that's their philosophy alright. there will be losers and a few winners. they don't give a shit. the wealthy hate the middle class. they hate safety nets. they don't care to understand that democracy won't exist without safety nets. they really don't want democracy.....BUSH revealed that.
did he not?

Some time back "Where are you going to get that money? Are you going to tell us lies like you're telling us today? Is that how you're going to fund the war? You don't have money to fund the war or children. But you're going to spend it to blow up innocent people if we can get enough kids to grow old enough for you to send to Iraq to get their heads blown off for the president's amusement."

Ethanol: Sierra Nevada Brewing Co is turning it's annual 1.6 Million gallons of bear yeast waste in to cheap, high grade Ethanol
http://gas2.org/2009/02/09/sierra-nevada-beer...
that's pretty kool. i just had one last night.
One?
The owner Ken Grossman always was pretty progressive. They grow their own hops next door to the brewery. Just a few years ago they were the ninth largest brewery. I went to college and lived just a few blocks away. (Chico, Ca) Watched them grow over the years.
I think Sam Adams beer is made in the U.S. too. We need to start getting some Patriotism back in our blood because Budweiser got their ass sold to Belgium or something. We got to fight against these NAFTA fools and start buying American again when we can.
Sierra Nevada was approached by Budweiser several times but the owner held out. He was driven by principle and was also a huge success. If he had sold, not only would it have become corporate owned but also, it wouldn't be American anymore.
I'm not joking. When I go to the store that stuff is running through my mind. I also drink it down and it tastes good too. Thanks for the info.
... i make exception for blue moon products, though... american owned but brewed in toronto.
their delicious ales have fueled more than one bullfrog rant...
and that red stripe stuff from jamaica is damn tasty in the summertime...
They brew a stout I believe :) that name is familiar.

but lack of details just means hints of nastiness without proof.
So when the grisly details came out in an UK court case (against the wishes of the UK gov and guilty officials), and when you consider the TLA types would have been there too, they didnt just send off a suspect in a box with an invoice and a SAE for their return.
This means US officials would have been present and most likely directing the type and severity of the torture to obtain any info.
They broke every international, US, and moral law code doing so.

Judges tentatively order Calif. inmates released
Feb 9, 6:50 PM (ET)
By DON THOMPSON
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A special panel of federal judges has tentatively ruled that California must release tens of thousands of inmates to relieve overcrowding.
The judges say no other solution will improve conditions so poor that inmates die regularly of suicides or lack of proper care.
They say the state can cut the population of its 33 adult prisons through changes in parole and other policies without endangering public safety.
The three judges said a final population figure would be set later.
In Monday's tentative ruling, the judges said they want the state to present a plan to trim the prison population in two to three years.
Some stuff you can't make up!
and thirty years of growth,
the Prison Industrial Complex is going to scream blue murder,
all that money, profit and overtime and fat salarys.
gone to pot.
:<[)
Some stuff you can't make up!
They would keep the inoffensive potheads in prison and let out the Bundy and Skilling types. Gotta keep the poo-lice occupied and in a job, and the public scared.
valiant rural cops doing the ditch gardening, finding and digging up the Ditchweed (wild industrial hemp plants).
Talk about wasting their time and taxpayers money.
the next step is what raygun did turn out the inmates of the insane assylums onto the streets in thier night gowns! yipppppey going back to the good old bad days!

they will continue to play the msm like a cheap fiddle, they'll keep draining your money for empire-building, they will sabotage obama like they did carter, or (heaven forbid) kennedy.

