I see that your only purpose here is to disrupt and to feel vilified about your PM to me stating that this thread doesn't allow free speech.

What you mistake as lack of free speech here is in fact more of your own unwillingness to face reality. If you followed people willing to truly investigate reality versus what the MSM wants you to hear you might recognize that. If this thread makes you uncomfortable because it's upsetting your world view, for that we're sorry, but the bottom line is that that's your problem to deal with, not ours.

The writer in this article implies that higher taxes are responsible for the deficits, while those of us that have a reality based view of the world recognize that the lower taxes that Bush instituted have increased the treasuries income:

Message 22190837

Also it is debatable that deficits have a negative effect to the country. We've run deficits continually for about 50 years now, and yet we continue to have the strongest employment figures in the world and that against a European economy that also runs deficits, has much higher taxes and a much lower employment figures.

Do you own your home, or do you have a mortgage? I have a 30 year mortgage (i.e. a personnel deficit), without which I would have probably never have bought a house. But because of buying that house, it has actually helped make me become wealthier. I could pay off that house in cash now ( with 20 years left on the mortgage). Deficits are not necessarily bad.

But for you my statement remains:

It's OK to be wrong, it is not OK to stay wrong in the face of overwhelming evidence.

It is my recommendation that wstera ban you from this thread based on the fact there your purpose is to disrupt, not to face reality.
