Lars Larson, a Republican apologist, announced on this radio show today that the budget deficit went down $100 billion last year. This, despite the Bush tax cut. He said, "Democrats can put that in their pipe and smoke it." Well, words to that effect.
The Sad Truth If the budget deficit went down a $100 Billion last year, sounds nice and dandy, but it is a drop in the bucket. It doesn't even cover the INTEREST we had to pay for the national debt!
In 2003, the US had to pay $318 Billion for the interest on its national deficit.
We have serious debts folks, and I was brought up told you should always pay your debt.
Also, a real patriots don't give their war bills to their grandkids. President Bush needs to stop the credit card spending.

I am a born-again atheist who is pro-life (I don't eat animals) and I agree with the Dalai Lama when he says "There is no creator".
Those are certainly good words of common sense. It tells us that "spirituality" has nothing to do with a belief in things supernatural. But then, those of us who grew up in the seventies watching "Kung Fu" already knew that being a vegan, atheist who follows the path of the buddha can reach enlightenment.
All kidding aside, what does a vegetarian atheist have to say? Stick around and you'll find out! Politically I'm rather liberal, but I do like to listen to staunch conservative talk show host Michael Savage (real name 'Wiener') so I'll probably be mentioning him from time to time in my weblogs. So for now, how about some talk of broccoli, carrots and peas? Recipe's anyone??

"As mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality."
