@spendius,
little late in responding..
But, your right which is why all the fattening high priced foods are right at eye level and the good for you food is way up high or down really low. If we really stretch it, I guess we could keep going with the metaphor, but it would be silly. I was kinda stretching it in the last post.
My only point was that over the last decade, it seems we have been gutting everything in government and keeping taxes low with not too good result so I don't see why more of the same which has continued even with Obama, would result any differently. The only big spending has basically been the stimulus packages and the affordable health care bill and they have been way less than the tax cuts over the years. I have personally seen benefits from the health care bill, I don't think any republican is really going to repeal it even if the mandate ends up being unconstitutional in Roberts SC.
