1. I've seen that a few times

Everytime I go back It's considerable bigger. Sad.

2. trouble with that is...

..no one has taught the guns or butter rules of economics since Ike. Like Wilma Flintstone their cry has been "Charge it".
If the president thinks his war is so right, let him have the guts to pay for it now. see how his big backers react to that.
personally i believe in the long run it would be much cheaper to wage peace. most i say that to only reply "what's that mean?" God save us from idiots and assholes.

4. Wrote McCain several months ago

asking why, if we are at war, there was no shared sacrifice as the pRez has said. Why no draft, why no anti-profiteering laws, and why no surtax on all income to make it a pay as you go venture. I expect him to get back to me any day
