Or try the combo approach. Threaten to choke a puppy if he doesn't leave you alone.
That could probably be done.
Financial support to Israel is only one small component of our overall foreign aid picture.2. Cut financial support of Israel. I don't know about you, but I've been poked in the eye enough by these idiots. I'm not sure who else is getting big bucks from us.

Why are you singling out Israel? Personal bias?
If you are going to implement means testing then lets just end the fraud of a "social security trust fund" completely. Raise everyones tax rate by 8% across the board and just pay the "needy" when they get old. Tell the ones that scrimped and saved for retirement to off, they should have blown their money while they had the chance.3. Implement a SS tax above the Social Security Wage Base. Implement means-testing.
The question is where exactly do you draw the line? I agree some of the extreme life extending stuff (usually done because the family demands it) is obscene, but are you going to deny a diabetic dialysis because they can't be cured? The problem is, who is going to play god and decide?4. Implement evidence-based medicine and transparent medical costs. For the enormous costs at the end of life, pay for cures but not for death.
I have no problem with this, but we eventually run out of sin taxes.5. Legalize and tax drugs. Start with marijuana. Try it for 5-10 years and think about what to do next when we find out that the world did not end.
Then again, with at udes like yours, maybe we won't run ever out of sin taxes. What next?6. Tax unhealthy food, a fat-added tax and a sugar-added tax and a salt-added tax.
The idea that you can spend tax dollars/credits to fundamentally change behavior is the at ude that got us in this ed up mess to start with. Any time the Federal government takes in X amount in taxes they never pay back the full X. They always skim their cream off the top and play politics with the rest. Before you know it, they are allocating those job credits only to their "approved" jobs...The economy is better off if the Feds never took X in the first place.7. Too bad for Bush's tax cuts. I would target any tax breaks directly toward businesses that provide US jobs at decent wages. You get up to 1 credit for each US citizen/legal immigrant you employ, from some fraction for minimum wage to the whole credit for a wage equal to median household income (about $50,000/year).

good one...Or try the combo approach. Threaten to choke a puppy if he doesn't leave you alone.
"Stop licking me puppy, or its the sleeper!"
And Parker was trying to arrange a Political forum GTG? Having choke-down fantasies are we?
It's for your own good, CC.
Plus, it's a public service. (Allegedly.)

I agree with everything but #6, assuming you just mean standard sales tax and not an extra sin tax on weed and the rest of the bad drugs that are illegal currently.
Interesting. You must have really felt isolated and alone in that generally conservative culture.
I dont fit in many groups actually. I make a habit of questioning the prevailing school of thought.
But I forged some lifelong friendships there.
and after working 20-30 executions under bush i came to oppose the death penalty. youre right, most of my co-workers tended to mock the protesters, and at the time even i tended to think that they were extremists, but i still didnt agree with the law.
but i respected bush for letting the judiciary do their job, and when he first ran, i thought he might make a decent president if at least he would respect the seperation of powers.
BOY WAS I WRONG! that power grabbing mofo
Why do you worry about the rest, since America is a fraud, twerp?
what a .
And there you have it. The resident Communist has proven his factoid.The Repug lie is that the deficit is due Magic Negro's spending.
The truth is that the deficit is almost completely on the Repugs, conservative/free market bull , neo-c*nt botched wars.

Now we know why Obama got in office.
It is all Bush fault, along with Republicans. Good lord, no wonder we
are in trouble. Under-educated idiots.
girlfriend not giving it up or what?
You have a problem with calling a dumb Communist a twerp. I don't!
Parker 2112 is like most of his elk, a fraud and cant do much else than put false words
into someone else mouth.
Please partake of a aeronautical intercourse at revolving pastry.
Take your time, you will figure it out. Maybe.

Hey Sport, How's it going in the fire capital of the world. Hope everything
is going well with you and you aren't choked down with all the wildfires.
Hey maybe you can get Putin to come over and direct the fire fighting
effort in your part of the world......
How's the kids?
Did you actually look at that thing you linked?
Israel is right behind Iraq and Afghanistan, where we are pouring money for obvious reasons. Heck, Israel gets more money than what the US gives the entire Western Hemisphere combined.
What for exactly?
I don't necessarily agree about cutting all the aid, but if you're going to trim in that area, Israel should get a sizeable cut.
