If you picked McCain you win a prize. McCain's proposals would cause three times more deficit spending than either Clinton or Obama:

Mr. McCain’s plan would appear to result in the biggest jump in the deficit, independent analyses based on Congressional Budget Office figures suggest. A calculation done by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center in Washington found that his tax and budget plans, if enacted as proposed, would add at least $5.7 trillion to the national debt over the next decade.

Fiscal monitors say it is harder to compute the effect of the Democratic candidates’ measures because they are more intricate. They estimate that, even taking into account that there are some differences between the proposals by Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, the impact of either on the deficit would be less than one-third that of the McCain plan.

Enough of the "fiscal responsibility" or "pro-growth" bullshit.

I posted this yesterday and it was roundly ignored by “fiscally conservative” McCain voters.

This is why I entitled my thread “Willful Ignorance”. The fact is, they don’t want to know.

There has only been one president and congress since the 80's that's taken getting rid of the debt with any seriousness.

Very true.... and even they failed to reduce the debt.

Ike and the Dem Congress in fiscal year 1960 were the last to accomplish that feat.
