Please you sound like a liberal.

we did get a tax cut and lots of social programs are being cut and sent to the local states. Which is were they belong.

I am just estatic in watching my religeon coming back into public life. soon we will be praying in schools. This year I am saying merry christmas to all and, as I watch my liberal collegues get ready for christmas I thank them for celebrating the birth of christ and boy does that piss them off.
honest, when a liberal says happy holidays to you make sure you reply with " and a merry christmas to you" and when they discuss there christmas plans, tell them "that is a wonderful way to celebrate the birth of christ".

Their face will turn red. They clench their fist, and you just smile and walk away

Please name some of the "lots".

That's the Christmas spirit! When people say "Happy Holidays" to me, I tell them to go to hell, just to really piss them off.

The U.S. may be able to afford the increase in spending if the GDP keeps growing; 8.4 percent is a excellent start.

The United States Gross Domestic Product was 10,416,818 (in the millions of U.S. $).

As the GDP goes up, is the tax taken by Government proportional to the GDP? So, if the GDP is 5 % for a year, tax revenue grows 5 %?

Then that would be over half a trillion dollars in extra revenue.

Why? Were any of my comments to the article inaccurate or untrue?

I too also suspect what the Chronicle usually reports on most stories. In this case though I'm afraid they're on the mark. Spending by this Administration and Congress is breaking all time records and as the article states, 55 percent of that additional spending ($373 billion omnibus spending package) unrelated to the Sep. 11 terrorists attacks and the war on terrorism .

This doesn't even consider the $400 billion (actually more like $1.3trillion) medicare drug package that President Bush put the tax payer on the hook for either. Is there any limit to how much is going to be enough?

As an aside sport, I'm probably more conservative than you are Republican.

And let us not forget that the gifts we give and the joy they bring are intended to represent but a pale shadow of the joy we feel in receiving God's Great Gift to us in the person of Jesus Christ to live among us and save us from the fires of hell.

Merry Christmas!

Must be nice to be a Wiccan or a Satanist where you can have your religion back in school. As a Christian, we're still be persecuted with reckless abandon!
