[QUOTE="retiredone, post: 89277, member: 1576"] i have noticed several quotes mentioning liberals on the board. This makes me wonder. What is a liberal? It used to be somebody who was supported fiscally irresponsible postions (democrats?). It was more or less defined by the catch phrase "tax and spend". To be honest, I believed this contention until recently. It is hard to consider the democrats fiscally irresponsbile when compared to the republicans considering recent events. Ignoring the party slogans and conventional wisdom, the fact is that the republicans are spending like there is no tomorrow (consider the Alaska bridge to nowhere), and are not collecting taxes adequate to support their own spending. If there really is so much 'waste fraud and abuse" in the system lingering from democrat's control, why haven't the republicans taken on these easy targets? How can we continue to consider the republicans fiscally responsbile, when the debt and deficit has reached such levels under their control? Rather than using conventional wisdom to identify the big spenders, perhaps we should view the results. This might be a new thread, but I thought I would throw it out there for comment. [/QUOTE]
