and here the repubs were thinking the dems didn't have a plan
Well, it could start with its foreign policy. A Bush staffer said: "We're an empire now, we make our own reality." UGH.
More generalizations for ideas. Nice.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Can I interpret that for ya? K, thanks.
I am hearing that businesses will be cutting jobs, raising our taxes, longer waits at the ER along with doctors turning away patients, and generally alienating the public. We will stonewall the congress into a state of inoperation through investigations and impeachment proceedings. Did I really make the right choices?

Do you often quote yourself, or are ya just bored silly ? And as for explicit ideas, the Bush administration had explicit information and pissed on it. In the case of Iraq per se, a State Dept report outlined exactly what the U.S. should do - but it was dismissed out of hand. Of course the State dept doesn't mean shit in this administration, so whaddya expect ? Too bad, b/c the multi-volume report was incredibly accurate in terms of what to expect there.
But, you know, criticise me b/c i disagree with statements from a neo-con hack or another right-wing Yankee asshole that the U.S. "should mow the whole place down". Dude, save your snide dumbass comments for the likes of Trent Lott. Its people like him that got the U.S. into the shithole that its in right now. Coming here after the fact, and expecting Democrats to instantly clean up the cesspool left by those filthy republican bastards, is laughable and unconscionable.
Which one do you disagree with?
Umm.... Shhhhhh! Clinton was impeached. Being impeached at the conclusion of impeachment proceeding doesn't make you a winner.
Why would you assume that I disagree with tax reform? That's not very liberal of you. You're a party of ideas, acceptance. Come on...
And there was nothing in that post about pre-war intelligence. But if you must know, all the major intelligence agencies worldwide which agreed in whole in reguards with Saddam Hussien having WMDs, still stand by that assessment. That information was not fabricated by Bush or his administration. The intelligence community may have let this administration down, in a variety of ways, but no one lied to you.

The need to define what we all agree is victory in Iraq.....in other words reel the President back in a little and lets finally map out a victory and exit strategy from Iraq. Also I would love to see the 9/11 commission reccomendations enacted.
But yeah, unlike the waste of time the Clinton impeachment was, I do think an investigation about how we got into this mess called the Iraq war IS necessary which is a million times more important than Bubba lying about getting a hummer.
It's all about truth finding, my friend.
I knew there was a good reason for raising my taxes.

This is pure unadulterated bullshit. The truth is that, on the contrary, intelligence agencies from many wetsern countries had warned Bush et al about the dubious nature of their claims. The German intel org'ns warned the U.S. repeatedly, only to have those warnings brushed aside. It was the Germans who first ran into Curveball, and from where all those claims about Iraq originated. In fact, a call was placed to Colin Powell the very night before his infamous presentation to the UN (Feb. '03) telling him that the information he was about to present was bullshit. He went with it anyways, and now we see the result. There are numerous examples of the administartion knowing that their intel was questionable or downright wrong, but where they proceeded anyway. To me that's misleading and wrong. They fucking knew but spread the lies anyway b/c it helped their cause.
Exactimundo.
Cut spending.
I say start with the US Department of Education, then the IRS, privatize NASA.
On January 1st, 1790 the national debt was $52 million dollars. That, my friend, is a debt beyond my wildest dreams. Spending has never slowed. The debt has never stopped growing. This administration is not unique in any way. I know more than enough about our government spending.
(Please no Clinton comments. "Balancing the Budget" is not reducing the debt.)
Eliminating pork barrel spending is an issue I would begin to dissect as a means to begin paying off the national debt.
Taxpayers should be allowed to check a box on their tax returns so that up to 10 percent of their payments can go for one purpose; reducing the national debt. Eliminating a dollar for spending for each dollar 'donated' would also help as Bush presented in his inauguration speech is another idea. Emphasis on presented.
Telling Congress to stop borrowing money is another. Unfortunately I'm not their mother.
Trying to convince a politician to stop wasteful spending is also unfortunately a battle the people may never win. Thank your local lobbyist for that.

That is a tremendous shortlist. Well done. Why doesn't anyone do this?
How do you pay off an 8 trillion dollar deficit?
Raise taxes. That's about all you can do. Sorry, there's no free lunch for what the Bush administration did to this country. The dollar is practically Monopoly money at this point. We need a financial recovery plan, and pronto. That tax cut to the ultra rich didn't fix the deficit. In fact, it has grown exponentially.

Iraq is costing $10,000 a minute.
The 215-year-old national debt has doubled under six years of Bush. It was 4 trillion when he took office and now it’s 8 trillion.
Doesn’t somebody have to pay for this? It's not who's raising taxes, but when.
How do you make ends meet????? Can you giv eyourself a pay raise to get more income???? No? You can't? You sure? Then what do you do?????
Oh yeah, you cut your spending. You prioritize where your dollars are going. Why don;t we expect the same from our government? Why are you ok with them just taking more of your money?
I just gave you some reasons why the debt is increasing and some ways to help begin paying it off. Please, stop questioning me and think for yourself for a few moments. i'm not an answer machine.
