Re: The almighty Dollar
Add to that 7 trillion thecosts of the Global Poverty Act spopnsored by Obama that will commit the US to an additional .7% of GDP approximately $845 billion annually in more foreign aid. The Act also commits the US to the millennium development goals set by the UN which include banning small arms and weapons, ratifying a series of treaties including the International Criminal Court treaty, the Kyoto protocol, the Convention on Biological Diversity. |

Yes, but you won't be spending $400B every two weeks in Iraq. So Obama's plan is cheaper.
Nice try. |

| His plan is cheaper if you make up facts. How did you arrive at $400 billion every two weeks? That would come to 10.4 trillion a year which is more than the current national debt.
I thought his plan was to abandon Iraq, let all the Bush tax cuts expire and commit the "windfall" to some new social programs.
Personally I'd rather see the other social programs fixed before more are created. Isn't that what we were promised, first by the Republicans in 2004 and then by the Democrats in 2006? |
