I really don't understand about Kerry...

"I'll tell you what: France has Wommdies, and is perfectly able to have all your major cities glow in the dark. Does it make France an immediate danger to your country? Nope, simply because we don't intend to use them on you."

Good, we can get in the first strike.

Yes, but there was no indication whatsoever that he intended to use them against the US.

What does this have to do with whether he was complying with UNSC resolutions?

Actually, the US political spectrum in the right center Republicans, the leftist/socialist Dems and the ULTRA LEFT NUTCASE greens.

Tax-Cut and Spend? For the record

The tax cuts are what (along with the historically low interest rates) that have given the US an 8% growth rate.

The shortfalls are because of the recession (Thank you MR Greenspan) and the highest federal tax burden in US History (Thank you MR Clinton).
Add in the 150 billion shelled out in moronic spending from 9-11 by politicians that wanted to feel warm and fuzzy and bail out the airlines from law-suits because the airlines refused to increase security over the years.

The lack of new jobs is because the US is profoundly incapable of negotiating a trade treaty that actually works for the US instead of everyone else.

We have actually created tax code that benefits companies that move operations outside the US!

If you take out the adding money spent on security, well spent or otherwise, the US budget is really fairly well off.

The trick now is to REDUCE spending on pork.

I held my noise when I voted for Bush and I will again.

Actually, it was the child tax credits, and the 8% spurt only lasted one quarter. It doesn't seem to have done much for the Xmas season, and new job offers aren't up either. Unemployment is down, but only because people are reaching the end of their payments without finding work. According to what I've read, for most of us, what tax cuts we've received will be lost because of the alternative minimum tax. I'll know in a little over a week how this is gonna affect me.
