Yeah, I'm sure it will take some time to crunch all the numbers. Some growth is better than nothing, pitty it isn't evenly applied. Some places will fair better than others. I know its easier said than done but people need to go where the jobs are, otherwise they may be in for a long wait.
[quote]Concerned? yes. But then the ignorance of the vast majority of americans is a chronic sickness. [/quote] With a direct affect to my wallet, now more than ever....I am frightened, well past concerned. To think some star-struck 18 year old that may not have even paid a dime in taxes yet could be the decisive voter this year sends shivers. I am glad everyone gets a vote in the US, I just hope it is based on facts and not some golly gee whiz popularity contest cause my guy
Recession- short, simplified definition- two or more quarters of negative growth
If you want to get technical I believe his first name "Barack" is Muslim too (I could be wrong). I think the people (at least on the left) have decided that his name is a non issue. I don't put too much stock in it myself. The thing that creeps me out a bit is that Obama sounds a little too much like Osama and it puts me off. There is something to be said if the USA’s enemies could vot
Island Dog, Daiwa ... I'm with you both. Every day I drive past help wanted signs that go unfilled. Many people just find it easier to stop paying their bills than to find a way... part of the "it's not my responsibility" generation. It would also naive to think politics were not involved in this issue. <span style="font-size: 7.5pt; color: black; font-family: "Verdana&quo
His name could be Barak Hussein Hitler Stalin Pol Pot Obama and he would still get the majority of the black vote. Color trumps names any day of the week as far as some people go. The far left "anyone but Bush" crowd (even though he's not running) don't really give a damn whose on the Democratic ticket, otherwise Richardson seemed to have the best qualifications. <span st
You forgot the fascists... he would invade the adjoining apartment for living space. declare those inhabitants enemies of the state, and put those tenants to work in labor camps. Peter, Paul and
Dr Guy thanks. Read so much of your stuff, it feels like I know you already. I've actually been popping in and out of JoeUser for a few years now. I don't write articles (never seem to have the time), but I try to read as many of the featured posts as possible and reply if I’m so inclined. There are plenty of talented (or at least opinionated) people here to keep me entertained and informed. Anthony R- I think you hit the nail on the head
ParaTed2k Obama the Democrat, Hillary the Democrat or McCain the Democrat... what's the difference?Would you have voted for McCain as Kerry's running mate? I'm not interested in the party name, if a Democrat wants to enforce illegal immigration, shrink the govt., reduce spending, especially on social ent
To all the Republicans that say they will not vote for McCain, they might as well just cast a vote for the Democratic choice then, because that is essentially what they are doing. There are less Republicans than Democrats across the nation. I hardly am in lock step with McCain, not by a long shot, he wasn’t my dog in the race, but I won't cut off my nose to spite my face. So don't vote if that's your choice, but don't be upset with what you e
He was just covering his own a-s. Everyone knows it takes the govt. years to plan anything. An inside 9/11 job would have had to start under his presidency! I don't like Bill much but he scored points with me on this one.
Sure the UN might still serve some good. Here's my problem with it... The U.S. (i.e. the taxpayers) foots a disproportionately large part of the bill. Someone explain to me why I should be paying taxes so some nut jobs like Chavez can bad mouth the U.S.? Freedom of speech? What about manners? He would surely silence anyone speaking out against him in his home country the way he rails against others. He's not the only village idiot on the block either t
Maybe in 40 years someone will be complaining about todays kid shows. I just want to know who would want to watch all that old stuff now? I looks so dated. I was facinated by Speed Racer in the 60's when I was a kid. About a year and a half ago I bought all the epps on DVD, still haven't finished them (some are pretty bad). Just goes to show you things change, no matter how much we wish they wouldn't.
If kids who have no health coverage are moved to private health coverage, who will pay for it? Read what the president said.... He did not say " poor kids without insurance", he said " kids without insurance" i.e. the parents just don't buy it for them. If a parent is presented with a choice
Create Date: 4/3/2003 9:54:26 AM I was an early Drengin.net subscriber...That's how I found JoeUser. In 2003 I had just retired from the Navy and was in college. Now I'm a defense contractor teaching network security. Funny I've never posted any articles, never seem to have the time to just write my thoughts down. I do enjoy reading everyone else's though, a post a reply now and then to boot. One day perhaps.
Here’s an easy fix for this and any other entitlement program: 1. Fund it at its previous level (I suppose a little govt. charity can be good) 2. Anyone wishing to pay more (to support the proposed level) can do this through their own taxes by sending in a payment pledge or check a box on their tax return. 3. Sit back and see how much real support this bill gets. What this would do is allow anyone that wants to fund a bill do
The problem Col is the Iranians don't want the IAEA to monitor them (at least not completely). So there lies the rub: we don't want the mouse watching the cheese and they don't want our cat watching the mouse.

Is it just me, or does the Reaper have a Motley Crue symbol on it? It's a Blue Oyster Cult symbol. Looks like it was superimposed on the photo.
Thanks Brad.... now if I can just convince those Swedish Nobel board members, that prize will be mine next year!

I think all the GOP candidates need to stop finger pointing each other and start explaining how/what they are going to do for the country. People obviously don’t care about past performance (Hillary and the national healthcare issue back in the 90’s comes to mind), they want to know what you are going to do right now. To me at least, none of these candidates seem to be really getting behind a particular issue or two, inciting passion. Hillary is alread
Oh….and special thanks to Mr. Gore for inventing the internet, thereby allowing me to get this "asteroid problem" information out to the public. Couldn’t have done it without cha.
I believe an asteroid is going to destroy all life the planet in the future. We need to construct advanced nuclear warheads and missiles to defeat this threat. I have never personally used a nuclear device, so I’m not a hypocrite. Scientists say it has happened in the past and the impact on Jupiter a few years back demonstrate the feasibility of such an event occurring here. Please e-mail this to everyone you know and pass it on. I don’t have a private
If paying into Social Security stopped today, how many people would take that extra money in their paycheck and save it? Assuming a person never makes more than minimum wage in their entire life, they would realize about $1000 per year or about $83.33 per month in “saved” social security payments. Assuming the cash “saved” is placed in an IRA at 5% fixed rate (not an impossible rate to achieve on average over 45 years) that person would have $168863.02
If power were pulled out of thin air, somebody would not like it. Your right Brad, Until someone miniturize the collector (in size and price) it won't catch on widespread.
