The Republicans are playing a cynical political game with hugely high economic stakes

You need to bring in revenues sooner or later to make a business profitable.

Businesses can't just "create" revenue at will, especially in this economic climate. You run lean and mean, hence the very reason unemployment is high.
You can't "spend" your way to prosperity, either. Credit cards come due and "No-Neck" Guido will come get your car.
This presidents' dicretionary spending has risen 84%! 84%! It's ludicrous...

There is so much wrong with this statement, but..........
LMMFAO @ government = Business.

This guy is just a fucking idiot.

You can call me an idiot all you fucking want but sooner or later you are going to have to raise more revenue to make your business prosper. You sure told me...

I'm glad I have your permission. I like the fact that your fucking idiot ass calls government a "business". lmao

No you don't. Not in this instance. This is like a business collecting 1 million in sales within a year, paying 4 employees $50,000 a year and the owner taking $100,000 with another $100,000 in material and overhead... But the accountant buys brand new work trucks and houses for every employee, pays their food/rent/gas/child support/alimony/school/retirement/insurance... Then wonders how they spent 1.2 million.

It's called frivolous spEnding that exceeds realistic needs and a realistic budget.

Try thinking. Maybe people wouldn't call you an idiot.

I think of govt as more of household than I do a buisness.

If a household is bringing in $50k/year but live beyond its means and has top tier uverse, dsl, huge amounts of shopping, amusment costs and then even donates to the poor. Only thing is they go beyond that check every 2 weeks and charges the credit cards. Before you know it you are $100k in debt. Do you go get another credit card to cover the mortgage or do you call ATT and have the uverse and dsl cut off and take the credit cards away from your daughter and tell the homeless shelter you will be back when you can AFFORD it?

Fuck getting another credit card when you cant manage the ones you already have!

Government is big business and it's open to the highest bidder.

Where in the hell have you been? I was very active in there on the old board. Not as much on this one, but still lurk.

True, I was posting in reference to this site. My recollection of the characters who posted in the Politics/GWOT terror foruim on Canada is fading fast though, except for a few standouts like the Iranian ex-pat, gpampers, and bullitt (sp?).

Has this been adjusted for the wars on Iraq since 03 at 797.3 Billion and Afghanistan at 459.8 Billion since 01 equaling 1.26 Trillion dollars?
