Yes, it does; left wing spending tends to be domestic spending, not foreign entanglement spending and then refusing to pay for it.

Tell that to Lyndon Johnson, or FDR. Democrats have spent plenty on "foreign entanglements". Fact is, both sides like to spend, spend, spend. NEITHER gives a rat's ass about the debt.

The fact is, the left also gave us Hoover Dam, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and Moon loanding.

The right gave us a useless drug war they now, renege on paying for; nothing but renegades--instead of a Mission to Mars.

My bad -- I missed the link. But tobacco, being a habituating drug, isn't welcome here. The US taxpayers spend billions every year treating smokers who end up with lung cancer. We charge them a lot because we don't really want to deal with the problem their tobacco causes here.

That's hardly comparable to milk and dairy products, is it? :roll:

That's like saying that Clinton was a social conservative because he supported DADT. The current president shows us that the Republican party can be depraved beyond any prior measure. That still doesn't make GWB a progressive. He isn't and never was.

I'm not saying Bush was a progressive or even that compassionate conservatism is founded in progressive philosophy. I'm just saying there's a big difference between compassionate conservatism and Trump. So one can't claim it meant nothing.
