Charging people more, raising taxes and fines on businesses would reduce the deficit!? I think everyone knows that. Does anyone believe that this money would not be wasted on something else? Not I. This whole thing is such a joke. Better shove it through now while the weather is warm and people have forgotten about shoveling snow this last winter just like they will this coming winter. The worst.

But I am in the situation that pabow was talking about. I have had a good job for the past 12 years, then all of the sudden.........Nothing. I always say I am too big to fail, and I will get by. But I just want everyone to know that not everyone is just waiting for their free cheese at the mailbox :) in fact most of us here in mi. are just praying for something to happen. When that GM plant laid off, it really threw a lot of people into the ring to fight for jobs. Ah well, we will thrive again. See you guys in November :) Thanks for listening.

Anyone that knows me knows that I have been against just about everything the gov. has done since the very first bail out. Cash for clunkers, bailouts, stimulus, health care bill, and the coming cap and tax, all failures. Here is the big BUT.....I am one of the people that is over my limit in the area of unemployment. I have worked my butt off all of my life and never drawn unemployment for more that a month in my life. I have now been laid off from the non union plant that I work at and they are looking like they are closer to closing their doors than calling anyone back. I have a Mortgage and a family to support with no work at all in my area (that will meet my financial needs) I live in mid michigan and am actually toying with the idea of looking for work out in the gulf or something. I appreciate that small businesses are hurting and everything, but do me a favor and try not to make me feel like a loser for collecting unemployment. Yes I realize that I have the internet and stuff, I never said I was on the verge of being homeless. But I may NEED this bill to pass to continue to keep paying my house off. It would not be hard for any of you to check the help wanted ads in mid michigan and if you see something in there that I did not apply for, feel free to tell me about it :) Thanks.....sorry for the whining, just wanted to give you another point of view.

If you think raking a dead man over the coals is going to help win this 'war' then have at it. But don't try to make me out to be some sort of girly man because I know how it is actually won. If you think that them playing little clips and showing little comments on the daily show does not turn people away. You are very wrong friend. I watch the news so I know what the other side is saying, it makes it easier to win arguments that way. Oh, and don't call me nancy...you don't know me and have no idea what I do or what I am like. But I am on the same side as you. :) Tue, 9 Feb 2010 22:23:19 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56075574 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56013555 Yes, but I agree with cooldaddy. It not only seems a little low but also gives the left more ammo to make the right seem more like the rabid, insane and heartless maniacs they try to paint us as. C'mon, you guys watch the news, you know what they say. I would also like to say thanks to all the marines that are in here. THANKS! :) Tue, 9 Feb 2010 13:11:33 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56013555 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.e0b08e9e64fe15a987c1cf73dd8c5fe2.521&show_article=1#IDComment56009269 I did look it up and you are splitting hairs and being intellectually dishonest and you know it.

Good call Irish :) Tue, 9 Feb 2010 11:56:46 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.e0b08e9e64fe15a987c1cf73dd8c5fe2.521&show_article=1#IDComment56006663 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.e0b08e9e64fe15a987c1cf73dd8c5fe2.521&show_article=1#IDComment56006253 O.k. liberals. This seems like it could be a little serious huh? Now you tell me, what do we do now. Lets assume that we already went in front of every podium and went onto every blog and comment section we could find and blamed Bush already and that didn't work. What would you do? This is what a President is for. Personally, I'm thinking that nothing is going to happen but lets assume something is....what should we do? Wait until it does THEN go into the blogs and blame Bush more?

It's not that the kids and wife are so happy and well behaved, its just that they don't want to face what would happen if they dared to make a sound. (man, it's kind of early in the morning for that kind of talk) Tue, 9 Feb 2010 11:40:51 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56005256 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56004937 Oh no, does that mean I don't believe in God!!?? Cuz I sure don't believe in liberals :) In fact, if anyone ever hears me say 'ONLY THE LIBERALS CAN HELP US NOW!' ....please put a gun to my head, cuz that means all hope is lost :) Tue, 9 Feb 2010 11:37:09 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9DO6O4G0&show_article=1#IDComment56004937 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.af09375837a21e6bf486e0c8aed43c9a.01&show_article=1#IDComment50028313 lol...ok, you got me with that one :) This must be part of the "tax CUT that 95% of Americans will enjoy" that I heard so much about during election time.

