I hate paying taxes, but I know I have to in order to have things like police, firefighters, civil services, etc. Americans expect a whole hell of a lot but don't want anything coming out of their pocket for it. Time to change that. You'll wish you paid taxes when your house catches fire and no one comes to put it out. Slash the defense budget big time. Hell, cut it in half and it's still the biggest in the world. Who are we afraid of, anyway? We're on fairly good terms with Russia thanks to M.A.D. and China owns so much shit here there's no point in them trying anything. We're fighting a war that has no clear definition of "win", so put an end to that right now. Nation building costs money and we ain't got any to spare. Besides, the war will never be "won" by the American definition so why does it matter when we leave? We had no problem pulling out of Vietnam and they seem to be doing ok. Also, let's have EVERY financial regulatory institution in this country do a MAJOR overhaul so nobody gets to pull the same bullshit that put us into this situation in the first place. There...that's gotta be a few trillion over a few years.

do it bitches

ahhhh right, this is what I was looking for. I love some good ol political talk. as long as they don't break out into fights (although I admit they were entertaining)

I voted Obama because I trusted him more than McCain to not follow Bush's amazing plans. Honestly, how can you trust a man who recruited that travesty of a gun-toting, religious freak. My god Palin sickened me. I have my hopes that Obama can make a change, aside from the cliche campaign promo. But I don't expect him to be able to just pull our of Iraq and wave a magical wand to fix the economy, it'll take time. On a side note, it was pretty cool to see Obama redraw the political landscape, what with him past Republican states.
