Paulsen's threatening sky-is-falling policy. So far he has managed to successfully extort $850 billion dollars (including sweeteners) and get it moved into undisclosed locations, sucked down into the abyss of no accountability, where it has yet to make one iota of difference. Poof. Vanished into the cosmos, gone with the wind, leaving the tax payers holding a U owe Us and a directive that we not dare ask what happened.
Thanks. Next time around I'll take mine with a healthy dose of transparency and reassurance that there will be something in it for John Q.

setting the stage for a war with iran
Maybe this will come to nothing, but the NYT reports today (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/20/world/middleeast/20nuke.html?hp) that ''the amount of uranium that Tehran had now amassed — more than a ton — was sufficient, with added purification, to make an atom bomb.''
So here we go again, people nudging us towards war, with the complicity of the Times. We'll pretend that a nuclear weapon is something you can cook up in your kitchen, once you have the requisite number of atoms. We'll pretend that this is The Greatest Threat We Have Ever Known. Even bigger than Saddam, who ended up not having all the WMD the NYT said he did. We've already begun playing around with 2007's National Intelligence Estimate (see LA Times http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/washingtondc/la-fg-usiran12-2009feb12,0,3478184.story) to make Iran seem more dangerous.
We really just can't leave *anyone* alone, can we?
because slander is the 1st stage of violence and abuse...sm
the next step is physical abuse, the next is murder.
As it happens so often.