Some people can barely afford food let alone paying more for bags that should be free.

Care to explain how people that go and buy 150.00 a month on groceries for there family all at one time are going to fit it in a backpack? A lot of real honest to goodness Americans do that. Maybe you can come with me next time and help me cart my groceries from the store to my car and then from the car to my house. :) Fri, 1 Jan 2010 20:02:58 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.af09375837a21e6bf486e0c8aed43c9a.01&show_article=1#IDComment49960558 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.af09375837a21e6bf486e0c8aed43c9a.01&show_article=1#IDComment49960150 What a great way to start the new year, with a new tax. I for one and getting damn sick and tired of having to pay for the few that screw everything up. Hows bout we run it in the opposite direction and reward those that do not litter with a great big tax CUT? Whats that you say? There is no way of telling WHO is throwing what in the river? Thats right, there isnt....but the government sure is champing at the bit to punish everyone for what a few do. This is making me beyond mad. I am sick of the lib rich cities getting all screwed up and punishing everyone in the country because of their misdeeds, and then they have the nerve to call people that live in fly over country (with the clean air) backwards hicks and what not . I for one save my bags and use them for other things but I will be damned if I buy cloth bags to fix a problem I had NOTHING to do with! Oh, and before you say this is not the rest of the country. This is just the hole that a mouse made so that eventually a RAT can get into your pantry.

Either way....MERRY CHRISTMAS. :) Fri, 25 Dec 2009 01:22:29 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.bfa31bb71423ae24c6092cc685173db9.cc1&show_article=1#IDComment48953085 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.bfa31bb71423ae24c6092cc685173db9.cc1&show_article=1#IDComment48917168 RP1, I am sure you are sitting at home right now with some sort of smug "I sure put everyone in their place" look on your face after all of your comments. But to me you sound like a numbskull. I am curious how you know that people don't voice their opinion until after they hear it from their news outlets. Also, the cops did NOT act stupidly, if someone is acting like an idiot and not cooperating with the police it doesnt make one bit of difference WHO the person is. "Oh, you're a professor, by all means disturb the peace." As far as this being a terrorist attack, I call it as I see it...as much as you don't want to say that there was a terrorist attack on american soil under Obamas watch. (and I dont believe for a minute that is why you don't want to call it that) It must be tiring to have to play devils advocate all of the time against people lke us. Maybe some day we will see the light. Merry Christmas........... I am going shopping now, so if you respond and I don't...don't have a smug overload :) Thu, 24 Dec 2009 17:22:40 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.bfa31bb71423ae24c6092cc685173db9.cc1&show_article=1#IDComment48917168 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9CF8SIO0#IDComment46475381 thanks Roger....we will get back in the black sooner or later I am sure. We just have to adapt and overcome until then. I am too big to fail :) (Problem is, the longer I sit in this computer chair, the bigger I get) :) Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:17:45 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9CF8SIO0#IDComment46475381 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D9CF8SIO0#IDComment46448150 I meant what you said is about the same thing as what I said you would say..."you dont understand the economy...blah blah blah." The question I asked is why is the sky high deficit ok when it is your party doing it? But you answered that by saying you are not a dem. I am ready to believe you :) It seems you do not understand that we DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY FOR ANY OF THIS CRAP. As far as emotions...what do you think all of the "not caring for sick Americans"? Healthcare is no where near the top of Americas top priorities right now. You should stop blaming the last 8 years too. This guy was hired to fix the problems and he is making it worse. Please Please Please....try to look at the facts in a non bias way. If I had one single republican in Michigan that could be voted out...believe me, I would vote him out!

You will have to forgive me if I don't do jumping jacks at the the thought of leveling asphalt into holes in the road with a shovel. I never complain about hard work or doing my part, but don't expect me to act like this road and bridges thing is for real. I live in the orange cone capital of the world.
