Reply #7: Both parties "spend". Republicans just charge it to the national credit card. [View All]

Dems "tax and spend".

Repubs "borrow and spend"...and they spend a lot more than the Dems do.


Still, the issue is spending. We need to stop unvetted earmarks (pork). We need to stop war spending. We need to start investing in technologies (like alternative energy) that may cost money now, but have a payout in the future. We need to completely revamp our tax code to eliminate tax breaks for individuals and corporations who don't earn them.

Obviously, these are not Republican planks. It'll take a Dem in the White House and a Dem majority in Congress to get things done.
