RES. 1370, Calling on the Government of the People's Republic of China to immediately end abuses of the human rights of its citizens Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this resolution, which is yet another meaningless but provocative condemnation of China. It is this kind of jingoism that has led to such a low opinion of the United States abroad. Certainly I do not condone human rights abuses, wherever they may occur,...

U.S. to Borrow/Print More Than Entire Cost of War This Year

That's more than twice what the wars cost this year (though still less than the entire annual cost of the hard and software of empire). Now tell me again how all this borrowing/inflation is supposed to be good for the economy again? Wait, what's that, borrowing and inflation are terrible for the economy except when it's for war, then it's good? Do I have that right?
