Like I said, you don't have a clue.   :rolleyes:
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Yes, I do.  We have a debt ceiling which means there is a limit on the amount of debt, borrowed money, that can be spent.  Now that is the same as you having a charge card with a debt limit and not being able to exceed it because it would give you more debt than you had the ability to pay back.  Well, you decide you want to increase your spending even though it isn't within your budget and it's more than your debt ceiling, credit card limit, is too low.  Well, nothing left to do but increase your debt limit, (ceiling), on your credit card which still doesn't give you more money it just increases your debt, makes your payments higher to the lender and increases your interest and therefore it makes your budget go completely out of whack.  You cannot borrow yourself out of debt or spend your way out of it.  Whats so hard to comprehend about that?

Good, stick to something you're good at.  If FB would let me grow weed in Farmville and sell it in Mafia Wars, I could handle my budget problem without raising my debt ceiling.   :biggrin:

I'd settle for letting my NY operations fund my Moscow and Cuban operations right now!  :biggrin:

It's always darkest before the dawn.  So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

With the help of Katrina and 9/11 and a couple of other bad hurricanes and some forest fires.  So far there have been no sizable disasters for this administration to deal with.  Ya'll keep forgetting to include those little disasters among the expenditures of the former administration.

Yep, we needed all that money spent on the unlawful invasion of iraq and unconstitutional searches of US citizens.  Sorry, I was so wrong.

You also left out Bush's proposed bank/insurance company bailout of $700B, which is more than triple the cost of Katrina.
