“I believe in figuring out how much money the government needs to operate, dividing by the number of people over age 18, and sending everyone their bill for that amount.”
I wouldn’t be opposed to that... simple and elegant.
I also believe that any country we go and fight for and win we get to keep.
At this point am with the crowd that says let it fail. Give obama everything, and I do mean everything he wants. Let him have the blame. After all obama told us we did not build it, so heck let him go ahead and break it. If Boehner compromises it will be the end of his career and many if not all Republicans. Let obama hold it. Give the democRATS what they voted for. Walk away and let obama go at it. The entire collapse is coming no matter what deal is made. Let obama and the democRATS own it.
Well, sometimes the inhabitants are not too happy about that & fighting them is eventually just too much trouble. (Philippines.)
Grenada and Panama? Ok, cool.
Iraq. Well maybe if we truly totally run it. (Oil. Drilling here is less trouble, though.)
Afghanistan? Yuck!!!
