Willie is a very bright liberal, who pretends (sometimes) to be a fundamentalist. It is a disguise.

He is being outed day-by-day.

Are we the next Japan? They're in a shambles even though their economy's the world's 2nd largest. The country of Botswana has a higher credit rating than Japan now.

Like I told Bill, take 600mg of Lithium, you worry too much about things that are out of your control.

Big whup....We have almost half that out here in little ol' California all by ourselves.

The fiscal year is still new.

But, you're right, big whup. Not to worry. When they run out of money they'll just print more.

"The people have the government that they deserve"
-Ben Franklin


Personally I haven't thrown in the towel on our ability to control our nation's finances. No soma, uh I mean lithium, for me thanks.

"And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale."

-- Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, May 28, 1816

"I am not among those who fear the people. They, and not the rich, are our dependence for continued freedom. And to preserve their independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude."

--Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816

Republicans spend money just as fast as the Democrats. Nobody will ever fill the shoes of President Ronald W. Reagan who cut govt. regulations and wanted to cut the Departments of: Commerce, Education, Transportation and Enegry. The only way to slow the growth of the budget is to cut payroll and spending.
