He makes a good point. If they can't find $10 Billion Dollars to pay for something everyone wants, then they'll never pay for anything.

Ironically, never paying for anything is the Obama plan.

Yeah, it is really good to finally see Rappy and "Hero" come clean and admit that the wars were horrible ideas and completely unjustified, unnecessary, and unfunded, and that we never should have undertaken either of them. That shows real growth.

Where'd the money come from for the F-22 program, anyway? How about Medicare Part D? How was that paid for?

I agree with your position, but you seemed to think that the suffering of the unemployed was merely a political pretext and not real in any way. And that to portray it as real suffering was somehow unfair or untrue.

Please tell me you really did not think that I was making fun of un-employed people and their families. If so, then I suppose I need to bolster-up on my writing skills. Nothing could be further from the truth...in fact, if I didn't care about these people I would not have even bothered to write to the Bunning defender about it. And yes, there is a political element to it as well, but I only used that to help drive home the point to a person who would not address the human side to this action, by trying at least for him to understand the potential political fallout from Bunning's stance.

No worries, Jongs - *I* got what you were driving at, and completely agree. It's pathetic and sad (the unemployed being made to suffer more), and yes, it damn well WILL be used in campaign commercials to try to gain a political advantage.

But that shouldn't surprise anyone. We've seen Republicans try to cash in on the deaths of thousands of 9/11 victims, on the attempted bombing of airliners, and anything else they think they can play to their advantage.

Feel free to call me an idiot. I focused on one little thing and didn't get the big picture.

My apologies. I'll try to not do that in the future.
