What is interesting is if you look at the state of California we’ve paid (as of the time I’m writing this) over 22.5 billion while Ohio has contributed 6. California didn’t vote a self-described “war president” into office, neither the time he was appointed by god’s divine hand nor the time he was elected.

On Saturday we woke up dark and early before the sun in order to catch our Uber to LAX before 7am. We were flying southwest and had checked in the day before right at the buzzer, the instant we were allowed to, but still ended up in C group. When we finally lined up we […]
Our train arrived in Paris after sunset and we tried to use the “easy” subway system we experienced in London and Brussels but were quickly stymied by a glitchy machine that wouldn’t keep English selected past the initial screen. Kind of a problem for figuring out what to buy. Belgium even had a guy walking […]
We reached Brussels before sunset, perfect for checking out the Bourse Christmas Market. We’d picked the right lodging in some ways and the worst in others. The hotel was right next to the market and the hub of the city, but it was also somehow very loud at night with clanging and banging and strange […]
this kind of simplistic number flim flam is typical of the left–you cannot tie a states “payment” to a specific expense. Nobody anywhere has exact numbers for the fed’s income and expenses-the only numbers that matter are the ones the individual produces through work (and no one in any government produces any real things…capital). Also, no president in history has had much of an impact on the actual state of the economy but they still beat that drum because they have a number that they can use as though it actually means something to the voters. The only way these war numbers would make sence is if you could somehow determine the actual percentage of capital production -taxed specifacally by the fed for that purpose-imposed on each capital producing worker. ipse dixit.
A typical GOP rush to judgement preemptive strike 😉 They have charts on the actual amount that you are taxed for military spending deeper in the site.
smoke and mirrors-what is is ?
Money spent on the getty center should have been spent on buying cell phones for poor kids in compton. That will make my life better in Marietta.
my thinking exactly.
if you voted for Dubya and want to contribute to his war go ahead. I didn’t vote for him, so I’d rather contribute to something I feel benefits me more.
By the way, we didn’t HAVE to go to the getty center, but we HAVE to pay taxes.
