They are much lighter and will take a head off lickety split.
Chainsaws splatter too much.
I think he was talking about using a chainsaw on a palm tree. Not too sure how well a sawzall would work. Although, they are damn useful....

It seems like the debt was about to turn around when Clinton was in office.
He was slowing he amount of debt owed rather than paying it back though. But still, good policy.The#1Spot wrote:

He gutted everything else leaving us in a recession and our intelligence agencies severely damaged. Smoke and mirrors..The#1Spot wrote:

lol your saying it was Clinton who has caused not only the current recession, but also caused the bad intelligence agency advice which led to the belief of WMD's?

No. It was a combination of factors. See thats the way it works in the real world.TheAussieReaper wrote:

Your mixing recessions. Do some research or pull up a chair and I'll give you a lesson.

Wait... let's get this straight.
Your economy is bad enough as it is. Don't need to ship off cash somewhere else.
Don't get me wrong, if Africa is going to get anywhere it needs to develop. It needs to get out of the cycle of poverty and Stage 2 demographically and into stage 3 and the NIC stage (like Asia has). But now is not the time.

The paradox is only a conflict between reality and your feeling what reality ought to be.

this is the extent of our badassedness; during a recession, while fighting two wars, we borrow even more money from our unborn grandchildren to burn in Africa.
we have the gun in our mouth and we don't even fuckin care anymore. the only choice left? wadcutter or hollowpoint.

It's probably worth remembering that the majority of this money will stay firmly within the US economy.
Paying US medical workers and buying US medical supplies and transporting both via US shipping companies makes sense.

I'll be sure to buy pfizer and fedex shares tomorrow.

The 80-16 vote committed the United States to spending up to $48 billion over the next five years for the most ambitious foreign public health program ever launched by the United States.

I'm not bashing the States, I'm agreeing with him...nobody would have dared point an accusatory finger at the US for spending money on itself given the choppy financial waters and yet they commit a huge wad of cash to the money pit that is Africa.Parker wrote:

Exactly the reason why the EU needs to stop this incessant centralisation of power and dilution of representative democracy. Such decisions are mind boggling.Kmarion wrote:

We will be going in to Africa in the next 50 years to strip them of their resources. Its the least we could do. This might bring the USA per head spending up closer to the rest of us. Well done to the Democrat comrades.
Most interesting graph!
Conclusion:
In the past decades, Republican presidents/administrations made the US national debt skyrocket - G.W. Bush in particular - , while the Democrat Clinton and his administration at least made a succesfull effort to cut down the debt, as the graph clearly shows.
Someday, the shit has to hit the fan, dont you think ? Like in the "roaring 1920's" ?
The writing is on the wall, as you can see with the recent mortgage financial troubles.
Maybe - just maybe - its about time to get another Democrat like Obama in the Whitehouse, just to avoid more financial disasters ?
At least you're not putting that money into Iraq.
I would like to see who voted no.
Also, good job democrats. You campaigned on pulling out of iraq in order to win, and we are still there and this is what you are doing. fucking losers.
