Kerry Says He Would Cap Federal Spending

[classical liberal]

It would be interesting to see a campaign as showing Bush's campaign promisses vs what he's delivered.  I don't understand how people applaud Bush for knowing where he wants to go; he has absolute power at the moment, so where he wants to go should be exactly where we are.  The fact that we aren't exactly where he wants us to be should be a testament to his lack of leadership ability.

'Fiscal Discipline' is a fairly unimportant concept that should be about tenth on our list of priorities at the moment.  As long as most of the spending is on the military and wars its all good.

I'm not even going to start on the many dimensions of incorrectness in this statement.

For every penny we borrow we have to pay interest on it.  We really only should buy new guns to maintain the truth of the fact that we have the best equiped military in the world.  As long as we're better than everyone else we really shouldn't be killing our credit.
