  1. Argentina just announced that it's taking over pension funds, a pretty obvious admission that it needs the cash now and will worry about actually funding pensions later. Credit markets are assigning a 94% probability that Argentina will default.
  2. Social Security is suppose to be a trust fund. You put money and draw it out when the time comes. The problem is there is no money in the trust fund! The money just goes into the general fund. There is an IOU somewhere for all the money put there. So in other words its just another tax. If any business ran a trust fund the way the government does, they would be in jail. And remember, when this was set up most people died before the reached 65 or 70. So the government never really believed the payouts would be what they are today.
  3. "It's sad that McCain can't fully articulate an economic plan that encompasses all Americans, instead of redistributing income upwards to the super rich". So if I get this correct, and please correct me if I am wrong, by the government not taking money for someone it is "redistributing" their money to them. Is this the same logic they use when congress wants to raise the money going to a social program by by say 25% but they only raise it by 15% so now its a cut?
  4. I read a about a bill Obama had in IL. If I am not mistaken, if it passed all assault style weapons would have to be turned in in 90 days. Think God it didn't pass. I haven't read anything that bad in congress but who knows what they will come up with. I was looking at a Saiga-12. Its an AK style shotgun. Can get 5 or 10 rd clips or a 20 rd attachment. If they also ban ammo it may not affect shotgun shells. My biggest question, when we buy a weapon, I know they do a background check. Do they also record what you are buying? If so buying any thing could later be confiscated. And yes I am new to gun ownership. About a year. Its people like Obama that make me wish I had started buying guns a long time ago. I guess better late then never.
  5. We are only seeing the beginning. When he is in power, no criticism will be allowed.
  6. After Obama is elected , will it be a federal crime to shot his political signs?
  7. I hope this is not the last nail in McCain's presidential runs coffin.
  8. Hope your daughter has a speedy recovery. Mom and Dad also.
  9. The welfare system has become a way of life. It is now becoming a RIGHT. Its not just what we think of as welfare. When someone can get back a couple of thousand dollars by filing a tax return and not have paid in any taxes what do you call it? This will only increase under Obama. He is a classic socialist. Anyone who can watch the plumber video and not see this is a fool. I am afraid there are a lot of fools out there.
  10. I wish the plumber had told this _______, why don't the people he wants to "spread the wealth too" get off their sorry ass and learn how to be a plumber? I will help them get started. The first thing a plumber must know? **** FLOWS DOWN HILL! Get ready!
  11. Found this on of all places Hillary Clinton Forum web site I was at a Sarah Palin event in Philadelphia, at the Park Hyatt Hotel - late Saturday afternoon (Oct. 11th). If you are easily grossed out by the "C" word, I am sorry. But as Andrea says below, if McCain supporters wore a shirt that said "Obama is a ___" or even "Obama is a ____" or "Obama is a ____" at an Obama Rally, they would either be thrown off the premises, have their heads kicked in, or even be detained at the local police station (I know this for a fact: I just had on a McCain button at a recent Obama event and I didn't think I was going to get out alive). Sorry the picture is not clearer. But these four young people were right in front of the hotel. They have on the nicest shirts. There were worse. There was group as well carrying around a fake dead fetus - exclaiming that "abortion should have been the path for Bristol(?) Palin". And quite a few smoke bombs, etc. etc. I also had some nice words thrown at me. There were about 500 organized protesters. And about 500 not so organized at this event. The police and hotel security and secret service were letting me all the way up to the hotel steps. In a few cased ... a few protesters got into the lobby. In my family, the "C" word is about as bad as you can get. Was this reported on the Philadelphia News. No!. Was anyone outraged? No!. All that was on the Philadelphia local news last night was: Obama was at several rallies in Philadelphia earlier in the day (but went home Saturday night to be with his children). Obama and Palin were in Philly on the same day. And was there any mention of Palin - No!. In the Sports section of the local evening news at 11:00PM, they did mention that Palin was at the Philadelphia Flyers game "dropping the first (hockey) puck". The guy said it with a smirk. Then he added that Sarah Palin WAS NOT going home to spend the evening with her children. Sorry the attached picture is not clearer. I need a new camera. Please circulate this to as many people as possible and let them see the double standard. Not good stuff for a Sunday morning. But this is the REAL AMERICA!. - Frank P.
  12. I would get the biggest drive you can find. The cost will not be that much different. Just make sure what ever you get will fit in the laptop. There is not much room to play with.
  13. I also have a Mossberg. Good gun. My first shotgun. It was hard to decide between it and an 870.
  14. He just LOVES being one of our leaders. We had a name foe guys like this when I in school. I understand its the new "F" word.

    So will the appeal be because the jury was a bunch of racist!
  16. The problem with dealing with someone like this is, YOU ARE NOT TELLING HIM WHAT HE WANTS TO HEAR! In my business I hear this all the time. He doesn't understand that what you are telling him is the truth and oh by the way someone has told him all businesses are rich and evil.
  17. If my bank (GreenBank) closed my account everytime a check I deposited from a client bounced I would have been out of business years ago. This just doesn't sound right. I am afraid with the government taking over the banks we are going to be in for a lot of problems. May 1st looks like it will become a national holiday.
  18. How many Republicans did we hear about doing the same thing in 2006? No its not legal. But is it ethical? If it didn't pass the smell test 2006, why should it now? As far as paying a family member in a small business, they better be earning that money if the IRS comes calling. I have read of a lot of people getting burned over this.
  19. Two other things in life that is certain besides death & taxes. 1. When someone tells you something over and over they are lying. How many times did you hear Nancy say the dems. had nothing to do with this mortgage mess. 2. When a politician says they are ethical, they are lying. Here is the latest EXCLUSIVE: Pelosi paid husband with PAC funds $99,000 for rent, utilities, accounting fees Jennifer Haberkorn (Contact) Wednesday, October 1, 2008 EXCLUSIVE: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has directed nearly $100,000 from her political action committee to her husband's real estate and investment firm over the past decade, a practice of paying a spouse with political donations that she supported banning last year. Financial Leasing Services Inc. (FLS), owned by Paul F. Pelosi, has received $99,000 in rent, utilities and accounting fees from the speaker's "PAC to the Future" over the PAC's nine-year history. The payments have quadrupled since Mr. Pelosi took over as treasurer of his wife's committee in 2007, Federal Election Commission records show. FLS is on track to take in $48,000 in payments this year alone - eight times as much as it received annually from 2000 to 2005, when the committee was run by another treasurer. Lawmakers' frequent use of campaign donations to pay relatives emerged as an issue in the 2006 election campaigns, when the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal gave Democrats fodder to criticize Republicans such as former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay of Texas and Rep. John T. Doolittle of California for putting their wives on their campaign and PAC payrolls for fund raising work.
  20. I am sorry Ahmadinejad wasn't doing an inspection.
  21. Government cannot solve this problem. It is the problem! The Dem. leaders and Bush wanted this to pass. They both lost.
