You choose to not remain silent and you did proffer the future and clearly only stupidity of understanding that present had you making such idiotic predictions. The current budget in size to the current GDP and it's growth is breaking nothing and is improving over historical norms. As you have been full of stupidity, it seems today nothing has changed and I expect that continues to proffer your future. The documentation of your stupidity needs no further bookmarks.

"The difference between us is that when I realized I was duped, I saw the neocons for what they are. You continue to see them in a different light, ignoring the reality of their WMD deception." Kevin you may have simply allowed yourself to fall further into the ruse. There should be no doubt that 1) Saddam had interests in developing WMDs. He had already done it and was temporarily under some restraints or his operations would have been going on full bore. 2) He had verbalized his intentions to use whatever resources he could muster to annihilate the USA and had not backed off from that. 3) His conduct on the issue of WMDs was continually deceptive cat and mouse toying around. So we had every reason to believe there was more that we were seeing. He led us down that path. 4) The effects of the sanctions were being whittled apart and it was a matter of time before they would have become totally ineffective. In which case we would have had to face a much more powerful Saddam on his terms. It is also true that we don't know whether or not the new Iraq will turn on us and they could become the next super power. Which is why we should not turn our backs on the issue at this point.
