Robbing Americans to Pay for War

[RobDownSouth]

The war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, to name two more.
The war on Christmas not so much.

George W. Bush started his pre-emptive little wars and charged them to the nation's credit card. He effectively put the repayment burden on our children and grandchildren.

you guys have some of the dumbest arguments ever.

Fixed the plagiarism.

So, Mr. Obama have you done since you were handed that credit card?

DUH! What everybody does with a maxed out credit limit. Ask to have it raised. Isn't that what the US government does every time the bureaucracy is threatened with shut down from lack of funds. Pass a new bill to raise borrowing limits?

 

[pointless]

of course we do. we gotta keep lockheed martin happy and nothing makes them happier than dump trucks full of money.

And how do you keep those dump trucks a-rollin'?

Have a needlessly interventionist foreign policy.

 

[pointless]

well, that and buy giving them billions and billions of dollars to build useless shit that barely even works.

Yes. Exactly. No president be he a Republican, Democrat or Whig has ever left office owing less money than when he took office.

Even Newt Gingrich's famous balanced budget (for which Bill Cliton shamelessly takes credit) was all smoke and mirrors. It is assumed that record level revenues would continue from the dot-com bubble which of course burst, leaving the car in the ditch for George Bush to get out.

Yes. Exactly. No president be he a Republican, Democrat or Whig has ever left office owing less money than when he took office.

Except for Calvin Coolidge, who reduced it by 26%.

Cool hand Cal, IMO one of the best POTUS's the US has ever had, would give (R)'s and (D)'s alike total fits of control freak rage.

Just veto everything they do and roll another.

Read up on President Coolidge sometime, he was totally under rated and arguably one of the more unique presidents with regard to governing style. I mean if you care about that kinda shit. Nah never mind you're a lefty, you'd think the guy was Satan incarnate.

 

[phrodeau]

Yeah, it's one of those quotes that might have happened only after Coolidge denied ever saying it.

You could say that about a rather large number of the most famous quotes out there.

Doesn't change the reference AA dropped and I bounced back.

We need space drones to enforce a No Fly Zone over Mars.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

But being robbed to supply food stamps, I mean, yeah...,





That's noble!

Have a military that can show up anywhere in the world to deliver aid in massive quantities?

OH HELLS NO!!!​

Funny you should mention that.
I watched 2010: The Year We Make Contact last night and mainly I was thinking, during the shots of the Leonov was approaching Jupiter, how crazy it was we haven't even established a base on the moon, much less gone to Mars.

Jill Stein robbed money from malnourished old ladies in wheelchairs who can't afford prescription drugs and eat spoiled cat food off a dirt floor, but she'll probably return every cent.

Reduced the budget, or actually paid down the debt?

I always liked his parsonimious bent, but I had no idea he actually retired debt- if that is true.

Our military has shown it is the best in teh world at Breaking Stuff.

But Nation Building? Not so hot.

 

[pointless]

yes, by taxing the rich and letting everyone else ride.

 

[pointless]

of course, a few months after calvin coolidge left office the great depression hit, so... ummm.
