Welcome to the lethal, dissentient policies of the Bush fraudocracy.

Remember all the billions squandered on Ronnie’s Star Wars Defense Initiative? Well, at least we got teflon out of the deal, or something like that.
Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité!
MADD for Bush!! Not a Cokehead anymore!!!
He uses the same logic as the Gipper.
Greenspan snubs him, but he insists that since a minority of the electorate chose him, he has a mandate for a tax cut.
More “voodoo economics”. Might as well resurect Star Wars.
“Will the country please set its clock back 20 years?”
“logic”, right.
Oh shit. Maybe Dubya’s like, Episode One, or something like that…
Mommy!
It may be time to rethink that “undefended border” thing.
I’d rather have federal money going to build a missile defense system than to subsidizing welfare queens and paying farmers not to grow corn.
But that’s just my opinion. 
People say it would cost too much. Phooey.
Let China steal the plans, they would build it for less, and we buy it from them.
Wow, I never realized it, but thanks to your post, I new realize the genius of policies such as spending to “jump start” failing economies. Like Japan, Russia, Angolia, Indonesia, et al. That plan turned around their recessions and/or put them on the map.
Thanks a lot Biz!!!

Exactly! Then, since we all the nukes are obviously obsolete, we dismantle them, rendering the defense systems useless.
It all makes perfect sense.
Then we’ll be racing to come up some other weapon of mass destruction to render the defense systems obsolete.
And so on, and so on.

What is this drivel? The proposed tax cut is primarily for the rich in the US, with a bone thrown to the middle class. Why group all of these disparate countries together? Angola has been shredded for years by the post colonial power grab of vicious caudillos whose forces are armed by first world countries like the US (We sell them lots of landmimes which dismember children. Hey, its a job, you know).
We are at fault for Russia's "privatization" debacle and the huge sums of US money stolen there. If the IMF, World Bank and the US government can't keep thugs from moving all that money to offshore accounts while there is no bread for the masses, whose fault do you think that is? The thugs? It is the incompetant assholes in the federal government who don't place adequate controls upon it.
The yen has risen steadily since the Asian meltdown several years ago. They continue to revamp their business laws increasing domestic competition. Indonesia got hammered because the first world multinationals that pulled all of their capital out of the country when the currency crashed. They instituted stricter laws regarding capital transfer after the recession while the IMF threatened to sanction them and they are slowly recovering now. Thailand on the other hand, has been a good little lapdog to the IMF and the US and hasn't been doing as well. You really are skipping in the meadow pal, and you ought not popoff about that which it is clear you know little about. Why not spend all that money on rebuilding the infrastructure of this country rather than lining the pockets of the rich via a paranoid coldwar chimera like Star Wars redux? What the conservatives fail to understand is that adequate provisions for running a society--any society--like money for schools, roads, water treatment, etc., are more conducive to peace than conventionally arming the third world at the expense of taxpayers like you and me. How bitterly ironic that an average sort like yourself would support the very people who do you harm. Nationalism is parochialism.
