That I do agree with. The other bomb soon to be dropped is underfunded pensions. As it currently stands, we are upside down over a trillion (with a T) dollars. What is even funnier, Obama's answer to jobs is to hire more government workers with pensions. I can't stop laughing at the foolishness.

I think some are in for a rude awakening. Just look today as they cut the SS increase. As you have less "rich", guess what? As for the entitlement crowd, you do have to seperate the retirees, and those not capable of working from the rest. People who really need assistance with regards to...

There in lies the biggest problem. Many think we owe the most to foreign countries like China etc. Not true. The largest groups are in the US. China is maybe 8 percent at the moment.

I as well would go with both the plugs and the wires. Opt for good wires, not the cheapest.

Quite ok by me. ;)

Very true. Many of the poor in these other countries are living in shacks and tents mostly with a dirt floor. Electricity and indoor plumbing are considered luxuries. There is no cable, flat screens, xboxes, free cell phones, high dollar tennis shoes, you name it. Not all, but many here in the...

Don't really know? Might have been on another site. Either way, it is a factual statement regardless of the thought origin. Seems like it would be a hard point to argue if one was to say there are better off in many of the third world countries.

If you follow Chicago politics, this is right out of their playbook. As far as Obama, "desperate people do desperate things". I think with no record to run on they are pretty much stuck with this strategy.

Very few people in the US really know what poor is until they visit some foreign countries that truly have issues. The definition of poor is much different. Many work and make a small fraction of what the entitlement crowd here expects to get.

Well....there is that.

No not exactly. His current job is to represent WI. He wouldn't be performing that job if he didn't bring in what is AVAILABLE for his state. Once it passed, that is his function. If he turned it away, then it is still spent. Just goes to another state. He did what was best for WI. People in...

That is really what it comes down to. He voted against the stimulus and after it passed, it his job or any others to get as much as they can for their respective state.

Harbor freight would be another. Locations all over. Harbor Freight Tools

JD sends out emails on truck locations.

We go to other sources for freight using Panther's authority. Call it brokering, some call it backhaul, or several other things. Some loads are real decent and some are losers. Take some time to get going at it but we usually have set people we call when exercising that option.

I look at a lot of boards and there is freight out of Denver. Bad news is, not much in the way of expedited van freight.

It has already started. Just look at the people and businesses that are exempt from it.

Just another revenue stream for Chicago. I agree, nothing will change with their crime and murder rate.

The Obama luzers just keep coming, although this one got a small grant under Bush. No need to raise taxes. Your money is in all these pathetic investments. Solyndra, the sequel? Bankrupt solar firm, DOE facing scrutiny over panel problems | Fox News
