smirk said he was going on a "conservative spending spree"

[donsu]

heard this on Wash. Journal this morning.


he's laughing at us

[CornField]

1. No, he's pissing off the fiscally conservative faction of the GOP

Let him have his spending spree -- hope he enjoys it as those who have clung to the GOP only for fiscal purposes begin to drop off like flies sprayed with RAID.

[ComplimentarySwine]

10. I don't think that's what he meant

At least, the quote I heard was something about spending "political capital". This was on one of the right-wing local shows, but they said it had something to do with the supposed "mandate"...

[CornField]

13. Figuratively or Literally... he will be thumbing his nose

at the moderates left within the party.

[aden_nak]

2. Most ironic phrase ever!

Conservative: Moderate; cautious.
Spending Spree: A brief period of extravagant spending.

[kikiek]

3. I think he is thumbing his nose at conservatives. He will self destruct.

We need to keep the pressure on him.

[RPM]

4. what the fuck does that even mean????

more unintelligable babble from the chimp

[GiovanniC]

5. I Hope Those Bastards Are Enjoying Their President

Because they are fucked too. Well, at least their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are.

[southpaw]

6. What's he gonna do...

Buy truck-loads of Bibles, Guns and NASCAR memorabilia?

[info being]

7. Are the elites intentionally trying to destroy our economy?

Expect our currency to be worthless in 6 months.

[GiovanniC]

9. That Is Not an Unlikely Scenario

Saddle the country with so much debt that the only way to prevent a complete and total economic meltdown is to cut services dramatically and even abolish some. In the crosshairs: Social Security, Medicare, Education, Welfare, Environment and anything else they see as "socialistic".

[stevietheman]

11. the real debt crunch is coming...

as there have been reports as of late about the increasing difficulty of selling U.S. Treasury bonds. If we can't sell the bonds, then the debt ceiling cannot effectively be raised. Then, the U.S. faces bankruptcy.

8. Oxy-moron

Pun intended

:silly:

12. Shopping List: (1)privitize So.Sec. (2)spread freedom (3)tax reform/cuts

Any other ideas? Energy Bill perhaps?

The first four years spending spree: (1)Tax Cuts for Wealthy
(2)Prescription Drugs (drug co. handout).
(3)Spread Freedom (Defence Contractors).
(4)Tax Cuts for Corporations

If the government is actually bankrupt - then they can cut all social programs (the Grover Norquist plan) - but I think it's more that Bush is a spoiled rich kid who's always had family and friends to come along and bail him out of financial jams.

Who's going to bail out the US when he's driven us to bankruptcy? The IMF?

[BarbaRosa]

14. Going on a spending spree?

Umm, what did I miss?

[Dulcinea]

15. WTF is a "conservative spending spree?"

[DustMolecule]

16. I think it means "spending other people's money like there's no tomorrow"
