133. Little benefit arguing at their level. Prefer high-level smack downs like this

The hardcore RW will not be persuaded by facts or reason. Instead, I try to give the persuadable people something new to think about. This is an example I posted earlier today at wral.com:


pingaels,

We balanced the budget the last two years under Clinton, and were paying down the national debt. Image that. Did not need a balanced budget amendment. Just a Dem Congress and President.

Scared Wall Street because government borrowing at all levels using bonds is the main source of Wall Street's money. Keeping governments in debt, always re-borrowing, skims large percent of tax revenues with no benefit to taxpayers. Worse than making minimum payments on credit cards. Trapped and vulnerable. Tax cuts for the wealthy "job producers" keeps government always in debt. The final insult: that extra money from lower taxes is used to buy and profit from the bonds now required to refinance because lower tax revenue from the rich. NO JOBS either. Those bonds will just sit until redeemed at taxpayers expense, likely reinvested in still more bonds with little or no tax exposure. Repeat.

Real reason for Bush tax cut. Two long wars made it much worse, and out of control.
