>>" Only when you explain that we can't afford all this shit do people say, "Oh, well, I didn't know THAT." "<< When you tell them that there was a budget surplus in 2000 and then Bush took us into our largest deficit and debt ever and tanked the economy, they understand that too. They know darn well the richest country ever can afford to take care of its own and Bush blew our best chance after 9/11 to do it.

Only when you explain that we can't afford all this shit do people say, "Oh, well, I didn't know THAT." The vast majority of people are not that stupid. The issue isn't whether to cut.......its what to cut. Dems want to cut the military budget and those things that benefit mostly corps and non Americans. Rs want to cut what benefits Americans. That is where the disagreement is.
