To the contrary, it is Democrats who are for Pay-Go and Republicans who jettison it.
We are suffering massive, massive costs from >9% unemployment and from factories and other resources going unused right now, and there is just this massive myopia about those costs. Those are the costs we ought to be concerned about. Meanwhile, government revenues as a proportion of GDP are lower they they have been since you were born. "What cost?" The reason we have budget deficits is that taxes keep dropping.

This is hogwash at every level. Forget about patriotism and just doing the right thing. Most members (other than the ultra safe districts) of congress are more vulnerable the worse the economy is. We have seen massive shifts in congress over the last 6 years because of this.

You have an entire crew of Republicans in the House who are playing Russian Roulette with the naiton's credit rating and the economy. Give me a break. None of them are saying, yes, we ought to stimulate the economy but we must find the most efficient way to do it.
