sam the painter wrote: America has become virtually undefeatable in direct military conflicts. Especially in what the military calls 4-C-I. That stands for Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence. That's because we spend $711 billion a year on our military budget. 41% of what the entire world allocates to their armed forces. What devaluing your currency also does is make the debt you repay to other countries cheaper. This angers the people you owe money to. With America $16 trillion in the hole, it's easy to see why that would be an attractive option to some folks in Washington. America is on the brink of a full-scale currency war? In a worst-case scenario you've got a global Great Depression, as well as international turmoil that could escalate to military conflicts. We went from a 5 trillion dollar debt on 9-11-01 to over 15 trillion in 2012!! Thanks to obama. So that's about $4 trillion of our funny money that's flooded the global markets and weakened our dollar by as much as 27%. From 2001 to 2012 food prices is up 148% From 2001 to 2012 energy prices up 468% If cheapening your money was the way to wealth, Zimbabwe and Argentina would own the world today. 35% of all oil that is carried across the sea travels through Strait of Hormuz. An economic Pearl Harbor we never saw coming. Americans panic, the Dow plunges, our dollar is decimated. The contagion spreads to London, Tokyo, everywhere. There is a run on banks as everything starts collapsing. Trading is frozen on Wall Street. But, China is not done. Thanks to Washington, D.C., they're tapped into our Fed Wire and Treasury auction network. So their hackers unleash a cyber-warfare attack on the U.S. to disrupt our financial exchanges, bank transactions, the power grid, and our Internet backbone. Europe is a heartbeat away from economic Armageddon. That's right, my friend. That's why I want to cut out social security. We need to spend even more on the defense budget...and tax cuts for the ultra-rich. Under my plan, I will have to pay less than 1% in taxes, but I will create more jobs for people to bury poor old people. Profiting from the misery of the old who contribute nothing: helping me FLIP FLOP MY WAY TO THE TOP IN 2012!!!

Just how can anyone not paying any tax at all be paying a higher rate than those in the top 1%? Although they don't pay federal income tax they do pay state and local income taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes, etc. at the end of the day they pay as high a percentage of their income in taxes as many in the top 1% do. It's a known fact.:)

Regards, Terri <quoted text> I thought to challenge the reply but had a hard drive crash that I'm still working to fix. What a lot of these posters don't realize is that there is a significant portion of the population that don't pay state income and property taxes because they are retired and their income is exempt. I've 3 privately funded pensions that are totally tax exempt in my state. Several states waive property taxes for people below a certain taxable income threshold. It is what makes them so attractive to retirees.

Us poor folks are expected to fight wars and even give our lives if necessary, but rich bastards don't even want to give what they have plenty of. Screw 'em.

Here we go,Soviet Tactics already!!!
No doubt, we need to preserve and to protect Medicare, and to do that requires more than simply defending "Medicare as we know it." Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle clearly recognize that if we do nothing, "Medicare as we know it" will not be there for future generations.
President Obama's health care law offers one solution. It empowers a panel of 15 unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats to unilaterally decide what Medicare will and will not cover. Specifically, the 2010 law proposes to control costs by granting this new bureaucracy — called the Independent Payment Advisory Board — the authority to cut Medicare payments to doctors and other health providers. But this approach of twisting screws on physicians, of relying on price controls to wring savings from a financially broken program, cannot work. Either providers will exit the system or seniors can expect to see access to health services severely restricted. Indeed, the nonpartisan chief actuary of the Medicare program predicts that under the president's health care law, 15 percent of hospitals will go bankrupt by 2019. This number rises to 40 percent by 2050.
I recently voted for an alternative solution to this top-down, one-size-fits-all approach. This approach, contained in the House-passed Fiscal Year 2013 budget proposal, puts patients and seniors in control of their health care decisions rather than bureaucrats and Washington technocrats.

There is a difference in wanting to put food on the table and a roof over your head and I don't know let's say putting an elevator in your garage because you have too many cars.

Putting an elevator in a garage isn't greed. It's putting money into circulation, stimulati9ng the economy.
