I will eliminate all foreign aid to the middle east in one year if the isralis and palestinians can't get their stuff together.


You want to guarentee more sept. 11 2001 style attacks? Do that. If the US ended foreign aid (by that I mean properly managed and thought out strategies) you'd see a real uprising in anti-US sentiment, and radicalised beliefs.

Let's not forget that the US wouldn't exist if it weren't for French Foreign aid in the War for Independance (The Brits surrendered to the French. Something you need to look up in history book, not depend on myths or movies for).

Social Security? Bye Bye Bye. Anyone born after 2020 will have to go on forced savings when they turn 17 and start earning any kind of paycheck. What they save is what they will get when they turn 65. They can hold it in any multitude of ways.


How about doing something that is not going to make banks offer even lower savings interest rates?

If the proposed system that Dubya has put forward is pushed through, your retirement savings will pretty much be principle, because banks will get your money no matter what, and you'll have to take their interest rates. even if you decide to invest it, you're not guarenteed anything.

How's about listening to Greenspan:
- Reform Social Security from being a Gov't slush fund in minimal market return fund to an actual growth fund so it will at least beat inflation.
- Remove mandatory retirement, people should be able to work as long as they want.

Quote:


Military? Well, I would ask South Korea if they NEED or WANT our troops there. Most likely I would close the base there and send the remaining troops to Japan or Guam.


Ummm.. I would hazard a guess that if South Korea didn't want the US there, they'd say so.

Quote:


Germany? bye. I'll go to other countries that want to be friendly to the US such as Poland.


Sure, run military spending up untold billions more by pulling up stakes, and lose an incredibly lucrative partnership for cross-training with fmr Soviet troops and equipment.

BTW, Poland withdrew (not rotated out... remember that) from Iraq. Just like Spain, Just like Italy... most of the rest of european nations have been tepidly supportive or outright hands-off.

Read before you make an assinine comment like Poland is now your greatest European friend..

Interesting. Give up on Iraq? Would this be the same mrgto that not 2 years ago was thumping the war drums? Could it be? You've finally realised the utter stupidity of going in in the first place?

Hey, now that you're in, you're in. You're not turning tail and running like a coward because of a few unneccessary deaths.

I had said it was a better idea to not go into Iraq in the first place, but now that your president has screwed that pooch and committed your country to at least 10-15 years of duty in Iraq, you get to stay. Sorry, but you elected him and his cronies, you get to deal with the fall out.

Quote:


Just few of the things I would do...

Oh, close the boarders for the most part or at least ENFORCE the laws of the nation. I might just take a 1/8th mile from the US board and plant land mines and then have a nice big fence. If you think you can make it across, you get to stay. If you don't then you'll be meeting your maker. Simple uh?


Which border?

If you want to pull a jingoist/isolationist stunt like that, you're pretty much GUARANTEEING the economic fall of the USA.

Like it or not, the American people have to live with the f-ed up decisions of their President. For better or for worse.

1. OBL said we were attacked on 9/11 for having troops on the ground in Saudi Arabia and for supporting Isreal. Yup, end aid to Isreal and Palestine and Egypt. They can all fend for themselves. They don't need OUR money. Canada can feel free to support them. Sounds good to you right?

2. I know all about the French help 225 years ago. how does that relate to this discussion? Oh right, it doens't.

3. Uh, you're never going to make any kind of significant money by having it in Savings accounts. However, it won't DEPRECIATE and it won't be borrowed by the federal gov't.

4. Some in the South Korean Gov't want us out and want reunification. If that is what they want...so be it.

5. Uh, moving to another country from Germany wouln't cost much as the host country would be willing(and that is already documented) to fit the bill on most of the costs. BTW, we aren't talkign about the support in Iraq, I am talkign about having a permenant US base on their soil. It only helps their economy.

6. I am talking about closing the boarders to ILLEGALS. Illegals that suck more money out of the US in forms of health care and sending money to Mexico than they contribute in cheap labor. Also PROVEN.

Why are you SPEAKING for the AMERICAN PEOPLE? When you're an american citizen, please, feel free. Until then let us make our own decision and worry about your country and it's economic future...

1: Interesting, you don't want to pull troops from Saudi Arabia.. (there are no US troops in Israel or Palestine, you're only heavily favouring Israel inspite of them ghetto-ising Muslim owned areas) So in other words, huck Iraq and the mess made there right? You're doing nothing.

2: Interesting, you know history but don't grasp it. Without France, the US would still be part of Britain, without help now, developing nations will still be nothing. Are you myopic or do you honestly think history doesn't repeat itself?

3: The Gov't is on the hook for the money either way. At least by keeping a Social Security deduction, the money itself can be managed by government officials that can't take the money, and keep their jobs by making sure it beats inflation year over year.

4. Okay, show me the current Democratic Republic of Korea's current vote on that issue. Ante up a few opinion polls. There are still people that want the fmr Confederate States to separate and be their own slave owning union, should they be allowed to just up and do that?

5. And it does nothing for the US forces. Why expend MORE money to close one base, get another spun up and built, move all the stuff over, and lose the big honking advantage of a country that has the only West/Warsaw pact blended military, and also has the advantage of having personell there that worked with both militaries.

I'm starting to doubt your credentials as a "war president."

6. funny, I thought those land mines on the 8th of mile border (which you still haven't defined) pop whether you're a wet-back or pecker-wood. Here's a question, do you honestly think that you're going to find workers for all those jobs that illegals are filling?

I speak as a critical thinking person that looks at the utter foolishness of the statements you've been making, one half wondering how much imbecility has filled your mind and one half trying not to laugh at you.

The isolationist ideals haven't worked. *EVER* WWII proved that, WWI proved that.

Just incase you missed it, Canada's economy is tied to the USA's, and vice-versa.

