One answer Taranaki. California. 'Raise taxes and throw more money at a government institution to solve its problem' is the way Democrats work, because they don't want to dig out the root of the problem, which is government waste. Look what happened with Cali. under that type of attitude, we end up in debt because of all the whacked out programs and state boards created, so the Democrats raise taxes again, 'temporarily' (we know how long a 'temporary' tax raise would last now don't we), to solve the problem. The problem is, for every penny the government gets, the fuckers spend it on something, which with democrats, is usually something to do with a social program that goes nowhere or an envoronmental program, which goes nowhere or drives off business. At least with the Mars mission, it's a big fuckin notch on not just Americas, but Humanities belt. "We got Mars baby!" Sounds a bit better than, "We raised another generation of welfare babies to breeding age!" Don't you think?

The point I made earlier of the nearly 3 trillion dollars in taxes collected by the government (federal, state and local) is more then enough to fund services. There are only 2 other countries besides the US that have a GDP bigger then that. http://www.photius.com/rankings/gdp_2003_0.html Factor in population size and there is a shitload of money being wasted.

LOL! The U.S. makes over 10 Trillion in GDP a year??? That's fucking crazy! I saw an article in the local paper where the U.K. just finished a little study that showed what their entire country is worth, including the money in peoples bank accounts and property owned, at 8.8 Trillion! Think we could buy Britain and tell everyone to get the hell off of our Island?? Or start charging rent! LOL!

Be much easier and cheaper to tell the public that Britain has a left-wing government,and has weapons of mass destruction,then just bomb the crap out of them and claim what's left.At least you know you'd find some evidence of nukes there.
