Ron,

Most folks know it is easy to tweak and skew economic data. The total dollar figure of the deficit is vastly higher then it was in 1948. I can choose to leave GDP out of the equation entirely.

I can see why you like Bushland where everything is black and white and if you say you are right, you are.

Not all that impressive an argument.
It wasn't really an argument. You asked, I answered. If you didn't ask the right question, it's not my fault.

Anjin San is like some nagging female, he dwells on everything in the psat to get a point across and never looks at whats going on now nor cares about the furure.

'The problem with Democrats is that they havenâ??t decided upon a plan for Iraq'

Sure they do but they don't want us to surrender until after the elections.

Jack,

Speaking of honest, I am still waiting for you to provide a link to the AP "retraction" of the Bush warned about Katrina story you claim exists.... waiting... waiting...

So you can tweak the numbers based on the much smaller GDP of 1948 and throw in the cost of paying off a war in which someone actually attacked us. Not all that impressive an argument.

As for the coming elections, by all means, keep laughing. Bush's numbers are lower then the mercury in Alaska, and Republicans are distancing them from him as fast as they can. So, don't think, and be arrogant. It's worked for Bush, given him the sucessful administration he has today. Even Fox news is saying he is rapidly sinking in territory last explored by President Carter. Yuck it up, dude.

I love this! Air America may be off-line at the beginning of April. You liberals want to get votes? You can't even sell your message in New York City of all places! It's time for you to give up.

Here is the problem: there are two primary issues in the United States (other issues are important but haven't resonated with voters):

1) Iraq
2) The War on Terrorism

The problem with Democrats is that they haven't decided upon a plan for Iraq...half of then want to immediately withdraq and be vocal about it while the other wants to withdraq but hide that fact.

Thanks, Paul.

So anjin-san, I'm not sure what they teach you in those Chinese schools, but here is a lesson:

Lets say I had debt 25 years ago of $100,000, and today I have debt of $110,000. Did I have more debt 25 years ago or today?

Granted, this is a lesson lost on many Americans, so it is something liberals play up regularly every election cycle, but that's OK-we keep winning elections! LOL!!!

Show us a time we had more red ink then under Bush. 1948 or so. Debt was 120% of GDP, currently about 70%; very close to 1996. source

Whadda you mean, the Dems don't have plans?

Kerry told us he had a plan for most everything he was asked about, even things he wasn't, and he was certainly a Democrat.

Only thing is, I never heard of anybody who actually SAW any of these plans.

And there is the problem.

If we could only get these (no doubt) excellent plans made public, it would help fix everything that now needs fixing, and give the Democrats the ability to say they have had great plans all along.

That would be a real plus for the Dems in the next election.
