How radical is that? It sure as hell isn't conservative. As he was spending billions and billions on the war in Iraq, he was asking for more taxcuts. As he was wasting money like a drunken sailor, he was spending the Social Security insurance fund on taxbreaks for his wealthy friends. How conservative is that? This year he will have the largest deficit in the history of the world. But, not to worry, he is a man of values. He knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.

3. This was Al Frankin interviewing Paul Krugman...
According to Paul Krugman, no society in history has cut taxes while waging war!!
