Why do you single out Democrats? Isn't it also odd how so few Republicans pay more than they have to? And isn't it odd how some Republicans in this forum lack any common sense?
Isn't it odd how a major American defense contractor, then led by the current Vice President, established 35 new offshore subsidiaries in for example the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Trinidad and Tobago, Panama, Liechtenstein, and Vanuatu?
The Republicans have recently shown themselves to lack any spending discipline. Budget deficits have ballooned every year under Bush, not attributable just to increased defense spending (no-bid contracts and the like). Pork is out of control, since Bush refuses to restrain or threaten to restrain his party. If the Democrats controlled Congress and the Presidency, it could hardly be worse. Still, the best way to achieve financial discipline is to have a Democratic president with a Republican-controlled Congress.
