I could put all the numbers up - again - but I think it's pretty obvious by now that some people aren't interested in the real numbers. Look at the battle I've been going through in this thread to try and make the point - from several different directions - that we CANNOT solve this by simply looting more taxpayers.

I got this in the e-mail a few days ago from Democrats.com:

^Are you outraged by the Republican class war against unions, teachers, and the entire middle class?^

^Are you shocked that Republicans want to replace guaranteed Medicare healthcare with "vouchers" that could be slashed in an instant?^

^Do you think we can easily fix national and state budget problems by taxing big corporations and billionaires - and ending our endless wars?^

^If so, then...^

Followed by protests and other "activism." Activism is easy. You don't have to think at all.

These are people who have destroyed their own minds rather than let go of their socialist ideal. You can't argue with them, you can't show them the facts, all you can do is make them angrier.
