[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are 2 types of people in this country. The first group understands financial management and would NEVER run their own household budget this way - these people are mostly republicans with the exception of a couple areas like DMV where people have so much money that they feel insulated against whatever happens nationally or even globally (with their safe and secure government jobs, or so they thought) and so they like to feel superior and vote Democrat even though they must understand that we simply can’t afford most of this spending*. Then there’s a second group of people who have no idea how compound interest works, get themselves into all sorts of trouble with debt, and think that “government money” grows on trees and doesn’t understand that some of us are working really freaking hard to fund all of these programs (and, a lot of the time, waste).

* Another explanation is to look at the math skills of a lot of these people. They may have fancy degrees and big jobs as big lawyers or whatever but I do think that a lot of them probably really struggled with math in school. So maybe they just really don’t get it, despite earning lots of money.[/quote]

You must be really old to believe Republicans are fiscal conservatives or care anything about budgets or deficits. This isn't the 90s.[/quote]
