All the media bull about the deficit coming down because of tax revenue increase from lower rates -

MSM feels no shame.

[angrycarpenter]

1. Those numbers are so large that they lose all meaning

Until you add them up and it equals no future for our grandchildren. What is that worth?

[papau]

4. I would be reacting poorly but the meds have kicked it so I am spared thinking about my grandkids

getting screwed by Bush - at least until tomorrow.

[PDJane]

2. I'd like to point out that

at leaast this administration has no intention of paying back any of that money.

It's all just paper to them.

[opihimoimoi]

3. Them fuckers got theirs and its a big Fuck Off to anyone else ....

[yourout]

5. Bottom line........Until we are out of Iraq were are screwed financially.

There is no way to balance the budget with 5 billion a month going to the war.

[katsy]

6. The media is just another corporate conglomerate.

It's not to corporate's advantage to investigate.

The gop, however, has great potential in dismantling FDR's New Deal.

IMO, bushco* intended to bankrupt the country while enriching their cronies. And he's made great headway to achieving this goal.

Buh-bye social safety nets, hello corporate welfare, and then on to other countries to rape and pillage.
