You don't have any money. They're taking my money and doing what I want them to in Iraq.

Aren't you the same guy who doesn't want troops in Iraq?
But you're complaining about contractor pay?
Would you do that job for $5.25?

Ron Paul says lots of things that are untrue.
If the trend continues, not being able to pay for it was not one of his falsities, however.

Really?
Is it?
I'm no supporter of The War as I'm sure you know. But I question that economic argument. No doubt it is a hellaciously expensive undertaking and the money could be better spent in a myriad of other ways. But I find it hard to believe that The War is costing so much that we would bankrupt ourselves trying to continue it.

Ahh, but Ron Paul never said that the Iraqi War, in and of itself, would bankrupt this country. The Iraqi War is simply the straw that broke the camel's back.

It's always strong when we don't even make a cursory effort at paying back the budget deficit or national debt. It's like the little kid who covers his head with a blanket because if he pretends the monster isn't there, it isn't.

Another one all twisted in knots over the national debt. It's not that big a deal.

Its not a big deal if our country is stable, if we're perceived as "good for it" by those we are in debt to. Its looking like that isn't a direction we'll continue to head in until we have some effective reforms in policy...
Which is why Obama's the man.
