I thhnk you rae really mixed up on what65 the past conseravtive were. They were for small government and againnst foreign involvement. They certainly are not like today liberals who if you look at the current agenda will raise the national debt by triple what Bush left if they get half the programs they want. That will mean disaster for the fact that the money will be owed with interest to foreigners.That is who has bought treasuries notes. People talk about shipping jobs overseas ;this will ship the wealth of the country overseas. The only saving grace is that the foreigners are hurting and most likely wouldn't take on the treasuries but if they did the interest alone would mean much higher taxes for all or less spending on existing programs because the interest will consume so much of the budget.

I am not confused at all. And I can spell. Go back and read what I wrote. As to the rest of it, if you want to be taken seriously, write seriously. Spell correctly. You lost me on sloppiness.

And Jesus Christ, just who do you think holds all our debt? Grrrr.....

what america needs is jobs brought here, not shipped out. our businesses are investing overseas on the backs of american citizens. microsoft is investing 1 billion in china. (boycott microsoft) GM is planning on investing in SAIC in china for china's long-term benefit. we need a think tank of non-economists who have ideas for innovation and how to bring jobs here instead of make work projects, which is just a temporary government transfer of wealth from all taxpayers. that does not create wealth or long-term prospects, especially the infrastructure idea where projects will be handed out like candy to certain government favorites. investing in new forms of energy or improving current forms of energy could certainly be heading in a better direction.

Get with the program! I say we let Darwinism take its course.
I wish someone would bail me out. Ho, ho, ho!
