Spend

With the unemployment rate zooming toward 10 percent and belt-tightening occurring all across the country, the Democrats' key response can be summarized in one word: spend. What's wrong with this picture? Now comes word that as banks are trying to return taxpayer-provided TARP money ASAP, the Democrats are looking at the money not as a way to pay down some of this avalanche of new debt, but as a new spending windfall. If the Democrats aren't stopped, we'll be bankrupt as a nation.
