Yes, wanting to reduce the spending in Washinton is idiotic, isn't it? Just keep the spigots running, 40% of every dollar spent by Congress these days is being billed to your kids. Talk about paying for the binges of your parents.
But back on topic, after all the war on terror nonsense, I sometimes wonder if it would have been better for the US to have abandoned Israel in the 1950's and played nice with the Arabs.

Before you talk about cutting spending, I want you to do just one thing for me..Go and find out where all our money is being spent first, then report back. Is that too much to ask?
And watch the accounting! Just like in Wisconsin we don't want to give 100 million dollars to rich people, create a shortfall, then try to recoup it by taking $3000/year from the school teachers. Thats robbing the poor to give to the rich. Don't be stupid-These budget crisis are created to further agendas
Ohh, another conspiracy theory! Just like the polyanna talking points by the Dems that Social Security is fine.
The Republican big corporate donors don't want anything to be done to cut back the budget because they love the payouts of big goverment contracts. And why once again, the GOP is going to cave on spending limits.
Speaker of the House Boehner sold himself to the TEA Party but he is just the old guard RINO's.

When did the United States 'invade' Kuwait? If I remember correctly, that was Saddam during his 'mother of all wars' period.
Yep, after Kuwait stole oil fields from him and Saddam asked us nicely if we had any problem with him reacting. We said "No, go ahead. We don't interfere in local disputes." right before we went to war on him.