What part of the country do you hail from. I have a friend named bullfrog in the central part of the Midwest here in America and I thought it would be funny if you were him. Otherwise keep it up and glad to see you around.
Actually I don't think he'd cuss as much as you, but I introduced him to a lot of crazy stuff and it would be cool if he picked it up. Peace.
it's urbana, illinois. onetime home of red grange, roger ebert, hugh hefner, frank gallo & HAL from 2001.

and thanks for the kind words, o.
you've done a bang-up job on this site; i admire your courage and dedication.
i highly doubt i'm the bullfrog you know; i never use the nickname in ordinary life, it's just the name of a song i wrote with my bro...
but of course it never applies to the corporate villains, is it even credible that the TLA types never knew about any of the Republican domestic crimes.
The Feds were so busy running around and harrasing hippys and anti war types, they totally missed Madoff and his ilk.
Madoff needs to pay for his crimes.
i try to remember to use the old comic-book technique to mask my cussing as much as possible.
you know, like $#!+ instead of the real word.
i do this because i realize there might be kids reading.
but i sometimes let one slip.
oh well, i've been cussing since i was 4...
I like the cussing. Helps with the expression. But I know what you mean. I'd hate to see children pick it up. I just figure when you are talking about the dirty business of politics it helps to speak the language and let the truth shine without the politeness and naivete that too many fools suffer from.
...is that we can really let fly in a way you'd never hear at a presidential press conference, but is entirely in line with how ordinary people really talk in private and in public...
and don't kid yourself, it's always been this way. alexander hamilton was as prolific a potty-mouthed trash-talker as has ever walked the earth. and don't get me started on franklin.
Good history.
I appreciate both bull's and O's posts. Keep it up!
SEC enforcement chief to resign
Posted: 03:31 PM ET
The SEC announced Monday that Linda Chatman Thomsen will be leaving the federal agency.
NEW YORK (CNN) — The top enforcement officer of the Securities and Exchange Commission is stepping down, the commission said Monday.
Linda Chatman Thomsen, who came to the SEC in 1995 and took over the
Division of Enforcement 10 years later, plans to return to the private sector.
During Thomsen's four-year tenure, the SEC saw the second- and third-highest number of actions in a single year, including large investigations into Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Merrill Lynch, the commission said in a news release.
But Thomsen and the entire commission came under sharp criticism for their handling of the Bernard Madoff case. Madoff, 70, faces a charge of securities fraud in connection with an international scheme that has cost some investors their life savings. Madoff estimated that investors lost $50 billion, according to the criminal complaint against him.
Some stuff you can't make up!
can we have our money back please (and the Madoff victims).
That job title was a lie, or a slight twisting of reality...
and Obama didn't throw her out on her ear?
Some stuff you can't make up!
Fourteen year of sterling service keeping America's money and economy safe. Thats got to be worth a couple of million in bye bye money.
That "Hunger Motivates the Lazy" line reminded me that during the inaugural decade of the Reaganomics we're still living with, the 1980s, Tracy Chapman had a hit with "Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution", about how poor people were so fed up with being treated badly and not getting help that they were on the verge of revolution. It didn't happen, and it didn't feel like it would happen, even though Reagan's policies increased poverty to levels not seen in decades. People were just too beat down to fight much for their rights, and I think it's still the same today. Maybe even more so, because the sociopathic Reaganite ideology is now three decades entrenched in the public mind, and even Democrats now display the callousness toward the needy that was the province of the Republicans during the 80s. The Republicans have gotten even worse, even more like the hard-hearted Reagan, and the Democrats just follow their example.
So awful it should be banned from human experience...
Ahhhhhh...Rickrolled!

Some radio talker called Mark Williams was on Tweety tonight and called President Obama, President verbosity.
He then proceeded to wank eloquent on how he doesn't know anything about economics but he knows that Keynes was wrong.
They were wrong and the past 20 years is evidence of that.
We are past the breaking point, the sooner those profit driven fucks in DC and Wall St realize that, the sooner we can get this fuckstorm over with.
we get trickled down upon on a daily basis. Who would have thought that so many rich scum would be into water sports.
Keynes isn't who the repubs were following. His theories are what Obama wants to try. Keynes is not trickle down.
If you look at the repuglican plan, it is to plunge the world into poverty, not just the middle-class

