spending in the war against terror has resulted in an expected $377
billion shortfall for 2003 - the highest deficit since World War II
accounting for inflation. The total U.S. national debt is near the $7.4
trillion statutory limit.

other than murdering thousands of innocents, the incredible ease with
which our president turned a budget surplus into a canyon of debt is the
most appalling characteristic of this president. i'd vote for alfred e.
neuman before i'd align myself or my vote for such a person.

IJ says ----sorry to say I think this election is based on a vote against
one candidate rather than FOR a candidate they think would make a good
president.
to bad the democrats could not produce an electable prospect-- we would
have had a new bossman announced tomorrow.

I have read from a couple of sources that the advertising in this
year's presidential contests have exceeded a combined $600 Million.
This to get a job that will pay $1.6 Million +..........

First, the "profits" from that investment go far, far, beyond that.

Second, it is not a lot of money per citizen.

Third, far greater sums -- Billions, not merely millions-- are spent
on commercial advertising to persuade us that Bud is better than
Millers, that Millers is better than Bud, that Marlboros are better
than Camels, that Camels are better than Marlboros, that no one will
love you if you don't rub this or that under your arms, and for other
extremely trivial purposes.

How come no one gets excited about that?

I don't drink Buds nor Millers and don't smoke Marlboros nor Camels.

But seriously, the folks that pay for that commercial have to answer to a
board of directors and shareholders. And in your specific example you won't
find commercials over the air for cigarettes and alcohol advertising does
have some boundaries.
