I say we show them what happens when everyone decides it is acceptable to break one law. How long do you think it will take them to spring into action once the coffers have run dry?
Who's going to finance his favorite war, that he hardly ever writes about? Is he planning to abandon the troops in Iraq with no bullets?
Does he expect us to borrow ALL (not some) of the money to fight the war from the Saudis, the Chinese and the Japanese?
Regarding the strike concept he's proposing which amounts to staying home from work until Washington listens: It's easy for him to do - he's a stay-at-home dad!
Once again, Wild Bill leads the charge from the rear. I do hope he'll let us know how it goes.
I'm not fundamentally against what he's proposing, but there are consequences and one of those would be to deprive the military of money that they need to fight Bush's war. Is Bill saying he'd rather surrender to the Islamunists? Given the real-world implications of his proposal, that's what it sounds like to me.
I can't wait 'till the other right wingers lay into him for being a surrender monkey!

Just in case Bill decides to cut-and-run by deleting my comment to his post without actually addressing the merits of my point, here's the comment I left on his blog:

Well sounds like we have work to do. If you agree link to this post and we can send a message that we are not going to take it anymore.

Wild Bill proposes defunding US troops, Iraq War and GWOT.

I think you need to reread Bill's post. It is Idea, you a passing thought. Which could sprink into a fair tax.
Is that what it was? I didn't see any mention of a "fair tax" in the entire post. I thought he was proposing to bring the gov't to its knees by starving it of funds or, to use his phrase, making the government's "coffers run dry".
I thought he was talking about making a difficult choice between paying for a war that he thinks is going so great OR crippling the government over it's inaction on immigration.
So it was just an idea (bluster?) is what you're saying? Then he's not actually going to do anything?
Maybe he didn't think of the consequences of his proposal, as usual?
