Damn! Until 2001, this country had a surplus. Now our debt is growing by leaps and bounds. What changed? The bursting of the dot.com / Nasdaq bubble along with a general market decline. 9/11. Katrina. A large increase in government spending (which includes Iraq, but is mostly for other things besides Iraq). As for tax cuts see Message 22470737; Oh stop.........your childlike excuses for why we are in financial hot water is just another example of how ideologues avoid facing the truth. You, your president and your congress are responsible for the debt chaos.......no one else. "It is more reasonable to divide the deficit up proportionately among the various spending categories. Measured that way the war in Iraq only causes a small portion of our deficit." No it isn't. I refuse to agree to what accommodates your dangerous ideology. Yes, any spending increases you don't like get 100% counted as increasing the deficits, any spending increase you do like don't get counted. That makes a lot of sense... Well maybe it does, as a rhetorical device if you can convince people to buy it but it doesn't make any logical sense. Again, I repeat to you......the political and economic ideology of certain members of the right and its penchant for self serving nonsense is dangerous. That ideology has been in charge of this country for way too long. Today, we had more evidence that your America......the one that you and your cohort believe is superior in almost every way...no longer exists.....if it ever did. The Army Corp of Engineers released a 6k page document indicating that they were as much responsible for the damage in NO as Hurricane Katrina. Its stunning that even they are not immune to the corruption and incompetence that is sweeping this nation. A Constitutional Congress needs to be convened asap that leads to the revamping of this country's values, the quality of its governance and the integrity of its belief system. It won't happen but that doesn't mean I have to make believe the right's misguided ideology has any legitimacy.
