  1. It WAS the debt which tripled under Reagan...since we're talking numbers....
  2. When attempting to educate, it is helpful when the question you ask isn't premised on a term such as "raid," which is ambiguous as best. If you rephrase the question with more specificity, I will be glad to take a shot at the answer. For instance, had you asked under which president was social security created, I would have answered FDR. If you had asked under which president did social security annuities begin being taxed, I would have answered Reagan.
  3. Trust me when I tell you the Democrats are praying it's not ;)
  4. Pressure squarely on heat. Game 4 is now win or die.
  5. Do you know what the price tag on the war in the Middle East is? Last I read was somewhere in the $4-$6 Trillion range. Seems a little in excess of the $100 to $200 Billion estimated by W's NEC Director....
  6. It appears you don't want to answer the question.  Which tells me you already know the answer.  ;)
  7.   No doubt the debt has skyrocketed.  To what would you attribute that rise?  Or better yet, what has been the biggest consumer of our federal expenditures?
  8.   You are correct.  I misspoke.   The debt tripled during his presidency...
  9. Oh, and the deficit also tripled during his presidency.
  10. And yet the economy flourished. As it did with a subsequent president who was a democrat and was able to work with a republican congress. One was more liberal than the neoconservatives want to believe; the other was more conservative than the far left liberals want to believe. And despite being from different parties, may be the best two presidents of my lifetime.
  11. I raised taxes 11 times during my presidency. I raised taxes 7 out of my 8 years in office, including 4 times in a 2 year period. I granted amnesty to 3 million illegal immigrants which helped millions more family members achieve American residency. Who am I?
  12. 3 out of 8 teams in Omaha from the great State. Awesome.
  13. 4-4 headed to bottom of 8th. Out of curiosity: if tcu is the host and higher seed, why are they the visiting team today??
  14. He stayin'. Best part of link was first comment below it: Samuel James People who want nothing to do with Cleveland 1) LeBron 2) Calipari 3) Quarterbacks 4) God 5) Cleveland natives
  15. Not often to teams make the perfect hire but I really think KK was a home run. He was a no brainer hire really given his success under Sumlin combined with being a star player for Tech. The added benefit is he is unlikely to be looking to leave at the first moderate upgrade (see Mike Leach). If he makes it a career destination, I can see Tech being a force for years to come. He obviously is an offensive whiz and the kids/recruits love him. Tech is the school to beat for a 5* receiver out of Louisiana right now.
  16. I was thinking the same thing. If someone had told me tech would score only one run in the first two games, I would have predicted a sweep the other way. The Red Raiders do have some good arms and play excellent defense - but I wonder what the measurements are at Dan Law Field. I don't remember it being a huge park like the Disch but I haven't been there either in 20 years.
  17. That's actually a very good point. Tough to say. As is PhatMack's following yours. The bats have taken the long ball out of the equation in parks like the Disch. I like defensive baseball with a premium on pitching and manufacturing runs. For a while, the bats had made the college game ridiculous with football-type scores. However, I do hope the new balls next year provide a little more pop. There should be at least the threat of the long ball in the game.
  18. Get over it. The coogs weren't even the best team in your city. And we won 3 out of 4 from the team that was.
  19. Frogs win 3-2. Great chance of having 3 teams from Texas in CWS!
  20. Maybe that's why people are "clamoring to get in here?" ;)
  21. Promoting the idea that America is evil and does very little right seems to be the subject of 90 percent of the threads on this board. I would agree with you that's the wrong way to go.
  22. Something tells me no matter what you read, you will be more offended by welfare recipients than innocent people being put to death in the name of justice. We all have different priorities and value systems.
