When you talk about storming Washington, you’re talking about war between the states. We did that once remember? Over 500K American citizens died then. I’m not for doing that again.
As for the troops, these wars are things that are draining our economy. It needs to stop if we are to ever get financially stable..........among other things.
No I am not a follower of Paul. Just an independent with an opinion. If we don’t listen to all possibilitys and close our minds and follow one persons opinion, we will lose for sure.
Clearly, you have no idea what I'm talking about so don't presume to speak for me!
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another...We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,
--That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government...
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
"These wars" were going on during the time of unprecedented uninterrupted job growth, 3.5 years of unemployment below 5%, after-tax per capita personal income and real wages both rose significantly, productivity growth was well above average and the federal budget deficit was down to 1.2% of GDP in FY07, which was well below the 40 year average.
Despite the 2000 Recession, the attacks on 9-11, the stock market scandals, Hurricane Katrina,(as well as all the other hurricanes and natural disasters) and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush Administration was able to reduce the budget deficit from 412 billion dollars in 2004 to 162 billion dollars in 2007, a sixty percent drop, and was well on its way to zero until the commies took over and began their dastardly deeds.
No...it is NOT "these wars" that are draining our economy, but the 40 million illegal alien invading bastards, the unproductive 30-40% of our population who choose to live off the labor of the productive members of our society, and the 535 communist bastards sitting in the US CONgre$$, along with their Comrade Chairman residing down the street who are systematically, deliberately, draining our economy. The wars? Not so much.
