Can you imagine what we could have done with that money?
We could have paid for our children's Health Care.
We could have repaired our Infrastructure.
We could have cared for homeless Veterans.
We could have fixed Social Security.

...ethanol may not be the magic bullet to curbing global warming nor America's fuel costs. Given the intense use of fertilizers, water, & other resources to convert corn into ethanol, is congress pushing ethanol bills to please their own states? The sharp rise in corn has everything to do with the cost of food as well from pasta to milk.

Shouldn't we lobby congress to invest in solar & wind like the Europeans?

I'm really curious please don't think I'm egging you on. I just haven't really heard what it is that Republicans want other than lower taxes. I don't think anyone running for office wants that so, I ask you. What do you want?

or do they really? Do they just call for elections cause they know they can manipulate them, or simply choose to not acknowledge the legitimately elected if they don't meet their fascist approval?

ok, I'm NOT a bushlover. I just need to know EXACTLY what bad decisions Bush has made.

Bush-bashing has become a sport, but how stupid can he honestly be?

PLEASE give answers that actually answer the question, not just "You're stupid. Bush sucks" type thing.

According to many economists predictions, we are in for some tough economic times over the next 3-4 years. I dont see anyone that is running that I would feel comfortable leading our country. I dont have faith in any of them.

Putting party politics aside, do you share the same sentiments?

and no, "democracy in iraq" doesn't count. it has nothing to do with terrorism.

i'm sure i'll hear the common conservative refrain of "we haven't been attacked since 9/11", so i'll clear a few things up:

1 the last time 3000 americans were killed on american soil was during the war of 1812
2 whether or not the plot is successful is almost insignificant considering the war and the military in iraq is not who foils the plot. the fbi does. in order to gauge whether or not the war is a success, we need to look at the number of plots (whether successful or not), per capita. if you've followed the news you know that the number of plots per year is on the rise.

http://www.treas.gov/press/releases/reports/incomemobilitystudyfinal.pdf

Please look at Table 3 of the linked Treasury Dept study on income mobility. They took a look at the tax returns of people over 25 years old in 1996, and the same people again in 2005. They measured their income group by quintiles, and converted all income into 2005 dollars to factor in inflation.

Here's what the study found:
The poorest 20% had their "real median income" go up by 90% from 1996.. The middle 20% (middle class) had their real median income go up by 23%. The richest 1% had their real median income decrease by 25%.

How can this be? I thought the liberals and mainstream media were telling us the poor are getting poorer while the rich are getting richer? Could they have been wrong?

And please don't blame this on inflation, as I have mentioned, inflation has already been factored in and we are discussing REAL GAINS and LOSSES.

All the sudden he vetoes a spending bill? This is the same guy that wouldn't veto anything while we were breaking all those domestic spending records.

Why does Bush call Democrats fiscally irresponsible when they try to pass spending bills that fund health care and cancer research while he has no problem with spending over a trillion dollars on a needless war?
