This is a reply to a fellow using the SN "Vern" Vern seems to be a decent guy, we just have some political disagreements.
Vern, Foreign Aid is much more than a drop in the bucket. All the money we dole out overseas is obscene epecially when we are drowning in debt. The Stimulus scheme hardly a done deal. The only chance Obama has to get it passed is to buy off Republicans and I don't consider that likely in an election year. Before you trust the public sector with 350 Billion to make it all better, go read Chuck Sheppard's weekly column. He does well outlining the pure greed and incompetance of the public sector. In any event My "assignment" was completed with the above points. We can agree to disagree but I did what I was "asked"
I agree with you about the two wars. I opposed them from the start. We can't be globe cop anymore.
People are gonna have to understand that what they want, and what is are two opposing things. IT's already tough enough out there for those of us who aren't rich and loaded. I do know this, I can't afford tax hikes. You raise taxes on the rich, people like me in the middle class end up paying them. Why don't the public sector take pay cuts to pay down the public debt. After all, it was them who ran up the tab buying votes or dependency. All I got was crummy roads, crummy schools, crummy govcos to deal with, the operative word is crummy. But have it your way, just don't burn down your town when the money runs out.
