Its a good start.

With more to follow another tax cut is looking more and more likely.

Good news for taxpayers.

Health care is a commodity, not an entitlement. You want some? Buy it. Want more? Buy more. But stop expecting me to pay for it for you.

So far as bio-terrorism protection, I support them completely meaning we need to invade Iran and Syria.

Once that's done we need to tip over North Korea and as long as we're in the neighborhood, we need to do the heavy lifting and get China too.

I'm not against paying a high price, as long as there's value to it.

An uninsured infant is injured in a car crash. Should this infant be denied the "commodity" of health care because it has no access to funds?

TRANSLATION: You don't have a job? Screw you. You don't have health care? I hope you rot. You have less money than me? You're less than human. I only care about myself and my money. Screw the common good. Screw what's moral. Screw the other guy, and his kids, too.

"So far as bio-terrorism protection, I support them completely meaning we need to invade Iran and Syria...and North Korea and... China too."

TRANSLATION: Let's bankrupt the country. We're an unstoppable empire, let's see spread ourselves thin. Let's create more terrorism. Stronger abroad, weaker at home.

"I'm not against paying a high price, as long as there's value to it."

TRANSLATION: I'm not against other people dying for my extremist agenda, as long as I can keep my money.

So when do you enlist, Anonymous? We'll have to get together and throw you a going away party tough guy. I just hope you don't get wounded and have no job to pay for that health care commodity. Because I'm pretty sure funding to VA hospitals is on the chopping block too.

Crystal: Yes, absolutely. (Of course we seem to be in a bit of debt at the moment...)
