no, but that doesn't mean we don't owe money just because we don't exactly when each bill is paid off.

Is that a counter argument?

All wars have been funded by borrowing.

what do you think this proves?

Is that a counter argument? In any event at times it is important to keep taxes low if only to stimulate the production of guns, or to maintain a chronically inefficient economy.

this is the only time in american history where we are fighting two wars on top of tax cuts

Reid and Pelosi forced the Bush Admin to refund taxes to the the tune of $167 billion. Why?

and the bush administration and cronies have been running record deficits and basically more than doubled the national debt (owed by all citizens).

Are you saying that the House doesn't control government spending? The 'crat controlled House created and approved everything Bush requested. Bush had to swallow a lot of idiot 'crat spending he did not want. Why do you conveniently sweep those truths under the rug?

iow, the bushevics have piled on more debt in 8 years than americans had piled on in the previous 224 years.

Are you saying that HEW spending declined?

The Iraq war saved the planet.

from too much sand?

Saved you from execution for being a weakling. If Al Qaeda won, you'd be first to go. Better learn history.

THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY WMD!

They had the will to get them, and that's what constitutes sufficient cause to intervene.

hello?!?

Yes. In spite of 5,000 years of world history showing that evil must be forcefully confronted, for some unbelievably naive reason you believe you should hide and hope the evil goes away. You would be the first to be executed, by your own people. History teaches that too, but you're too ignorant to have studied or comprehended any history.

btw, we *still* haven't caught bin laden and terrorism has gone up since the war in iraq

Where has it gone up?

- just look at how many attacks have been made in europe.

How do you know the attacks haven't been led by health care protesters seeking to rid themselves of compulsion?

actually, the tax cuts was a major reason we are facing a depression.

If the productive class gets more money, less production follows?

too much money in the hands of too few caused them to make stupid investments, which is at the core of the fiscal meltdown.

I thought the subject was tax cuts. Tax cuts didn't put more money in the hands of lenders. That was FED's monetary policy.
Most lenders don't want tax cuts. They aren't producers. They only produce debt.

low tax rates made it very enticing to gamble entire companies on a couple nice pay days... even if that meant leverage 35-1 as lehman did.

Nothing to do with tax cuts.

The US didn't wage war against Iraq.

do you think iraq was involved with bin laden?

I think that had the US not invaded Iraq, Iraq would have degenerated into another Afghanistan, and another Taliban like force would taken it over and used it and its oil wealth to launch new attacks against all countries. Don't you learn from history?

the bushevics don't even believe that.

Since you don't know what they believe, how could you make such a claim?

The US has already won the Iraq war.

yes, we stopped the throwing of sand across the border. aren't we special?

Yes, we are. We have managed to significantly thwart a tremendous enemy, and over the traitorous attempt by the 'crats to snatch defeat out of the hands of victory.
