<<P.S. - This is the part where you accuse me of wanting to gut those two programs.>.

No, this is the part where I wonder why you don't mention the massively over funded defense budget controlled by the military industrial complex.. We could cut it by 75% and be plenty safe.

You guys never mention the defense budget-------GW doubled it and also put the two wars off budget and cut taxes during a time of war. Something no president has ever done.

Why don't you talk about that. It seems germain to the discussion.

Or the giveaways to the large corporations and rich.

Or the recognition of just how deep the depression was GW caused. He damn near destroyed the world financial system. The stimulus needed to be three times as large and none of it should have been tax cuts except payroll.

You do not have the facts or logic on your side of this argument.

Try again.
