WUW, explain to us why California is giving out IOUs and whining about not being able to pay teachers & firefighters while at the same time spending about $7 million of taxpayer money for a monkeyless zoo exhibit??? Bottom line is, Obamas plan isn't working. But, tell us more about why we should listen to somone from California explaining how North Dakota (the only debt free state), how we're doing everything wrong.  Reply...

Just booting out the illegal aliens would save us 200- 300 billion a year and free up 10 million jobs.
Eliminate the EPA, Dept. of Education, FEMA and the Dept of Transportation.
THE GOVERNMENT WILL HAVE TO BORROW 50 CENTS FOR EVERY DOLLAR IT SPENDS NEXT YEAR.
How do you feel about Ron Paul and some of the ideas he was tossing around?

I agree with you JEJ in the post before the one about Rush. I am one of people of whom you speak. Not left, not right, but discouraged about the direction of the counrty. Sad about the lies we are told on a daily basis. I didn't like the direction Bush took us (but I liked it better then the direction we are going now) and I hate the spending spree we are on now. I want our country and its people to prosper. It is very sad to watch the freedoms we have eroding. It is a nightmare to see the complacency of many. I do see some coming to life but not enough at this point to change course. However, elections are still a way away. That said, who do you vote for? No matter who is there it seems to be more of the same bs. No wonder the people of America are throwing up their hands and tuning out of the political retoric they hear. who can blame them. When political junkies like me get fed up, it is over the top with the lies an double talk. Reply...

Hey everyone,
YE-HA, off of work today through Monday, I don't return until Tuesady!!! It is dry outside so far, then again it is only 830am. Give it time...actually it looks like the sun is trying its best to come out!!! I can only hope!
Theresa, the fourth we are camping at the motocross track...my stepson is racing his 2nd race ever...I'll be watching for the 1st time. My nephew is racing is 2nd or 3rd season...I have only watched a couple of times. With the girl in allstars, I haven't had any down time...so this weekend is a really good getaway for me. No ball!!!! Last night we had horrible rain storms...the coaches rented an indoor field...the girls had a lil scrimmage...loads of fun. My daughter is learning signals, very funny to watch. She is quite smart and quick...coach showed her once and she knows them. She has always been that way. Photographic memory, that one!!! Very proud mom, I am!!!!
Biddeford is ok not the ideal small town...we are close to the river and ocean...the city itself has always been a lil bit dumpy....Saco is much nicer. See I am from Saco originally and there has been a battle between Saco and Biddeford forever...high school football rivals. Battle of the Bridge they call it!!! I have a TA sweatshirt, my high school and my hubby has a tigers sweatshirt, his Biddeford team...we will go out on the motorcycle together wearing our rival sweatshirts...people will actually comment, when we stop for a butt or at a store...once in line at the store...a couple oldtimers and their wives got the biggest kick out of the fact that we were married and wearing the sweatshirts...fun times!!! So anyway I say that Saco is nicer and Rol, my hubby, originally from NYC, but has been in Biddeford since his younger years will tell you Biddeford is better. Traffic has tripled in the past decade easily!!!
Rol was stationed at OFFUTT, Nebraska, he worked for electronic security command. He was in the Air Force for 6 years. 2 regular and 4 in the guard. He wishes now that he stayed. Planes and flying have always been a passion of his since he was young. For work he builds jet engines for the military and commercial planes.... He has his pilots license for small planes. I have flown twice with him, loads of fun....love those small prop planes. He owned one while married the 1st time around but while divorcing he sold it...bought the harley...that pizzed of the x, she hated flying and wanted him to buy a bike...lol!!! Now I ride with him and forget that I am half her size...ouch that was mean....oops, sorry. hahahah!!!
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday weekend, maybe I'll catch ya tomorrow morning before leaving.... Reply...

Good Morning Care, KO, Pets, Brats and Sneaky Cat and everyone else, how are you today?
Sneaky this forum was started with personal stories and thoughts. Feel free to join in. I misunderstood what brats, said and I apologized for it. Anyone can read this forum, it would be nice to hear more personal stories. It is a safe room that we can talk about our religion or lack of it without being slammed. I just get tired of people telling me to move back to New York. It has happened so many times in different forums. I am open minded and have different views on things, sometimes people hate me for it. My husband and my self made over a hundred thousand dollars last year and every penny was spent in North Dakota. My husband and I don’t even buy anything made in china and that is allot of stuff. Look at your toothpaste, it is most likely made in china, ours is not. We buy everything Dakota made. We poured twenty seven thousand dollars into North Dakota schools, and some of that were parent loans for school. If I could move back the east coast I would.
Care in my opinion lives in my perfect idea of a town, Biddelford Maine. It is raining like crazy there and her daughters are in softball. I just like to hear how they are doing.
http://pressherald.mainetoday.com/story.php?id=265933&ac=PHnws
It is the town I always wanted to live in, every Steven King book is centered in a little town in Maine. She is close to ocean. Visiting Biddelford is on my bucket list. I know I will go because I drive up the coast to Massachusetts at Halloween is a tradition. We go to Salem every year to celebrate the day with some real freaks. We already have reservations at a hotel for the next three years, because it gets that busy. It is the Mardi Gras of the East coast.
I can’t wait to hear about KO’s trip to Montana, and more want about Pets animals, no one in this room will say she is a bad person. I think she is great.
This is good mood room.
I would like to hear if Sick-O is reading this because I have a 2 page answer to why women, need sex.
Care, how is it going besides rain and rain? What are you doing for the forth? We don’t really go anywhere my son has a job at the local pool as a lifeguard. What is anyone doing for the forth. Let’s hear about it. I love you all. Talk to you later Theresa

DFW. You didn't save the country $426 Billion. You just pushed the burden of spending on to the states. Those are still public services (again: schools, police, troopers, parks,roads, bridges etc.) that still need to be paid for. So, like Obama, you really aren't cutting taxes.....you're just moving them around.
All you did was to get it off of the Federal Government's books.
And now you are going to offer a small tax cut.
(I'm letting you get away with) running ten to fifteen different US federal departments for $50 Billion. THE REST IS MILITARY SPENDING.
So if you want to have a balanced budget, you cannot cut anymore into the skeletal amount shared by those 10-15 departments. If you want to offer a tax cut, you will need to cut into defense spending and the war on terror budgets (in this time of war(s)).
Again.....this is just 1st or 2nd grade math.
- - -
If you don't cut military spending AND you want a balanced budget, you have no option in cutting taxes. Again....that is what the math says.
- - -
Mind you.........the original point of this discussion is to find a way for the USA to climb out of the worst economic crises in 70 years. And to find justification for why YOUR plan is going to do a better job of saving jobs than the president's plan.
- - -
Just for fun......let us assume you did eliminate $500 Billion in spending. Congratulations.....you just contracted our failing economy by an additional 3.5% of GDP!!!!
How many people did you lay off?
