"Deficits don't matter"

[LaydeeBug]

Remember that, Dick Cheney?

Dick Cheney: You know, Paul, Reagan proved that deficits don't matter. We won the mid-term elections, this is our due.
to Paul O'Neill, then Treasury Secretary (The Price of Loyalty)

2. It was the rest of his statement that never made it into the news

Deficits don't matter....... when the money is spent on the wealthy.

They only matter if its wasted on the lesser people.

3. Poor people will just go out and spend anything you give them

And where would we be then, eh?

No, wealthy people know how to properly care for money, how to nurture it and hold proper reverence for its awesome power when collected together into vast piles.
