Common Sense from David Obey
"How can you ever expect to get to a balanced budget if you're spending $100 billion a year on Iraq borrowing the money to do it, if you're giving $50 billion a year in tax cuts to people who make over a million bucks a year and paying for that with borrowed money?"
- (David Obey, D-Wis)

Well, Mr. Bush, you gonna answer that?

1. "Hehehe...that's an easy one, Obey-wan...hehehe...that's a nickname, see?"
"But if I might answer yer questionification...you see, Obey-wan, those tax cuts are a stimulus. It's YOUR money, not the gubmit's. And when we give your money to rich people to put into tax shelters and offshore banks, it helps every 'Murkin by makin' them want to be rich, too, and so ya see Obey-wan, that's when 'Murkin's work harder. And when 'Murkins work harder, those rich people runnin' the factories can afford to pay them, cuz they didn't have to pay no taxes. Or somethin like thet. Doesn't matter, though. Cuz I don't give a damn what anyone thinks. I've never been big on thinkin', it's way over rated." - George W.