These banks are insolvent and all we're doing is making the hole deeper by creating/borrowing more and more money to fix a problem that started because of our creating/borrowing.
CLUE TO THE STUPID PEOPLE.
The Stimulus Bill wont work as long as NAFTA and CAFTA are sending jobs overseas.
The TARP money wont fix shit because these banks are insolvent. The paper I wipe my ass with is worth more than their assets but they wont take the loses. Conundrum.
So, now, Geithner, the man behind TARP I, thinks that creating a bad bank and buying these bad assets at near 1:1 instead of market value will fix the problem.
Only thing is, now the American Taxpayer takes on the 9 Trillion dollars worth of shit.
And you people are alright with this.
The banksters and their Congressional friends are going to do what is profitable for themselves. They are buying up the debt and supposedly securing the future profits of the share holding (middle) class voters.
Thats always what they do, its hard wired into populist politicos.
We could say 'let it burn to the ground and start again'
but IMHO the only important thing is keeping the economy going in some form or shape, total chaos and meltdown would not be a pleasant thing.
Jobs and industries and food supplies would grind to a halt.
Hopefully theres a few sensible types in Washington who care more about the system than profits for lobbyists clients.
Massive graft and corruption is unfortunately the price we are going to have to pay to save the system, the banksters control the financial system and could turn it off if at the the touch of a switch if they wished, its called blackmail.
"behind TARP", in hindsight we now know it was crap... If we only studied it before such rash action. Have you ever noticed what TARP spells in reverse? [PRAT!] That-About explains it... :-P
Study the symptoms not the virus...
Yes well building bridges and infrastructure is important because after all that deficit spending we can never repay fully hoses our economy, people will at least have a nice new bridge to live under. It’s also a great place to start and ass selling business, new business owners economies get stimulated and so do the customers. It’s a win, win situation, America is on a road to recovery.
Let's go further into debt. Woo Hoo!

