Thanks for the extra bowl!!
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory.On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'
So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle. Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:
'Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.'
LOL....very good spin.
I heard an interview with Hoyer today. He made many statements, in answer to questions about the economy and current legislation. Maybe twenty declarative sentences.
Virtually every one after the initial greetings was a verifable, empirically testable lie. Every sentence of substance was false.I have been following politics for nigh on to fifty years and cannot remember a more malignant, deliberate attempt at creating a total false reality.
This country is in deep hot water.
Well, Nancee is preaching to her choir.
Leaked? Depends if it was either of them..
If you have taken economics courses in college, you know that it is a complex subject not given to quick and easy explanations suitable for this thread, but I can point you in the right direction if you like.
Keynesian economics holds that there is a roll for government in economy's, namely that government spending will stimulate the economy, however since government spending is never as efficient as private spending, and since private spending must be reduced to allow for increased government spending, government spending is wasteful of a society's resources. This is why politically socialist countries inevitably economically under perform politically free markets countries almost exactly to the degree that one is more or less socialist than the other.
Free market economics, known as the Austrian school, espouses that societies perform better if government stays out of economics. Indeed the absolute worst thing you can do for a society is to centrally plan everything. The five year plans of the Soviet Union absolutely ruined the Russian economy.
If you want to know more, research the Austrian school of economics and Ludwig von Mises.

“Like many who have no idea about economics, you contradict without back-up.”
Since you know about economics, I am sure you have heard of the multplier effect. The mulitplier effect follows a dollar spent and determines the total spending power. When a consumer spends a dollar, that dollar circulates and can be the equivilant of up to 5 dollars. When a business spends a dollar, the equivilant can also be up to 5 dollars after the dollar circulates. When the government spends a dollar the circulation can be up to 3 dollars.
While the economy currently does not get us to the top circulation, 5 dollars for each dollar a consumer or business spend, or 3 dollars for each dollar the government spends, there is a reason that the multiplier effect for consumer spending and business spending are always higher than government spending: a consumer has to go back to work to replace the dollar and a business has to order inventory to replace what was sold.
The “stimulus plan” will short change the growth potential since it does nothing, or nearly nothing to put dollars in the hands of consumers and businesses.
She does look and act VERY strange- like she is confused and tuned out
She smiles that big fake smile as if there were some inner prompt that was off by just a tic
I wouldn’t be surprised if she was on some kind of “cold medicine”, or maybe even using Maureen Dowd’s brand of mouth wash
The Worst House Majority Leader in History did not need a single Republican vote. Nor did she get one.
This “leaked” memo is to bully any wavering rats into supporting the fake Stimulus Bill, only 11% of which is for any kind of conceivable stimulus.
Yes, we are.
I wonder if they are all on drugs.. Just look at the new King Obama he looks like he s always looking around for someone to answer the questions for him when ask something by the commie press..
Having lived with someone who was addicted to speed and who suffered when trying to withdraw, I am deeply saddened by some of the One’s mannerisms.
