Your tax dollars at work fighting terrorism.
"A 21-page draft of a new report by Democrats on Congress' Joint Economic Committee obtained by the AP estimates that the Iraq and Afganistan wars have cost the average U.S. family of four more than $20,000"
Language is interesting. You can use the word "terror", in any phrase like "war on terror" or "terrorist" and suddenly all things are possible; torture, ignoring the constitution, privacy, unitary power instead of balance of power, dumb wild assed spending (see title above) and so on.
Regrettably, another bug-a-boo word is "taxes", taxes being as bad as terrorists are since like terrorists apparently, "taxes are killing us". The reality is there is not a community, from the most primitive to the most advanced, that does not require some form of resource pooling and sharing in order to survive as a community. Taxes are our method of maintaining the community we call the USA. However it is not taxes or even terrorists that are killing us as a nation, it is mismanagement and corruption, not only corruption in the form of $$$ but the corruption of ideas.
I do not believe that GG supports Ron Paul but rather he supports the level of debate that Ron brings and that level of debate may be a hope for escaping the current corrupting mismanagement of blood, funds, information and ideas.
