Real World

So you're finally learning something. This is why you can't ever sign your soul to a political party. None of them ever do what they're supposed to. What's worse is that when you start chopping up the pie, and handing out slices, those who didn't want a piece start to look for one. This is why I've maintained that bankruptcy is the only option. Not until the well runs dry will people know that there isn't anything left to drink. People think that our money problem started yesterday, or close to two terms ago. Baaaaaaa..... It reminds me of a great uncle I had who busted his arse everyday and handed his money to his wife. He was a very simple guy who worked as a laborer. When it came time to retire he thought he had a nice nest egg to live on, only to find out that his wife had burnt through it all. Some for some nieces, more for some nephews, etc. Everyone dipped into his cash, except for himself. Needless to say, he didn't know there was a problem until there wasn't any money left.

"The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of doubt, what is laid before him."
Leo Tolstoy, 1897

Well under the rules you can't actually cut the size of gov. WHY?

The biggest items the entitlements are on autopilot. So the yearly increases are built in. IIRC when Gingrich became the majority leader after the pubbie congress was put in place he did pass a budget that froze discretonary spending and actually cut programs. Clinton vetoed the budget and shut the gov down, the MS killed Gingrich and the pubbies folded.

Hey, Shmess-shmess: I just wanted to tell you that I got a real pretty glossy "newsletter" from Congressperson Paul Hodes (D-NH) today. He claims credit for the stimulus package. I think you should call his office and call him a liar, because you know for a fact it was ALL GWB's stimulus package.

Oh yeah, the Congress has really been leading GWB around by the nose. He does evrything they tell him to do.

Please tell me one (1) instance during the 7+ years of the Bush Presidency when Congress forced him to do or sign anything he didn't want to sign.

The Federal Reserve is as federal as FedEx... it's a private company that is allowed to print the money.

Not very many people know that this is true.

But it is...
