Fri 6/20/2008 7:58a | Here's a stat: $600 billion. That's the next big milestone on the cost of Iraq thus far, coming up soon.
But we don't want to set a timetable. No, just keep the meter running for, well, as long as it takes.
How anyone can in one breath support this administration and then lecture on the importance of "fiscal responsibility" is beyond ludicrous at this point. |

I showed the stats, in #277. You? Nothing. Just assertions of what you "know" to be true, but is actually only Doug's truthiness with no stats to back it up. As usual.
So show me the stats, please, or stop insisting on something that isn't true.
Oh - that's right. You can't. |

Hence the reason Conservatives have abandoned Bush. The Liberal George Bush has ruined the Conservative Republican lifetime agenda.
Vote Libertarian. |

A lot of them have, but here on these boards, the president has his fans. (Hell, looking at the approval ratings, they may be his last remaining fans, come to think of it.)
But really, you can't blame the non-stop spending only on President Bush. True, he didn't veto a thing, but the house and senate were controlled by the GOP all those years.
That's why this "party of fiscal responsibility" is a lot of blather. They had their chance and they spent just like Democrats (though perhaps on different specific programs).
Many of them want to deny it now, or fling blame on George Bush since he's easy pickings at this point. But the reality is, the GOP is no more or less fiscally responsible than the Democrats. |

And for me, that's the key. I genuinely don't mind if government spends money on programs. I don't mind paying taxes to support those programs. But I'd like those programs to be on things worthwhile, instead of a botched war where thousands of our men and women in uniform lost lives and limbs while George W. Bush got on the job training.
I love John Edwards' speeches on poverty; let's put some money towards that. How about the rebuilding of New Orleans, that should've been our top priority. Instead, we abandoned those people. What the hell kind of a nation abandons and entire city when it needs us?
There's so much we could've been doing. Instead, we've been lining Erik Prince's pockets so he can send his "christian soldiers" in Blackwater to Iraq. |
