In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

John Cole remarks:

I would love to hear how the Republican plan for slashing the deficit and tackling the debt will work. I’m interested in how capital gains tax cuts, making the Bush cuts permanent, ending the “death tax,” continuing the prescription drug plan while ignoring the rising costs of health care, permanent war in the middle east and privatizing social security are going to bring our books back into the black.

Three things here:
One, cutting taxes on rich people and businesses magically grows revenue, just look at the last eight years!  Rising tide lifts all boats.  That's the American way.  You are a real American, right?

Two, only America-hating liberals would question a single dime of our commitment to killing all Raghead Sunzabitches.  Why do you hate the troops and America?  I mean you're a real American, right?

Three, all those expesnses for one and two are possible because the plan is to basically eliminate all other social programs in America, because only poor people, illegal immigrants and lazy minorities use them, and you're not one of those, are you?  Of course not, you're a real American, so there's no reason not to cut a program that you, being a real American, would never use. 

And you are a real American, right?
