SuperAnthony64....

Stop playing games like homefront and Modern Warfare 2. I would like to know what other programs you can cut, you have the military, medicare and social security that takes up most of the budget. You have to cut those, or raise taxes. De-funding PBS and killing Elmo and the cookie monster won't solve the problem.

WOW dont play those games. Just look at all the money wasted in the stimulus bill bases 2 years ago. Funding field mice research, plant research, it was full of pork. Did you also know that federal dollars went to cell phones for boarder hoppers that had a built in gps to find a water source? Programs like these that are misused. We have illegals on the welfare and medicare system. Who pays for that? Now we ant to have a mandatory healthcare for all?

Maybe they can legalize marijuana and tax it like booze; more jobs, more revenue, and less people in jail (I'm probably dreaming).
Republicans and Christian moralists will never let happen.
And this makes me a sad panda.

At least we have a medical system here in Colorado. :mrgreen:

Scientific research is a good investment, and cutting it wouldn't have much of an impact on the debt. Can you type coherently? Now you are blaming illegal immigrants... Jeez could you be more typical?
You probably think spending money on Nasa for a trip to Mars would be a huge waste of money. You think preserving the environment is a waste of money. Facepalm...

I think you guys should belittle him a little less and instead try to explain why you think he's wrong.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

No i was pissed when they cut back on NASA spending. They wanted to send a 3d camera to mars but stopped it. So you are ok with people coming into this country eating up your jobs and not paying taxes?
