My friend is forwarding me right wing propaganda. In this latest piece I have no response for him because I don't know if the figures are valid. I suspect these are fabrications. Anyway, here they are.
Boy am I confused. Listening to the Partisan 'politicals', I have been
hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on
terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.

again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of
reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.

forward it to every legal resident in the country including every

some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof
