Why of course they can queer it, because the ruler is made of silly putty.
Carter was clumsy, though. He didn’t know the art of cooling out the mark every time.
Reminds me of how his mother took him to live in a third world environment and left the step dad when he started hanging around with successful businessmen. She didn’t want that for her son, probably wanted him to learn empathy. This is what he now wants for us. Wants us to feel what it is like. Wonder how gen ipad kids are going to like it when their goodies are gone, but they are noble of spirit?
though I’m sure there out there, I don’t have links. But I do have first hand experience with regard to layoffs from these companies:
NORTHROP GRUMMAN- 2nd largest defense contractor
LOCKHEED MARTIN- Largest Defense contractor
L-3 COMMUNICATIONS - Huge company, not sure how big but they are international
I gave a damn, just not for Romney. I don't buy the argument "we need to get the socialist out of office by electing a socialist." That just doesn't make sense.
But again maybe YOU don’t want to be part of that because they might not opt for the Caviar Spoiler.
Ah, so because I reject the bucket of poison marked 'R' then it's because it's not caviar? There's one fatal flaw in your argument: Obama and Romney both are the poison that is socialist. Indeed Romney could very well have been worse: do you really expect congress to block "our guy"?
The GOP thought they could get the secondary thing, winning, by making it primary (that attribute called "electability"). In doing so, they neglected the first thing ("standing for something"), in fact the only thing, having a candidate that was truly different than the other guy.
There's a freeper with personal experience with Romney, fieldmarshaldj, ask him if he could pull the lever for Romney, and why.
Decent article today in USA Today that Bernanke’s actions in Sept wrecked Romney’s chances. Good reminder.
Who needs to work? I’ve got me my foo stams, my Obamaphone, and Obama is so kewl!
You are setting up a gaggle of strawmen that I never argued for. I only pointed out that it’s likely that if people are truly educated in generalities, they will go for the Republican because that’s the only reasonable AND viable party left. Now maybe you feel that it’s a bad thing, therefore you don’t want to be part of it. But don’t set up a lot of strawmen that I never argued in order to justify wanting to keep the Democrat voters in the dark.
It ain't just the big boys laying off.
Yep: State Budget Solutions' third annual State Debt Report shows total state debt over $4 trillion.
Market-valued unfunded public pension liabilities make up more than half of all state debt, accounting for $2.8 trillion of the total. These market-valued pension liabilities provide a realistic view of the money owed to public pension systems as a result of years of skipped payments, borrowed funds, and inaccurate discount rate assumptions.Added to this: Storms on the Horizon - Richard W. Fisher, President and CEO Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, May 28, 2008
For the existing unfunded liabilities (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security) to be covered in the end, someone must pay $99.2 trillion more or receive $99.2 trillion less than they have been currently promised. This is a cold, hard fact.But, who's left to pay the bills: 165 Million Americans Are Dependents of the State : Is Tyranny Next?
New research from Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee Jeff Sessions (R-AL) reveals that this reality may already be here, with more than 107 million Americans on some form of means-tested government welfare.Add to that 46 million seniors collecting Medicare (subtracting out about 10 million on Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, and other senior-eligible programs already included in Sessions’ means-tested chart) and 22 million government employees at the federal, state, and local level — and suddenly, over 165 million people, a clear majority of the 308 million Americans counted by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2010, are at least partially dependents of the state.
The 22 Hispanics laid off were undoubtedly Obama voters. How did that work out for you guys?
Isn’t it pretty obvious by now, that America must crash and burn before people will, even then, possibly come to their senses?
I was watching Judge Judy on Monday evening, and the ‘plaintiff’ was a convicted drug dealer from Ohio living in subsidized housing for $2/month. HIS RENT WAS $2! He had been receiving unemployment checks for over a year. His multiple kids were on Medicaid. He admitted not marrying his baby mama b/c then he would receive less gov’t money.
He was suing baby mama for ‘stealing’ $4,000 worth of his electronics. A 3D TV, XBox, all kinds of stuff.
Judge Judy went ballistic and asked him WHY and how he had this type of money to spend on toys when his kids were on Medicaid. As a taxpayer, she was outraged. His answer was ‘why would I not?’
She dismissed his case. The whole case was the epitome of the classic Obama voter.
If you thought the Bain Capital treatment they gave Mitt during the campaign was disgusting, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
The executives making these layoffs are going to be drawn and quartered in public for Crimes Against Humanity. You watch.
> why do you think Gary Johnson, a virtual unknown, got ~1% of the presidential vote?
Because there are ignorant boneheads voting that don’t understand how much damage the rats can do.
Between these idiots and the “principled conservative” that protested by not voting because they could not get skittles with their pony, we now have to deal with a much bigger mess.
Cowards and traitors.
Obamacare will do it to a lot of businesses.
The GOP was too restrained to actually do something effective about Obamacare, a program that still fails honest plebiscites. Now it has to deal with the consequences of that chickenness.
I don’t know what was stupider, his going before Judge Judy or her refusing to sustain the case just because he was a louse (if the evidence truly supported it, which it might not have). Justice is supposed to be impartial, to the louse and to the virtuous alike.
Don’t forget the debt and inflation. When it takes loads of dollars worth burning to pay benefits, what’s the point of them? Welfare benefits aren’t going to be of much use come soon enough.
