Is staying consistent with a political ideology important?

[Derek]

consistent on principle yes, but not for the sake of being consistent. either way it's better than being a flip flopper

[Derek]

that's a good quote but I don't like him

[Derek]

I don't like that part of his idea though. Some spending yes, but not to the point where too many ppl are dependent on the government for work. That's not what Adam Smith would've meant either. I've never known the government to handle a situation other than the military correctly so I'm in favor of low taxes, free trade, low tariffs, low wage requirements, and limited spending. As far as consistency, you do have a point. During the depression, the most important economic factor would've been ppl being able to eat. Right now it's the deficit. It does depend on the times.
