Whine, whine, whine. It's all going to rot and the maggots are eating all the hamburger meat.
Cassell shouldn't throw in the towel, he should use it to hang himself.

He's right in that we need to delay/offset/cut spending to pay for Katrina.

It is irresponsible to just tack $200,000,000,000 onto the federal deficit.

Agreed on that. It was tone that irritated me so.

Time tripping? Again?


Er ... uh ... okay Andrew.

But really, what's "the solution"?

The government spend too much. I agree with that. I see three alternatives:

1) Wars are expensive. Let's surrender to the terrorists. Think of the savings.
2) Rebuilding that city where the black people lived is expensive. Let's not do it.
3) There's a lot of waste, in small pieces, all through the budget. Let's find the government waste and get rid of it. How hard could it be?

Item 1 is simple suicide. Item 2 is political suicide. Item 3 is La-La Land stuff.

You left off the ... "our children and grand children will be forced into poverty" ... bit.


Since when has the federal government and Congress been "responsible"? Any talk about cutting back on pork barrel spending?


I didn't think so.

"Philadelphia Inquirer | September 22, 2005 | Andrew Cassel"

Little Lib Andy puts the "ass" in "Cassel".

I am looking forward to the riots in the streets.

Sounds slighte skwed and biased to me.

It's typical liberal trash not based on facts.

1. No black and white TV's.
2. TV is not the primary source of news, nor is the NYT.
3. No I Dream of Jeannie, Time Tunnel, or It's about Space on TV
4. The small arms ammo produced for Vietnam was used up in Gulf War 1.
5. We have been to the Moon, and remotely sensed Mars and the Stars with Hubble.
6. People are sick of liberal drivel after 30 years.
7. Computers

Andrew is another hysterical Bush hater exaggerating things and not playing with a full deck when it comes to facts.

I'm a little fuzzy on this, but didn't the Euro weenies back during the 1950s and 1960s refused to pay the USA for all the money spent on their wild spending spree we now refer to as WWII?

So, when we had a couple of near meltdowns in world financial markets because of the Dollar's exchange value in the late 60s and early 70s, where were the funds we were owed by the Euro weenies?

And now we have gargantuan Balance of Payment problems with the Pacific Rim folks? Imbalances again? Seems to me the rest of the world likes to suck up our aid, then pretend they don't owe us...

"wars" are not expensive; "peacekeeping actions" are expensive.

If you kill an enemy combatant it's guaranteed he'll never pick up a gun again and, in the course of time, his relatives and associates will come-about to learn that "no gun" = "stay alive" and "have gun" = "dead, fast".

If you take away his gun and try feed/clothe/educate him he'll take all he can get from you and STILL try to kill you when he gets the chance because he feels that it is his political/religous/moral/personal responsibility.

Ergo: killing someone frees him of all his responsibilities.

The idiots could not prevent this war, but they are doing their level best to ensure that it ends badly. I think there is a contingent in the anti-war left that wants to make sure no war can end well, in order to discourage wars in the future.
