#1 They will gut the military to raise funds. After the Donks are voted out of office for something else, the Trunks will be left to pick up the pieces and get blamed for it in the process. Then the Donks will get elected back into office and the cycle will repeat itself.

#2 I believe it may be a little bit too late for Barry to discuss spending cuts.

#4 And since the Pentagon and Department of Veterans Affairs would likely be shielded from such cuts, overtures toward trimming the deficit may hold more symbolic value than substance.

They got the latter part right, leftist bias notwithstanding.

#5 The Democrat definition of "spending cut" means to a) decrease the rate of increase in spending or b) not spend money on some new projects they were thinking about funding.

#7 Tax^2
This came to me by an email just to remind people how far weve come. I cant tell people how much tax is right but I can say we have too much.

A Tax Poem

At first I thought this was funny..
then I realized the awful truth of it.

Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which hes fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers.
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.
Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you wont be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers,
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
Hes good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which hes laid.

Put these words
upon his tomb,
Taxes drove me to my doom

When hes gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation was the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had the largest middle class in the world, and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

#8 A hundred years ago both mother and children worked in the factories if the family was poor in the city, and in the fields if the family was poor in the country.
