Roterhead, apparently, your reading skills are as deficient as Bush's. My question: what is the Republican Party's plan for dealing with the bills for the War in Iraq?

Picture a large funnel that feeds into the Haliburton-Bechtel_Carlisle Corp. coffers, and all that money dropping into it, with less than 25% of your taxes going to run all other government projects.

Continued theft is what the GOP plans.

FINISH THE JOB FIRST. Why dont you go to wikipedia and reserch national debt. It may confuse your simple mind a bit to see that China's expendature vs GPD is a point higher then ours. Whats that mean? China has a more unbalanced budget then we do. We also have a debt/gdp a little more then half that of Japans.

And the deficits and spending will be improved with the Dems voting for nationalized health care? No, it will become increasingly worse, geometrically.

And increasing taxes will improve the economy and increase long term revenue? No, it won't.

No nation has ever spent its way to growth and prosperity.

That is a very good question:

The War in Iraq Costs $456,222,669,314

Meanwhile the infrastructure of the United States is falling apart. Look at the city of New Orleans, it still has not been repaired following Hurricane Katrina.

Look at our schools, many of them are in bad shape.

Look at our drinking water

Look at the roads and bridges around the country.

I would rather my tax dollars go toward making the United States better, then for wasting billions of dollars on an unwinable war.

I'd like to see more proof that's the actually cost. Any jackass, sorry.... any democrat and put a running clock on a website. Let's get some unbiased group involved to look at the real numbers.

To bankrupt our nation. All the thumbs down on me. Don't you people realize that Mexico, Canada and the U.S. are going to become the North American Union?

Now, here is the kicker. We will have a new currency that will probably be called the Amero.
