    Default Corruption Scandal Rocks the Vatican

    See? There is no credibility coming out of the present-day Roman Catholic Church. It's lost its' way....if it ever had it. Christ, himself, would send it to Hell.

    Tell us poet... do you deny that all of those individuals (41 that we know of) had tax problems?

    I understand you may not like the source, but that doesn't make the FACTS any less true.

    Just as my dislike of the trash typically coming from Huffpost doesn't change the FACT that the Vatican has corruption issues.

    Nice rant from an old freind, refute away conservative shill assholes;

    I just heard on the news that last year

    last year!!!

    we had the " largest cut in government spending in two decades... "

    Wow. so who was the last hero before Barack

    two decades lets see that is

    2 years of Obama
    8 years of Bush JR.
    8 years of Clinton
    That makes 18 years so
    Two decades puts us at Bush Senior.

    Hmm what did he cut that made a bigger cut than the one Obama just handled.

    Oh, Reagan programs....

    funny thing about that.

    As Roger noted, the graph that circulates with the red ink showing who ran up the debt isn't fair cause it doesn't take time into consideration.

    Ok time.

    Ronnie
    8 yrs and increased the debt at 23.6% per year....

    Bush Sr. touched the brakes and that is why we get the 2 decade comment
    4 yrs at an increase of 13.7% per year (I said touched, I didn't say applied)

    Bill Clinton, damn tax and spend democrat had
    8 yrs with an AVERAGE increase of 4.6% per year and it was close to zero at the end

    Junior did
    8 yrs at 14.4 percent per year increase in spending more than he took in
    and

    Obama
    in the first 16 months, pulled that down to 12% per year in spite of managing a Republican designed bailout and fighting two inherited wars. (and by the way, escalated the first war and took out a major player, which Jr. dropped the ball on, failing to use his WORLD mandate and clean up the mess while he had support)

    Now the news says that in it's second year at the helm, The Obama Administration orchestrated the largest Cut in government spending since Bush senior started trying to clean up after Ronnie's "Bankrupt the Soviets" spending spree.

    That was news and statistics revisited


    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    Some people like to talk about fiscal responsibility, some people do something about it.

    Hmmmmm
    don't tax and spend
    Borrow and spend
    then you go bankrupt, keep the mansion as your domicile (and the secret swiss account) and get a clean slate...
    isn't that how it works?
    It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.

    Hmm, is it wise to compare messengers of God?

    On that note it's siesta time.

    I'm sorry but I don't read anything from Townhall.com, seeing that it's propaganda, and not news. Bully for you, for agreeing about truth. Sorry I can't reciprocate.

    Are you asking me questions in light of the fact that you lie, repeatedly, and have sought to smear my reputation and impugn my integrity? Go fuck yourself.
    Do us both a favor and don't respond to my posts.
