A deficit no matter who wins?

Neither plan is worth spit unless the Congress stops increasing spending. Increased taxes and increased spending on mean one thing, government growth. Both these guys are from the Congress. They know the games, they know the environment and they know spending to Congress is like a drug to a drug addict. Why should the government grow when the economy isn't?

If George Bush and the Republican controlled congress hadn't taken up with the spending addicts when they were in control, they wouldn't be looking at Independent voters to win a presidential race and we wouldn't be looking at probable losses by Republicans in congress. When Republicans act like Democrats, you might as well vote for the real thing.
