“Fiscal conservatism means fiscal responsibility…”

Which is why most sane conservatives opposed TARP.

On another note, increased money supply correlates to higher interest rates and inflation, and the Fed has, over the past couple of months, interjected around one-trillion into circulation. Adding inflation to a 10% unemployment rate could lead to an economic disaster.

As to deficits, the stock market is up around 30% since March; this should help lower the unemployment rate. Since, according to the White House, only around $112-billion of the $800-billion TARP funds have actually been allocated, it might be wise to re-direct the remaining money back to the Treasury, and reduce our $2-trillion dollar deficit to $1.3T.

Planned? Sounds like organized terrorism rather than a lone gunman. Boy I am glad Steve Newton was so outraged by that DHS report. Surely that report was so wrong.

Alleged Dr. Tiller assassin Roeder said today: “I know there are many other similar events planned around the country as long as abortion remains legal.”

I wonder if our religious conservative torture advocates like Tom S and David A believe that Roeder should be tortured to find out what he knows.

Unfortunately h., the current fiscal policy of modern conservatives is not fiscally conservative. Fiscal conservatism means fiscal responsibility, with the reduction of the deficit and national debt as well as balancing the federal budget of paramount importance.

That does not describe conservatives today. All they want to do is cut all taxes, while increasing spending on the military and other pet projects of the social right.

If only the Republicans would take the emphasis off of religious conservatism and stick to fiscal conservatism, the Democratic Party would be toast.

Newt is just seriously confused. I think he’s spouting more of the belief that the U.S. is better than all other nations and that we’re blessed by God or something. Yet in the same sentence he’s basically hating on Americans that don’t agree with them. Not only do Republicans want to shrink the Republican party, they want to shrink the United States as well.
