    Cutting taxes, vetoing spending, and waging wars...what's the real cost?

    As I read stories about various infrastructure issues, studies of what it would take to make all our schools safe and up to code, that kind of thing, I just look at the number that has funded the war in Iraq and think what might have been. There are always choices that are made...it's up to the...

    Question for insurance agents...

    I have heard some recent talk regarding single payer health care and every individual taking out their own insurance plan with insurors, like the car insurance industry.

    Buffett suggests higher taxes for super rich

    I think many in the financial world, and otherwise, would consider Warren Buffett to be a pretty good judge of economics, and money...some here seem to think differently than he does, or at least promote a different opinion.

    Cheney tells agency that Vice President's office is not part of the executive branch

    Are you fvcking kidding me?!? The office of the second in command of this government is "not an entity within the executive branch?!?" So, I'm guessing that means Dick Cheney cannot act on behalf of the executive branch in any kind of official role?!? I swear to allah...you just cannot make this...

    Reaganomics: A Grand, Failed Experiment

    Here's kind of an interesting article. I kind of breezed through it, and want to give it more time to review.

    The Biggest Scam in the World

    Another example of how the ultra-wealthy and big corporations avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden - and they are supposedly paying too much? - Whatever...:rolleyes: I guess collecting money from the lower 40% of income earners is more important in some people's minds on this site...

    Prison for Libby in Leak Case

    No big deal to some...I'm satisfied that the former Chief of Staff to Dick Cheney was convicted of lying and obstructing justice, and was sentenced strongly - for overwhelming guilt.

    Wondering if I can get a straight answer out of you guys on this. We'll see. Do you think the majority of the American people want the troops out of Iraq? Let's say in the next year, for arguments sake, or at least by election time in '08? If not, fine, explain why? If so, do you think...

    Bush could double force by Christmas

    Sure, let's continue to give him the benefit of the doubt, right, Weasel? Give the surge a chance, right? Are you for - or against - an eternal surge, or several surges, or just this one surge, or what? You said give this surge a chance. Looks like they are already heading to Plan B, to me...

    Congratulations to the Democrats on getting something done on Immigration

    :tongue Just thought I'd be first to stake claim to this milestone victory for the "Get-it-Done" legislators. Wayne is always asking what have they done, why haven't they done this or that... They got something done on immigration reform in FOUR MONTHS that the republicans - WITH THE WHITE...

    The real ramifications at home from the war in Iraq

    See, righties...these are some of the REAL issues Americans are facing, both now and into the future, thanks the decisions made by this administration. Maybe someday Wayne and Weasel will try to defend this - or at least accept some responsibility for it - in a manner other than completely...
