that's because he never bothered to come up with an avatar. Any way, official deficits are always a lie. They don't take into account supplimentary spending bills.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

It's debt-based growth. When government spends wildly, there's lots of loose money floating around, fueling short-term growth. When Bush started, the federal debt was around 60% of the GDP. Lots of playing room to rack up debt without dramatic consequences, altough all debt is is basically a short-term stimulus in expense of a long-term decline. It doesn't really make sense to upkeep a deficit during an economic upturn, but it certainly does not cause a collapse of the US economy in the immediate future.Last edited by Kidlicious; October 27, 2006, 12:32.I drank beer.

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

Two, I think most people in the know believe that we are in a more dangerous world today because of the loss of stability that the bipolar world created.
Three, the standard of living and length of life have decreased throughout much of the former USSR, so it was hardly a benefit to them. Now they have capitalist insecurity with a murderous thugocracy. Things don't look to get better anytime soon.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
