Christian Democrats in the United States
Domestic Issues - National Debt We are gradually enslaving our descendents toward inevitable tax hikes for debt service, unless we strike a meteor gold rush some day soon. Painful as they may be, we must adopt policies that require us to pay as we go, and have minimum set-asides for payment of interest and principal. History shows that getting our act together results in a stronger economy. We must reign in our out-of-control high-tech military budget without sacrificing basic troop necessities like body armor and armored vehicles. We should also set maximum borrowing caps against the slope of long-term GDP trend under any circumstance, even war, or we will sell ourselves out to foreign creditors at a vulnerable time.

That's all fine, even if the U.S.S.R. did not just self-destruct under its own weight while American politicians took credit for it.
Today, Vladimir Putin announced that Russia has a trade and budget surplus, that the Russian economy is entering an economic bubble, while the American economy, according to Greenspan today, is on the edge of a major downturn.
Balancing a checkbook is not hard to understand. Regardless of how big the numbers are, you cannot spend more than you make.
The current administration has spent more money on defense, and tanked our economy further into the red than any in the history of the U.S. Furthermore, the economic defense strategy that worked against the massive Soviet state simply has no relevance to small groups of terrorists. Yet the robots in government and think-tank meeting rooms are trapped in this mentality because it puts money in their elite pockets.
Americans have been made so afraid of terrorists that we have spent ourselves dry. We have fallen victim to the strategy that we used against the Soviets in the 80's. Take a wild guess what expanding eastern economic powers benefit from our impending economic collapse due to overspending on the war on terror -- Russia and China.
And while we are going broke, the industry cronies and anti-patriots in the White House are laughing all the way to the bank as they raid the DoD of our hard-earned money. They have been bought off with beads and trinkets that will all lose their luster if the whole economy collapses.
And they are trying to BUY YOU OFF with a lousy THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR TAX REBATE? Like $300 is going to pay your rent for the next year? Give me a break - a truth break.
Get real, America! This year, vote for someone who is going to balance the checkbook and put us on track to pay off the colossal debt that the corporate thieves have left for generations to come.

The U.S. strategy often claimed to be the key to defeating the Soviet Union was Reagan's acceleration of defense spending, to cause an arms buildup that the communist system could not support economically.That's all fine, even if the U.S.S.R. did not just self-destruct under its own weight while American politicians took credit for it.
