I think you just addressed the one thing in your post that people can agree on. Heck, we learned that from the movie Hoffa.:) I think the ??s were regarding statements like "designed to fail", "Romney will get rid of them", "He will also get rid of Medicare and welfare", "Crimes will soar"...

The word God is not in it. How does that translate to a snub? Does that mean that the Constitution snubbed God as well since the word does not appear there? Just askin. :confused:

15 years from now we will all be able to think back and say: Remember when our national debt was only 16 trillion? Scary but possible if something doesn't change.:(

Seems appropriate since they were the nominees and it was their convention? Doubt it. That would be like assuming that Mitt and Sen. Marco Rubio are buddies because Rubio spoke at the RNC. I doubt that Rubio and family will be hangin at the Romney mansion for Thanksgiving dinner.:) Sorry...

If you think I am going to defend Obama then think again. :) I was merely talking about economics. As for waiting for the first Tuesday in November? I dream of the the day when we can walk in and vote for an independent 3rd party canidate and vote "for" someone instead of voting "against"...

You asked this question and I gave you an honest answer. Not sure why that launched you into a 4 paragraph rant telling me what I already know about the misfortune of others caused by a deep recession. Yes, I am aware. :confused: Unlike you however I am not naive enough to blame this whole...

I am and you should be too.:cool: In 2008 fuel prices were at their peak and freight volume was low. Unfortunately, fuel prices are back near that peak but our freight volume is up and so is our average per mile. I don't ask people about their $ but it seems like my expediting friends are...

HUH?!?! If you have consistently lost 3% over the past 3 years it has little to do with who was president and more to do with who is managing your portfolio. It is common knowledge that the stock market took a dramatic fall in 2007 through the beginning of 2009 and has recovered consistently...

No political mileage in that.:( Absolutely, and another stroke of genius from the Obama camp! When your opponent has a gazillion more dollars than you it pays to maximize every advantage you can and this one seems to be paying off. Remember, this money is not just being released willy...

"According to the bill's author, Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, the program directs employers to withhold 3 percent of their workers' pay unless the employee opts out of the savings program. It would be administered by a seven-member board chaired by the state treasurer." So let me get...

Different from Obama. The better part is mere speculation and only time will tell. Don't ever assume that someone can't do a worse job. ;)

The market is very limited when looking for a used straight truck with shower so you just need to keep checking frequently. If you are ambitious, another option is to look for a used tractor with a shower and then convert it to a straight truck. If you search Truck Paper they have a keyword...

He made no such promise. Opps! Wrong quote. Ryan was referring to the speech that Obama made at the Janesville plant: "I know that General Motors received some bad news yesterday, and I know how hard your governor has fought to keep jobs in this plant. But I also know how much progress...

With you on that one. Yes. Many advantages to a biz background. Can't help but think someone with a lot of success in the used car sales business would fair well.:D

Absolutely they ceased production in 2009; however, the CEO announced his plans to close that factory along with 3 others In 2008 meaning that the wheels were already in motion. The company saved over $1 billion from those closings and other cut backs. Hard to argue with those numbers. Is it...

Is it fair that everyone who utilizes an automobile must pay for insurance in able to participate? If so, would it be fair to extend that argument to healthcare by recognizing that the reality is that everyone who lives here and breathes here does or will use our healthcare system at some...

Good question: Clinton presided over the longest period of peacetime economic expansion in American history. That all fell apart when GWB decided that he would be the first to cut taxes while financing a war. Then when the Clinton "pay as you go" requirement expired it was off to the...

How do you run the financial side like a business? One of the keys to business success is increasing revenues while cutting expenses. Increased revenues is key to business survival. If you attempt to raise our Government revenue through taxes the people will turn on you. Mitt Romney's plan...

I say yes on this although I hesitate due to your lack of experience at this point. You will want the owner available for guidance and you will need to be able to determine if that guidance is on point. We quickly learned that our first fleet owner had been off the road too long and was not...

Unfortunately, the Government is far from a business and cannot be run like a business. I am not just referring to the obvious which is a lack of a profit motive which drives private business toward efficiency and profit but also how they are able to manage. Sure, a business person understands...
