Why do you think conservatives are so much more worried about inflation and the value of the dollar than...?

That's what the right-wing media tells them to worry about. It's not that they care about deficits or the dollar. Look at what bush did. If Clinton-era surpluses were allowed to continue, the debt would be /paid off/ by now. They're only pretending to care about it now to rpevent Obama from doing anything.

Republicans are intentionally trying to bankrupt the nation to eliminate social services. It goes back to Reagan, who started running huge deficits during good times. Now we're supposed to be running deficits. It's how you build an economy out of a recession/depression. But the repubs don't want the economy fixed. As long as there's a bad economy they can blame it on Obama. Not that I like the dems much, but repubs have been intentionally trying to destroy all of what I hold dear about this nation for decades. They never got over losing the Social Security fight and have wanted it abolished since the fifties.
