"Mr. President, I rise today to talk about America's debt problem. The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can't pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies.
***Over the past 5 years, our federal debt has increase by $3.5 trillion to $8.6 trillion. That is "trillion" with a "T."*** That is money that we have borrowed from the Social Security trust fund, borrowed from China and Japan, borrowed from American taxpayers. And over the next 5 years, between now and 2011, the President's budget will increase the debt by almost another $3.5 trillion.
Numbers that large are sometimes hard to understand. Some people may wonder why they matter.
Rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy, robbing our cities and States of critical investments in infrastructure like bridges, ports, and levees; robbing our families and our children of critical investments in education and health care reform; robbing our seniors of the retirement and health security they have counted on. Every dollar we pay in interest is a dollar that is not going to investment in America's priorities.
The Senate continues to reject a return to the commonsense Pay-go rules that used to apply. ***Previously, Pay-go rules applied both to increases in mandatory spending and to tax cuts. The Senate had to abide by the commonsense budgeting principle of balancing expenses and revenues.***
Unfortunately, the principle was abandoned, and now the demands of budget discipline apply only to spending. As a result, tax breaks have not been paid for by reductions in Federal spending, and ***thus the only way to pay for them has been to increase our deficit to historically high levels and borrow more and more money.***
Now we have to pay for those tax breaks plus the cost of borrowing for them. Instead of reducing the deficit, as some people claimed, the fiscal policies of this administration and its allies in Congress will add more than $600 million in debt for each of the next 5 years.
***That is why I will once again cosponsor the Pay-go amendment*** and continue to hope that my colleagues will return to a smart rule that has worked in the past and can work again.
Our debt also matters internationally. ***My friend, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, likes to remind us that it took 42 Presidents 224 years to run up only $1 trillion of foreign-held debt. This administration did more than that in just 5 years.***
Increasing America's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. ***Leadership means that "the buck stops here.'' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I therefore intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt limit."***

Google charges by "impressions", as well. An impression is when an ad shows. Sites get paid per 1000 impressions. Lot of ads = lot of cash...
Firefix and AdBlockPlus ensure you won't see those ads.

Teddy Tentpole would gouge out the one good one if I did.

I'd be pretty scared. I haven't seen many female pilots, or many Jewish ones for that matter.
If you got in a plane and saw a Jewish woman in the cockpit, would you still proceed to your seat?
"If you got in a plane and saw a Jewish woman wearing a parachute in the cockpit with her side door open, would you still proceed to your seat?
It's a cockpit if the pilot is a guy.
If the pilot's female.......
cuntpit?
When a woman pilot is up front, it is called "The Box Office".
Fuck, that made me laugh.
