Remember when you're at the gas station and grocery store this weekend to consider the hundreds and hundreds of billions we've wasted in Iraq. Remember to consider why we as a nation put two free spending oil men with military industrial complex connections into the White House. And remember to think about our $53 trillion debt, and who we owe it to.
And then take another look at the prices you're paying. And the price our country paid. And take a look around at the kids. You know, the ones who end up getting stuck with your bill, the ones who'll hate you one day.
And maybe then it'll all come together for you.
Here's a good piece in the IHT for your consideration by Bernie Sanders, the Independent Senator from Vermont. Add him to the HP short list of politicians who are allowed to stay in DC. We need more "Independents" in the Senate. Don't forget that it took both corrupt political parties to get us into this mess, and keep us there for so long.
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, represents, in the final analysis, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1956
A budget U.S. taxpayers can't afford
Today, Bush's military budget is $515 billion, more than half of all discretionary spending. This is in addition to the $200 billion a year being spent on the war in Iraq, and another $16 billion spent on nuclear weapons.
Meanwhile, as military spending explodes, the middle class in America is shrinking, poverty is increasing and the gap between the very rich and everyone else is growing wider. While we now spend $94 billion more on defense than three years ago, poverty and hunger are increasing, 47 million Americans lack health insurance, and an entire generation of young people wonders how to afford college.

What, you didn't think we could keep spending like this with no repercussions, did you? Silly Americans.

Boycott China and their main US agent Wal-Mart. You'll help take housing prices down even faster, and help free Tibet

China is run by an evil and corrupt government, even more evil and more corrupt than our own, who will not change until they feel it in their secret bank accounts.
Every time you buy a Made In China product, you are contributing to evil.
And remember, these same people who kill monks, kill babies and imprison their people are the same people who caused the US housing bubble - by manipulating their currency, creating a massive trade surplus with the US, and buying up US debt and mortgages to keep our interest rates too low for too long.
I hope to see a few hundred million Chinese take to the streets soon, and I hope they hang their rulers from the lamp poles as they welcome the world to their Olympics.
And I hope to see them lose hundreds and hundreds of billions on their bad US investments.
Stay out of Wal-Mart. Boycott China. Join a local protest. And bring down these bitches.
