Sad thing is, the Republicans still haven't figured out it's a Ford and were continuing to buy Schwinn parts through lucrative 'no bid' gov't contracts - yea, that's capitalism at it's best. No bid contracts. Ohh, and that whole Lincoln quote about sounding stupid - what specific "socialist" spending is "weighing" capitalism down? Most of our GDP is spent on military - those 'no bid' gov't contracts that I mentioned *cough*Halliburton*cough*cough*. So, give me your list of the "socialist" expenses, how much they would save if they were eliminated that would bring the gov't back in black... and don't forget the cause-and-effect analysis for at LEAST the secondary and tertiary effects of what cutting that spending would do. Thanks pumpkin.
