Yeah, I will defend that over a bunch of messageboard ideologues who demand something be done, and then when it is, do nothing but whinge and offer no solution bar taxing some profits that havent been made and won't be declared for a year or more. I'd rather we not borrow more, but it strikes me that something needs to be done now, not tomorrow.

Jesus wept, do you guys deliberately try and make the Left look unelectable or what?
Is anyone actually arguing that the government shouldn't borrow to pay for this?

The debate is about the fairness of how it should be repaid.
