It never gets asked.......how, Mr. Bush, do you intend to pay for the massive debt you have laid on America? The republicans have proved they cannot control spending and they say they will not raise taxes. So, what's the plan?
Quite simply, there is none. It's just like the exit strategy for Iraq...non-existent. They seem to think it will just go away. Well, it won't, and the rich are the only ones who can afford to pay for it. Class warfare? Not hardly. I am a multi-millionaire. I have made a ton of cash during the past few years (although I made more under Clinton). I don't like giving up my money any more than anyone else, but I can't stand to see these bastards spend money like a drunk on a binge. Taxes will have to be raised, and someone with the cajones to do it will have to stand up and say enough is enough. You can bet your ass it will not be a republican. They have forgotten what conservatism is about.
No one wants higher taxes, but there is no alternative if we are to pay off this humongous debt.
Pay-as-you-go needs to be on the platform of the democrats. Remember the lock-box? The republicans picked that lock about six months into Bush's first term. It's empty now.

be the ones paying off the Chinese, Saudis and all the others. You nailed it when you said "They have forgotten what conservatism is about." There is nothing conservative about lying, bullying and blundering into an expensive foreign entanglement like Iraq. Nothing conservative about borrowing more money than all the presidents before you combined. Nothing conservative about trashing the environment.
