  • Many, many years ago, I heard a joke about the difference between a terrorist and a "tenured professor"....the difference being you could negotiate with the terrorist. I reckon in today's society, you could substitute nearly anyone for the "tenured professor".

    Humm, and you guys are baffled as to why you are called terrorist and racist. Maybe go back and read what you've written/said in the past and present, then you might figure it out? Or not. I just call you guys hypocrites. But that's just my opinion, and only yours counts. So it goes......

  • I think the most important thing we can do as Americans when our Country is still in Crisis is come together, and help each other......

    Our triple AAA rating just dropped to AA

    I think its time for all of us to set aside our differences and say a little pray ! This is a sad sad time for our country

    Banks failed

    The economic policy we had with Europe our Government created the Smoot-Hawley Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies.

  • CJW

    After I posted my comment I looked at yours again and see you didn't want to know how the depression happened, but how we got out of it. My mistake.

    I don't have the answer as I wasn't born then and my parents and grandparents that did go through it never talked to me about it. So my only source would be to look for information about it.

  • Boehner was pushed into the corner by his fellow Repugs and couldn't find his way out.

    There should be spending cuts, AND what about those big corporations who manufacture their products overseas paying diddly squat for labor....and avoiding taxes ? We could use some tax revenue from them.....

    Lets get rid of those Bush era tax breaks !

  • Yeah lets not tax the rich corporations a little more, lets just take away from the old and the poor. Such a better route to take.

  • I was talking about the elderly who live on a fixed income and take all sorts of expensive medications so they can live a few more years... Some of those people also receive a food stamp card.

    The amount on the card is based on all adults in the household, income and number of children or no children. It's not much and if they can't balance their budget very well they could spend all the money on their card soon as they get it and then have the rest of the month to get through...

    I can remember when I used to eat a bag of chips for lunch because it was cheaper then buying all the fixing to make a nice lunch. It got me through to dinner time. I can remember when I had 7 kids living with me,(only 3 were mine) we ate a lot of rice and had popcorn for a treat. No name brand cereal either, or for that matter no name brand anything.... My boys were ashamed to have to go to school sometimes wearing high waters for pants.... but we got thought it

    The drug folks or the overweight girls I am not their judge.......God will judge them including you CJW.... It's what you do here that counts for your place in heaven....

  • Sounds good to me. They certainly could use a little shilacking up on the hill.... I still want to see those corporations like Wal Mart have to pay a little more in Taxes. Heck they get almost all their products from China. Here's a coule questions Zook........ Do they get paid while on their 5 week vacation? How do you feel about Donna working for a store that has or buys their products from China?

  • I was talking about the legislators getting paid while on their 5 wk vacation.

    I'm not against anyone who works at Wal Mart, and in this town there's not to many places to work. lol !

    Pat fuels up at the Maverik store.

    CJW I used to buy directly from China from several different factories over there. I could send them a design of what I wanted and they would make it. The reason I bought from there was some of my dog clothing was in demand during fall and winter months. So while I was making each piece myself I had china's product to sell. So I was never out of product to sell... Times have changed since Oct 2008 for my business. This year has been a little better but not like it was when I first started my business back in 2000

  • Zook I guess you have been skipping over my posts.

    Yeah and speaking of sports I wouldn't mind seeing Tiger Woods have to pay more tax or Michael Vick
