We are afraid to raise revenue by taxing people, so we have a gigantic debt. Kudos to Lori Montgomery of the Washington Post for pointing it out. Her paper is generally unhelpful in informing people about such basic facts. Bush wrecked our economy and looted our treasury. But he had a lot of help. Find the people who helped him, and get rid of them. Figure out who is standing in the way of fixing the mess and make them pay for it. Poor people didn’t do this to our country. Middle class people can’t afford to fix the problem. More importantly, they shouldn’t be asked to fix the problem.

You meant helpful I think?
No. I don’t. The Post is generally unhelpful. Period,
The Post used to be a paper of record, like the NYT. Now they are scarcely better than the Washington Times, a huge joke. The Post has taken its long record and totally destroyed it under Fred Hiatt, a total asshole.
I remember this it gave the taxcutters legitimacy. Greenspan was still respected in 2001 and that was way irresponsible and really, really stupid.
“Find the people who helped him, and get rid of them”
If only Obama had done this instead of pursuing bi-partisanship.
