The U.S. is going more and more into debt. We continue to give money to different countries. This is just increasing the debt. We're "borrowing from Paul to pay Peter". However, if the U.S. stops giving all the money they have been for so long, there'd be a lot of angry courties. What happens is all these pissed off people get together and decide to bomb us for being selfish?
What's your opinion on all this? |

mmmhmmm... you make a good point right there.
our country is like a science experiment. why, you ask? b/c it's like a test to see if every race in our country could get a long. it has the most diverse people in the world. if they can't get a long, this could possibly happen. |

QUOTE(touch my monkey @ Jan 29 2005, 6:17 PM) ^ that has completely nothing to do with the topic.  all right.. maybe that part has nothing to do with the topic, but it connects with the topic. here's how: QUOTE The U.S. is going more and more into debt. We continue to give money to different countries. This is just increasing the debt. We're "borrowing from Paul to pay Peter". However, if the U.S. stops giving all the money they have been for so long, there'd be a lot of angry courties. Our country is like a science experiment. We give money to other countries and at the same time, it increases our debt. Stopping it could cause angry countries. In other words, the other countries are like watching our (U.S.A) country give out money to those who need the money. But if the U.S. doesn't give out money, the experiment fails and the world can possibly be a world full of civil unrest since we are the most diverse country in the world. other countries love to see the U.S. try to have it's diverse cultures find a way to get along with each other in the U.S. just think about it. you'll understand. =) |

the deficit is result of tax cuts and spending too much money on creating the democratic empire in the middle east, not donating money to third world countries.

it is valid though. if bush can spend 80 billion in a year on an unjust, illegal occupation, then the economy cant be in that bad a shape.
helping the lesss fortunate is more important than bombing them |

even though the debt is more caused by tax breaks etc., donations don't help the U.S. gain money...

if we discontinue pouring money into Operation Iraqi Liberation, we'd be in alot better shape. |

You acn thank President Bush for that  Since he has been in office, he has caused THE biggest deficit the US has ever faced.Its really sad....and guess what guys. By the time our parents who are like 50ish retire, and our generation retire, there will be no more Social Security. Meaning, we will be so far downhill that it wont even exist anymore. we will have to manage our retirement funds ourself. It kinda sucks....-sigh- I wonder what genious idea he will bring up next..Yes i know the presidents job is hard, but this is no excuse, as a president, millions of lives are affected by his wise or poor decisions.. |

I thought that if the president decides to do something he had to get the approval from the Senate or something. I'm not sure if it's true but I thought that was what it was supposed to be. |

QUOTE well we already started it, we can't just stop it and leave iraq to the iraqi people to fix. why? i mean it snot like the us is actually acomplishing anything other than giving the terrorists the exposure they want. what really irritates me is that whenever 5 soldiers die, it makes the news. its a war,, for gods sake! people die! |

THAT'S when the war will be finished. because of that, it will never be done. |
