Tax cuts. Problem solved.

No. That’s onlya part of the solution.

Condrolling/reducing govt spending is the other key factor. The GOP got kicked out in large part for Democrat-Lite in that regard. Limit spending to what is Constitutionally authorized andwho knows.. this country might even be able to pay its bills and havea viable currency trusted around the world.

You know what would work in Afghanistan a Rail System…you know linking three major cities say Herat, Kabul and Kandahar.

Reminds me of the old joke:
Mechanical engineers build weapons.
Civil engineers build targets.

A rail system would be the first thing to be attacked and destroyed by Taliban. They know that by crippling transportation in the region, they would gain the upper hand.

If Afghanistan was a more stable place, then yes, a rail system would be a great idea.

If it weren’t for George Soros, Warren Buffet would be the biggest scumbag in the United States. I still puzzle at people’s respect and blinding admiration for the man.

Liberals worship power solely for the sake of power. Dictators and terrorists are their rock stars. But when a conservative leader doesn’t try to control their lives, that fills them with blind rage.

By exactly the same token, lberals love the rich — but only the FILTHY rich. Their next door neighbor who works hard, saves his money and pays his taxes? That guy is a menace to their way of life and must suffer for the bad feelings he’s created within them.

D’oh. No wonder none of my 1,253 comments made it through yet. I’m going to bed.

They make their fortunes using the Capitalist system then spew leftist garbage to the “little people.”

I don’t know that the “system” Warren Buffet used was capitalistic. He bought up small, family run insurance companies that could not survive the very socialistic inheritance taxes. He’s a great proponent of confiscatory inheritance taxes. Buffet, like most liberals, love socialism when it doesn’t effect him. I work with liberals, and when most of them were slammed with a property tax increase they howled about how unfair it was.

If it weren’t for George Soros, Warren Buffet would be the biggest scumbag in the United States. I still puzzle at people’s respect and blinding admiration for the man.

gotta love that HA filter. Viag** catches the filter every single time. It is part of the QOTD yet we can’t reference it directly. Wordsmithing keeps us on our toes, I guess.

My systems at work and at home both are clogging on HotAir, although to be fair my work browser is also finding offensive content on the Wall Street Journal’s WSJ.com site. Heh.

That just makes you a propaganda outlet. Hey guys, lets publish ANOTHER story about Obama’s poll numbers, and keep ignoring Ensign’s story. Have you no shame man?

Tabloid gossip v. the numbers plummeting for the street thug turned president who is destroying the nation? I’ll take the street thug story thank you very much. It has more relevance than a story that is just hanging on because you filthy liberals need to stage a distraction from the trainwreck that is the current regime.

Have you no shame man?

You keep using that word, I do not think that it means what you think it means.

agree

acknowledge, move on…

The Ensign story is old news. We already knew the guy was a sleaze and a liar and an adulterer. We already knew his mistress and her hubby were blackmailing him. So what’s the big “news” story that we should all be commenting on? We’ve already had the Ensign’s-a-dirtbag thread. How many more of those do we need?

doesn’t matter now. he backed the wrong horse. and he, of all people, should have been able to see that.

Shut up Mr. Buffet. You’re an idiot.

I can respect true captains of industry, innovators, those who create-they certainly earn their wealth and help the rest of society as well…but these Gordon Gecko types are scum and aren’t much better than the Bernie Madoffs of the world.
