All that debt we now owe to China is 'good debt'! hahaha Thanks to our idiotic gov't, those rule don't apply to big business either. They failed their way to a big payday. Must be nice to live by this 'other set of rules'. I guess that's where Dave's statement about “you can have great intentions and still be wrong, be sincere, but still stupid” really starts to make sense. Thanks, that made my day. On more than one occasion, a liberal pf blogger has told me that “normal personal finance rules do not apply to government”.

These pf bloggers mean well, they truly want to stop pollution and feed the hungry, etc. The problem is that they think that the government is the best way to accomplish their altruistic goals. On more than one occasion, a liberal pf blogger has told me that "normal personal finance rules do not apply to government". The main reason that they do not want to get political is because it causes controversy and they are afraid of their blog becoming as small as mine. :) Mr. NtJS,

We've been on Dave's plan for 5 years or so and listening to his radio show for about as long. While his show is not about politics, he is definately not afraid to give his opinion, and very definately not afraid to offend some folks! I too realy enjoyed the lecture portion of the Town Hall for Hope. Somebody at some point has to start calling these policies stupid, and I'm glad we have Dave to do so. Now here is where I'm confused.... There are actually PF bloggers in <i>favor</i> of high taxation, government controlling businesses, and these stupid 'stimulus' packages!?! Are you kidding me?!