Gold rises on speculation stimulus may boost inflation
http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/Gold-rises...
What we really need to do is reduce spending, tighten the belt and wait for this to shake out, it's called a correction for a reason, we should have stopped it on the trip up. The spending I mention in first post is more of a fall back since the government is hell bent on throwing borrowed money at it.
No matter what we do it is going to be bad, but deficit spending, investing in infrastructure with money we don't have is worse. The long term repercussions and agony will be far far worse than the pain of tightening the belt.
Everyone keeps referencing FDR's infrastructure building, people forget we held the debt of nations then, we had gold in the vault, we had assets to fall back on. That's gone now, today we are a debt ridden nation owing everyone.
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
That's just ignorant.
The Republicans are doing something neither house did during Bush's term...
of course, their crazy lobbyists want a piece now so the once honorable filibuster is turning into more gifts for the rich.
Joy.
Both parties should be ashamed and anyone who believes anything that comes out of anyones mouth in Washington needs to stop drinking the coolaid.
Except Senator Haney. He had a good idea, give everyone 10k instead of these pet projects that WILL NOT CREATE THE 3 MILLION JOBS YOU IGNORANT PEOPLE THINK IT WILL.
It will help balance the banks balance sheets (for the people who save) and it will create insane amounts of spending.
Or, you can pay to have doctors upload your medical records into a computer database (never minding your rights to privacy)... because that stimulates the economy! Nice how they weaseled 200 pages of that crap... shit the Bushies were famous for. (???)
Crooksandliars... you disappoint. There are still crooksandliars trying to rob the American people, why arent you reporting that? You are no better than those mindless drones who backed Bush for 8 years.
if it's so bad here!
Some stuff you can't make up!
This site, to me, set the standard on reporting on all the crap...
Now some Messiah promises all this stuff but it's all the same...
Appoints the architech of the TARP (Geithner), a Federal Reserve guy who doesnt pay his taxes.
And you people eat it up like lapdogs.
Another guy who's taking money on the side, which everyone can see is illegal, but that's not what everyone's driving home, it's the fact that he didnt pay taxes on it.
Where is the reporting?
I guess I might have to go where SANE people, who arent blinded by partisan lines, you know, someone who doesnt use Morality as a punch line but as a way of life, meet and have rational conversations and point out the blatently crooked.
Have fun be conned out of your money you mindless sheeple. Cuz it's looking more and more like we voted for Legion... and not the savior the nation so desperately needed. Good luck with that.
don't speak for everybody, as that old saying goes,
'the proof is in the pudding'
I had Obama and Franken signs on my lawn, inviting whatever from the reddish neighbours.
Theres always a honeymoon period and giving somebody the benefit of the doubt. And anybody with a brain knew Obama has a mountain plus to cope with, the Republicans burnt the bridges on the scale of Hitler retreating from Russia with the Red Army on his tail.
The sad thing is I thought he was going to really turn things around with the transparency speech/executive order.
Everything's been downhill and I know it's not so much his fault... he put too much trust in that one traitor... Nancy Pelosi. She fucked him.
Geithner will fuck him next.
It's like back in Iraq. You're an invading country and the people are going to fight for their home country. We were put in situations where we had to fire at people...
and now the President, instead of admitting he fucked up when letting Pelosi write the bill to pay off her campaign contributors, he's going to be put in situations where he's going to have to fire.
I'm just glad I got back in time to arm myself before he makes that illegal, too.
It presumably takes time to get the important cards in your hand.
you might be surprised how many pro-NRA 2nd amendment nuts you find on the left -i know tyree and i feel that way, anyhow...
i just don't think obama will take your guns away... no president wants to try that crap.
Well Rahm Emanuel wants anyone who is on the no fly list to lose their right to have a gun.
Obama is beginning the process of taking our guns away.
Why aren't felons denied the ability to purchase a gun? Why are felons allowed on planes?
Is there a better group to deny guns to?
that's enough time, eh?
Some stuff you can't make up!
... i bet you could add a lot to the discussion -just keep it civil, please...
I just read some of the remarks people write and it's the same crap the Bushies wrote about him.
No matter how fucked up a job and shadey he and his staff were, they ate that shit up.
People have no clue on how fucked we are because, instead of admitting they fucked up, they want to keep papering over the beast... and you have to answer to the beast.
... is give it a little time, and let's work together to petition the president.
because you can't tear down rome in a day.
Now if only the president was really in charge. He can make all the fabulous promises that he wants. In the end though, If his corporate masters don't like it, it wont get done.
Try bringing in healthcare and watch as the pharmaceutical and HMO giants scream with rage and the lobbyists appear in droves, like cockroaches.
Try cutting back on the defense budget and look out for that broadside from the forces. They need those new billion dollar fighters, there's a war on, don't you know?
Everything that involves cutting back the power and earning prospects of some mega-corporation or other, will be practically impossible.

