How about we just leave things alone instead of spending $1.2 trillion dollars over the next eight years instead. Holy ****. What a wonder it'd have been if you'd have said that while we were shipping tanks to Iraq. I'd consider you human. In the minds of mustered out old warmongers like tom, military expenditures are always justified, no matter how stupid or misinformed. It also helps them justify their own experiences in their own stupid war, e.g., vietnam. -- If you are flajim, herring, loogy, GC boater, johnson, topbassdog, rob, or one of a half dozen others, you're wasting your time by trying to *communicate* with me through rec.boats, because, well, you are among the permanent members of my dumbfoch dumpster. As always, have a nice, simple-minded day. |

That's why they recently tapped Bill to run Berkshire Hathaway. When the tax cuts were being debated, Warren said that Bush should give $1,000 to a million taxpayers who earn less than (I think it was $100K). He made the point that they'd immediately turn around and put the money back in circulation purchasing hard goods like washers, fridges, cars. Things they needed. Saying further that if the money is given to the top 2%, they'd just throw it in the bank or someplace that'd have no effect on the economy. That's a smart man. Bush and his advisors didn't care. Neither did Bill. |

All you folks who hate your fellow Americans and don't think it's worth the investment have my sympathy. One lone Republican voted for it. 39 Democrats opposed. That ****es me off. Well, it's on to the Senate. I'm sure they'll do something by 2015. ![]() Lets hope they bog it down and 2010 becomes an election issue on the very point. A decision this big needs direct voting on the issue. Hell, if the majority wants government to nationalize health care, so be it. But I suspect when people take the time to read, this is a hidden tax grab. Get the cash flow to the government and then turn down survice levels while they skim the moneys. The polls are very clear in that Americans want health care reform. Haley Barbour was on Meet the Press today insisting the majority of Americans don't want health care reform. I don't know of a single poll, apart from heavy Republican districts, who are against health care reform. Lying straight faced is Republican strong suit. Yes, the people are for health care reform. Or really cheaper healthcare. But do they want the government telling them what services they can have? Oy. Doesn't that happen right now? What makes you think the government is going to deny any more procedures or care than the profit making health care business? The government has never run anything cheaper than private industry. Oh boy, here we go. Isn't most medicare administration done by private industry? And ramming through a "healthcare reform" bill in a short time in the back room and then voting on it less than 3 days later, leads to those ****ED UP laws that the unintended consequences are worse than the cure. The Feds should be working on creating sustainable jobs, cutting spending and curing a depression first. Don't you think keeping people solvent who might otherwise be swamped by medical costs is a good investment? Perhaps it's not the first consideration in getting us back on our economic feet but it's up there. Did President Bush focus only on invading Iraq or was he also working on making the Chinese-funded tax cuts for US rich permanent? jps, you seem to be a one trick pony. Everything is fubar because Bush invaded the Middle East. Ain't so, and until you can come up with resonable debates: kiss my ass! I find it difficult to find one thing that Bush did with actual compassionate results. Perhaps the Africa AIDS program, but even that was messed up. -- Nom=de=Plume I stated that jps believes all the crap is Bush's fault. Everything was perfect before Bush 2. Except We are still spending money in Bosnia, look what a fine place Clinton left Somalia. Bush was not the one who signed the bill to let banks be brokerage houses. Something that had worked well after the 1929 crash. I hope you did better reading on your patent searches. Somalia? That's pretty insignificant in the scheme of things. Bosnia... we did a lot of good there. Do you deny that? It's not all Bush's fault. He just was a significant contributor ... more than anyone else. -- Nom=de=Plume Bush just added to the Clusterf*&k. Somalia, killed a lot of our men for nothing. Bosnia was not our problem, we had no right to interfere. And Albanians and Serbs have been killing each other for 600 years. Let Europe take care of the problem if needed, was their playground. How many billions we waste there? And we are still there. Bush promoted the clusterfk, but ok. Somalia was a mistake, but thousands of our troops didn't die. "any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind"). We saved lives in Bosnia, and it was necessary to "interfere" in ethnic cleansing. We should have intervened in Rwanda and we should intervene in Darfur. Don't forget that WW2 started in the region. -- Nom=de=Plume Why should we interfere in Bosnia because of ethic cleansing? Ruwanda was a lot better place to interfere. Bosnia has had Albanians cleansing Serbs and Serbs cleansing Albanians for centuries. But the Albanians seem to have the upper hand in all the years. They ran death camps for the NAZI and even some of the Germans were grossed out by the gusto that they went about the job. Are we the police department for Europe? Besides the second question (answer is no), I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. We saved lives there. The intervention worked. -- Nom=de=Plume Did we save lives? Maybe. They are still killing Serbs now that Bosnia is non serb. Still not our place to go in. If you argue it is because of ethnic cleansing, then you have to say Iraq is a good war, and we should be there. Saddam was trying to ethnic cleanse Kurds. ?? Did you not listen to the news? Give me a break. Yeah, Saddam was a bad guy, but the justification to attack Iraq was not, as you well know, his human rights abuses. It was all about non-existent WMDs. -- Nom=de=Plume I know what the stated reasons were. But if jps is going to claim Bosnia was a good war because it prevented ethnic cleansing, he then has to claim Iraq is a good war. cruel isn't it. There's no "good" war. There are justifiable wars. The Bosnian war prevented some, but not all ethnic cleansing. There was no such consideration in Iraq. -- Nom=de=Plume It was not a justifiable war. |

Let Europe take care of the problem if needed, was their playground. How many billions we waste there? And we are still there. Please tell us how many billions we've wasted in Bosnia. Then tell us how many billions it takes to make a trillion x 3. Can you say several orders of magnitude? A billion hear a billion there, and you are talking real money. How many billions has Obama overspent in the last 10 months? What's wrong, don't want to answer the question? Facts in context reveal some nasty truths don't they? Bosnia is a drop in the very large bucket that Bush opened up to pay for Iraq. If it does not matter how much Bosnia costs. then you have to ignore the financials of Iraq. Both are wars, and both cost lots of money, and both are places we most likely should have not gone. I realize you are blind in your partisanship. The former was well explained and justified. The latter was based on fabrication. Big diff. -- Nom=de=Plume The former was not really justified. Better PR on it, but was not a place we should have gone. In your opinion. In the opinion of the rest of the world however.... -- Nom=de=Plume Your opinion. Cites? |