The idea that the USA can get along just fine as it is if it just minds it's own business and not pay out a nickle nor dime in help is fantasy. The US would fall apart inside of 10 years if that happened. You couldn't get enough oil to help your own industry stand on its own 2 feet, and from there, everything would collapse. The world would keep going, but then again, jingo's don't get the idea that we're better as a group than we are as individuals.

When you're not thinking that Americans need only Americans to survive and realise that without international trade, the US is bound for failure (just like Russia, but I suspect a more spectacular downfall), and that other people's opinions and thoughts matter... feel free to respond.

Sorry, but as President I have to look out for the constitution of the United States. You can't FATHOM the responsibility of that.

The isolationist ideals haven't worked. *EVER* WWII proved that, WWI proved that.
I am not advocating being a isolationist country. Time for other countries to step up and take some lead on different things.

Oh I know, so the Canuks better step up and make stuff happen to either help or be hurt.

We couldn't get enough oil uh? So for countries to stop selling to us would not only hurt us but hurt them. Biting the hand that feeds you, great idea. But of course I agree wtih that and that is the reason we are not whiping out the Saudi royal family and their gov't. I understand the politics of it all.

Okay, in regards to Iraq, No one "turned" to the US, Dubya went into where others had more sense to stay the hell out of. The USA gets the S#!% end of the stick because of motivation. And you don't always get the S#!% end of the stick... stop playing Martyr.

Having gumption to do something is one thing, but, having the sense not to is something totally different.

So in other words... YOU SAID they must SAVE that money. They may not invest anywhere.

Care to extricate your foot from your mouth to tell me that I didn't read what you were saying there Chief?

Seems pretty cut and dry that you only get your appointed "SAVINGS" at whatever interest rate the banks/Gov't decides to deal out. Not investment mentioned there cochise... Maybe you'd like to rephrase.

The US is part of the UN... what part of that don't you get?

And if you hadn't read half of the links, they want US troops out because of the Dipstick you elected AGAIN fomenting trouble with the north. Did you even read 2 of those links?

If you had, you'd have also found out that they were from over 2 years ago, or relating to happenings/editorials from over 2 years ago. Not entirely quick on the uptake?

No, you are advocating it, calm down and read half the drivel you've posted and tell me how you're not advocating becoming Isolationist.

Let me give you the highlights:
- ceasing foreign aid
- ceasing operations to secure Iraq and protect Saudi Arabia.
- mining the border (still haven't elaborated on that one)

Seems to me to be pretty isolationist... then again, I don't know what you'd think of the novel 1984.

Sure, cut trade with Canada and everyother nation and see how fast jobs drop off, and how secure your fantasy position would be.

Would it hurt them? Not really.. China will take up any slack... emerging economies do that. You don't get the politics of it at all...

Saudi Royal family is about as noble as the Bush family.

we'll be having this same discussion 4 years from now all over again if that hell would come to pass.

personally I'd like to see Howard Dean leave his spot as the Democratic Party Chairman and run independent with Nader or someone else. 1 incident blown out of proportion in the first caucus of the election sealed his fate, when all he really did in effect was hold a pep rally that happened to end up on national TV.

but if not Dean (which it won't be) then probably Clinton.

and as for last president that actually cared about the good of the American people, this was before my time, but Kennedy? I'd say in history probably Kennedy, FDR, Lincoln would have to top that list.

That's funny.. UN Security Council didn't seem to think there was a problem with keeping Hussein Contained. Last I checked, The UN's Sec. General doesn't have perview over the findings of that area.

Seems that you're also side-stepping the reason the US used to go into Iraq in the first place... how drole.

The US didn't have the consensus of the UN, nor the support of the UN. David Koresh took up arms against the Dragon, and he had the bible behind him... See the difference? Not all Chrisitans rallied behind him, just like the UN didn't rally behind the US/UK. We've had this discussion before. I'm up for going around and around, because hey, Hindsight is 20/20 and your president still hasn't won the war on terrorism... why not start with the war on Botchelism? It kills more people per year than terrorism ever did.

Good luck. You don't know crap about politics, do you?

The same reason ENRON and WorldCom were able to implode is because of "creative Accounting." The same lax rules have been in place for over 50 years.

Overhaul the Tax system? End Corporate welfare? The same people that want to put you and every other senator/Congressperson in office are going to frown on that.

Very unpolitic.

How's about instead of posting a link to a board I don't belong to, why not save the trouble, and post the meat of the link?

Or, how about posting something from an official government source, NGO, or heck, even a news source.

Besides, if there's a friendly government in Iraq, why not relocate there?

Where exactly did I excuse Canada from not giving enough?

The US gives less than 1% of its GDP (it's .04% as of 2003 IIRC) as Aid. Canada, dollar for dollar can't match, but as percentage, we're at .6% as of 2004.

If you think that you can defeat terrorism with guns and boots, you're dead wrong. Most people just want to keep their families fed, clothed and sheltered in the rest of the world. If they don't have a job to put food on the table, they'll do whatever they have to including illegal things because a kid that's hungry doesn't care about morality.

The US gives less than 1% of its GDP (it's .04% as of 2003 IIRC) as Aid. Canada, dollar for dollar can't match, but as percentage, we're at .6% as of 2004.

factor in that canadian exchange rate, and that drops it down to .4% =)[

Which is still ten times the US's expenditure.

.4% > .04%

my friend's father is very close to the clinton family. hilary is definitely, without a doubt, running for president in 2008.

Its most likely going to be Hillary vs Jeb Bush at which point im not sure who id vote for. hillary wold be good because i like bill and having him as the First Man (i guess thats what hed be) would be more like a sitcom than a presidency. and since im from florida, i like jeb too. so im still up in the air. and remember its over 3 years away. plenty of time for someone to seriously f**k up
