Can't escape in a lake. I'll take the boat to the Caribbean.:cool:

"Operation Safe Driving Program". Translation.---States are low on funds and need revenue. No need to complicate the simple.

Doomed? Not necessarily. Rebellion and riots, most likely.

"If you can't convict, you must acquit". From the OJ trail of course, but no one is going to blame themselves. "It is all the fault of Wall Street". Or at least that is what they go with. Just a little bit more to it than that.

The Feds only direct the pensions for federal employees. Third party investors basically control the other pensions that are out there.

Well there is that. On the local level they were banking on housing value to continue to increase. Bad idea. As housing values drop and the huge foreclosure rate continues, those monies are not there. Drop in a devaluing dollar, and well? I would feel comfortable saying at this point, that no...

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.
