No, Reagan proved that cutting taxes greatly increased the revenue to the Federal government. The Democrats in Congress and the Senate proved then as they are now that no amount of revenue is enough, they will gleefully spend it all and borrow the rest. Do you realize your heros in DC are now borrowing .50 cents of every dollar they are spending. Truly insane.

Did you know that if you took the 165 million dollars in bonuses paid to AIG executives and divided that by the 306,077,003 people in the United States it would come out to 54 cents per person? It is not that this is an insignificant amount, but it helps to use this figure in comparison to the 9.3 trillion dollars in deficit that Obama is requesting to start up all his social programs. You see, that 9.3 trillion divided by the 306,077,033 people in the United States comes out to a staggering $30,384.51 per person. People were threatening the lives of the AIG executives over 54 cents, but, they don’t blink an eye at the madness of what Obama is suggesting. Just for a second I would ask everyone to consider that perhaps our country is not being guided by an enlightened messiah, but perhaps is being led by a maniacal madman. I know that these are harsh words, but it has happened to countries before. Simply because this man speaks with a flowing lyrical rhetoric instead of pounding his shoe on a podium in a military uniform does not make him any less dangerous. When a man becomes consumed with his self aggrandizement, he can unwittingly lead a country to its utter destruction; and, yes it can happen in the United States.

..."The problem is that liberals are not only nuts, but inconsistent. They very much want to send our military to Africa to stop the savagery in the Sudan, but didn't want to see it employed against the equally barbaric Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh. Funny how you never hear them insist that we have no business in Darfur because Sudan didn't attack us on 9/11 or point out that we have no compelling interest in sub-Sahara Africa. But that's to be expected when people get their information from Bill Maher and Jon Stewart and their talking points from the likes of Bono and the Dixie Chicks. "... The straight poop on Islam Bert Prelutsky August 19, 2009 wnd.com I suspect that because George Bush and Condoleezza Rice were so respectful of Muslims, constantly telling us that theirs is a religion of peace, some otherwise sensible Americans actually began to believe it. Now we have a president who not only kowtows to a Saudi prince, but carries on as if Israeli homes are more threatening than Iranian nukes. What is wrong with our leaders? Are they worried that they won't be invited to those cool Ramadan parties? The Islamics have been actively at war with us for 30 years and generally at war with Western Civilization for well over a thousand years, and still we pay lip service to these people in a way we never did with Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan or the Soviet Union. Is it because the Muslims commit sadism and murder in the name of religion and not country? If anything, I would think that would make their evil acts all the more contemptible. Still, I would contend that Hezbollah and al-Qaida are not as dangerous as America's liberals. The Islamic terrorists can only kill so many people, but those on the left are doing everything in their power to eviscerate America. Cap-and-trade can destroy our industrial might; Obama's trillion-dollar stimulus programs combined with his delusional health care plan will not only bankrupt our nation, but lead inevitably to a rate of inflation that will impress even Jimmy Carter; and the budget cuts directed at our military and our missile defense system will make us increasingly vulnerable to our various enemies. The problem is that liberals are not only nuts, but inconsistent. They very much want to send our military to Africa to stop the savagery in the Sudan, but didn't want to see it employed against the equally barbaric Saddam Hussein, Pol Pot or Ho Chi Minh. Funny how you never hear them insist that we have no business in Darfur because Sudan didn't attack us on 9/11 or point out that we have no compelling interest in sub-Sahara Africa. But that's to be expected when people get their information from Bill Maher and Jon Stewart and their talking points from the likes of Bono and the Dixie Chicks. Clearly, the left wants America to be a toothless tiger, rather like the U.N. What they fail to grasp is that as America goes, so goes freedom everywhere. Or perhaps they think the French will do a better job of policing the world. The French, alas, can't even police Paris. Speaking of liberals, the irony is that so many of them who never believed God even existed are now convinced that He is alive and well and going out on date nights with Michelle. Getting back to Muslims, there are people who would insist that we should distinguish between those who cut off the heads of their innocent victims and those who, rumor has it, just want to live and let live. Well, I keep trying, heaven knows, but it's not as easy as it sounds. For instance, recently I read about a stomach-turning incident that took place in Phoenix, Ariz. It seems that four boys between the ages of nine and 14 lured an eight-year-old girl into a shed and took turns raping her. While that was pretty damn loathsome, what was even more disgusting is what took place afterward. In the little girl's presence, her father, a Muslim refugee from Liberia, told the police, "Take her. I don't want her." It seems that in what passes for their culture, the child had brought shame on the family. Now, I understand that any country that keeps electing people like Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Barbara Boxer and Barack Obama, the killer B's as it were, doesn't have terribly high standards, but assuming we have any at all, will someone please explain why we're allowing these degenerates into the country?
