Why does the government need more and more and more funding year after year?
Because the liberals want it to actually provide useful services.
The conservatards, OTOH, bleed the coffers dry with things like the War on Drugs, incarcerating 1% of the population, and military adventures in Middle Eastern pestholes that aren’t worth a single cent. Personally, I’d be all for the people responsible for Iraq II being locked up for treason and perjury.
And yes, I realize that SD’s economy is heavily based on the military.[/quote]
Clinton took us to Bosnia. Kennedy did Bay of Pigs, and arguably started us in Vietnam. History man, history! Know it, don’t make it up.
Also, keep in mind Hillary Clinton as Senator was pretty adamant that something had to be done about Hussein. How could that be, in your simplified worldview?[/quote]
KSM: Shit, why not back up further and reference FDR in WWII and Truman in Korea (and finishing WWII as well.)
JFK did indeed put us on the road to full-fledged involvement in Vietnam, and LBJ expanded both military and intelligence operations there, culminating in 500,000 Americans in Vietnam at the height of operations.
Clinton was heavily invested in the anti-Hussein push, including the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Operation Desert Fox and a sustained embargo that killed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children. Other than that, he was a real humanitarian.
