If I was a problem gambler the best thing for me to do would be to quit gambling. If I was an alcoholic, the best thing for me to do would be to quit drinking. If I smoked the best thing for me to do would be to quit smoking.

We do not need to borrow the money. We waste billions every single day. Deal with it.

And according to You, if your roof leaks you don't fix it, do you have idea how ridiculous your arguement sounds. As usual the right wants to play stupid poltical games while Rome burns, why anyone takes you guys serious is anyones guess but you sure as heck should not be running anything.

How do you know? I'd honestly be interested in knowing when this first became a problem.

Of course I never said that you don't fix it. I said that you pay for it. That you are not able to comprehend the basic idea of paying for things you want would be the problem here.

I would imagine one day of not dropping bombs on Afghanistan would pay for it.

Like you, I sweat getting called out just for spelling errors.
Don't sweat it, we knew what you meant to type. Well almost... I thought it was leaning, not leaking. LOL!

Only the agitators will try to get you to bite.
Oh, I don't worry about being called out. I just don't like to appear as an idiot any more than I already do.

Ha. What an obstinate attitude. Should it be fixed, or do you just want to let it collapse?

The budget is leaking profusely.

The Mexican border is leaking profusely.

The White House leaks classified information.

A roof seems low on the list of national priorities.
