When I see that the debt to GDP ratio was more than 100 percent after WW II, and seeing the growth in GDP and the improvement in quality of life since then, I don't get all hysterical by recent growth due to protecting our freedoms. I am not of the "better red than dead" school, or the current situation, "better Muslim than decapitated." That the debt to GDP ratio is better going down than up I grant, but not at the expense of losing liberty. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
