Dear Critic -- thank you for the single star!  I deserve it!  I really do understand how an article without a picture can threaten you children left behind and I apologize for not including one.

My heart goes out to you -- I hope you can find an affordable literacy program soon -- that  would make this forum much more rewarding for both of us. 

Right now, I do feel sorta silly writing this message to you...   

You mean THIS bill:

IF government SPENDING was the ANSWER to our ECONOMICS crisis THEN we would have NEVER had this CRISIS....

1 TRILLION for War.
0.8 TRILLION for TARP

1.2 TRILLION Dollars BORROWED  last year and MORE than THAT this YEAR...

SO AGAIN:

Are you saying that BORROWING MONEY with INTEREST to give to Banksters to continue their reckless gambling so that that gambling trickles down on the rest of us, and Corporate WARFARE is or IS is NOT Keynesian?   For it is CERTAINLY MASSIVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING... 

Junebug, you know who the drive-by single star shooter is.  He hasn't 'posted' any comments.  That would reveal him as the sneak who cannot defend his radical ravings.

A-DUMB -- YOUR PARODY OF THE FISCALLY IRRELEVANT, ECONOMICALLY IMPAIRED LIBERTARIAN HAS SUNK EVEN LOWER THAN SISTER SARAH'S IQ WITH THIS ONE: 

IF government SPENDING was the ANSWER to our ECONOMICS crisis THEN we would have NEVER had this CRISIS....

Well THEN DEMONSTRATE IT, Junie....

USE your VAST and UNTAPPED economics knowledge to tell us.....

How MUCH MORE SPENDING is ENOUGH?

WHEN GOVERNMENT TAKES and SPENDS then IT displaces PRIVATE SPENDING....

We already spend about what the REST OF THE WORLD SPENDS ON DEFENSE...
And we SPEND it TO CREATE TERRORISTS>..

Obama wants $33 billion more for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will ask Congress for an additional $33 billion to fight unpopular wars in Afghanistan and Iraq on top of a record $708 billion for the Defense Department next year, The Associated Press has learned – a request that could be an especially hard sell to some of the administration's Democratic allies.

The extra $33 billion in 2010 would mostly go toward the expansion of the war in Afghanistan. Obama ordered an extra 30,000 troops for that war as part of an overhaul of the war strategy late last year.

Military officials have suggested that the 2011 request would top $700 billion for the first time, but the precise figure has not been made public.  link:[www.huffingtonpost.com]

From today's NYT:

WASHINGTON — President Obama sent Congress on Monday a proposed budget of $3.8 trillion for the fiscal year 2011, saying that his plan would produce a decade-long reduction in the deficit from $1.6 trillion this year, a shortfall swollen by $100 billion in additional tax cuts and public works spending that he is seeking right away.

“We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences, as if waste doesn’t matter, as if the hard-earned tax money of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money,” Mr. Obama said at the White House.

But at the end of the decade, the yearly deficits would begin moving up again, as the projected costs of health and retirement programs for an aging population start to escalate, according to forecasts in the administration’s new blueprint.

No budget proposal is ever enacted wholesale by Congress, and the spreadsheet-boggling numbers in the White House plan are sure to produce anguished partisan and ideological debates over how best to address the deficit and the nation’s lingering economic problems between now and the start of the new fiscal year next Oct. 1 — if indeed Congress manages to complete its work by then, right before the midterm elections.

anguished ideological pissing and moaning, I'd say -- followed by Cutting & Pasting by the economically-impaired!
