Rising U.S. debt pawns off freedom (Teepen)
<snip> And who is going to pay for all this?

The two-part answer is: Who knows? Who cares?

Apparently the same good budget fairy will pony up who is already paying for the Iraq war, who has bankrolled the permission for companies to repatriate profits from overseas without paying the usual taxes, who has somewhere found the boodle to fund three big personal tax giveaways mainly to the best-off and who favored giant agribusinesses and hugely profitable energy industries with large federal subsidies.

Well, thank you, good budget fairy! <snip>

1. Remeber when we had a Democratic president
and didn't have to hope for a "good budget fairy" for decent financial policies?

2. The Democrats have had to come in and clean up the economic.....
deficit disasters created by the republicans during the last several decades. This one issue alone is a good reason NOT to vote for republicans.
