World Trade Center was attacked 1993. Tim Mcveah (Sp) Oklahoma City Bombing, terrorist attacks are not unprecidented, which is sad. However it is my view that attacking Iraq was stupid, lack of better word. I understand Afghanistan, but not Iraq. I am glad only took President Obama 3 years to get Bin Lauden. Military spending accounts for more than a 25% of the budget, which is the largest part of the budget. I know we need that military base in England, instead of teaching our kids how to read and write, that is the logic you are making correct. In fact I would bet if you are from South Eastern Kentucky, which I am very proud to be of, your public school has received Title I money, for just that of reading and math, do you disagree with this? The probably received ADA money as well to make sure that handicapped children have the same access as regular education students. I will gladly stand up for that.

Now, who was President during TARP? I mean we could not blame congress it is all the President's fault right? How did we get into the crisis of the S&L...deregulation...so lets all do it again because it worked so well for us the first time. Hence the Romney plan!

Lets have a little talk... its where I speak, and you listen. A monologue, not so much of a dialogue. So... ready? doubtful.. but I don't really care.

1)Military spending as a total of the budget for 2012 accounted for 24%, entitlements (ss and medicare) totaled 44%. Next year, both social security and medicare will outspend defense, individually. When welfare is included, add another 12%. This brings total entitlement spending to 56%. The terrorist attacks were UNPRECIDENTED! 3000 people dead, billions upon billions lost, millions of jobs lost, an economy that nearly crashed. National symbols known across the world destroyed. An act of war from an entire fringe of a religion. 4 Airplanes crashed as missles. Members of 50+ nations, religions, ideas dead! A nation brought to a standstill.... WAR... PATRIOT ACT... It wasn't win a car bomb did minimal damage in the 93 WTC attack that our national anthem was played in countless countries, or billions of dollars flowed in from across the world in charity. You are so far off base with your thinking, that I doubt anything said makes since to you. But will resonate easily throughout the rest of BGR. You my child, are an exception.
2)I don't care what you're view on Iraq and Afghanistan was. I was there. I saw the difference it made and the looks of hope in the eyes of the children and one of the stories that effects me the most is seeing lady who much have been in her 90's, come to me... fall to her knees and kiss my feet. So, go ahead and tell her (you compassionate liberal you!), that she didn't deserve the freedom we gave her.
3)The base in england costs approximately the same amount as it would here. And, it was from there that Gahdaffi's regime was struck hard after there acts of terror. Let me guess, you didn't support that? It was also a launching point for bombing runs in the early afghan war which you 'supported'. Further, the education budget has never been higher and teachers have never been paid more.... Wars in afghanistan and Iraq affected this presidents spending ZERO. Under Obama the budget for education has went from 36 billion to 71 billion. not counting the supplemental funding to education from the "stimulus" bill, of 190 billion. And while we're at it, the president expanded the war in afghanistan with ZERO results.. costing billions. And as someone just recently said, if Obama hadn't gave the loans to the 3-4 major corps that went bankrupt, he could have hired the 100,000 math and science teachers he is now wanting. In fact, if he hadn't gave the 'green energy' a check for 90billion, he could have hired 2 MILLION new teachers.
4)I didn't attend public school. However, I will say that you're right... it did recieve federal funding, but not a dime less than it would have had we not being fighting two wars.
5)The president was Bush, a RINO. The congress that sent him a veto proof bill was a democratic congress, who's democrats voted in much higher % in favor than the republicans who rejected it in the house. The SL crisis was funded by Democrats once again. Remember who said, "The house has the power of the purse?" You're lovely Princess Pelosi.
6)And ADA money.. blah. For the most part I don't support ADA. And I'm DISABLED. Its intent is worthy and honorable, however, its application isn't practical. For instance, in a public office building, elevators are typically required for its workers. Even small ones. This is a waste of funding, because the office for the 1 or 2 handicapped individuals could be moved downstairs instead of installing a 300,000 dollar elevator.

Look, you better come at me with something more than the rhetoric you posted. It does nothing to advance your cause, unless your cause is make yourself look uneducated and bolster my view that public schools are failing us with their RECORD dollars. Eitherway, you have a lot to learn about who I am, what I know, and how quickly I'll shut you up. And if you aren't learning it now, stay tuned... and you'll have a degree in Reaganology before you know it.

Pathetic.
