Imagine a Congress and Senate that's been giving raises to themselves on a regular basis for the longest time - while keeping their military in substandard housing, with substandard hospitals.

Nah, that could never happen.

This Jill Nelson is the poster child for America hating leftist crackpots. Vehemently racist, anti-white, anti-American, anti-Capitalism, her columns could be used for recruiting concerned conservatives to the cause of Republicanism. She wins the Susan Sontag award for moral relativism every time she writes a column. Unfortunately, this woman has a daughter. Imagine having Jill Nelson as your mother!!

My gosh! Can she really believe the crap she has written?

Budget surplus under Sick Willie magically (magically?) transformed into a deficit?

Can Jill not remember back a few years when the Sickster was projecting $200 billion deficits out to infinity? When the Bent One was dragged kicking and screaming into the new world where the budget was going to be balanced regardless of his intention to "invest" in pork?

I don't believe she has much of a grip on the facts.

millions of children go to bed hungry

I'd like to she the pinhead prove it. Actually childhood obesity is a worse problem in the US especially with the so-called "poor".

Clinton administration -- back when the economy was booming, the budget had a surplus and terrorist attacks on American soil were unimaginable.

Ignorance is bliss, but this woman is in paradise.

Dear Jill Nelson:
I have a very simple question for you.

Explain how it is OK for unemployed, non-tax paying "voters" to collectively mug me and all other taxpayers?

Will wait for an answer

Bush is using our tax dollars to award his political appointees, many of whom already make more than $100,000 a year.

I don't know what token writers that get their unsubstantiated drivel published in USA Today get paid these days, but I'll bet Jill makes over 100K a year.

Didn't Clinton get some kind of tax break or write off for Hollywood's "entertainers"? Maybe we could tax the Hollywood actors a little (or a lot) more ----for the children. We don't want hungry children and look how much money greedy people like Julia Roberts or Alec Baldwin make for one movie. We know they really *care* so they won't object.

The Homeless are back!

Yeah funny how there were apparently no homeless as soon as the serial rapist took office--then all of the sudden on January 21, 2000 a million people end-up in the street. Amazing how the mere swearing in of President Bush resulted in all those people becoming homeless. The sad thing of it is that the dumb jackasses in the RAT cult really believe this crap.

NATIONAL ESTIMATES OF HOMELESSNESS

500,000 - 600,000 (1988)

700,000+/night; 2 million/year (1999)

From http://www.nationalhomeless.org/numbers.html Looks like it went up while Clinton was in white house...

And this from same site:

A 1997 review of research conducted over the past decade (1987-1997) in 11 communities and 4 states found that shelter capacity more than doubled in nine communities and three states during that time period (National Coalition for the Homeless, 1997). In two communities and two states, shelter capacity tripled over the decade.
