And then there is this.

And while one can quibble about water boarding, as in, no, I would rather we not engage in the tactic and agree with its cessation (although I also would like to point out that I wish it had not been necessary to water board a few terrorists who brought this on themselves after they escalated a low scale war into a grand one by incinerating 3000 of our citizens and no, I do not think it is wise to investigate the previous administration).

Anyway, it gets really crazy in C. Rich liberal land when he responds to G. Will's article on CA's imploding economy.

don't you ever get tired of being wrong? the California problem is due to the foolishness of the voters...who will not allow enough tax $ to pay for basic services like most Publicans you want the poor, the elderly, the uneducated to pay for the mistakes of the middle class voters...the same people who need 50 inch tvs but need to put it on their credit card. loveRM


So our problem is we just don't tax and spend on government services enough? Because if the CA citizenry would have been stupid enough to cough up the taxes to pay for their social boondoggle, the liberals would have said...great...done. We are not growing government any more. Earth...Rich...Hello?

And ummm....C. Rich, the folks who pay the taxes, you know, the top 5% who pay 70%? They Generally are not the ones who put their stuff on cards they cannot afford (nor purchase unaffordable houses). They are the folks showing up to town meetings.

We cannot afford our promised safety net, not as designed. This is not longer debatable and now clearly a matter of fiscal survival. At some point we have to stop. Or I guess in your world, not? Where is a good bond ghoul when you need one.

I await C. Rich's response and will post it ASAP.

Love, Jim G.
