It's ALL Bush's FaultView Messages“What's this "WE" #&%!$?” 7:00:51 AM 8/17/07 “and dont forget gore actually won in 2000” 7:01:22 AM 8/17/07 “Sarge, which gov?” 7:24:01 AM 8/17/07 “Sarge, border security IS the Government's Job but security in our local areas is part of OUR responsibility. Tilty.,..one of the reasons Augusta is such a freaking criminal cesspool is precisely because the citizens WON'T GET INVOLVED. A few years ago there was a guy who had robbed a bunch of houses in the HILL and throughout Augusta. Well he moved up to Columbia...his third robbery he came out of the house and found his car blocked in by a truck and a 12 gauge shotgun staring him in the face. (LOL) HE Peed himself.” 7:28:45 AM 8/17/07 “Sarge, border security IS the Government's Job but security in our local areas is part of OUR responsibility. Yeah, but you specifically said "borders".” 7:41:39 AM 8/17/07 “g0ddammit sarge, dont confuse xl with the facts uh oh, here he comes with another WW2 anecdote” 7:44:20 AM 8/17/07 “Um Sarge....I agree but the border as it was is only as secure as the interior also. If the "illegals" do not feel too secure INside the country I am guessing it will be a lot easier to control the borders. Its kinda like keeping your house safe. You can spend bucks on security for the doors, windows etc...but if the criminal knows he may get the final judgement entering it...will he want to? On the other hand say someone like Vile baby and his trolls..heck they know thats easy pickins (LOL)” 8:06:18 AM 8/17/07 “All true, but it is still the government's job to secure the borders, not ours.” 8:09:39 AM 8/17/07 “You dudes need to run an,'under ladder and black cat slalom'.” 8:54:01 AM 8/17/07 Another one bites the dust 2:49:03 PM 8/17/07 “Does the 'not ours', mean vigilance to unlawful status or activity of whom we are exposed is NOT required?” 4:52:42 PM 8/17/07 “ ”6:39:33 PM 8/17/07 “Frame-grab from Titanic?” 7:10:52 PM 8/17/07 “Nope - the West Wing (LOL).” 7:26:42 PM 8/17/07 “Let's bump this thread title to the top once again just for the fun of it.” 12:17:49 PM 8/18/07 “Let's bump this thread title to the top once again just for the fun of it. Dunadan 12:17:49 PM 8/18/07 Done.” 5:02:03 PM 8/18/07 “where's that damn rat wrangler?” 5:57:32 PM 8/18/07 8:56:19 AM 2/19/08 “Some give him too much credit. You wouldn't lay blame on a pair of pliers or a doorknob. Of course not.” 9:15:20 AM 2/19/08 “some? Like the Africans this weekend? Like the people of Kosovo this weekend? Tell them that.” 9:58:28 AM 2/19/08 “Africosovo likes the sack of hammers” 10:20:26 AM 2/19/08 “Since when did Dubya drive the Serb death squads out of Kosova?” 10:49:31 AM 2/19/08 “old thread bump” 12:35:27 PM 11/05/09 “LOL..Great read. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704738404575347302831199046.html President Obama and congressional Democrats are blaming their trillion-dollar budget deficits on the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003. Letting these tax cuts expire is their answer. Yet the data flatly contradict this "tax cuts caused the deficits" narrative. The Bush tax cuts wiped out last decade's budget surpluses. Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.), for example, has long blamed the tax cuts for having "taken a $5.6 trillion surplus and turned it into deficits as far as the eye can see." That $5.6 trillion surplus never existed. It was a projection by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in January 2001 to cover the next decade. It assumed that late-1990s economic growth and the stock-market bubble (which had already peaked) would continue forever and generate record-high tax revenues. It assumed no recessions, no terrorist attacks, no wars, no natural disasters, and that all discretionary spending would fall to 1930s levels. The next decade's deficits are the result of the previous administration's profligacy. Mr. Obama asserted in his January State of the Union Address that by the time he took office, "we had a one-year deficit of over $1 trillion and projected deficits of $8 trillion over the next decade. Most of this was the result of not paying for two wars, two tax cuts, and an expensive prescription drug program." In short, it's all President Bush's fault. But Mr. Obama's assertion fails on three grounds. First, the wars, tax cuts and the prescription drug program were implemented in the early 2000s, yet by 2007 the deficit stood at only $161 billion. How could these stable policies have suddenly caused trillion-dollar deficits beginning in 2009? ( Second, the president's $8 trillion figure minimizes the problem. Recent CBO data indicate a 10-year baseline deficit closer to $13 trillion if Washington maintains today's tax-and-spend policies—whereby discretionary spending grows with the economy, war spending winds down, ObamaCare is implemented, and Congress extends all the Bush tax cuts, the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) patch, and the Medicare "doc fix" (i.e., no reimbursement cuts). Under this realistic baseline, the 10-year cost of extending the Bush tax cuts ($3.2 trillion), the Medicare drug entitlement ($1 trillion), and Iraq and Afghanistan spending ($515 billion) add up to $4.7 trillion. That's approximately one-third of the $13 trillion in baseline deficits—far from the majority the president claims. It goes on and on...essentially (Okay this is not a shocker) Liberals are liars.” 6:35:56 AM 7/14/10
