So I was reading an article on Jack Conway (the Democratic candidate in the upcoming Senate election here in Kentucky) and how he's flip-flopped on whether or not to extend the Bush tax cuts. During the primary, he asserted that they should be allowed to expire. Now, purportedly to seem less liberal, he's calling for an extension of the tax cuts.
Something smells fishy, yes?
I found it even more annoying when, upon scrolling down to read the comments, someone was calling Republicans hypocrites for complaining about the national debt, then demanding tax cuts, which would "increase the deficit." It seems someone has forgotten that conservatives, as a general rule, also support less government spending.
Granted, there are a few 'Republicans' who are all for big government.
But most of us wish we didn't have things like the Stimulus law adding to the deficit. I mean, what's it given me? Hmm...let's see...we've had two road construction projects that tout the "American Investment and Recovery Act" signs. One can probably be deemed helpful, but did we actually need that money to get it done? The other doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. One lane of traffic is blocked off, and the lane where the construction people were working has been covered with fresh, bumpy pavement. I'm not sure what they're doing there.
I still believe the only reason those signs went up by the projects was to further annoy people on their way home from work as they're stuck in traffic because of the blocked roads. Kentucky is pretty conservative.
