OK the facts are clear, tax REVENUES are UP - the tax cuts worked on the revenue side. Tax revenues keep increasing at a double digit clip while inflation is about 2.5%. Tax revenues keep increasing faster than anyone on either side expects. The CBPP says "of course revenues go up in a recovery" but the recovery is continuing well after a record-long series of overnight interest rate hikes, meaning it's fueled in large part by the tax cuts.

The problem is on the SPENDING side. And YES, BUSH HAS SPENT TOO MUCH AND IS STILL SPENDING TOO MUCH.

But you can't make that argument and then turn around and try to spend MORE than HE does!!!!!

We have the power in our respective countries to control government but the apathy allows these corporately dominated groups to attain power...we fear that we will lose if we don't follow the plan given us but in reality we lose more in the short and long term...and in the UK and the US and now Canada we lose the lives of our young and our best.

and use up a huge portion of the welfare system??

Whites use almost TWICE as much as hispanics do and so do african americans. . .

I guess it's just another myth they just can't let go of. . .

Please don't tell me to ask a recruiter because I've been there and have done that, he handed me a book to look through. Also, both listed under mechanics, but ones civil engineering, and the other "fuel" is just under maintenance. What could be the difference? So.. Feel free to answer. Thank You! :)

he has claimed to have not had any involvement with?

Example: not allowing former White House Political Director Sara Taylor and former White House Council Harriet Meyers to testify on matters that Bush has claimed to not be involved with.

It comes off as he is either lying about his involvement or he is obstructing justice or both.

My opinion on the Iraq "conflict"
I am not saying surrender, after all who do you surrender to, I take this very seriously. I think that most people do not understand the situation and what it is doing to America on the world stage. This is not a war with a clearly defined enemy or objective, it is an occupation of political ambition and people are being lost (forever), what I am trying to say is this is not a conflict that is protecting anyone, it is actually causing a thought pattern in the world that will create more animosity towards Americans in general, ie: more new generation terrorists!

To restore honor and dignity to the White House?

We can do better in Washington D.C. We can have new leadership in Washington D.C., leadership that will lift this country's spirits and raise our sights. George P. knows what thousands of other youngsters know, that just because the White House has let us down in the past, that doesn't mean it's going to happen in the future. George P. joins us in a campaign that's going to restore honor and dignity to the White House.

We could just lay on our a ss, guzzling beer, feeling sorry for each other and smoking our joints as we wait for our gov. checks and food stamps to arrive.
What a party we'll have while we dream of the days before the attacks and riots, when our pants were dry, and we didn't have to climb over the rubble of our cities.
