List of Costs under Bush/McCain

Whoa. Where are we getting Socialism here?

 

Does freedom still cost a buck oh-five?

 

Crazy is as crazy does, jg.

 

There's a biblical injunction against drawing attention to your good works.

Benny Hinn might not have told you that.

 

So now I worship Benny Hinn? Yes, I join the other Kool-Aid drinkers in worshiping at the alter of a con-artist.

 

You mean the unelected president?

 

Yeah, New Orleans is a port where thousands of people work and untold amounts of commerce go through each day.

So what?

Great argument.

 

Thanks. I thought so too.

 

I'm not espousing a system. I'm merely saying that this country wasn't founded with a particular economic system as an impetus. There were much more important issues that it was built upon.

 

I've never understood the argument that Clinton made the economy great. It was on the upswing when he came into office and it just kept going. Politicians' economic policies don't normally have an immediate effect — take the upcoming "economic stimulus package." Think they'll pour a bunch of money back out to us in May and then by June, everything will be just dandy? It's gonna take a while. And I'm sure that when your avatar is elected in November, you'll be happy to take credit for it.
I also don't understand the argument that dems not spending money on Iraq would help the economy. If they weren't spending it there, they'd sure as hell be spending it somewhere else. They're Democrats. And I'm not going to say I don't support any of those domestic programs, because I do. I'm no hard-core conservative, but don't piss on my face and tell me it's raining.

 

I'd rather the government spend money on helping the less fortunate than to spend it on further pissing away lives and money on the continued destabilization of a country that was effectively neutralized, just not with the leader we would have liked. Heck, I would support close to this level of military spending, if we were to spend it on getting the actual person responsible for the 9/11 deaths, as opposed to taking out a leader who was a sworn enemy of our enemy.

 

Not trying to defend the war. I wasn't in favor of it in the first place. But speaking of helping the less fortunate, don't we have an obligation to see the thing through? I mean, are we just going to yank out after going in there and fucking things up for the past five years?
Nah. I think helping out deadbeats who can't hold down a job is a much better way to help the less fortunate.
