Like some of Bush's tax cuts. In context:

Ultimately every dollar that government spends has to be paid for
somehow, by someone sometime. If you think those tax cuts created
"free money" you are mistaken. When John McCain says that the current
Republican Congress spends money in a way that puts drunken sailors to
shame, that should tell you something about the "fiscally responsible"
party. Besides, unless you are very well off, most of the Bush tax
cuts didn't help you, anyway.

Not really--those dollars just add to the runaway federal debt. But your
point is valid: if tax cuts are given, spending should also be cut. A
simple premise, really, but seemingly forgotten by everyone in Washington,
including democrats.

They helped me, and I don't consider myself among the ultra-rich, as the
dems purport were the only beneficiaries.
