They will be able to pay for it too with the gutting they are doing on the SNAP program today. Hopefully the Senate will reduce this to yet one more instance of the Republicans wasting America's time bringing up shit in the house that WILL NEVER PASS SENATE... Or is it just that they keep finding a lamp on the beach and making wishes?
Whatever, the idiots that elected this R congress are getting fucked out of their eye teeth.

The KEY POINT the REPUBLICANS dont get is that the system DOES NOT WORK.

But that has never stopped Republicans in the past on spending billions or even trillions of dollars, remember Star Wars?

I disagree... I think they know all too well that they have stalled congress and where the dumb as a fucking post part comes in is that they think people can't see what they're doing.

You don't have to go back that far anymore, effendi. Remember Iraq?
Cutting the leevee maintenance programme to provide funds for that didn't do New Orleans any favours, iirc.

one of the first dilbert cartoon had him building a star wars from a 1.98 cracker jack box plan and the caption was something about savng billions for an equally effective plan. Why not just build some rubber band catapaults and call it a day...equal effectiveness in blind testing. Iwish I could find the cartoon

Remember the USSR? LMAO



Moonhead -> RE: Republicans demand 5 billion dollar unwanted new base (5/10/2012 1:22:30 PM)

That was the last time the GOP could claim that they had an excuse for flagrant and insane overspending on "military" projects that serve no purpose.
It's notable that the collapse of the soviet union didn't stop that, and the first guy they had in power after the fall was definitely beyond doubt still went pissing away money your country couldn't afford to waste like that still served some purpose in this century...

Remember the BUDGET DEFICITS under saint Ronald? And the simple fact that the USSR was not defeated by Saint Ronald. The USSR collapsed under a system that could not work, and the PEOPLE got tired of it.

Gorbachev started the reforms and it was not because of Saint Ronald.


The Republicans are complete idiots for making this claim.

The USSR collapsed because it's people got a taste of cheap, imported consumer goods.


Sound familiar?

The KEY POINT that BOTH SIDES don't get is that the system DOES NOT WORK.

You don't honestly believe this is a one sided argument....do you?
