    Wait a minute...are you saying the wealthy are responsible for the lerge debt? Seriously? Please tell me you are not making that statement.

    Yeah, the Pinkertons. They really ambushed those poor striking steel workers at Homestead didn't they?

    Btw, which global banking conspiracy website did you get that picture off of?

    Maybe this one: http://www.silverbearcafe.com/private/02.10/monetaryconspir.html

    And, do you really want to make the argument that Rockefeller, Carnegie, Vanderbilt, and Morgan were a net negative in our nation's history? In our nation's growth, development, tradition of innovation?

    Dude, you're the one who took the debate back 200 years, not me.

    And, it covers a lot more than our agrarian past. It encompasses the industrial revolution as well.

    Hey, a newbie's already picked up on a nickname for me. Awesome newbie.

    Do you have any anti-Jew theories you can share with the class?

    That's where you usually end up after you scratch the surface with your type.

    Aren't polls showing that something like 2/3 of people favor a bill that mixes cuts with increased revenue? That's been my impression. The field isn't set where you find it, it's set by public opinion (which, of course, is fluid). So if you go by public opinion, the 50-yard line is ... pretty much the 50-yard line, although all-in-all, I would think people would favor more cuts than tax raises. And that's probably only true until they see how the cuts effect them.

    You speak from your ambition to be a warlord?

    Unless everything is on a card now (which I hope they are...it has been awhile since I have dealt with people on food stamps) they can get change for a $1 food stamp. I used to work at a convenience store a long time ago and people would do this all the time...send in their kids to buy something cheap with a $1 food stamp, then come in and buy cigarettes or alcohol and pay in change. If this cannot happen anymore I am thrilled.
