And now today - that very same Republican Party is saying "no way" to Democrats who just want to pay off that pile of Republican debt. Think about it this way - the Republicans ran up a huge credit card bill, and now they're refusing to pay for it. They took the good times - the stimulation to the economy from all that spending and the political benefits from all those wars - and now they don't want to pay for it. If you or I did that with our credit card - and did it intentionally - we'd be in jail. Here is why we are in debt. Before Reagan took office - our national debt was just under one trillion dollars and our top tax rate was 74%. But Reagan promised the nation good times - so he gave all his rich buddies tax cuts - and then put $2 trillion on the nation's credit card. Reagan borrowed and spent - in just 8 years - more money than every president of the United States from George Washington to Jimmy Carter - COMBINED. And now the Republicans don't want to pay the bill for Reagan's debt. [/quote] So your source gets thrown out by raw data and you won't even offer a response?

[/quote] So My data is wrong but your from Fox News is right ;D ;D ;D [/quote] Where have I used a source from Fox news in this debate? You used an internet blog.

[quote name="True Blue" post="1065809" timestamp="1316964964"] On paper, President Bush added a total of $5.07 trillion to the debt and President Obama will add $1.44 trillion. However, approximately $1.14 of the latter figure is as a result of President Bush’s mismanagement of the economy. In other words, the real numbers should be $6.21 trillion of additional spending by President Bush and only $0.3 trillion by President Obama. If you add in the $126 billion in savings that President Obama will make on defense spending, he will only be responsible for about $0.17 trillion of new spending, about 4% of what President Bush was responsible for. As the total national debt is around $14.7 trillion, President Bush singlehandedly created almost half of it! [/quote] You know, it's hard to find a report that is just plain wrong, but you've found it. I pasted the first sentence of that paragraph into the Google search engine and this is where it came from: [Hidden Content] My guess is somebody saw the total debt that President Bush added during his entire presidency (or rather a fairly liberal estimate of it) and then saw how much President Obama added in [i]one year[/i], assumed that that amount was what he would add in his entire first term, and wrote up a blog about it without doublechecking. And we wonder why there's so much misinformation out there. If anything, this should prove the dangers of internet blogging. Folks, don't believe everything you read on the internet. Below, you will find a chart comprised of information from the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Congressional Budget Office, and the Department of the Treasury (all federal entities) that catalogues total US debt levels (both actual debt and debt as a portion of GDP) from 2000 to present. You will notice a steeper rate of increase in 2009 and 2010 than you will in previous years. [IMG][Hidden Content]] Based on the chart, you will notice that US total debt stood at slightly more than $10 Trillion at the end of 2008, up from slightly less than $6 Trillion at the end of 2000. That's the $4+ Trillion President Bush added in eight years. From the end of 2008 to the end of 2010, you'll notice a rise in the debt level from ~$10 Trillion to ~$13.75 Trillion. That accounts for two years of $1.5-$1.6 Trillion annual deficits under Obama (the largest deficits in US history) and the $787 Billion stimulus package. In other words, based on the actual data and not a poorly researched blog, President Obama has nearly tied President Bush's debt record in half the time. -

It was a fun game to watch and very exciting. Hats off to the PNG faithful for turning out in droves. With that said, I was a little mystified at some of the pregame theatrics on the PNG side of the field. The PNG coach seemingly waited until the last minute to bring his team out of the locker. And the whole deal with the Indian mascot dancing on the 50 yard line of the other teams field was definitely bush league. It reminded me of the time Terrell Owens did his dance on the Cowboys star at Texas Stadium when he was with the 49ers. No class! Newsflash: all that does is motivate the other team! Oddly enough, the line shows PNG had more penalty yards than Livingston. [/quote] That is a PN-G tradition. The Indian Spirit has always danced on the 50 yard line at every game, regardless of where that game is played. Normally, it's the only way all of the PN-G faithful can see him. [/quote]Thats why that Bear beat him up a few years back! [/quote] Really? Because I thought it had more to do with the fact that LC-M is tired of losing to PN-G in just about everything. ;D -

As usual, there's only one true prediction I can offer: the stadium's going to be packed. I'll be home for this and I look forward to seeing the Indians in person for the first time this year. [b][size=72pt][color=purple]Scalp 'em![/color][/size][/b]

[quote name="VPirate" post="1056336" timestamp="1315953634"] I've been getting smote so much by Nederland fans lately...I fell like a Biblical Egyptian.....It's like, For behold the Nederland fan will pass through this thread to smite the Vidor fan.....But I say unto you Nederland fan whosoever shall smite me on my right cheek, I will smite him back. ;) ;) [/quote] I know what you mean. I've taken a few hits from some Nederland fans myself (among others). I haven't the slightest idea why.... ;D To be honest, I never really saw the point behind karma. The only reason I could figure was that it gave new members a way of knowing who the more reputable posters are, but that's not bullet-proof.

[/quote] Don't worry. You can admit it. We hate Nederland back. ;) ;D In all seriousness, you won't find a friendlier rivalry or a closer relationship between communities than what you find in Mid-County. I personally think the level of competition between PN-G and Nederland is what keeps the two schools performing so highly. To say that it's the longest continuous rivalry in Southeast Texas and that it's the fiercest in the state, Mid-County folks share a strong bond.
