Reply #40: The R's never have and never will take that seriously.

The problem is the leader of the Ds, our President, is rhetorically backing them up by saying that America needs to get its fiscal house in order, be responsible and cut spending in order to help the economy. That's the wrong approach politically and more importantly, it's the wrong approach to helping the economy. The American people know that creating jobs is what's needed now and they've had no help from the Ds in coming to that conclusion. Take advantage of that. Brow beat the R's. Intimidate them. Make them wish they never took you on on this issue. Make the American people understand you're on their side. Make the R's pay a costly political price for their obstruction and ignorance of history. And above all, if you're the leader of the Ds, don't give credence to the false conservative idea that cutting off government spending is the ticket out of financial situations like the one we're now in.
