What is my source for the observation that "The nearly unanimous Republican position on the growing national debt" is that that it produces no benefit and succeeds only in burdening future generations with our unproductive current spending, and<br /><br />2. You are actually asking how this perspective on the debt shape Republican political and legislative strategy?<br /><br />The answer to the first question is that I am inferring the overall position from the accumulation of Republican comments and votes on the Wall Street bailout, the stimulus package, health care and the debt, itself.<br /><br />The answer to the second question is that Republicans believe that casting Obama and Congressional Democrats as mythological tax-and-spend politicians and not cooperating with any important part of the Obama domestic agenda is a winning political strategy regardless of the social cost of doing nothing on health care and spending too little to rescue and reshape the economy.<br /><br />None of the above, incidentally, should be used to conclude that I think all Democratic plans are good ideas. The Wall Street/AIG/bank bailout, for example, was wasteful and rescued too little (and too many undeserving) from the consequences of their private, heedless and anti-social pursuit of exorbitant profit.Jeff Eptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032123875722494329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604786551569475561.post-41826274886474362362009-09-23T23:30:59.005-04:002009-09-23T23:30:59.005-04:00what definition of republican position economy? a...what definition of republican position economy? and what it use in country?Lovely LoV3 In tH3 S0nGS^_^https://www.blogger.com/profile/05490346987612045399noreply@blogger.com
