McCain/Palin ???

I think it is terribly sad...but terribly typical of the Cons to sneer at someone beginning their career in public service as as community organizer.

They say they don't like big government - but the government has grown bigger every time they are in office. They say they support community-based solutions yet belittle the experince gained there (as if being mayor of a town about the size of the high school I attended is impressive!)

Say one thing...do another...you were expecting something different from this group???

Any group

Isn't that the truth!?

It really galls me when The Candidate "promises" to
"(fill in the lame promise)"

* Reduce Taxes
* Increase Programs
* Reduce Spending
* "GIVE" us anything
* and a dozen other hollow 'promises'

Do they REALLY Think that I 'buy' that stuff??

(On second thought, I guess I do *buy that stuff* ---
Every time I pay my Taxes!)



I wonder how may MILLIONS of votes "NONE of the Above"
would receive if that choice was offered on Election Day?

I know lol isn't it funny how all of those things contradict each other. Lower taxes but more programs, reduce spending but give us anything.

WAKE UP PEOPLE... it CAN'T be both lol Nothing is free... it all has to be paid for somehow lol

This has long been my argument about GWB. He starts a war and lowers taxes. You cannot fight a war with LESS money.

So, he borrows the money to pay for it from the Chinese.

Soon the Chinese will own the U.S.

Solid Econ 101 as he likes to say.

p.s. Many of the expenses for his war are not included in the budget deficit. It would be even LARGER if all the expenses were included.

Maybe they already do, and no one has told us

Perhaps... So what is the answer? (I hate that I still have to add the disclaimer, but here goes... I would have replied to ES, but she is still 'ignoring' me. Childish, but what are ya gonna do. I apologized for being a tool.)

Seriously, I am certianly no expert in macro-economics, but really, what is the answer to this issue? Sure, we would all like stuff to be "made in the USA". But the facts are this... The cost of US produced goods rarely comes close to that of goods made overseas. Generally, the overseas product is also of superior quality.

What is to blame for that? Unions? Our fat arsed lazy selves? What?

FWIW, I care very much about this issue. I has a great deal to do with my business.

We know the problem, lets hear some solutions. Here are mine.

1.) Limit Labor Unions. Yes, a fair wage should be expected, but $30 an hour to push a button in a steel plant?

2.) Eliminate sales tax on US produced goods.

3.) Education. Lets actually teach our kids real world skills, rather than worry about sex ed and all the nanny state crap.

I've got more, but lets hear yours.
