Quote from jem:

Fiscal conservatism is about cutting spending.
Or Cutting taxes appropriately so that revenues go up to balance budget.

When was the last time a conservative president balanced the budget ?
 
This is how you can tell that someone is out of touch with reality, and has had zero experience as a business person. If the businesses were busy, and had more business than they could handle, the "greedy" (profitable) thing to do WOULD be to hire.

Bullshit wallstreet will not get "record bonuses". I have a number of close friends in bulge brackets, in front office and elsewhere and I know exactly what their bonuses are.

Quote from bearmountain:

Businesses out of their own greed are reluctant to hire, this despite businesses showing record profits.

Businesses are reluctant to loan money, this despite their borrowing rate is close to zero.

Wall street will payout record bonus this year in 2010, but they are also poised to cut back thousands of jobs, further hurting families and the NYC economy.

Note... revenues went up with Reagan's tax cuts.

So did budget deficits and the national debt,more then any other president up to that point.


Cutting taxes while running up huge deficits and the national debt isn't what I would call conservative.
 
Quote from phenomena:

Of course he's not "bad for business", he's owned by them. He's bad for the people. He took money from Americans, and future generations and gave it to them. He bailed out big business at the expense of the tax payer, and inflated the dollar so that it looked like actual wealth was created. Rah rah Barry!! Now, what about that part where I'm gonna get my mortgage and gas paid for???
