The democrats passed paygo a few weeks ago so they could say that they are being fiscally responsible but this is the second bill that they have exempted from paygo since it was passed and they waited until the last minute to try and slip this one through.when Bunning spoke up to make the point about paygo and fiscal responsibility the democrats pounced on it. they could have passed it quickly but choose to hold it up for a few days to make this guy look bad in front of the people who do not realize the games the politicians play.

I own a small cnc machine shop .I design and manufacture almost anything made from metal or plastic , from prototype to production using auto cad and cnc programming .

I thought he was going to focus on jobs jobs jobs..

I purposely said "neocon" rather than republican because you true republicans totally had your party hijacked by the right wing extremists and left what traditional republicans that existed pandering to an extremist right wing base just before ww2 the far left extremist were called marxist and the far right were called fascist.. both extreme sides were socialist. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ as for blaming Reagan, here is a quote for you... in late 1982, Volcker cut interest rates and flooded the economy with money, fueling an expansion that lasted seven years. Neither Carter nor Reagan had much to do with the economic events that occurred during their terms.

There are over 400 chemical compounds in pot, one of them gets you high. They have already been able to extract THC for ingestion without smoking. You don't need to smoke it to get these "medicinal" benefits. there are about 400 chemical compounds in a slice of bread, whats your point??

Given the amount of money they are printing now days, they should be able to amortize the cost of the printing plates cheaply

Seriously, The machinist unions need to look to China for their jobs..

Once again they blame it on Bush..

I re-read your post and retract..

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ND/GNP Ratio One last word: Note how our ND/GNP ratio has gone up during the Reagan administration from 0.35 to 0.42. Many would jump on The President for this. However, in perspective, this jump is merely a "blip" when one considers what has been accomplished - namely decreased unemployment, decreased taxes, a strengthened dollar, an armed America, inflation controlled, and the American's love of America revived! In addition, many of these deficit dollars of the last few years have been used in laying the foundation for making a greater America, having greater technical and economic depth, and with greater protection for us and our allies against Russian expansionism. Our system has proved its ability to absorb and "normalize" such tremendous ND/GNP ratios in the past, that the "Reagan Blip" is inconsequential. His policy of forcing Russia to try to match us in guns AND butter will eventually bankrupt them or cause them internal problems, either of which may just finally force them to see the handwriting on the wall: that Communism can't hold a candle to Capitalism, even though Russia has more land, greater resources, more people (with more patriotism), and better quality people, than America. One need only look at the Japanese and German miracles to see how an intelligent and industrious people can excel given Capitalism - when just 40 short years ago their countries were in rubble and ruin. Were Russia to adopt the Capitalistic System, America would indeed be buried, economically, in a generation or two, especially if they could keep the trade unions from rearing their feather-bedding heads.

Billvon , What part of prohibition doesn't work do you fail to understand ? after alcohol was banned we saw crime soar , speak easies were formed and rum runners , boot leggers and the mob all made their money from selling " illegal booze" .Not to mention the enormous cost of trying to prevent these" criminals ". and further more people drank after the 18 amendment was passed.Now we make an enormous amount of money from the tax revenues . Just look at the money wasted trying to prevent all these criminals from growing, transporting and puffing on pot. i could go on but all you need to do is take a close look at history .In closing i say "prohibition doesn't work" and pot is safer then cigarettes.

Here is a small bit of history for you. When Reagan took office in 1981, the US economy was in shambles. We have difficulty remembering how bad the economy was under Carter, but it was described in terms of the "misery index," and the word "stagflation" was coined to refer to the double-whammy of economic stagnation combined with runaway inflation. The automotive industry was on the verge of collapse under the pressure from Japanese competition and an oil crisis. The American way of life itself seemed to be in serious jeapordy. It wasn't the Great Depression, but it was as close as we've come to it since. The top tax rate was 70% when Reagan took office. He got it cut in half to 35%. At the same time, he eliminated many tax shelters that the rich routinely relied on to avoid paying taxes altogether, forcing them to invest in the free market and actually pay taxes. Shortly after the tax cuts were enacted, the economy took off for an unprecedented period of peacetime growth. The misery index plummeted as unemployment fell, inflation slowed, and interest rates dropped, leading to a seven-year boom that the liberal media cynically dubbed "the decade of greed." Eight years later George Bush swept into office on Reagan's coattails and a pledge of "no new taxes." Although he tried to keep his pledge, Bush ultimately succumbed to unrelenting pressure by the Democratically controlled Congress to increase taxes. Not surprisingly, the economy went into a mild recession, though nothing like the recession of a decade earlier. Unemployment was well below what it had been under Carter, and inflation was completely under control. Nevertheless, the liberal media shamelessly dubbed it the "worst economic period of the last fifty years."

A growing number of Boomers are just now coming out of the closet (so to speak) is all this really says , and not starting back up..The government should have never outlawed it in the first place.

I am just waiting for Hugo Chavez to tell everyone that America hit them with an earthquake weapon. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,583588,00.html

I only wish i was there to help them celebrate..

Lucky's Interests: Everything but skydiving; I hate skydiving. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Now i see why Matt called you a troll. This is the worst thread that I have seen..

He blamed it on his aides ? I am surprised that he did not blame this on Bush..

they have been saying it for years... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRdLpem-AAs

Here is a Democrat who turned republican who really says it... hear the whole thing.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRdLpem-AAs

The meeting is half way over (lunch) and the commentators on CNN say the republicans truly look like they came prepared.. but to answer your question , i would say no ..especially after Nancy Pelosi said "The American people can't wait for a new bill" even though this bill doesn't help anyone until 2014 ..

the move seems to be in direct response to the controversy over Obama's citizenship and the right-wing-conspiracy-theorist "birther" movement. "Birthers" claim that Obama was born in Kenya, and therefore is not eligible to be president, despite several investigations into the legitimacy of his Hawaiian birth certificate. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The birther movement was started by a democrat, sorry to rain on your parade..

No shit? Really? If a liberal wants to say something, he'll use biting sarcasm. If a conservative wants to say something, he'll copy and paste it off the interwebs. you mad?? there is no need to rage, just delete it..
