FR is the best place to deconstruct and eviscerate "what the other side is saying", so I thought this would be good fodder for an interesting discussion.

I didn’t say anything bad about gays yesterday, but I’m certain that the national debt/deficit still grew, therefore the two are unrelated. /Science’d

Sorry, but pointing out that homosexual behavior is a sin is not “gay-bashing”.

Agree wholeheartedly with both of you!

But what about these assertions:
“Borrowing money to spend on the rebuilding of our schools, on basic scientific research, on nutrition for disadvantaged children, on the infrastructure that will be necessary for future prosperity, and so on, will make future generations better off, not worse off.”

How can this be even uttered when it is manifestly not so?

and
“Conservatives have denigrated the idea that government can ever invest in the future—ignoring the government’s role in the building of railroads in the 19th century, creating the breakthroughs that led to the Internet and every other technological advancement of the 20th century, the building of our great universities (public and private), and universal public education.”

(There’s more in the article - I just picked those for now)

Check out the government costs of HIV. We are paying for this putrid behavior.
