Amidst all the cacophony on the financial 'crisis', John McCain keeps talking about Obama's 'tax and spend' approach and how that would be bad for the economy, yada yada...Obama and his campaign should make this point:
There is going to be government spending involved. The question is, do you want to spend it on infrastructure, healthcare, education, etc., or on a bloody war which nobody wanted thrust on us. Where was John McCain when the Iraq invasion was planned? Did he think it was going to come free or cheap? So let's cut the cr@p on spending - let's talk about what we are going to spend on, and where to find this money. Oh, and there's this little thing called the 'national debt'. How do you think you can pay it back if you are not going to tax? That is, assuming that you have the intention to pay it back someday or the other.
The debate on 'spending' has to be laid to rest, once and for all!
