staga... as I have said.. wars get paid for social programs just grow. the cold war was very expensive but you will note that it was allmost paid for by the time klinton took power... The democrats have the highest effect on debt in the long run.

You sure are right with that one: Chart clearly shows how Dems have been keeping your debts low while Rebs have been borrowing money from left and right; money your kids need to pay back.

the chart shows no such thing. the greatest debt we have is social security. this is a democratic program that was put in place more than a half a century ago... the next biggest debt is welfare.... another democratic debt that haunts our children and causes even more debt every year...

What would you say was the cause of the debt the Repulicans incurred?

a rep admin saves the arse of a handsomehunkcrat one just about everytime as the dem ride the wave created by the previous admin (when rep) to the crest and bails just at the start of the crash ...

please tell us what Bush should have done instead of what he did to stop the recession before it went into a depression??

raised taxes??/ yeah, that would have done wonders... maybe tax the airline industry at the close of '01 to pay for another useless social program...

funny how no one mentions euro politics, unless they cave to terrorists, on this board... must stink to envy a country as great as America as some do here on a daily basis...

eagler... I believe that stagas point is that we need higher taxes and more social programs rather than wars.

We could have come out even better in WWII I suppose if we would have stayed out longer. Vietnam was expesnsive but they are both payed for now... iraq will be paid for soon enough too and..... without raising taxes... unless of course... we elect kerrie and he adds a bunch of socialist giveaways and bleeds the wealthy job creators.

Exactly Lazs - Pretty much everything up to 45% or so is due to DNC created programs.
Still, the GOP has had both houses and the White House for 4 years and spending still goes up. Which is why I'm not voting for them.

LOL

you think skerry and his gang would spend less???

or do you just want to pay more taxes? you can pay mine if you want to pay more ...

and paying more will not reduce anything, as laz states it would just help fund more laz dem social programs - free food, free housing, free medical .... key word = "FREE" - free to those who receive them as they do not contribute to pay the taxes that funds them.. the spending would continue as it isgoing to Iraq and post 9/11 security (though the dems would cut that b4 they put a dem voter to work and cut their free ride...)

thought it was great when skerry said he did not want/need Bushs tax cut, Bush should have given him the addy to the IRS in Atlanta right there and then - LOL

Eagler I'm not voting for Kerry, he would make the problems even worse.

lazs2 · « **Reply #26 on:** October 03, 2004, 02:46:12 PM »

coffee... what percentage of the overall debt do you attribute to the commie socialist programs? What part do social security and welfare play in the debt?

The repulicans go with a strong military and the dems go with giveaway commie socialist programs... the difference is that the dems ask for more money from us to pay for em and their programs haunt us, our children and our childrens children.

I just look at the graph and well, there it is. And BTW, social security is fine so long as they dont overspend as to be not able to afford it. Alot of people retire and depend on their social security. Remember the graphs of % of taxpayers between wealthy and poor, most people are not wealthy. However the wealthy decisionmakers are the ones making the decisions that would cut into the poors social security.

If a couple makes $100k, and the wife spends $100k, and the husband spends $50k, who is responsible for the $50k debt?

MrCoffee · « **Reply #29 on:** October 03, 2004, 02:56:10 PM »

I'll admit that social security should be optional nowadays. It was great during the 40s and helped the masses to believe in their gov a little more post the 30s. Today however, there are better ways to invest in your retirement plan. Unless someone messes that up also.
