Also lol at blaming legacy costs on W while completely ignoring social security, medicare and the social welfare state.
LOL!! at you thinking you always know what you're talking about.
Those W legacy costs took from the safety net trust funds. Maybe it's time they got paid back.
Chuck, I'm sensing a strong partisan bent from you. Are you denying that spending has far outpaced gdp growth, tax revenues or any other reasonable measure to peg spending against? Do you really believe the only legacy cost causing the problem is the prescription benefit?
Please further enlighten me on how "control of one's currency" makes piling up debt okay. Are you suggesting we can just hyperinflate our way out of debt? Because that's pretty stupid and would disproportionately mumps the poor (result of all liberal policy).
