and most people who are liberals much prefer to listen to music over talk radio.
I know, it reflects in congress ;D!
From a completely politically-neutral position here - Congress and the WH accomplish more when neither party controls it.
I guess if Congress goes back to the Dems, there can be some conflict again, and DC can start accomplishing things again.
If Congress goes back to the Dems....we're done for!
Oh you mean a 800 billion debt..... is not bad now?
Doesn't even make a dent in the deficit!
Oh so 800 billion wouldn't help anything? It wouldn't help our schools? Law enforcement? Yeah maybe you are right..... let's go another 800 billion becuase it doesn't matter. Great philosophy Mr. I.
If I remember correctly (I don't feel like looking it up right now) alot more went to the public schools than to the war!
the dems probably won't do any better, but at least they won't piss away 800 billion
This is what scares me about the Dems getting in, they will immediatley raise taxes to the hilt while cutting our defenced budget (or attempting too) not exactly a good plan during war time, and if you think we're "pissing" away $800mil to protect our country then your priorities are geared in the wrong place!
They probably won't cut the defense budget but they will raise taxes. Cutting the defense budget would lose votes. raising taxes won't.
You don't think taking more taxes out of peoples pay checks won't make them lose votes? I don't know about you, but I like to keep as much as my hard earned money as I can!
It won't happen at first. And at least when they do raise them they will have something to show for it beisdes a insurgency, more terrorism and a failed war.
I make well over six figures, I get hit with self-employment tax as well as state and federal tax.....I get nailed, I just don't want to f**ked........but I can handle "nailed" LOL!
you and me both...........but i'm self employed and incorperated so it will be like they bought me a drink first before they fucked me! ;D
LMAO......you take your corporate tax breaks don't you, do you pay yourself a regular paycheck and deduct state and fed?

This *IS* the time to cut defense spending. You raise it when scaling up a war, and lower it when scaling down a war. Our kids are going to grow up in a poor, poor nation :(
Raising taxes to recover the debt *IS* a good thing right now. Letting the DOW his 12,000 is not.
Your freaking joking...right??

I just attended a function where our Governor talked about turning a 700 million deficit into a 700 million dollar surplus in four years. A billion dollar turnaround. Incredible. Our unemployment is probably the lowest in the country. Our taxes are still way too high, but she's working on it. All it took was to break the stranglehold liberals had on our state for 50 years.
No doubts about that. Personally i feel there is no need to raise taxes. If we were just to over haul the entire system and take out crap like the 20,000,000 dollars set aside for the iraq victory party, or the gross misappropiation of money in the welfare system, i believe we could so much more with the tax reveue we collect every year then what we are doing with it now.
Now the question is, is your govenor speach the same old "blah blah blah" we heard from politicians for years and you believe it cuase you want to believe it or will she actually do it?
