Ever see that episode of the Sopranos, where the gambling addict owes money to the mob and can't pay? So they take over his business and run it into the ground, borrowing money they have no intention of repaying, so they can recoup the loss and leave him in the hole. That's what this is like. The deficit has reached a record level and they keep charging more and more extravagant purchases. They even started a war as a corporate welfare project. We have the mob answering the phone.
How does this address the deficiencies of the opposition? The poster has already pointed out that he doesn't care for the Bush policies, but at least has the intellectual honestly to acknowledge that his opposition party doesn't bring any alternatives to the table. All you do is switch "Bush = Hitler" with "Bush = Mob". Go educate yourself in Macroeconomics already.
While I expect to see this degree of stupidity in Slashdot, it distrubs me that it got moderated so high.
