Reagan insider: 'GOP destroyed U.S. economy'

War/defense/security is an element of the fiasco, but it is just an element. It doesn't carry all the freight you want it to, still less does it carry your argument over the finish line.

ALL CAPS don't lend any credence to your exaggeration either. Sorry.

that argument/all caps is aimed at the last bastion of big spending...the conservative right.


I dont address the far left or those who believe that we can still afford big spending on social programs. THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL FOR THAT PURPOSE. The grim outlook and shaky consumer confidence will take care of that.

I address those that still think the disasterous spending is necessary to protect our shores. If thats not you then dont concern yourself with my choice of case.

the countries debt problems were already in place before the irag war
to say irag war caused the debt problem sorely is stupid and retarted

Naive. The public won't sit still for cuts in services, and politicians don't have the guts to make them. The social pain will be enormous, as will be the political backlash. Nothing about it will be easy, much less occur automatically, as you seem to suggest.

I call strikes and balls winehole. if you dont know anything else about me, know that.
