I'm strong in my political beliefs, I do my best to be civil. I fail
sometimes, that's to be expected. One thing I would like to see is the
actual bills sent to registered voters. THEN, there would be no chance of
lies, by anyone.

One Thing: I misrepresented the RNC's $1,000,000 contest. It is to prove
that Medicare spending will be increased less than 50% of current levels.
Medicare is increased at 62% of current levels. Which translates to the
current budget total (over $1 trillion)being spent on Medicare during the
entire 7 year budget.

As for current political speak, when you say a cut to a member of the
democratic party leadership it means Johnny asks for a $1.00 raise in his
allowance, then his father only gives him a $0.75 raise. That is a cut of 25
cents, not a raise of 75 cents.

Brian, as for our politics clashing: I believe that the best way for people
to live is to EARN their money (through investing, work, and general monitary
risk-taking) not get the money from the government at the expense of those
who work for a living. I would like to see the government invest 10% of each
department's budget allowance per year until the interest alone can run the
government.