Japan needs a new social safety net, too. Our drug war is biting us in the ass via Mexico. A right-to-die advocate finally gets her wish. Will the Senate still vote the same way on the real thing? The "Hope" guy sues back. Another Bush crony continues to saber-rattle at Iran. The AP tries to shoot down the stimulus. More corporations which are flat-lining.
As for an earlier issue, my take is that, if Obama automatically reverses Bush's policy on rendition, the case gets sent back to the lower court, and this policy might not get challenged, since the issue will then revert back to liability, rather than legality. At least that's just my opinion here.
just remember what liberdouch said about the democrap party ,[every orffice has a function even ones on dummycrats!
their are a bunch of closet trolls coming onto this site. Obama has just finished his 3rd week as president and a bunch of you are already dissing him. Fuck off trolls.
The Repugs were and still are talking about Chimpy's 'legacy' and how he was misunderstood and wonderful... after eight years of failure.
So a mere three weeks is too soon to write off Obama.
leave the trolls alone they need love too!
We need to support him and resist the inflammatory fear mongering. Constructive criticism I can deal with, but the other b.s. gets old.
... we're so used to bashing bush, we don't know what to do when our guy is in.
obama's not perfect, his word is not infallible, and he's never pretended otherwise.
in fact, he's fairly flexible and open to suggestions, unlike the chimp-in-a-diaper we were stuck with for the last 8 yrs.
what do we need to do to better petition the president?
our political enemies have done a better job organizing since the election than we have; WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
That went over his head.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
youd best look for another goober to lean on sonny nothing gets over my head unless its the way some overlook the obvious that we got took by the people who own the politicians the isralie backed corporations!
Very good post at the General's place.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
I takes 60 votes to get legislation passed in the Senate.
There are 19 Republican Senators up for re-election in 2010.
* Richard Shelby of Alabama
* Lisa Murkowski of Alaska
* John McCain of Arizona
* Mel Martinez of Florida -- will not run
* Johnny Isakson of Georgia
* Mike Crapo of Idaho
* Chuck Grassley of Iowa --
* Sam Brownback of Kansas -- will not run
* Jim Bunning of Kentucky
* David Vitter of Louisiana
* Kit Bond of Missouri -- will not run
* Judd Gregg of New Hampshire
* Richard Burr of North Carolina
* George Voinovich of Ohio -- will not run
* Tom Coburn of Oklahoma --
* Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania --
* Jim DeMint of South Carolina
* John Thune of South Dakota
* Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas -- may retire to run for Gov.
* Bob Bennett of Utah
That's 19 of them. Almost half the 41 Republicans in the Senate.
Every act of Anti-American Obstructionism by these thugs MUST be thrown back at them come election time.
When will government of the people, by the politicians, for the corporations perish from this Earth?
Not soon enough!
we can replace some of the "bluedogs" with more progressive!
It's an evolutionary process with Paul Wellstone and Dennis Kucinich being on one side and Tom DeLay and Dennis Hastert on the other. We got rid of those two and we can keep it up.
John McCain will get re-elected and it's a darn shame that we are stuck with both him and Jon Kyl as Senators.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
I hate the fact that my vote against him will essentially mean nothing....
I'd love to see a campaign to unseat John McCain develop an effective strategy in Arizona. He is old and past his prime if he ever even had one. We need to band together again and do what we did for Ned Lamont in Connecticut against the Senator from Israel Joe Liebermann. We ought to be able to knock a few of these lousy butts out of office.
one of the very few big cities that I have lived in that is not all that progressive. I don't know why the reality exists that the people in this city are basically conservative in nature. Maybe it is the heat. or the presence of an older population. LOL. But it does seem to be changing as more families move here rather than retirees...
The people who live in Flagstaff and Tucson are much more reasonable.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
We need to utilize the 50 state strategy in Arizona and build up bases in Sedona and Flagstaff etc and knock away at the advantage the repubs have. They probably have a favorable memory of Barry Goldwater, but he is long gone as are his ideals.
I can tell you, the inhabitants are more liberal percentage wise, but the conservatives are DEFINITELY more violent and frothing at the mouth in Flagstaff.
I understand the complaint against Republicans but I recall we were disgusted at the GOP for their Hannity and O'Rielly tactics, should we not just call them on there bad policies without the theatrics?
Goodnight, Frau Blücher
the facts are thier are really not two different partys in this countrys i liken the democrats and the repigs to what took place in the battle of the bulge where german english speaking fith column troops dressed like americans , thats where were at today politics has become a fith column the democratic partys full of them!
yes the republican party is stacked with anti-american fascists. yes the democratic party's stacked with spineless vichy appeasers.
but, if you are a true red-blooded american patriot, and i KNOW you are, remember:
WE

brian ross sometimes does good work...but this fell into his lap
why did no one investigate this at the time?
corporate execs of the banking industry who we just bailed out, for years have been writing off hooker visits as legit biz expenses
so spitzer and the madame get busted, these guys walk free

