3 cents an acre, what a bargain. That is like borrowing a hundred bucks to buy a walmart.
#12. To: A K A Stone (#11) The point being that it wasn't paid back in 2 years time... America...My Kind Of Place... #13. To: war (#5) The debt ceiling has to be raised. The US needs to pay its obigations. PERIOD. Where do we stop? When the dollar is dropped as the WRC? When it collapses completely?
#14. To: A K A Stone (#11) 3 cents an acre, what a bargain. That is like borrowing a hundred bucks to buy a walmart. Much of it unliveable with vector born diseases and such. We originally bought it as a buffer. "http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi" #15. To: war (#10) BTW, Jefferson bought Louisiana with borrowed money. The North paid for the CW with borrowed money. "http://first-draft-blog.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c5ced53ef0148c7a28c4b970c-320wi" #16. To: We The People (#13) When the dollar is dropped as the WRC? WRC? America...My Kind Of Place... #17. To: war (#16) World reserve currency
#18. To: We The People (#4) Couple refusing to do so to S&P's shit bomb yesterday and you would see a financial crash 100x's worse than 2008. Only those foolish enough to believe we can keep writing bad checks in the trillions (total) utter this kind of nonsense. I hear you knockin...go back where you been.... #19. To: We The People (#13) The debt ceiling has to be raised. The US needs to pay its obigations. PERIOD. The irony in this statement is the fact Geithner and company are claiming we have to do this to pay the INTEREST on what we owe, not the debt we are 'obligated to pay'. Raising the debt ceiling is absolute insanity, doesn't matter which political party controls the House. I hear you knockin...go back where you been.... #20. To: All (#16) When the dollar is dropped as the WRC? Not going to happen. But if you want to see it happen...default on debt... America...My Kind Of Place... #21. To: Rek (#15) And neither point has any bearing on what we are dealing with here, today. I hear you knockin...go back where you been.... #22. To: Badeye (#19) (Edited) The irony in this statement is the fact Geithner and company are claiming we have to do this to pay the INTEREST on what we owe, not the debt we are 'obligated to pay'. You crack me up Boofer...the last time the debt ceiling came up you were screaming that it would be unpatriotic to not raise it with a war going on. That said, that's been the reason for raising the debt ceiling just about every time it has been raised. Don' t start your day job. America...My Kind Of Place... #23. To: war (#2) a financial crash 100x's worse than 2008. You don't see that coming if we keep increasing the debt limit?
#24. To: We The People (#23) I do. So we cut spending. And we still don't get there. You HAVE to raise taxes. America...My Kind Of Place... #25. To: Badeye (#19) The irony in this statement is the fact Geithner and company are claiming we have to do this to pay the INTEREST on what we owe, not the debt we are 'obligated to pay'. That is actually the insanity of it all. How will we ever pay the debt if we have to print and borrow more just to pay the interest? It's absolute insanity.
#26. To: We The People (#25) (Edited) The insanity is the fact that the GOP is responsible for most of it and are now bitching about it. We told them that you cannot cut taxes...we told them that you cannot spend money like a drunken sailor...every time a bill came up to authorize funds for the war, the GOP flipped out when the dems insisted that they pay for it.... THAT is the insanity of all of this... America...My Kind Of Place... #27. To: war (#26) The insanity is the fact that the GOP is responsible for most of it and are now bitching about it. OK, no offense, but that is my cue to walk away.
#28. To: We The People (#27) (Edited) It's the truth...most of the debt that we have we incurred under republicans...you walking away does not make that any less true... America...My Kind Of Place... #29. To: war (#28) It's the truth...most of the debt that we have we incurred under republicans...you walking away does not make that any less true... I know it's true. The majority of our debt occurred under Republican administrations. That's not what makes me want to exit the conversation. What makes me want to exit the conversation are these two simple facts; I am not a Republican and Congress controls the purse, not the president. Reagan increased the debt +11.3% in his first term and +9.3% in his second, but it was with the aid of a Dem controlled House. George H W Bush increased the debt +15.0% in one term, but with a Dem controlled House AND Senate. We are in debt, not up to our asses, but far over our heads. Arguing that one party put us there is, again no offense, simply nonsense. R's and D's are equally to blame, but they certainly do benefit when we're arguing the merits of one over the other, like we're taking sides in a football game, while we all continue to go further into debt.
