?? Fiscal prudence is the antithesis of Big Government. Both aspects are joined from the toes to the nose.

No. Fiscal prudence and big government are not antithetical at all.

Starting two wars at virtually the same time is an example of big government.

Deciding to cut taxes and not put those wars in the budget is an example of fiscal imprudence.

Democrats, under Clinton, adopted a pay-go strategy... all new spending must have it's funding covered. That is fiscal prudence. We could double, tripe, quadruple the size of government and as long as we paid for it, it would be fiscally prudent. Might not be a good idea, but, that's a separate discussion.

It probably hadn't come up as a topic in this thread before because only you and a few others around here take your partisanship seriously enough to think that this is a partisan issue...





So I linked a story a few days ago, then someone linked a story from a blogger that claimed it was a fabrication, then I find in another message board a followup thread on this topic linking that page which corroborates the first link I posted...

So, are you positing that the link I put here is to a story that's fabricated? Are you saying that the memo scanned is fabricated as well?

It's not completely unthinkable that it could be fabricated I suppose... it's not unthinkable that some random blogger would fabricate his "sound rebuttal" either in the light of the national coverage of the first story, which you believe is fabricated... but honestly... it would seem an elaborate scam over a small issue to be fabricating all of it, but I guess you'll believe what you want.

No, what I think is you're a slightly better educated version of Bluearrow.

Yeah, we know.

So are we still raging because some kid was offered some chicken nuggets at the school cafeteria? Or are we on to raging about something else?

The outrage over this issue is hilarious.
