Iraq is stupid. It's turned into a policing action with no decisive military actions, we hand out too much in aid, it's a pointless waste of our money and the lives of our soldiers. One thing, and one thing only, has ever decisively ended any war: bringing the bloodshed home to the civilian populace until there is no infrastructure left. We either need to get out now with zero exit strategy faggotry, or raze the place and hang a "PS - don't ---- with the US" sign as we leave.

Colin, it sounds all well and good, but if you look at the dollar amount we spend on any given thing vs. what we get for it, you'd see that it's a big waste.

The liberal cry slogan is "we need more money for schools". MN spends over $10,000 a year on each student in the state (K-12). Please tell me you see a $10,000 education coming out of the schools. No, you don't. Talk to your administrator about his salary and find out why he's gouging you. There is so much waste, no other competition who is going to do better (because the gov. has a monopoly on schools), and as long as the teachers salaries are going to the unions, and the unions are contributing to the democrats, than all you will ever hear is "schools need more money". What happens when we're still turning out the same retards and spending $40,000 a year per student? When they start doing school vouchers you'll have higher education at affordable prices. Save the taxpayers money and let them choose which school they want thier kids to go to. But, it won't happen because of Democrats, unions, and teachers. They'll take thier own interest before an alternative method of making kids smart.

The roads........Take the ammendment right now that you see all the stupid "vote yes" signs for, and PLEASE read the written ammendment. Again, more money for roads *sounds nice*, but if you read the actual 3 BILLION dollar ammendment, you'll see that it is written that "no more than 40% shall be spent on roads, and no less than 60% spent on mass transit. In lawyers terms, none of it has to be spent on roads. And the first "mass transit" that they are planning is a light rail from St Paul to Minneapolis. I don't know about you, but not many people live in St Paul and commute to Minneapolis. If you worked in St Paul, how would you like to drive to the station in Minneapolis to ride the train to St Paul? ----, in that time you coulda just drove there. It's a bullshit amendment to build fancy little trains that don't help congestion. Cost per mile of road vs. mass transit, roads will SMOKE mass transit in cost and efficiency. Good thing the "transportation ammendment" isn't going towards real transportation.



Other than state representatives, there's no reason to have government jobs other than to make the state the biggest company, with a monopoly on everything they do, and no value to the services/work they provide. Please list which government job I'm wrong about.


Just like everything else the government does, social security will fail because we can't sustain it. It's a tough decisioin, but there's only one party that wants to give the already scarce social security dollar to illegals working under stolen social security numbers, and you're voting for them. I hardly that as a way of fixing an already broken system, but I do see that as another *good* reason to tax people more. (see government fraud/waste/abuse above)


You are correct. My $50 gift card will allow employees at the sharper image to have a job, and they will spend that money with other businesses, securing employment, paying sales tax, income tax, and the economy will continue to go around and around. Or...... we could send more money to the government to waste, which does none of the above. Welfare recipients don't shop at the sharper image. Rememba dat.


I believe you're taking two different subjects and twisting them together. Public universities are OWNED by tax loving democrats. They're all about taking others' money, but not when it comes to thiers.


Interest rates are based on inflation. Interest rates are set by the federal reserve, not any politician. My property taxes went up $2,000 this year. I guess we can't have everything our way. (I still haven't pinned down who's fault that is yet)


Colin, people are self reliant. If you depend on the government to give you health, education, and welfare, how much of a hold do they have on your *****? (hypothetical) The only reason the entitlement party (democrats) exist is to make everyone dependant on a government service. Once they have you, you'll never vote them out and risk losing your "cheese". That's why government is bad, mmkay?

Oh, your sander rocked that ----. I'm gonna have this bitch ready for epoxy in a matter of days.
