Why Torture Matters
From a July 2002 memo from the military's Joint Personnel Recovery Agency...
The unintended consequence of a U.S. policy that provides for the torture of prisoners is that it could be used by our adversaries as justification for the torture of captured U.S. personnel.Posted April 25, 2009.

You mean spending like the $850 billion dollar "rescue" bill? I don't think anyone likes our national debt. The problem is that a recession is the -worst- time to cut back on government spending. The trick is to put our money into programs and policies that will have the greatest payoff in the future to recoup the government's investment; things like infrastructure, education and new industry growth.
Calling for "Reducing the debt" isn't helpful, when what we need is to redirect funding into programs that grow the economy so that we can pay the debt off once the recession.
The Greatest Payoff comes from individual action. That is something that all parties can agree on.
Do something, no matter how small, for the good of our country, everyday.
