Abrogation of Responsibility as a Republican agend

So if the Dem's are accused of "Tax and Spend" the
Rebubs are in my opinion guilty of Abrigation of Responsibility.
That is to say, they are abandoning the people who got them
elected. Abandoning them by running, again, the National Debt
to 8 TRILLION bucks, STW thinks that no big deal but what about
the PAYMENTS we have to make, its a subsidy to a friendly bank
is what it amounts to, political payoff. We make what, 400 BILLION
dollars not to draw down the actual National Debt but for the
INTEREST on that debt. If we did not have this disgusting debt,
wouldn't it seem reasonable we would have 4 or 5 HUNDRED BILLION
each year to spend on stuff like social security, the environment, the
space program, medicare which is in deep doo doo, or maybe
a hundred billion dollar fusion reactor apollo style program to get us
off the incredibly stupid oil economy?

Is this about "Responsibility" or "Economic Policy"?

You don't seem able to focus on any particular subject. If you are insinuating that "republicans" cause the national debt, be specific and tell us how they do it. Which department of government causes the debt and who created that department... for example.

For example, show us a chart of HHS and point out which money can be slashed from the budget. Or... who can be taxed more to fix the problem. That seems fair.

How bout the one a couple months ago, now its ok for the cops
to bring out Narc sniffing dogs for no other reason than

My focus is WHY do we have this enormous debt?
I think its because we are giving political payback through the
back door, subsidizing friendly countries that went along or were
just silent during the Iraq war. I get the sneaky feeling there were
no loans from french banks or german banks but plenty from
UK and Aussies banks.

Do you have any clue "who" on the supreme court ruled yesterday to help ruin the constitution? To take away property and give it to rich corporations?

I'll give you a hint...

"Stevens was joined in the majority by three other liberal justices, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Breyer, and by Anthony Kennedy...

dont traffic in illegal substances and you have nothing to fear from drug sniffing dogs

"[George] Washington routinely smoked marijuana to alleviate the pain from his ailing teeth" (Wikipedia). I guess you'd clap old George in irons too, Skip.

Well, now there is a good question. I guess. Have you ever examined the budget of the US?
