Deficit spending is really a recent fad if you think about it.
If we got our deficit paid off, taxes would be MUCH MUCH lower and create a virtuous cycle |

(4) Hummers and big SUVs everywhere

it synthesized so much of that era: Bush's 'Mega Church' capitalism, housing bubble, Chickenhawk militarism (yellow Hummer), easy money, shitbooming, blackberry. |

I have spent my entire adult life trying to undo mistakes and get back to a lifestyle like I had as a kid in like 1996-1999 (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3901300&forum_id=2#35474000) |
