3. Now Iraq
Edited on Thu Nov-06-03 06:36 PM by Cush
nice dig, "Bush signed the 87 billion package for IRaq, more than he spends on any domestic programs"

This will balloon the deficit to 525 billion, mentioned that the TAX Cuts were also responsible.

If the dedicits grows, it won't the the economy rebound

4. ABC
as long as the Productivity gains go up, more workers will be laid off. Less people can now do more.

9. Yes
That's is the major reason they are going up. Moyers hit on that one a few weeks ago. The numbers lie, and they lie all the time.

Look at the numbers on who's paying the taxes. Social Security is not included....but....but...we have a unified budget. There is no locked box. Dems won't mention it because it hurts their arguments; reps won't mention it because it hurts their policies.

We are fucked.

8. It's his own fault
He's the one that signed on to go do what W says, even though you can't really blame him. They probably waved the flag in front of him and guilt tripped him into signing the dotted line

11. yes, but that was CBS entertainment
not the NEWS division.

what I outlined was what was shown tonight.

KKKarl was NOT applauding Dan Rather tonight.

even the guy re-enlisting, in the context of the program, was sad.
