"American workers should know two things from Clinton's "Wag the Dog" scenario: First, their Social Security tax went to pay the $10 to $20-billion cost of the war. Second, Congress plans to allocate another $30-billion in aide to rebuild the damage NATO has done to Yugoslavia. Which, to our union friends, means that is enough money to pay 1,112,000 workers a $45,000 package for a year. Or, that is enough money to give every American taxpayer a tax rebate of about $440.00 next year. There are so many red herrings in this Chinese spy mess it smells like an enclosed fish market on a hot summer afternoon, without air-conditioning. And, ultimately, Clinton's malicious "Wag the Dog" excursion in Serbia may not be the most expensive part of it for us. China has 23 huge nukes pointed at our cities. They are also testing submarine-launched nuclear missiles with a range of 5,000 miles, which means that they could easily take out any place in this country. The communist Chinese place no value on life. And, thanks to Clinton & the Democrats, we are sitting ducks for those belligerents. Last week, the Clinton apologists totally lost it in public. Their White House line was to actually defend the administration's negligent actions of providing China the technology to bomb us by saying that "China only has 23 and we have thousands." Truly, that is scraping the bottom of the barrel for arguments. It sounds like the White House excuse factory is on strike. Because they are saying, in effect, that it is OK to give up a few American cities (and a couple million American families) when we know we would ultimately win the war. On this end, that puts those Democrats nearly on par with the communist butchers running China. The most important function of government is the protection of the people. They obviously think government is to help their buddies make money, and to hell with the people. Else, how can they ever justify providing arms to the enemy?"
