        For people who do not have cable or satellite television, public television is a good source for children's entertainment and education when watching television.

          Teaching children common values irrespective of political ideology is not "liberal slush funds" you ******.

            And that's funny for two reasons, not just because MrFun is ballsy enough to throw around the word ******.

              You first claim his point as irrelevant although it is an important component to the issue. Then when you finally relent to address it, you bring up an irrelevant issue. You're not here for a serious discussion, are you?

                I think it would be better if we just made more money. Why don't we just do that?

                  The NRO's Kevin Williamson actually addresses all of the assertions made by "Big Mike" of Move On.

                  Link:



                  E.g.
                  Bank bailouts: the taxpayer profited from them--i.e. they made more money from the 'bailout' than they did on spending on it

                  Here's a good summary:

                  Our deficit is running around $1.6 trillion. If we took all military spending — not just the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but the whole shebang — and cut it to $0.00, we’d save about $664 billion a year. Iraq and Afghanistan will cost about $170 billion combined in FY2011. Ending the Bush tax cuts for “the rich” — for the $250,000-and-up crowd, in Obama’s formulation — would put on average about another $80 billion a year into Treasury coffers. (CBO estimates the ten-year cost of those tax cuts at $800 billion.) The spending on the wars and the forgone revenue from the Bush tax cuts do not add up to much of that $1.6 trillion deficit: a little less than 16 percent.
                  "You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."--General Sir Charles James Napier

                    this is not a view shared by many respected economists. read the testimony to the TARP oversight committee for example. the way he glosses over the whole issue is also ridiculous. it's a political hit piece which only an idiot would confuse with a serious analysis.

                        This is how I judge websites now. I let Adsense tell me what they are about. I can only presume the article is about the coming apocalypse brought on by Islamisists and Evilutionists and how you can build a bunker full of gold and guns to weather the storm.
