"fiscal conservatives...?"

Jesus H CHRIST! Congress has to haggle for weeks over an F---ing "stimulus package" worth a hundred-fifty billion dollars when THE WAR has cost us TRILLIONS! How can people NOT get that there's a relationship between Bush's war for oil, and $100 per barrel oil?! Conservatives talk and talk about letting us keep more of our tax dollars. Well, which would you rather have? Your tax rate under Bill Clinton, and the prices for food, energy, health insurance from back then? Or your tax rate under "W", with all our basic needs priced triple what they were under Clinton? Notice where the money lands in the two scenarios: in the national treasury (our collective wallet), or in the coffers of multi-national corporations - owned by the world's Super-Rich. The stupidity of so-called "fiscal conservatives" astounds me.
