Why? Didn't your hero Dick Cheney say that we don't need balanced
budgets? And your hero Ronald Reagan began the whole thing. Clinton
left us with a surplus. Then your hero Dubya plundered the country
again and you expect Obama to balance the budget in a few months. You
are truly a wingnut. How are those "golden showers" you're getting from
the rich? You know those who practice "trickle down" economics?
