^ What things and how quickly?


Massive government spending that put the tax payers into more debt does not seem to be away out of the problems caused by massive debt if you ask me.

Quoted for the amount of ignorance written in one post

Specify. Otherwise that post was the most ignorant one on this thread.

i hate to say this more than you can imagine but im going to have to side with blunt on this

It's because I don't have a high post count isn't it :p

I don't care who sides where. I know what I'm talking about and I have faith that things in this country will better themselves more quickly now.

Hahahaha. Thanks for making me laugh. (seriously)

If giving money is so wrong, why did we have an economic stimulus package that gave each person $300-600?

Did it ever occur to you that not all people on welfare are sitting around at home watching Jerry Springer?

If you don't like it that some of your money goes to people in need, don't live here. Otherwise, welcome to the USA.

And OK, you're right, life isn't always fair. But isn't the point of living to try to make life fair? Do you honestly WANT life to be unfair?

If all those "illegals" without health care were to leave this country we would be in a much worse economic state than we are now. Also they are not all here by choice, but instead by circumstance.

Taxes are the name of the game. Without taxes, the government would not exist and this country would not exist.

Stop trying to school me on economics. We're at the 100 level here.

I can't believe you guys. I don't even know where to start with this.

First of all, that video is so stupid. It's almost as dumb as these people.

The guy specifically says "I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST WHITE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS." I mean look at the dude...he is white and probably has been a construction worker. Haha...unbelievable.

So you think giving money to those deemed more in need first is wrong? You're just jealous that you aren't so in need. And you think that is communism? WRONG. It's fairness, justness. That's why Emergency Rooms exist. The person most injured needs the most help.

Also, just so you know, he is using the term "white construction worker" as a METAPHOR. Do you know what a metaphor is?

Also, as an addendum, about that pastor...

He is NOT Obama. He is a separate person. He is not even an advisor to Obama. Get over it.
