It USED to be that Democrats spend money on social programs- people and Republicans spent money on infrastructure. Dems paid for teacher pay, Reps paid for school buildings.That most have been another world. Now Dems call for fiscal restraint and responsibility, pay-as-you-go, very centrist. While the GOP only spends on the military budget, but doesn't have a way to pay for it because they want to give the big corporations (esp. oil) and super wealthy a free ride, while the middle class gets squeezed and the poor get screwed.
Reagan tried to make us believe that government is the enemy. Government is US, it's our tool for taking care of ourselves, taxes suck, but they pay for things like safe bridges and decent roads. When will America wake up from our 27 year drunken stupor and act like an adult? Even if it means dealing with a hangover for a while? They say we're living in another "Gilded Age." I for one am not looking forward to another Great Depression.
