2. "Conservatives" seem incapable of conserving anything.
Except their profit margins

5. Good point. Not money, honor, patriotism (true); not any facet of the environment. Nada.

6. I always thought a fiscal conservative
was someone who only spent the money they had, be it hundreds or millions. I once explained it to someone as debit vs credit (this person didn't have a credit card because of how devastating they can be).

10. i don't use credit. At all.
of course, I don't own anything, either.

BUT...... the financial meltdown won't have much to do with me until it gets too expensive to eat.....

11. It will be interesting to see how
those who don't own anything are affected by this. Credit can be a dangerous tool in the wrong hands...

14. If this was 8 years ago, I would be toast....
A lot of people are going to go crazy for real if they can't go shopping for stuff.....you know, mall stuff....

if we go back to the Depression for real, I expect killings in the cities over the break with what we consider normal...

But that's just me.

21. TRICKLE UP ECONOMICS in action!
As usual repukes create a buzzword which paints a picture 100% opposite from reality:

Tax n Spend liberals? Nope Tax n Spend republicans.
Fiscal responsibility=fiscal irresponsibility (or theft).
Do nothing Congress=blocked Congress
Stay the course=whichever course it takes to stifle public interest.
War on terror=spread terror
Smaller government=bigger government
Transparency=smokescreen
Fiscal conservative=wanton spender/thief
Trickle Down Economics=Trickle Up Economics

22. I like the term "borrow and spend".
Sounds a lot more irresponsible than "tax and spend". Why aren't the Dems using that?
