[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 1563241, member: 56035"] i mean they are very right wing but they are corporatists. ron paul is the only one i know who is honest, but i think he hypes up free markets too much. ron paul is also a socialist in a sense that he signed onto some pro cooperative legislation. yea i saw how bush expanded the debt with wars and tax cuts for the rich. one interesting theory i heard is the republicans like to go into debt, because it creates a good excuse to cut social programs which the wealthy are opposed to. i think reagan really expanded the debt as well. then when the banks started collapsing, it was OK to bail them out and go in debt. but after the banks were "taken care of" then all of a sudden we need to be "fiscally responsible" which means make cuts to average joes who had little to do with the great recession. i think it was chomsky the other day who said theres nothing in economic history that says you should cut your way out of a recession / depression. its class war. but i think alot of democrats are war mongers as well. you cant just vote republican or democrat, you have to know who it is your voting for because theres a corporate stronghold over politics and most of them are bought off.
