You’re exactly right. Trying to justify and rationalize like that must be exhausting. I guess that’s why they see themselves as such deep thinkers.

Thats funny, dont care who you are.

Just take this last item: In the last two years we have accumulated national debt at a rate more than 27 times as fast as during the rest of our entire nation’s history. Over 27 times as fast. Metaphorically speaking, if you are driving in the right lane doing 65 MPH and a car rockets past you in the left lane27 times faster, it would be doing 1,755 MPH!

I read this weekend that the great debt deal of 2011 is like having a $50,000 credit card bill and celebrating that your monthly phone bill went from $40 to $30.
