About 1000x more so we can turn it around on the republicans when they try and pull the "tax and spend liberals" trick. Here's to hoping we use it more coming up in the final stretch of the campaign here.

1. Great idea
Not only does it out their bogus economics it ties them to the culture of debt they promote.

But you're right. We can play, change-the-language too.

8. I like "charge it and spend" better, but the idea's exactly the same.

9. Borrow and Bomb conservatives.
They wouldn't have to borrow so much money if they didn't have to have their filthy dirty wars and all of their weapons of mass destruction.
