As far as Germany putting Rumsfeld on trial, can you remember which country held war trials at Nuremburg to hold their war criminals accountable for their actions?

This comparing the Nazi Regime and bush is getting real old. The two are very much diffrent. Hitler killed over 12 million people not in a war or fighting, but by taking them from their homes and either burning them, putting them in gas chambers, or simply starving them until they died. People say bush started a pre-emptive war, its fine if you believe that but that has nothing to do with Hitlers regime.

My second thought on the article is it points to the fact that democrats never did anything wrong. Please clinton LIED to america under oath. Do we all remember "it depends on what your definition of is, is" Most politicians will say anything to get into office or out of trouble.

When did the US almost bankrupt itself? That is news to me.

Just admit you are a communist.

Nice response to the question of when the US was close to bankruptcy. I am still waiting for that answer. Just admit you have no idea what you are talking about and that bankruptcy comment is just typical communist talking points.

This "communist" stuff is pretty lame.
My guess is that you have no clue about the damage that Reagan's policies did to the national debt load. Perhaps you might think about "research" before you hurl "labels".
Hurl.

Rev,
Here is a "letter to the editor", clearly an opinion, totally based on facts.
If you find any "facts" to disprove the author's, please provide.
"Research based" only.

Rev,
Here's another that you might find of interest, hardly from a "left wing" opinion site.
Note in the article the country that is currently preventing US bankruptcy.

Rev, here's an article on the Reagan years and the 1981 tax cut, defense spending and supply-side economics. Plenty of figures and stats, I promise. Interesting reading, even with all the figures and stats. Doesn't say anything about bankruptcy, but the stuff on the accumulated interest on the national debt is rather sobering.
