Out,no way we dig ourselves out until the deficit is addressed. And that problem hasn't been addressed. And probably won't be for some time.Only one man's opinion. But I do have for different friends with small bussinesses in different parts of the country and they all are hurting with no end in sight.And these businesses were doing well. I'm sure 9/11 had an effect, but no improvement is not a good sign.
Look around.. Where I live new home construction is going up everywhere. The line at Micky D's is 10 cars long, the video store has 8 people in each line, the bars are loaded with drunks, most eat out 3-4 times a week, our poor are the fattest in the world. Sure we need to get the deficit under control, now we must win the war and it's not cheap. What's amusing is liberals never cared much about the deficit now they do.
Pretty hard not to have a sluggish economy when you combine the stock market falter that occurred right before he took over, followed by 9/11 and now a costly war that he felt was necessary based off the intelligence he had.Judge Wapner said:

Attacking Iraq. Believing Chalabi to be a reliable source. Alienating long-standing allies. Giving non-allies good reason to urgently soup-up their armaments. Stubbornly standing by the policy-makers like Rumsfeld who undoubtedly should be forced to resign. Putting undue stress on your economy with the deadly combination of deep tax cuts and unprecedented military spending. Inviting religiosity back into the White House. Refusing to acknowledge or explain even the smallest of mistakes, leading to an increased divide in your country between those who believe him and those who don't.
Thanks for the responses fellas. One was a well done response that I was looking for just so I can try and understand the other side a little bit. I don't agree with a lot of it but can respect most of it. I will break it down point by point on Sunday night or Monday morning. Too many boozes to look at it properly tonight. One response was flat out not productive at all and the other pretty much equally so. I will point out which is which Sunday night or Monday morning. Going to be out of town tomorrow watching the beloved Huskers play, although they suck about as bad as Kerry. Alright that was a low blow which is not this threads intent but like I said quite a few booze cans tonight
Hopefully there are many more points for me to consider when I get back. Good night all.

Before I sign off, I will say there is some validity to this statement by Panda for sure, and I think a better job could have been done in this regard and I do think it will be addressed properly and quickly if another term is given and hopefully Kerry would make an effort to do the same on the off chance he were to win. It is important, although it may be nearly impossible.

Actually this one can be addressed now. Does it make any sense to anyone? I can't even understand what he is talking about. If talking about them striking in the first place, well it is hard to stop what happened 9/11. All we can do is what Bush is doing. Everything to stop it from happening again the best way he knows how.JinnRikki said:How about that? How about doing something/anything about that. And no, going on vacation doesn't count.
I will go ahead and address this one also. It is another post I was hoping to avoid in this thread as it has no credibility IMO. Although, directly the answer could be no, Saddam was in possesion, as far as we knew(and voted for in an overwhelming manner in Senate), of WOMD. We did take down a good chunk of El Quada also. Once one group attacked us it is a war on everyone that is a threat to ever attack us again. You have to at least respect him for doing what he thought was necessary to avoid any other attacks, do you not? The people that don't are the people I have the biggest problem with.Benassflick said:
