-See I don't think you are completely correct when you say spending has outpaced growth. There has been downturn in the economy and more people are losing their jobs. at least here in MI. No jobs means no taxes.

-Also, How are we not losing a share in the economy? Have you sen the growth in the top percents of income? that money has to come from somewhere.

-tax some of the middle class more? Ok fine...but where are the taxes for the upper class? or the corporations. they're giving them huge concessions under the guise of "stimulating business" that works marginally well at best...but its a nice republican fantasy.

-greedy snowplow drivers? Ha ha. They often get paid so much because they get a lot of overtime. if the unions are the saturated sponge what do you call corporate interests? a super tanker? a flood. But it figures that you republicans keep pointing the finger to the public sector. I think this problem is bigger than just unions but that was never the point. It was always about union busting, the GOP has be waiting for this moment to use panic to push their ideas, they did it after 911 and they're using this as their own economic 911.
