Fact: when Clinton left office there was a budget surplus, now, there is a deficit again. Seems to me there is no level of taxes, higher or lower, that can make that fiscally responsible. Also, when doing some quick research I came across this site. I haven't had time to read all of it, but I thought it was interesting. http://www.eriposte.com/politics/bush/bush.htm --D14 I find it interesting that people (republicans) seem to be ignoring what I like to call “facts” when it comes to the whole fical responsibility issue.

You know them "liberals," all "liberal" with their money, always wanting to give it to poor people and schools and shit, instead of letting the wealthy simply hoard it. On another note, what`s with the little icons after every one of your links? Is that so we know they`re links and not just blue underlined text? “Fiscal irresponsibility” sounds like a term coined by the Republican party to negatively frame the spending habits of the Democrats.

It will be worthwhile. I disagree with the pay for it later mentality. I don't think NH should spend what it doesn't have. For one thing, people think that Democrats are fiscally irresponsible and if they run up a deficit they may not stay in office. This is even if it is for education and even if they have a clear plan for the future. And I think that the Dems will need to be in office for more than 2 years to get the education thing resolved (or at least to show that it is working so that the republicans do repeal everything). We need reasonable, well thought out government. I agree that we should not worry about how much education costs (within reason of course… there always needs to be accountability).

It's not like it grows on trees. I think we should pretty much pay as much as it takes to fix the education crisis and then worry about how to pay for it after. If we can do it with war, we can do it with something productive, nay? tizz Why do we worry about paying more for better education? It’s not like it grows on trees.
