What's Rumsfeld doing with his free time?

Don't worry...I can take anything dished out here.

Happy New Year

Lets see if this is correct(calculator is not working).....
From www.costofwar.com, my city will owe $112mil.

Divided by 150,000 population brings my personal tax total owed to $746,000.

At $6 after taxes, that's about 124,000 work hours working directly for Cheney's Haliburton......not including interest.

Who am I working for? Why the Red Chinese, whom the debt was borrowed from.
Happy New Year comrade.

Since we are spending less as a percentage of GDP than during portions of the Carter or Clinton administration...why did you wait till now to whine about it? By your definition, you have been working for the Chinese or Japanese your entire life.

[nostatic]

The Chinese didn't own our debt until now...

Seems like good strategy to me...sort of a financial Mutually Assured Destruction. They screw with us too much..we go bankrupt and ruin them...they wouldn't dare launch a nuke at us...they would destroy their own property.

[nostatic]

we go bankrupt and ruin them. Yeah, good stragtegy. It won't ruin them...they have the capital and the resources. The one that gets ruined is the US.

And launch a nuke at us? Why, how 1980's of you...good to know that our gov. scenarios have moved with the times

[svandamme]

stop worrying about the bomb.

Going bankrupt would not ruin us...it would only keep us from getting new credit from them...which is a good thing. LOL

Nukes are still scary. We both still have plenty. Ahh, but we were only concerned about the Russkies in the 80's. Their guidance systems would not allow the Chinese to actually hit us with an ICBM until the 90's when the Clinton administration sold them an accurate system.

funny and deluded = sassy

its all the rage these days

Wasn't that what happened to the Soviet Union?

[john70t]

Fint- it is so funny, hilarious, to see right-wing wackos supporting the selling out of America to a communist entity as a patriotic thing.
Talk about short-term memory loss! What have you been snorting?

The next day, and week, and month, etc.. that I will spend working in direct indentured servitude for the service of a connected Texas corporation, I'll think about my "whining", and my rumbling stomach.

When oil is sold primarily in Euros on the world market, international interest in the dollar will make it go the way of the peso.

Hey......

If you guys are looking for well thought out ideas and political insights....

Are YOU in the wrong place!!

[nostatic]

ni hao ma?

[fintstone]

Duh? Didn't ending the sentence with "LOL" clue you in it was a joke? Sheesh.

[Moneyguy1]

fint:

With all due respect, sometimes your "LOL' appears to be laughing at and ridiculing someone's post, not a sign of humor....That is indeed the problem with words on a screen. No facial expressionas no body language.

[fintstone]

Frankly, anyone that would think that a joke calling bankruptcy a good thing and a way to achieve "mutually assured destruction" is serious... must be joking themselves. They certainly cannot be serious.

[nostatic]

well, if you put that spin on all your posts, everything makes much more sense. all is right (or left) with the world...

[fintstone]

Static...now I am really worried.....I though you were the only liberal getting my jokes

[fintstone]

I mean...do these guys really think the US can do a chapter 11/13?
