Go over to that "world meters" thread and look at those mind-boggling numbers in the various spending programs. Common sense says you can't keep running that on borrowed money.
I wasn't really making this argument, so I don't know why you pounced on it. Attacking trickle-down is attacking the redistribution of wealth upwards to the rich. And, unlike me, the rich don't go out and spend that money - not all of it. They bank it for future generations -- which does nothing to help the economy.

so TL I take it from your answer you think you money disapears when you spend it? Oh and yes the rich do spend thier money, they buy companies.... instead of a buying some 2x4's to ad onto their house they buy the whole freakin' saw mill then the people who justed to own the saw mil buy what ever they want... and so on and so on... that's how the world works... so what if the rich buy a multi million dollar yatch.... that yatch doesn't build it'self. people are employeed to build that yatch.... trickle down read it and weep. when the rich buy land and put a multi million dollar mansion on it does the mansion just appear or do people employeed by the construction company trade hours of their life and their skills to build said mansion?
The only thing worse then lowering taxes right now is increasing spending and taxes. Taxes are right where they should be, spending is out of control. This spending freeze is a joke, there should be an across the board 10% spending cut nothing absolutly nothing spared. I know the numbers TL try over 1.56 this year debt, 14 trillion on the books debt, 36+ trillion in off the books debt, 106 trillion in unfunded liabilites and derivates (sp? for the snobs) All trying to be paid for with only 2.2-2.5 trillion in revenues. And we haven't even added the debt for healthcare, cap and trade, the new climate watchdog agency.
Whiskey, bullets and gold... whiskey bullets and gold.