they all broke real laws
my head hurts
dont save the union...it needs to be dissolved
...i daresay we're going to catch every one of these scumbags.
as surely as simon wiesenthal dedicated his life to tracking down nazis, we americans are going to hunt down every crook who's wrecked our great nation.
no one in germany in 1943 believed there would come a day when hermann goering would chomp a cyanide pill, or joseph mengele would be tracked down. no one believed it; no german officer, no jew in any concentration camp.
but they were ALL wrong.
i hope you are right
i have become cynical
i do not believe even one of these guys will be brought to justice...i think, as usual, the little guy will get fucked
look at who has been locked up for torture
at nuremberg, did we go after the rank and file concentration camp guard?
So far... we have TWO things that are going in the right direction... an A.G. who sez publically that WATERBOARDING IS TORTURE... and a publically stated position that no one is interested in prosecuting lower lever rank and filers at the CIA for torture crimes.
Obama is in the middle of a dog fight heree over his stimulous package. Give him an opportunity to get this done... give him some time.
The main question is: can we keep Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld in the country long enough to get warrents served before the skip off to Paraguay?
Why Barry is reluctant to tell it like it is about our banks. We'll actually be "lucky" if our bubble is only as bad as the one in Japan.
"But the bottom line is somebody is going to have to take the loss – whether it's taxpayers or individuals and institutions that own bank shares and debt, says the author of Fixing Global Finance. "We are poorer than we thought we were." "
about time they caught on, good for them...
Lets see... "whether it's taxpayers" aka [individual(s)-Taxpayers]
or... "individuals and institutions that own bank shares" [Individuals] + [institutions]???
Question is, do/are those [individual(s) shareholders] US. taxpayers?
I believe the banks pay into the FDIC, so the less banks paying in means an increase in premiums too those that remain and so on and so fourth.
Absent a bank bail-out does the US. taxpayer win? What are the global ramifications? Give'em the bail-out and the players win... Who are the players and who wins the most?
Freeze the world(s) banks time for an audit... FAT CHANCE! :-)
We're getting closer to the truth, this should be interesting. The bankster's theory/scheme was quite rewarding while it lasted!

During the campaign, Obama always had me wishing he would be more aggressively proactive in stomping the rethugs, but then just as he was almost on the ropes, he would stomp their ass with a great sense of timing and counterpunch. Now, maybe, he's doing the same thing on the stimulus bill politicking. The rethugs have painted themselves into a corner by gambling that obstructing the obama version will pay off; obama, patiently, sucked them in to doing just that. It just may blow up in the rethugs face; ensuring their march into oblivion, led by the chief lemming, boehner.
need to read your comments.
Some stuff you can't make up!
Barack has continually impressed me. And I've often underestimated his tactics. I like this perspective Rick because you might just be right. Let's all work to help build up a progressive patriotic base to support the politicians who intend to represent us and fight against the criminals who deal in greed and corruption.
nailed it. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Scientists Plan Emergency Summit on Climate Change: by David Adam - http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/fe...
Scientists are to hold an emergency summit to warn the world's politicians they are being too timid in their response to global warming. Climate experts from across the world will gather in Copenhagen next month to agree a stark message to policy makers, which they hope will break the political deadlock on efforts to curb rising temperatures.
The meeting follows "disturbing" studies that suggest global warming could strike harder and faster than expected. It comes ahead of a year of high-level political discussions on climate change, which climax with international negotiations in Copenhagen in December, where officials will try to hammer out a successor to the Kyoto protocol.
Even without the new information there was enough to make most policy makers think that URGENT ACTION was Absolutely Essential. The new information only strengthens that and pushes it even harder."

- http://www.buzzflash.com/articles/analysis/617
The states that voted for Barack Obama clearly have been neglected when it comes to federal funds vs. taxes sent to Washington. This stimulus package can do a lot toward making those numbers a bit more balanced. And the ones who are already getting the money are standing in the way.
These POS Senators from the South/Midwest that don't vote for it, will still get federal funding for their state, so they 'get to look good' with their idiotic voters and still get the money...

'Greed is good'? Savings lost to Madoff, elderly forced back to work - http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTR...
(A GoP version of job-creation?) Heart-breaking vignettes of real people suffering due to the success of the unregulated "free market". Citizens who all their lives played by the rules, worked hard and fair, paid their taxes, and raised their families.
Many of them elderly and forced to return to work at a time in life when the system they believed in and supported, failed. A 90-year old who lost $750,000 is now grateful to a store-owner for creating a job for him as a "greeter". Another report recorded him as refusing a chair, believing he could not perform adequately in the job if he were sitting down.

