I have no kids so it don't bother me. The markets even say it won't work. Have you ever wondered what collateral our country will put up for this loan. A national forest or perhaps natural resources? Oh yea, I thought it was patriotic to pay your taxes. AAAAHHHHHHH, the hypocracy. If you want to put a hugh tax burden on your grandchildren, go ahead. I have no kids so it don’t bother me.

Try to grow up a bit. We're always ready to debate anyone who comes here genuinely to debate. (Matt actually hungers for honest debate with people who disagree with him, a fact that any long-term reader will attest to.) People who come here for honest debate, though, probably shouldn't start out spewing insults. There are many examples from your comments on other threads too, but I'm not willing to invest the time to go back and look through them, so I'll just stick to this thread. Comment 6 is one extended insult. Remarks like these are hardly conducive to, or in the spirit of, honest debate; I have a firm policy of ignoring anyone who comes in here mouthing off in this way. You're really kidding yourself if you believe you came in here looking for an honest discussion and we slapped you away. You have a nice life, too.

You guys post too quickly for me to keep up. Slow connectivity here. I feel double-teamed. Hope I answered your question. If not, let me know. Otherwise, thanks again, and good-bye for real this time. Ha! You guys post too quickly for me to keep up. Slow connectivity here. I feel double-teamed. Hope I answered your question.

Never meant to give anyone any false impressions about your reader base. I kept the names I used the same under the various topics that I posted under should anyone wish to debate (though I screwed up with the name on this one). I just really didn't think the name mattered all that much. Again, and sincerely, have a nice life. My apologies. Never meant to give anyone any false impressions about your reader base.

One, no one is asking for your real name. You are free to cloak your real identity under whatever screen name you like. So "I have posted a different name when I comment because my name, as well as my email address, are none of anyones business and are irrelevant" is just blowing smoke. It does <em><strong>nothing</strong></em> to address why you posted a different name each time. Two, you're so smart but so ethically challenged that you don't recognize this as dishonest behavior? The point is that by pretending to be a different person each time, you're playing dishonest games with every one who reads your comments. For example, you are creating the false impression that we have multiple pissed-off readers, not just one dishonest wimp hiding behind different screen names for effect.
