Democratic candidate John Kerry today called for a return to fiscal responsibility in government spending, and vowed to scale back his own programs to make headway toward a balanced budget a priority. Isn't it amazing that someone so socially conservative, we're talking fringe right here, in George Bush can be such a cut-tax and spend liberal when it comes to money issues? We're talking record deficits and spending, and it's a hole that can't be closed with even more tax cuts, like George Bush wishes. Face it W, even gutting social security, Medicare, education, and other vital social programs, your tax cuts (that really only benefit people who don't need them) are absurd. What's sad is that our deficit projection does not even include the ever expensive cost of war in Iraq. John Kerry, you have a tough way ahead of you, but I believe you can be the man to bring us back to spending sanity. Capping spending on everything but education and security spending is a good start.
