Is this the largest debt increase in the history of the US.

No.  Heck they cut stuff I really believe that.  And I'm going to find that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow too!

JC,
Not to be disagreeable but I grew up in the south; all my life have I lived here. I come from a working class background, and went to integrated schools. You're going to have to trust me on this when it comes down to a perceived white vs. black issue. They will side with their own race, even though they knew it may be wrong.

Friends of mine who are black have verified what I have observed. Like all things like this, it's not 100%, but it's close.

First off, don't worry about being disagreeable. That is what this forum is about. That and correcting my ignorance.  ;)

I don't disagree with what you have said, only to expand on it. I suppose I should have chose my words more carefully. I was more asking than stating.  What I was eluding to was that when race isn't an issue, it seems that blacks will turn on each other just as surely as they will all turn against whites.

Admittedly I do not have much experience with AA people. We don't see many in the cold climates. So I will defer to the experts on this one.

The Muslims are no different. Look at Afghanistan, the only difference between any of the invasions, and a normal day is that during an invasion they don't know the guys they are shooting at.
When the Brits left, they went back to shooting each other, same when the Russians left, and the same thing will happen when we leave.

Given the choice of being a dirt poor farmer on a rocky hillside or becoming a Holy Warrior of Allah, I can see why a lot of fellows choose to join up. 

If you've looked at their tactics and capabilities, you will have noticed they are not very effective fighters.  Our SF members there to route the Taliban participated in a cavalry charge on a defensive position and casualties were zero among our guys and close to that or zero for the others....and this type of charge was a regular occurrence.  They should have all been killed if the defenders had any type of skill with the AKs they carry.

They don't really want to wipe out the opposition...unless it is foreign...because then they would have to give up the glory and take up a plow.

Those of you who voted yes...you can change your vote now.

The truth is this was the largest debt increase in history.  Failure to recognize that is immature.
