I prefer capitalism but with capital punishment for anyone found guilty of stealing or swindling money in excess of $1 million. I know capital punishment is a poor deterrent for those who commit violent crimes, but I have a feeling it would work to deter the Wall St. crowd from ripping us all...

The numbers are the numbers. No matter how you spin it, a $600 billion deficit 4 years from now is not a rational plan. And for that matter, I don't see how he 'inherited a deficit'. Yes Bush was financially reckless, but just because my wife ran up the credit cards in February doesn't mean...
