Do I agree that the average American won't have more money ("spending power") if we reduce the debt?  No I absolutely do not agree with that statement.

Reducing the debt would be huge, in my opinion it would put much more money in the hands of average Americans by reducing inflation, devaluation of the dollar and restoring confidence in businesses, much more so than lowering taxes would. It would be the best possible thing we can do and we can start reducing the debt right now by cutting back on federal spending.

Actually, I am kind of hoping that entire country climb out of the worst recession in my lifetime.

Scratch beneath the surface of a typical so called compassionate liberal on the other hand and you'll find that what they are really about is protecting [b]their own[/b]. Cut spending, nope.  Increase taxes, yes sure let's do that it is only fair...

The sad fact of Republicans is that they always think of the world in terms of "our own" and "other people".  It is the only filter they have.  This is why racism and religious discrimination figure so prominently in the party.  [/quote]
