jgoose71 0 #26 March 30, 2010 QuoteDevolution - deh-vo-lu-shun. n. - When knuckle-draggers who are too gullible to recognize how they're being manipulated by those who stand to profit from the status quo have children at a greater rate than those who recognize it. Sooo...... Have a lot of children do ya? You really don't recognize what is going on with the American economy. Even China knows that to develop a strong economic base, you need manufacturing jobs and a low enough price to sell the goods you make. Thats why they have been artificially driving the value of their currency down. With the price of health care added to our goods, Cap and Trade right around the corner to drive up energy costs, and the new European "Value Added Tax" getting ready to be thrown on top of everything, how is this going to stimulate the economy? Don't give me the typical liberal line of crap about how "Now that health care is passed, employers don't have to worry that extra cost." because we now know that is a line of bull. Employers who provide health insurance for their retirees will now have to dump them on to Medicare or Medicaid and fire X amount of employees to make up the new health care costs. I'm not seeing any real fixes here. Only more broken shit."There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

Andy9o8 3 #27 March 30, 2010 QuoteYou really don't recognize what is going on with the American economy. I recognize how much tax revenues would be infused back into the US Treasury if we reduced our military-industrial complex by a modest 30%, pulled our money and military out of Iraq, and stopped keeping our country in a state of near-permanent foreign war. And I also recognize how much the MESSAGE which is used to indoctrinate and instill fear of the Boogeyman in the ordinary schmoe, is controlled by the same corporate interests which profit the most from maintaining the status quo.
