1. Horrifying.

[depakid]

2. You're not including

a ton of future healthcare costs, opportunity costs and other externalities.

You might want to add on another 90 billion to that... for starters.

GET IN THE WAY OF THE MACHINE

3. I wonder how many armed guards this would buy, spaced

100 yards apart, working on all three shifts 7 days a week, earning an average 50 thousand dollars a year each to protect our borders against terrorists???

9. I did a post on this a couple weeks back.

Your a donor, you should search for it.

guards, mexican (or it might be Mexico, but I'm not sure), border, iraq, barbed, and wire would all be good key words.

5. I have watched that money clock spin. Shock to me

Watch the Nat. debt clock. That makes ones heart beat faster.

8. Peace bridgit

How to keep the focus on the 900 pound gorilla in the room when heads are turned in the direction of illusory proceedings?

Until this nation gets the military under control we shall be spiritually dead. The planets survival is at stake-nothing less. what's it gonna take?
