now will you stop pickin on me LB!

honestly the boy jon insists on wearing it all the time now.

Yeah, I noticed you forgot to mention the corporate welfare side of things. I guess we only see what we are willing to see. Yes, those things are also a problem. But my point is that we are going deeper into debt to finance the operations in Iraq.

“It is not the spending we choose to make that is driving us under”

No, it’s the inability to live on a budget.

Honestly, with that grammar, I’m not exactly sure I even understood what you said. ;-)

“I’ve never questioned even one of your statistics”

Heh… good thing. I’m pretty sure I never post statistics. ;-)

“I stand by what I said.”

And… as I’ve said before… I fully see your point. But I am the ONLY ONE here who sees anyone else’s point I think. Or at least the only one who will acknowledge anyone elses point.

This country is deep in debt because of the occupation of Iraq and that money is going to have to be paid back somehow.
That’s a load of crap. This country is deep in debt because of Medicare, farm subsidies, and a Social Security structure that that undermines private savings and investment. It is not the spending we choose to make that is driving us under, it is the spending we have committed ourselves to because we want our neighbors to pay our way. I would think that as supposed Libertarian (putting the “pose” in “suppose”) you would realize that.

This is funny because CMAR will be the first to jump someone’s case for using a bullshit statistic

I’ve never questioned even one of your statistics, Jon.
I stand by what I said. However, if you are one of the .01%, let me help you with your bags.

The US taxpayer will be paying for this war for a long time and getting no actual benefit from it. Yeah, it’s really beautiful.

CMAR– “the US people merely reserve for themselves the right to straighten out criminal regimes that make it unsafe for its citizens to walk the streets”

Yeah, but sadly they elected Bush a second time too. So much for straightening out criminal regimes.

“They resent every dime”

It would be one thing if the US had handled all its domestic issues, but that is not the case. This country is deep in debt because of the occupation of Iraq and that money is going to have to be paid back somehow. The American taxpayer cannot afford to foot the bill for the deposing of every uncooperative puppet dictator that we installed.

“The fact is that 99.99% of Americans don’t want to live anywhere else”

This is funny because CMAR will be the first to jump someone’s case for using a bullshit statistic.

Hank– “a totalitarian empire that denies all political and religious freedom”

Brought to them by the dipshits of the Bush administration.

“Is that snide punctuation meant to make some kind of intelligent point?”

Must have been over your head.

Blasphemer– “Give the secular commie dis-information stuff up BirdLady, and while you’re at it give up the Islamic fascism also.”

You are such a sucker. You’re going to support the Bush administration and then criticize anyone else for deception? You can’t see the trees for the forest.
