Sigh – where’s a fiscal conservative to go?

Well not to the Republicans.

Its time we fire these socialists and get Arthur Laugher in there.

Never heard of him...oh you mean Arthur Laffer. Oh well, he probably isn't interested at 64 and living, last I heard, in San Diego. Who'd give up that nice weather for the crap they have in DC (sorry James, no offense, but that humidity was murder).

I guess it's too much to ask a Republican President to take the political hit and admit the deficit is higher than reported or just taking the money straight from the Social security fund and admitting there is no Social Security surplus. Of course, this means Clinton never had a surplus. Sigh - where's a fiscal conservative to go? Let's not forget that the deficit is also masked with the money from the Social Security Surplus.