#30. To: We The People (#25) That is actually the insanity of it all. Exactly. We are 'here'. And when you point out this is quite insane, no matter how you look at it from a busienss standpoint, the uber Leftwingers will fall apart, and change the topic to bashing Bush, or the GOP...as if that has anything to do with 'here and now'. It no longer matters 'who'. We're at the point if we don't cut the House off cold turkey, the slim chance we can get out of this financial mess will dissipate completely. I hear you knockin...go back where you been.... #31. To: We The People (#29) George H W Bush increased the debt +15.0% in one term, but with a Dem controlled House AND Senate. Huh? Bush had 6 years of a friendly Congress... America...My Kind Of Place... #32. To: We The People (#29) We are in debt, not up to our asses, but far over our heads. Arguing that one party put us there is, again no offense, simply nonsense. Yep. I hear you knockin...go back where you been.... #33. To: Badeye (#30) (Edited) Exactly. We are 'here'. And when you point out this is quite insane, no matter how you look at it from a busienss standpoint, the uber Leftwingers will fall apart, and change the topic to bashing Bush, or the GOP...as if that has anything to do with 'here and now'. The fact is, Boof...dems all throughout Bush's reign of error were predicting fiscal clamity. They were laughed at. "Cutting taxes ALWAYS increases revenues!!!" You were screaming for a tax cut 2 years ago. America...My Kind Of Place... #34. To: war (#33) Bush cut taxes and revenues to the govt increased. What you liberals don't understand. Is that when you earn money it is yours not the governments.
#35. To: war (#31) Bush had 6 years of a friendly Congress... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nat...y_U.S._presidential_terms
#36. To: war (#31) George H W Bush, not George W Bush.
#37. To: A K A Stone (#34) Bush cut taxes and revenues to the govt increased. www.rushlimbaugh.com/home...ntent/01125109.guest.html "I love the 45 caliber M1911, I respect the 9MM M9 Beretta but I only carry a CZ for my own personal protection". Quote courtesy of Lt Col John Dean Cooper, recognized as the Father of Modern Handgunning #38. To: war (#33) (Edited) dems all throughout Bush's reign of error were predicting fiscal clamity. Yes they were, so why aren't they predicting the same now? Why are they now calling for more spending and an increase in the debt limit? Partisan politics, D's v R's is a shell game with no pea. No way to win. Both are drunk with power and unending, astronomical spending.
#39. To: We The People (#38) Yes they were, so why aren't they predicting the same now? Sure they are. The debt ceiling argument is a weak one. The government HAS to pay its bills including the interest on the debt. America...My Kind Of Place... #40. To: We The People (#36) Same inbred gene pool... America...My Kind Of Place... #41. To: A K A Stone (#34) Bush cut taxes and revenues to the govt increased. Bull...they fell and when they finally recovered they were good one year and anemic the rest. Just as when Reagan cut them. America...My Kind Of Place... #42. To: A K A Stone (#34) Receipts: 2000 2,025,457 Source: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy08/hist.html America...My Kind Of Place... #43. To: war (#42) Your numbers say revenue was up. Taxes were cut so less comes in. But more came in then the amount of the tax cuts.
#44. To: A K A Stone (#43) More will come in during times of a level of GDP growth that is enough to boost tax revenues. As we've learned, the growth of the Bush43 years was illusory and the tax revenues anemic. Clinton raised taxes and revenues increased a trillion dollars in 7 years. Bush cut taxes and revenues now are about the same as they were in 2000. America...My Kind Of Place... #45. To: CZ82 (#37) You posted that as a joke, right? America...My Kind Of Place... #46. To: war (#45) You posted that as a joke, right? So what part do you think is the joke???? His viewpoint, because it's different than yours??? Or that you think I might agree with him??? Did you know that the amount of millionaires in this country doubled after the Bush tax cuts?????? That's from an IRS article I read a few years ago..... "I love the 45 caliber M1911, I respect the 9MM M9 Beretta but I only carry a CZ for my own personal protection". Quote courtesy of Lt Col John Dean Cooper, recognized as the Father of Modern Handgunning #47. To: CZ82 (#46) (Edited) I don't believe that there is any political commentator who has been more discredited over any topic than Rush Limbaugh. It's not a matter of agreeing or disagreeing; it's a matter of whether or not Limbaugh is an "authority". He is not. America...My Kind Of Place... #48. To: CZ82 (#46) That's from an IRS article I read a few years ago..... That's an authority better cited. I'd like to see the article though. America...My Kind Of Place... #49. To: war (#39) The debt ceiling argument is a weak one. LOL! OK then.
#50. To: war (#40) Same inbred gene pool... No argument there.
#51. To: We The People (#49) See...agree with me more and the easier I am to get a long with... America...My Kind Of Place... . . . Comments (52 - 113) not displayed. Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest |
