DR,
re: One thing will get the "surplus" back: A strong economy. Spending has little to do with it.
Spoken like a true liberal democrat!
re: It is self defense, any way you look at it
Come on, you subscribe to some reverse domino theroy? THERE WAS NO THREAT, IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM, FROM IRAQ. Iraq was, is, a crippled country. We spent billions to conquer, and are spending billions to occupy, a country that is no danger to anyone anywhere, except themselves.
re: Also, let's be careful not to mis-state the facts.
I was referencing Mr. Greenspan's comments, he has a bit of credibility. Even you would probably admit that we are much worse off today, wrt the federal budget (and SS), than we were at the end of the Clinton administration.
re: I just think you have a rather naive view of the world.
Just stop listening to Rush. You might think more... (clearly).
