I hope you can afford to protect yourself -- after the tax increases and minimum wage hikes -- when the dirty bomb hits.
I certainly can.
Reducing taxes is pointless in the absence of finanacial restraint. The Republican Congress and Presidency have massively increased the unfunded obligations of this nation which is just as bad as a tax hike.
If you knew anything about basic physics you wouldn't worry too much about a dirty bomb. In fact, given the data on radiation hormesis, it might actually reduce the incidence of cancer and lead to greater public acceptance of nuclear power.
If you think a dirty bomb boogy-man is going to scare me into supporting speech crime CFR legislation, expanded medicare, massive increases in social spending, further federalization of publik skewls, the Dept. of Homeland Security, TSA, free drugs for Africa, etc, etc then you deserve to dwell in the dustbin of politics.
Why would we worry about that, unless your boy Bush has lost his veto pen again.
Last i studied American Government, it takes a 2/3 majourity to override a Presidential Veto. Of course with the Republicans in the Senate and House showing a curious lack of cajones, the Democrats just may have it in the bag.
