I'm willing to bet money that McCain would go to war in Iran, were he elected president. Too bad I could never win that bet, because McCain could never win presidency. Hillary could beat him, and Obama could beat him. Sorry, republicans, if you nominate Cain you've lost already... I'm beginning to wonder if the republicans even WANT to win.. maybe they're letting the democrats have a turn at fucking everything up.
About 9/11. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ECONOMY. That's pure propagandist drivel, and you would do well to do away with it.
I totally agree with you about cutting welfare and low income housing, by the way. But imagine if we took the money we saved from that, and DIDN'T spend it on a war. *Gasp* we could even eventually repay our multi-trillion dollar deficit. Once again, you say you want to cut social programs to fund the war, but we are already in DEBT. What's your plan to pull the U.S. out of economic ruin?
I agree with you the national debt is a joke. We could balance the budget if social programs were eliminated and Congress or the President didn't spend the money that was appropriated for social programs. In 2007, that would be a savings of 680 billion dollars, according to federal budget dot com.(can't post web addresses yet..LOL)
As far as 9/11 having no apparent effect on the economy is a joke. If nothing else it had a temporary effect on the travel, tourism and other related sectors in the economy. Who knows if that temporary effect had an effect on our current economic downturn? My point from my previous post was that our economy would drastically suffer if we had another such attack. Because even a negative temporary effect on the economy could send economy into a long term downturn.
