 Maybe we should just start referring to the Iraqi people as being on "welfare", and that will shift some of the conservatives' position on the whole issue...
After all, why should I support the Iraqi people who aren't paying taxes and seem unable to support/sustain their own government...

Anyways, there is a "national debt clock" in New York tallying up our debt... http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...b42619f82bb92b Quote:
"When the public debt was rising at the rate it was a decade ago, it was a great idea. But now it just becomes a basis for complacency," said Lou Crandall, who follows Treasury financing at the Wall Street research firm Wrightson & Associates.
Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore has outlined a plan that he says would eliminate the debt by 2012.
Senior economic advisers to Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush agree with the principle of paying down the debt but have not committed to a specific date for eliminating it. | http://archives.cnn.com/2000/US/09/07/debt.clock/#2
Man. I would laugh but at this stage it's just too painful... http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/
Maybe we should "declare war" on our national debt?
Maybe THEN it'll get taken seriously? "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish."
