1. "No taxation without representation," right? -- so how can we tax our as-yet-to-be-conceived great-

grandchildren to pay our current bills???

2. $170 billion? We can afford it. We have a magic money maker!

We just print more and more of that green stuff! Give a little taste to the consumers (rush out and spend it) and we pay corporate welfare cheats mega bucks in bailouts! 600 dollar checks? No welfare! No sir, it is an indulgence payment. To make the federal government feel better about itself. :sarcasm:

3. Absolutely everything that any opposition says should be turned into this meme.

We ARE enslaving our own children and grandchildren for generations to come. They WILL work harder and longer for LESS, with no domestic economic security and exponentially increasing foreign threats from those who are programed by their cultural imperatives (no matter how many we try to buy off with jobs and other American goodies) to get REVENGE for what we did to millions of innocent Iraqis.
