You paint with a brush which is overly broad. I know younger people in jobs who work their butts off.
You don't think I earn my pay? I beg to differ.
So vote their collective behinds out of office and give them a permanent vacation. I tire of hearing these gripes and seeing polls with 14% approval for congress, yet the incumbent re-election rate is over 90%.
They can't be too bad if you keep sending them back to Congress and their other elected jobs.
How about having Congress loan money only to people who can afford to pay it back, and not punish banks with fines for good business practices in lending? Congress writes the rules the banks play by. Congress mandated that banks accept a certain % of sub prime loans. I know people with jobs in the $30-40K/year brakcet who were approved for over $250K in home loans. They didn't take them, but the money was there if they wanted it.
Again, an awfully broad brush. Prior to the Soviet invasion, women were doing pretty well in Afghanistan. There are also majority muslim countries with secular governments where women are allowed freedom.
Ahhhh, back to the war is about oil.........
What have oil prices done since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Last time I checked they went up.
Here's an idea:
Drill where the oil and Natural Gas are available in the US, get GE back in the business of producing Nuclear reactors for civilian use, open up Yucca Mountain (but whatever you do, leave that waste in such a manner so we can get to it later......we might find uses for it), and end the NIMBY movement with regards to energy.
Either that or go back to an early 19th century societal energy use across the board.
I have no issue with either option, but pick one and deal with the reality. You CANNOT have things both ways.
