The beginning digits have remained the same, as have the overall number of digits. I'm not quite sure what you're going for here, but I figured I'd help give your thread a jump start.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oh, no, my friend. No indeed. This is a GOOD thing. It's the evolutionary process at work. The weak will be culled, and the strong will survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to begin debating with you the war on Iraq as that has been debated for the last 8 years. What I do know is that difficult decisions were made that may have been right or wrong but I personally don't think either party would have acted differently. Of course since they probably say they would've (since it's easy to speak when you're not in that position), then i'll take your word for it and say it's Bush's fault.

Probably 25% with recent increases to entitlements and the war. Still the biggest factor to our economy is run by someone no one elects and that's the Fed Reserve.

Still the biggest factor to our economy is run by someone no one elects and that's the Fed Reserve. Cutting taxes during expensive wars is not fiscally responsible. Relaxing regulations on financial corporations is not being responsible. Those were both done by Bush and the Repub Congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Article III Section I: The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The Judges, both of the supreme and inferior Courts, shall hold their Offices during good Behavior, and shall, at stated Times, receive for their Services a Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office.