Time for the U.S. to wake up from this fairytale myth and start taking our country seriously again...
I guess the top 1%, top 5% enjoy the idea of slavery....because their 'tax cuts' enable less money for productive citizens in this nation, and the 'free market' allows for slave labor to step in and make them even more money....what a country!

How much of your money is Bank of America spending on ads claiming they don't waste your money? - http://www.examiner.com/x-2071-DC-Special-Int...
In a series of full page advertisements Bank of America is touting its record as a responsible corporate citizen. In an ironically titled ad “Building strength from the ground up.” they promise to spend billions of dollars over the next ten years on philanthropy. In other words, they are taking tax money to stay afloat while saving billions in taxes through “giving back” to the community.

My favorite part from Elkhart yesterday

my favorite part of the elkheart sellathon was when the 9 yr old girl asked obama what he was going to do to stop the outsorceing of jobs by traitorus corporations , he stuttered hemmed and hawwed that when the corporations can get the health insurance they have to pay payed by the tax payers ect ect blah blah then they might decide to stay in america! good on yah barry you surely know whats best for the corporations !a free ride!
?
we are heading towards the real version of "americathon"
get ready to live in your cars people
china will be the next rock-n-roll capital of planet earth
they are increasing the size of their middle class and ours is shrinking? Oh, that's right, they have all the manufacturing jobs now, don't they? Bring back American job protectionism. Every other industrialized country does that to protect their work force, but we don't anymore, and look where that has gotten our middle class?
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught
will we realize we cannot eat money.
its only a matter of time with the jobs wpa obamas hawking before skid loads of thousand dollar bills dissapear from the pork parts of this bill, if they want a government program that helps people lets see the entire bill printed out line by line , and every dollar accounted for and shown where its spent, i heard one item in the bill was 200 million to be used for phillipino veterans of ww2 , where the hell does that create jobs in america?
If they've been defrauded of their full benefits than it's worthy, not pork. It's money they can spend, and it would go into the registers of store owners, and local sales taxes collected.
It could very well be a seperate bill, but that would be doubling the cost of it's passage, at taxpayers expense.
Since when was this site so kosher?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
perhaps what i said was a little misunderstood, yas , im not talking about american GIS im talking about phillipino troops , how does giveing them 200 million go into paying local taxes or benifiting american tax payers or creating american jobs? its the phillipine governments job to take care of thier veterans , it was thier country they defended against the japs!
my old man was there in Manila WWII and he said "if it wasn't for the Philipinos, we'd have all been dead. They were some tough sons a bitches".
He would give it to them, I'm sure. He had big time respect for them.
i didnt say they werent good troops , for that matter they were better then ours they lived there they knew the country like the back of thier hands, but the truth is thier was no options for them it was fight or flight and thier was no where else to go, like i said its thier country even though we stole it from them, as far as saveing our ass dureing the jap invasion apparently it never happened , most ameicans captured by the japs died in prison camps or on jap prisoner ships torpedoed by american subs ,
They fought under American commanders:

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
you mean they didnt get something? they got thier country back, thats what they fought for, not us ! and whos to blame them, the truth is FDR and the joint chiefs of staff built the defence of the pacific on a plan called ORANGE! where we made the phillipines a large target for the japs by putting our armys main forces in japans backyard in easy strikeing distence for the jap army the thinking was that they had to many raw materials for the japs to ignore and that in the event japan took the bait and attacked the phillipines first we could send our navy from pearl harbor and destroy them in one decisive battle, that the japs were smarter then us is apparent as they went after pearl harbor first, make no mistake the phillipinos hated our guts as i said you cant blame them but the truth is at first many phillipinos collaborated with the japs untill they saw how hipocritical and brutal they were , in any event i still ask how giveing money to the phillipine vets will create one dollar in your pocket?
By saving on the cost of having two seperate and needed bills passed as one.

yipeeeeeee!
