As the drumbeat for war increases, Republicans need to talk taxes

I hope I make sense with this post.
As the slimy lizard and Richie Rich and Man-on-Dog pound the drum for war we need to somehow remind them - no more wars on on credit.

If they are going to push for war they need to be up front about how it will be paid for. War ain't cheap.
And they need to include the cost of clean up and restoration.

If they think they are just going to cut programs so they can play shoot 'em up, screw them. The poor and middle class have seen their government whittled to the bone. There are no cuts that we can take anymore.
The last Bozo ran up $2 Trillion playing his war. We no longer have the money for that any more.

So if you think we must war, tell us how you will pay for it first. Begin with a hefty surtax on the rich ........................................
