And you think gas is up now...hahahahahahah...take a look at socialized Europe.

Sure if you consider defense spending and wars the same thing...

As for Europe their high gas costs are far passed by their public transit...not to mention air fare which is a lot cheaper than here...

Have you lived there? I have and still go there every year

All that illegal alien, prison overpopulation, healthcare, deficit stuff can sit on the back burner until we get the real issues resolved. Steroids in baseball . . . I can't believe it!

Actually I preferred it when Congress wasted time talking about steroids. It cost me less money.

If we are going to revert to "better times" why don't we go back even further and state that our economy was more prosperous under slavery.:rolleyes:

Slippery slope argument holds no water.

Fact is, people who are here illegally are breaking the law and should be deported. I don't see how that is such a hard thing to understand.

Far too many resources go towards supporting them.
