Explain to me why Obama TRIPLED the number of soldiers in Afghanistan.. I know.. you dont believe me, or the hundreds of thousands of online sources, including whitehouse.gov that says he has..
Ask Bush-Cheney and the Bin Laden family out of Saudi Arabia... There's a lot of mineral wealth in Afganistan...
Go back to college and take an economics (or even reading comprehension) class...no one ever said that. That's ridiculous.
Call me when you send 38% of YOUR income to the FEDS (not to even mention property, city, state, etc), and then you can open your clearly uninformed mouth and jabber about it.
38%?... So what's it going up to now?... according to you...
The Republican party has done an amazing PR job with it's rural voters. They have these people who mostly don't have a college degree and aren't making more than the national income average convinced taxes are killing them. The reality is the barely pay any taxes.
Aren't you the C-D poster that said Obamare, once it passes, will solve the unemployment problem because companies will have more resources for hiring new employees? How's that working out?

When you aren't well educated and aren't intellectually curious and you are bigoted or prejudiced then you become very easy to manipulate. The American Conservative Movement does a better job preying on the fear, hatred, bigotry and ignorance of people than any other political group in America.
A perfect example of this is last night on CNN they had a Conservative campaigning for Joe Miller in Alaska. They asked if she was against health care reform and she said that the states should decide how health care reform should be implemented in each state. Then they asked her about abolishing Medicare and she couldn't give an intelligent answer.

Like in the other thread on this... Think big picture, like those rural Rs. Romer knew. That's why she's no longer with the Obama admin.
Quote:
What the Romers found is that exogenous tax increases, such as will occur with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts, “… are highly contractionary. The effects are strongly significant, highly robust, and much larger than those obtained using broader measures of tax changes.”
Here is a strong argument, based on solid academic research, for extending the Bush tax cuts, and not letting them expire, made by one of President Obama’s top economic advisers.
