This is the key. I thin.. know that the justice system in this country is corrupt and unjust. I am against the death penalty. I don't trust the system to get it right. I was saying it makes as much sense as High Speed Rail and Nationwide 6G coverage ( that the Govt. wants the authority to shut off at their whim, while they admonish other countries for doing the same). Are the new phones that everyone(remember wealth distribution) is going to need to take advantage of this new Govt. provided wonder to be paid for by us taxpayers? Will the computers and phones be made in America? Will it use more electricity(read Energy) to keep running and recharging all of these devices? Will it not create more Global Warming? Pay attention.

I dont think there is a formal govt in place in Somolia. I also don't think we send them very much aid money.

So you are criticizing someone who raised 23 foster children because she received gov't money to help defray the expenses?

you left out Global Warming :rolleyes:


btw

liberals suck

They live in squalor. Talk about poor.

If only they had high speed rail, and unlimited internet access, and an electric receptacle to plug it into, and a stable Govt. to tell them what to do.,

:tro:

it's apparent that welfare is good, whereas foster parenting is bad. it's a racket you see...

oh, wait. that woman she talked about must not be a democrat. were she a democrat, she'd be up for woman of the year.

I personally think it's awesome. I'm just jumping on the "awful government-freebie-taking handout queen" meme. What's the matter, that ship full? Queen of the Tea Party gets all her money from the government - job, kids, farm.

Or, or ... food! And no people killing them!

you just a "muckraker"

Only over a 100 million most years and close to 140 million in the last fiscal year.

i don't know/care whether the navy should patrol that area-but i'm not quite sure where the cost analysis is coming from. our sailors and ships are at sea more often than not, i doubt the cost would increase if they chose to patrol that area. i've never understood why the price is an argument, it's not as tho the navy isn't getting paid or using funds if there is no official action; there's always action.

as for the aid to somalia, it's probably in the form of food and medicine, and the price mentioned is a drop in the our vast budgetary bucket. people bemoan foreign aid, but our military expenditure far surpasses that. if we could actually raise foreign aid a few percentage points and buy some peace, and lower our military budget by the same percentage-we'd make money. i don't think people realize just how much of our budget goes to defense spending.

"Save enough pennies, and the dollars will take care of themselves." - Benjamin Franklin

how much of that foreign aid just ends up staying with the despots? Defense of this country is one of the things congress and the president are supposed to do.

I agree with the bolded part of your argument

I :{>: Michelle :)

brilliant

Even if I was a rich mofo with a yacht, I would have a personal no sail zone near Somalia. Just sayin.
