Brad,
 
You say I put words in your mouth - I come back with quotes from your  posts. 
 You say it's word twisting.  Read your cited posts, it's  pretty clear what 
you wrote.
 
You talk about the need for deficit spending to fight the war and a  
recession.  The post-bubble//9/11 recession started towards the end of 2001  and ended 
in 2002(see the first paragraph of 
_http://www.fdic.gov/bank/analytical/fyi/2006/032306fyi.html_ 
(http://www.fdic.gov/bank/analytical/fyi/2006/032306fyi.html) )  , this is 2007.  The deficits from tax cuts in the intervening 5 years 
have  had nothing to do with recession - but I'm sure you knew that, just 
another  half-truth.
 
You know darn well these guys have been living on debt  forever.  Each FY is 
always a "special situation" whose unique  circumstances require your idiot 
buddies to run up debt, right?  I  don't think so.  8 years of "unique 
circumstances" with Reagan, followed by  4 years of "unique circumstances" by Bush, and 
now 6 years of "unique  circumstances" with Jr - gimme a break.  Any public 
company that tried this  would be trashed and its management in jail.  Any 
private company would be  dead broke.  But your emotionally aligned with these 
idiots so it's OK with  you.  
 
Oh, and as per your post I have kept in mind that the Congress has to  
authorize the egregious deficit spending - and that brings me right back to your  
idiot buddies, many of which are no longer in Congress.  The electorate  
collectively threw up - and your buddies are gone.  But you knew  that.
 
 
It would be gratifying to see a little intellectual  honesty.  
 
By all means, go to Mississippi maybe they'll believe you.  I'm sure  your 
equipment operators stand in awe of your encyclopedic  grasp of misinformation.  
Be sure to tell them about Keynesian  economics and the recession of 2006, or 
5, or whatever, and when they quote you  remember to say "I never said that". 
 They'll be impressed.
