rakedog said:The deficit was positive in 2000.
Hahahah.. what a joke. Do you have really any idea what you are talking about? The deficit started to appear before Bush even passed his first budget.
Yes they are...
No they aren't.
Blah blah blah.. Democrats have run this state for too long for you to blame it all on them. If you hate the way that democrats run this state, move out. Because they're staying.
The people who have been in the state government are the one to blames. I put Arnold into power, and unlike you people, he supports action and a plan that is workable.
We shouldn't be in Iraq in the first place. That has been my stance for-ever. And when the fuck did I say I didn't support our troops. Stop messing with my words. Our troops, now that they're there because of Bush, need all the support they can get.
We had to be in Iraq. It was proper and right. You will never change my opinion on that. Thank goodness leftists as yourself do not run foreign policy, because Saddam would be murdering and raping people. You are the one messing with my words. They are there because it is right, and the ideas of people as yourself were rejected.
Yeah. 8,000 for undergrads in Berkeley. Great price...
That's a very low price to pay. It is $1,389 for undergrads in CSUN. Not much more in UCSD. So kiss my rear end. I would take more fee increases to pay for what I get. You are too young to really understand the facts. You know how much they charge in the state of Virginia for undergrads in a state university? $15,000-$20,000. Virginia's education system is stable and excellent.
Last year, our school system almost lost it's library. Our computers are from 98 - 99. Our health textbooks are 11 years old. Our sports fee's go up every year. Our lunch fee's go up every year.
Well you have to pay for everything you get. You have to realize what austerity is. You have to start paying for things you get. Not everything comes on a silver platter. I'm sorry, but the wounds in this state are deep and they will sting. Also CSUN has built many new buildings, and launched WiFI throughout campus I think two years ago.. our computers are constantly upgraded... we actually have to pay for our textbooks. PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET. OR PAY MORE TAXES.
Dude, stop repeating the same thing. You've already mentioned this.. Bush isn't a hero because of this, and our economy isn't saved. Stop repeating the same fact....
Our economy isn't saved? You're hopeless. Do you even know how an economy works? The economy is growing solidly. This is solid growth and the economy has remained resislent. You are the one repeating the same nescient things that just don't add up. Bush is a good president.
By war money, I mean the fact that a couple weeks ago, bush asked for 81 (i think) billion dollars for the wars we're fighting. Now, if we weren't there in the first place...
Now if we weren't there in the first place.. boohoo... go take your peace activism elsewhere. That's not actually how the world works. And Iraq is one thing.. Afghanistan? You are disputing our mission there? How dare you! We were there rightfully and I will not have my mind changed by some 15 year old guy who has yet to experience this world. $81 billion yes. You know why? Because we are doing a rightful mission in both Iraq and Afghanistan. We are spreading freedom!
And if you don't think the Arab people are not capable of freedom, screw you.
LEBANON!
THEY MARCHED AND THEY BROUGHT DOWN THEIR GOVERNMENT! AND THEY WILL GET THE SYRIANS OUT!
I think every people throughout the middle east is capable of democracy.... hell.. because of Bush's war in Iraq, and the subsequent election.. more and more people throughout the middle east want their freedoms.
So you know what? Bush policy in the region have brought a revolution of positive change.
