Kavips Beats Clatworthy on the Basics
Kavips does a great job making the affirmative case for Katz in the 4ths SD. Having said that – I’ll quote Kavips beating up on Clatworthy, because Kavips beats up on Clatworthy in a way that all “dead horse” republicans need to be beaten.
The dead-horse republican platform still beaten by Clatworthy, that one of stressing no taxes, is a misnomer.. Everyone knows that if you grow your economy by funding your appetite on debt, you will soon be out of money… Eventually, some day, you have to pay it back… Of course when you do, not only do you have to pay back the money that you borrowed, but you also pay back the interest on that deal as well. In other words you have to pay interest ON TOP OF all the goods and services you currently use and are paying for as you go… Even if you wanted your state to keep its expenditures at current levels, repair roads, fix schools, etc, you would have to slash necessary goods and services, Since no one can function without basic government services, roads, schools, etc., taxes inevitably will be raised… So just how seriously can we take his pledge to cut taxes?
Oh,…. but Republicans don’t cut taxes…Correct, they just defer taxes down the road, perhaps giving it to one’s children to make up the payments. If you didn’t believe it before, you should by now based on what we have all witnessed done to our national debt over the last 8 years….
Voting for Republicans just makes no fiscal sense whatsoever.

“Voting for Republicans just makes no fiscal sense whatsoever.”
Its OK, with the windfall Minner administration surplus laying around, we can afford a few more economic disasters like Pete DuPont.
Even Tom must admit that a Minner_Gore reign would certainly have turned out differently than the Minner_Bush era could have…..
Reducing the Federal Budget, meant a lot of State services had to be made up with other means…
I believe the figure of 5 Billion was proven in these pages somewhere……..
Tom can research News Journal records from 2001 to 2003 to verify it. It is not news to anyone on the finance committee at that time….
kavips…did you just throw Minner a bone? Go ahead and attack Bush, ‘cuz, well, he earned it, but trying to tie him to the useless mass known as Minner is a bit of a stretch.
Jason,

Wrong. Too much of a broad brush. I will parse this because it’s akin to me saying all democrats are bad and for closed government, by basing it on the acts of Adams, DeLuca, etc., but it ignores what someone like Petersen is attempting to accomplish.
However, the current idiots in Washington certainly forgot what responsible fiscal policy looks like.
Delaware, unlike the U.S., cannot practice deficit spending, so the point is moot at the state level.
Kavips again showing his limitations as a blogger and a citizen. Suck it baby!
Tax simplification makes much more sense than tax cuts.
