please u are stupid. It's the democrats and liberals fault we are where we at. They are always increasing taxes all till the point we can't afford it. 

just a note, Bush is guilty of a lot in my conservative opinion, too much spending for one, but he is certainly not to blame for everything, that is just ridiculous.

 I'm not going over high school level economics with you.

 Repeating a sentence does not make it correct. If it was correct, it would have been the first time you said it.

 Ok. Nice discussion anyway.

I'm not sure what your trying to ask? Russia like the US lost a lot more money when Reagan restarted the Cold War due to the fact that they had to produce and maintain a higher army, while also selling weapons, often yes at a loss.

Were they selling most of their weapons at a loss? Can't say, I don't have detailed financials... I do know their military polcies as a whole when reagan restarted the cold war did in fact cost them way more then they gained on anything they sold for a profit.

That's one of the reasons why Reagan started the War... because the russian system was already hitting a lot of problems staying even so by putting more pressure on them to keep up their country it drove their economic problems into high gear.

The USR's Military took up a lot of their budget no doubt, that and gas prices lowering are mostly what did them in. Gas being one of their main sources on income.

Well that and corrupt government officials.

Lot of paralels here. Gas prices up instead of down, but we buy oil, don't sell it. Close to zero economic growth, large military budget due to a "war". Though this time on terrorists, corrupt political officials.

The cold war cost Russia a lot. The country would of eventually collapsed anyway... Communism can't work outside of a vacuum, but it would of took longer.

Because the evidence seems to suggest he looked through a number of intellegence reports and picked the only one that suggested Iraq had weapons of mass destruction vs a bunch that suggested he didn't and treated that one report as fact?

Basically he knowingly mislead everyone, or unknowingly did so letting his bias greatly get in the way of his judgement skills. 

 It's all the fault of god. God is certainly to blame for everything.

Absolute nonsense. Maybe PURE communism won't work in reality, but if they hadn't had Brezhnev for almost 20 years or if Andropov hadn't died, the Soviets may well have still been around today. Given incompetent enough leaders, any political system will collapse.
