1st off Vicky, I am a "Teabagger" and I may not have a clue about economics but I have been very successfully self employed for the last 20 + years. And you? At 46 I could retire but I enjoy working.(maybe for not much longer though). By WHO, I assume you mean GW. While I agree he was partially responsible for this you have your head in the sand if you don't start by laying this at the feet of the CRA. I might go back a little further to some Nixon policies but I really think the real roots of this current mess started with Carter, and expanded by Clinton, then blown sky hi during GW by the left. As a Libertarian I feel both parties are complicit in this bailout/stimulus crap. Iraq isn't even on the radar compared to the money spent/promised the last 120 days. BTW I wasn't silent with GW either.
Note to self.........If this is what is representative, do not hire any Pepperdine grads.
I used the "Dude" form of address trying to reason with Jr. there. But it does sit kind of funny with my 46 years......
I agree with ynot4tony, and really question your Libertarian claim.
Need a ticket over to any of one of them Eric.....My treat, one way of course.
Dude, maybe you ought to revisit Libertarian ideals. What is with the class envy crap? You want to legislate [financial] equality now? Or maybe tax the hell out of those rich bastards, huh. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Just wondering out loud here.....
[Standing Ovation]. Very well said.
I think the UN needs to move right on out of our country. I'd bet they can find a new home in France or maybe even Venezuela. What a useless corrupt organization.
What a smart a**. If you truly believed in the scientific method you would read the report of 650+ scientists who disagree with the man made global warming crisis. I printed it out ( all 260 or so pages) and have almost finished it. Interesting reading if you really want to educate yourself. Oh I know, all those scientists are supported by those mean old oil companies. Keep telling yourself that. Btw you need to work on that sarcasm thing a bit. You are not very good at it.
Thank you bugmenot, but unfortunately the EPA does whatever the hell it wants to do. I am in an industry that is basically micromanaged by the EPA (energy) and I can tell you that $5.00 gasoline at the pump is still very much in our future due to these clowns. That has been their goal all along. Drop in demand due to the current financial problem is the only reason prices have dropped. The new EPA rules combined with the current administrations attempt to completely decimate the domestic oil and gas industry will completely halt any future recovery. As soon as demand starts back up the prices will go higher than ever before. America doesn't realize yet that putting Salazar in charge of the DOI screwed us to the wall. This guy is going to set the industry back 50 years and he will get away with it because we are all trying to stop a full blown Socialist attack on our country. I said it before and it bears repeating; the lefties found a home in the environmental movement when Reagan chased them underground. Control the energy and you will control the country.
Hey Now! Don't you dare compare Iran to hillbillies. Us hillbillies really resent that. At least we get to drink our 'shine.
