"Let's see we have no fence with Mexico"

U.S.-Mexico border has 83 miles of fences. Care to correct your answer?

"We have a war with Iraq thats going to last longer then World War 2."

Really? What dates did WW2 begin and the fighting end?

"We have the largest spending since who knows when."

What our deficit to GDP ratio and tell me where it ranks on the scale of historical deficits? Does 2.6% sound about right? BTW, after WW2 the deficit to GDP ratio was 10-15%.

That fence is holding up real good. Thanks I feel relieved.

"Really? What dates did WW2 begin and the fighting end"

The most sophisticated military on the planet and a bunch of morons with RPG's are bogging us down. Whats the point in having a trillion dollars in weaponry if you have no will to use it.

No, during WW2 the deficit to GDP ratio was 14-30%.

In 1946 it fell to 7%, and the next decade ran a surplus.
