Marion, I appreciate your responding to my request, but the idea that Obama has the requisite experience to understand which programs work and which don’t is wishful thinking is it not? Also, it’s been correctly pointed out that there isn’t enough money in the till to fund them anyway.[/quote]
Isn’t that what advisors are for? hehe. Seriously, how hard can it be? What makes you think McCain can do any better in this area?
Aecetia, I’m not really vilifying my fellow tax payers as much as I’m vilifying the selfish and the greedy which would include powerful, monied republicans.
I know that there are hard-working republicans like yourself Aecetia that want to keep your money in your pocket. I understand that too well. But, there has to be priorities people. I’m not advocating the misuse of funds on badly run programs, but we need to help those less fortunate than ourselves. We need a national health care system and if that’s going to make my fellow taxpayers suffer a little, like myself, so be it.
Are we suppose to just step over the homeless, crazy lady in the street? Not our problem? And I don’t care about the war. There won’t be any dire consequences if we leave now. Anybody disagree, throw it at me. The reason we are there is because that fucker-we all know who that is-lied about there being “weapons of mass destruction”. So, come on people, what dire consequences will there be if we leave now?
It’s the biggest waste of money in the last eight years.
