Democratic Debate Part 3
June 29, 2007
Few errors, lots of dreaming.
Summary
We caught a few candidates off base at the third debate among Democratic contenders for the 2008 presidential nomination:

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson claimed one in five of "the African people" are infected with HIV/AIDS. That's not even close. The actual rate of infection for sub-Saharan Africa is 5.8 percent.
Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich claimed that "our tax dollars right now are being spent overwhelmingly on war and military buildup." In fact, all defense spending amounts to just 23.6 percent of the budget, or about half what is spent on Social Security, Medicare and other entitlement programs.

Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel claimed that 70 percent of prison inmates are African Americans. Actually, the figure is 40 percent

And your sources for your numbers are....?

Here are mine for "Sub-Saharan Africa".... rate of infection is different from number OF infected. Your "5.8%" is the amount of NEW People infected every year in Africa...

"defense spending amounts to just 23.6% of the budget"... and you dont think that's an overwhelming amount? Right now, the US is spending 40 times the money per capita on Iraqi citizens that we spend on the average American citizen. You don't mind socialized programs, as long as Americans don't get them I guess.

And speaking of Social Security, why didn't Republicans fix it when they had a Republican White House, a Republican Congress and a Republican Supreme Court? Why did they they do nothing but take bribes and fondle underage boys?

Your black prisoner estimate is complete fiction, but here's a link to help you get some knowledge:

As the above answer seems to believe, If the Democrats say it, it must be true.
