You know, maybe Bush should do what I do when my debt load gets too high...sign up for another credit card and transfer the balance...sometimes you get cool pens when you sign up...g-d knows this country needs pens...

ugh....

Man...I could do a lot of damnage with an $800 billion increase on my credit cards.

First thing I would do - make a G rated sequel to SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS

Second thing I would do - subscribe to both XM AND Sirius.

What the hell happened to the Republican party standing for "limited government"?

[Furtherman]

All the limitations will be placed on us.

Actually, the 4th thing I would do (right after hiring Bono to sing for me wherever I go) is to have a Hummer parked outside my apartment building, already running - just in case I need to make a quick getaway.

That hasn't been true for a while now. Neither Bush has been for small government.

an $800 billion increase


for large numbers, my lesson used to include a variation on the following.

How big is a million, and a billion? A way to compare:

1,000,000 seconds. Thats somehing we can grasp. Fine how long is 1 million seconds? About 11 days. No problem; thats a million. In 11 days, you got a million seconds to play around.

Now a billion. A lot more, yes? How long is a Billion seconds?

Over 30 Years.

Shows quite a difference, yes? Well, 800 billion approaches a Trillion, which in seconds?

Over 30,000 Years.

I would immediately have my entry music and pyro set up every time I enter someplace. I might also have a titantron set up behind me...no, that would just be silly...

I'm about to turn it up a notch!

Great way of putting it Mike.

Someone had to first tell Bush that a "gigawatt" wasn't a number before they hashed this out.

This seemed to fit well here:

The disappearing dollar

Dec 2nd 2004
From The Economist print edition


How long can it remain the world's most important reserve currency? (http://economist.com/opinion/PrinterFriendly.cfm?Story_ID=3446249)

I'm sorry but they're right. Bush is spending too much money. I understand we're in a war, but when in a war, the government is supposed to issue bonds or raise taxes (which none of us want) in order to pay for the war. I haven't seen spending like this since LBJ, who spent and spent on vietnam, never prepared and plunged us into a deep recession. the same is coming.

Bush is not a conservative, certainly not a fiscal conservative. Did Reagan spend money, sure he did. but he also cut spending in other ways to support the programs he wanted. I work for DHS, I see the wastefull directionless spending and it makes me worried and sick.

But there's still time to turn it around.

Mr. Courage, it's just all talk.

Always has been.

Remember Ronald "Dutch" Reagan promising in the 1980 campaign to balance the budget in two years?
None of his proposed budgets would have done that.

The fact of the matter is, the Republican Party has increasingly loaded us down with big, bloated, intrusive federal beaurocracy for the past 24 years.

On top of that, they have been about as fiscally responsible as a drunken 15 year-old in the mall with his first credit card.

Oh sure, they've got that rap down good about being fiscally conservative.

LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! LIARS!

Well, at least it looks like they've learned their lesson......... (http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/12/06/social.security.reform/index.html)

Some estimates say diverting Social Security money for private accounts could cost between $1 trillion and $2 trillion over 10 years.

The White House has ruled out paying for it with tax increases, and says that borrowing now is more economically responsible than not addressing problems in the program that could make it insolvent.

Anyone who acts surprised gets a bullet through their skull.
