[Diplomat]

To Future Generations:

Your parents and I are paying off two world wars, several police actions, free health care for old people/immigrants/children, and a manadated all citizen pyramid scheme (except gov't employees of course).

Consider yourselves lucky.

"Next generation will inherit our huge war debt"
Here is a title for you liberals out there:

Next generation might not be around to inherit anything if we don't do something about the current threat to our country.

[Atilla_the_Hun]

Let me get this straight;

1. We are in debit $5.6Trillion by our own doing

2. With the Marshall Plan, over $12 billion was dispersed (1948-51) under the program. To our Eurowenies, interest free. So in 2003 $ that would be (6% interest for 54years) or $ 353,985,999,318,476,000,000,000,000.00

No problem, we have already got the troops there... let’s go collect it….

[The Obstinate Insomniac]

Two things; the debt would not exceed historic norms as a percent of GDP and Saddam is going to leave without a war so all the cost estimates are way off.

Next generation will inherit our huge war debt

With this push to slash taxes during wartime, Bush broke from 140 years of history under presidents of both parties.

That's so when the richest 1% get their targeted job creating tax cut there'll be these huge, high paying jobs for the next generation to pay it off...some people just don't understand grand strategies.

Has anyone told this to Picard yet?

Surely we can find some change rolling around in some program to study the breeding habits the Wyoming Ground Clam.

Ronald Brownstein also has not done his homework. If I remember correctly tax CUTS always increase revenue. Leave the money in the hands of the people where it will expand the economy. A larger economy means you can take a smaller bite out of it (percentage wise) and end up with more than you started with. Reference President Reagan's cut and the first President Bush cut.
