Republican senators push for balanced budget amendment

858 americans martyred in afghanistan since obama was inaugurated, 60% of all us casualties in this longest war in our history

iCasualties: Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom Casualties

OBAMA'S WARS---live em, libs, love em, they're YOURS

All I'm saying is that the same people who shouted "Support the Troops" and "War with Iraq" are suddenly anti-war because it's Obama. I'm good with the war in Afghanistan, as I always was -- we did (and are doing) what we had to.

Your use of the word "martyred" is interesting. Usually that has a positive connotation. If they were martyred, they died for a good cause. That's not something to attack.

the 858 who DIED in OBAMA'S WAR were, tragically, martyred for nothing

except honor

pray for their families
 
watch it collapse if they don't
 
A balanced budget amendment is a ****ing horrendous idea, and I really hope that the Republican senators are just being morons because they know it won't pass. If this is what the Republican Party actually believes now, our country is in for some very rough times ahead.

We SHOULD be running deficits during a recession, because high spending and low taxes stimulate the economy in the short-term. Recessions cause unemployment and Medicaid claims to soar, and they cause the tax base to shrink. We should balance the budget during the good times, but it definitely should not be a requirement to balance it every single year.

Fortunately, I think that the GOP is just playing politics with this. It's rather difficult for me to believe that many of the same senators who voted for Bush's budgets every year have suddenly changed their mind now that a Democrat is president. They know perfectly well that balancing the budget during a recession is a bad idea.
 
Heh.

Be cool if they could do it, watch the economy collapse if they did.

here's a quick question boogie: what happened the last time the government cut spending and tax rates in response to a recession?

they certainly do not. low taxes are good, that is to be sure, but deficit spending beyond the necessary functions of government is an active drag on the economy.

:) changed that for you; hope it helps.

It seems to me that someone that could find the Cap key to post "OBAMA'S WAR "could at least find it when posting the name of the country that many of us were mighty proud to serve for four plus years "American".

Hey dickweed,when posting the word American find the Cap key for the A at all times.
