400 fucking billion dollars. Are you kidding me? Yea were only gonna be about 7-8 trillion in defecit by the time bush leaves office. The real shame of it is the fact that only 300 million of is going to pay for the raises, and the rest of it is going to buy planes and ballistic missles

come the general election every will gravitate towards the middle... and their differences will mostly become indiscernable. the voting populace(as a whole) is narrow-minded and only seeks guidance on disisive issues such as gay marriage rights... if bush is for or against it he is gonna gain or lose your vote. i dont think people take a full look at any representative and see what they could or couldnt do, mostly its a beauty contest, who has the best haircut who stands up the best in front of the tv cameras etc. you will see if howard dean gets nominated he will compromise any of these disisive values in order to move back towards the center. the entire was electoral system was established to inhibit change, quick passionate change by the masses, it does that job nicely. look at the bright side if the government defaults on its loans, go's bankrupt, and collapses, you wont have to pay taxes anymore. the republicans set the stage on how the election is run by determining the context of the election, that 200 million behind bush, the political machine that has mostly marginalized democrats to a handfull of elected offices. the democratic party needs a new vision, not merely to be the republicans foot stool, or it risks becoming irrevalant.

The Chicago Tribune did an entire section on the Election and where it stands right now. I read it on sunday and it was really good. Showed every side of the whole mess, and had articles from both liberal democrats and conservative republicans. Damn good. I think you would like it alot, so im a gonna send it to you when I get a chance.
