another very excellent post Uncle Bill. a great service you do IMHO.

I was particularly irritated at watching the presidentent's state of the union address when he talked about spending control. He was extremely dishonest in that portion of his speech. He actually said that he was going to make sure that government didn't grow faster than the economy, that he was going to hold it down to 4% because they just had a report that the gdp grew by 4%. Sure, it grew by 4% in one quarter. But in the other quarters since he became president it grew by 1-2%, and he grew the government tby 8% or more. And it is unlikely the 4% figure will hold, but he latches onto it and vows this discipline. He's just like Clinton.

Thanks Dude! You are correct sir! We should have had four more years of Bill Clinton's form of government with corruption, murder, sex, wag the dog, and other soap opera bullsh*t. Right up your alley wasn't it!

But you can rationalize it because you can say "at least he didn't waste money"...

He's just like Clinton.

I'm speachless. It was just about sex to you wasn't it?

Please feel free to not respond because that means you know I'm right. Also, should you feel the need to respond know that I am right and right always wins.

Cut the guy some slack.

Do you really believe he can figure out what 4% a number is?
