There are already three mediapersons that have gotten caught being payed by the Bush administration to be 'pro-Bush' on TV, newspaper, and radio.

There are likely many more.

Re: The Very First Political Post

This is old news. Unfortunatly it was overlooked by the rest of the media. See no evil, hear no evil, write no evil. Well two out of three won't **** up our country.

Re: The Very First Political Post

We don't need one.

If there are numerous "debate" topics constantly cluttering the free forum...we'll create a debate forum.

If not?

We won't.

Re: The Very First Political Post

Bush said something about America's economy heading towards bankruptcy recently*. After saying a bunch of crap about how he plans to fix everything (imagine the costs in that), yet at the same time cut the deficit in half.

* - ... I guess he forgot he's been in control of it for four years.

Re: The Very First Political Post

He's talking about Social Security, not the economy. The economy will never be bankrupt because it's not a real thing. So he could fix Social Security(by privatizing it which would cost billions, why not just put billions into Social Security and leave it alone?) and cut the deficit, theoritically that is. I don't see him doing others.

Re: The Very First Political Post

A lot of that deficit is financed with Social Security money. That's what Reagan did, and Reagan is the reason Social Security is going to go bankrupt. He blew it all on corporate welfare schemes for defense contractors and bailing out the savings and loans industries from their numerous scandals that would have led them to bankruptcy.

Re: The Very First Political Post

I don't think it's necessarily fair to say Reagan's the reason, more like what he did didn't help anything.

Re: The Very First Political Post

He's not the sole reason, but he is the main reason. Take a look at his budgets during his time in office. Then take a look at the social security funds. You will see that his terms account for the bulk of the social security debt.
