Concerned Citizen, You Stupid Piece of Sh__, What part of communist Cuba do you not understand? If you can not trade with a country because it is communist then how can you justify trading with another (China) that is just as communist if not more? Obviously, I understand a lot more then you!

There is a cost to the war. No one is pretending there is not.

Only crybaby liberals want to withdraw because the price is too painful. Most of you don’t make the money to pay taxes anyway so what’s your problem?

CapnAmerica is a fine example. He whines all day and night – because he wants MORE for HIM. Selfish.

Give me a break, if anybody out there thinks that this war is going to make the world a safer place then I have some land for sale. The war in Iraq has accomplished one thing that the President can claim, getting rid of Saddam H. That was something that Iran tried and was unsuccessful at doing. To that extent, Iran, says THANK YOU, BUSH. As far as establishing a Democracy, Iran again says thanks President Bush we will establish our version not yours. This war has cost way to much money but more importantly it has cost too many of our kids that are our future. ECON 101, what the hell does Libya have to do with the cost of the war in Iraq? If you are so wrapped up in the benefits of this war then look at where the money is coming from, CHINA. What part of communist RED China do you and King George II not understand?

Number of confirmed American deaths as of Feb 28th: 3973.

Number of caskets seen on American TV: 0.

Bush-Cheney pretending the war isn’t costing anything: priceless.

J R–

I think you hit the nail right on the head.

Massive, insurmountable debt is the plan.

That way, government for the social good will have proven to have “failed,” and we can just scrap the whole thing and let the corporatocracy rape and pillage without further hindrance.

Not on my watch, it won’t.

Come the revolution, the first shall be last.

Correct, J R, the “death” tax is a pretty huge joke, that effects a very small percentage of U.S. taxpayers. That tax should stay in effect.

Capital gains tax, ditto – same reason.

The repeal of the estate or “death tax” is going to have to go too. As is the repeal of the capital gains tax.

A nation with swelling debt cannot continue to allow the accumulation/ distribution of wealth to those who already have and make more money.

We will have to have a little socialism. Elsewhise we will have a population that demands a lot of it.

Our foreign entanglements for wealthy interests must also end. As there will be a diminishing population that sees any personal stake in them.

Isn’t it interesting that we’re seeing the signs of stagflation, just like we did in the wake of the Vietnam Adventure?

Paying off debt, is not necessarily a clarion for class warfare; at least I hope. If it is, we are all f>cked.

A first step is letting the Bush tax cuts on the richest American expire. The top 1% of taxpayers got a reduction of 50% rate to 35%. Sorry guys, we found another pizza – you will pay more. AMT stays in effect – Sorry, Max, – if I had to pay it, I’d be pissed, too.

Letting the Bush madness expire, and ending the war in Iraq will not be enough to get us out of the mess we are in. Eliminating all waste and fraud in Gov’t spending will not be enough.

We will all have to make sacrifices. Our children and grandchildren deserve nothing less.

“We all have to pay for this ”

Yup.

And I don’t think it was an accident. I think it was planned.

It was a strategy. Oh not by bush. He’s a face man. A cardboard cutout.

The idea is to bury the country in such debt that ANY and I mean any domestic social spending gets cut. Insurance of the general welfare is already long gone. SCHIPS is gone too.

Next? The right, if they can, will tell us that “Well, social security was a nice idea. But we just can’t afford it anymore.” The same will go for medicare, medicaid and any other domestic social spending.

They have mortgaged our future on war and subsidies for big business. Now? They’ll tell us it is not right to saddle the kids with the debt. And they will TRY to take away all domestic social entitlments to pay the bill. Given the age divide in America as more and more Americans live off of investments dependent for profit on the outsource of American labor, they may succeed. They have so far.

Abraham Lincoln said “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

Well, we’ll see.

President G.W. Bush contributed more to the national debt than all prior presidents combined.

Getting out of this problem will not be simple.

Some thoughts on the above:
