Ok, lets try this in a easier fashion. The top two forums on EO. The "General" section. 220,080 posts The "soapbox" section 103,206 posts. All others are below those numbers. Those numbers are right there on the forum home page. No need to go any deeper than that. Oh....and there's my penny...

They would have to as the provided information doesn't match anything that has been reported. As mentioned, if so, Greg the insurance man's phone would be ringing off the hook and this person would be on a Obama commercial.

Upper 40's and single isn't going to generate a subsidy but the 12k will as that is well below the poverty line.

Any yet you are here responding? Always a place for everything. I really think you enjoy the cheap entertainment.:cool:

At 12k a year that sounds about right. Someone unemployed would likely have similar numbers.

True....but that isn't Blue Cross. That is why they expanded Medicaid. Medicaid is subsidized insurance if you are at 200 percent of poverty. Should add, a Blue Cross agent can write the policy for medicaid, but it isn't Blue Cross insurance.

Nice try. Blue cross doesn't have a policy that is $63.00 for a couple in ANY state. Might have insurance for $63.00 a month, but that is medicaid. Checks rates somewhere other than Facebook.

True...but the point is those were not "soapbox debates". Those past or maybe ongoing debates are held in other places on EO that are suited for those types of discussions.

We do, it is just in a different forum. Just go back a spell and remember "the great reefer debate" or say the debate of "the van against the straights" and how the straights take all the van freight.

Maybe, but if I were to debate someone, my preference would be to have someone in a related field such as expedite, verses say a group of (fill in the blank). The camaraderie just isn't the same as proven by years on this forum.

OMG....I leave for a couple of days and look at all the madness.;) Seriously, this is the "soapbox" . Which is by its very nature a exchange of ideas and opinions whether political or otherwise. It is a avenue for expediters to share opinions on a variety of subjects and to kill time while...

Take your latest example. They (liberals) want to extend unemployment. They again, want to borrow to do it. Nothing complicated. Yep.....it is a liberal thing. They of course would want everyone with a job to pay for that, but oops...we are tying up their money and extra new taxes on Obamacare.

That is what the (mainly liberals) can't their head around. They want the quick feel good experience, and when we continually borrow, they are stepping on the poor a little harder. Politicians are looking for the next vote rather than 5 or 10 years down the road.

On a smaller scale, Illinois is a perfect example of out of control debt. They are spending a billion and a half per year just to service the debt. That is quite a lot of interest payments that they get nothing for. The idea to "just keep borrowing" does come with a price. At some point, those...

Within the body of the Wiki information, some (liberals) are saying it wasn't the government, and the right says otherwise. The first clue should be that Fanny and Freddie are broke and are in need of another bailout. That is not the banking industry although they certainly do have their...

It depends on whether the bearings in the turbo were affected. They can test it to find that out. If the vehicle has a lot of miles then you may want to replace it anyways.

Certainly seemed to be living ok. Didn't seem to have a problem paying for his partying or his musical equipment. Seemed to be happy that he was able to scam the system with ease. No requirements at all other than reapplying ever year and get his check. These stories are knee deep through the...

Very true. To eliminate that problem is why you put time limits on this stuff or make them work for the benefits if they want them after a certain period of time. Plenty of non-skilled jobs available they could do if they want a endless cycle of collecting from the taxpayers.

Out of the "free stuff" they can get, what would you say is misrepresented? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bP_izYhdehY

That is only looking at welfare and not the other free stuff they get. Like subsidized housing, utilities, subsidized food, cable, free internet, free medical, discount transportation, free cell phones, and the list goes on. This is how you have people on welfare shopping for 200 shoes, have x...
