Not related to the original point, but where is your president?

DOD can always NOT spend the appropriated money. Obama refuses to obey many of the laws Congress passes. Why should this case be different?

I will go off topic for a moment.
I am sorry about your situation.
Seriously.
Next time please for HIM and YOU take care of your guy!
Dr. Oz came on Oprah and told her that for optimal health the men needed to be taken care of 4 times a week or 200 times a year. The ladies do not need that - they need a good emotional one every few months for health so yes it is entirely unequal.
Oprah said, "That is too much work" and her audience (mostly fat white women) cheered their approval.
Dr. Oz was stunned and asked, "But don't you love him and want him to be healthy?" Oprah still said it was too much work.
Now that you have your own fat lips of experience, will you take this advice and TAKE CARE of YOUR GUY NEXT TIME?
Don't listen to all the biddies out there. They don't have a clue.
If you don't believe me or Dr. Oz ask some guys you do respect.
By the way this same advice if good for any of the married ladies out there.
Per the old saying I don't recommend the cow giving the milk out for free as the guys may not buy the cow then. But once the guy buys the cow and pays for the pasture, if the cow stops giving milk the guy is gonna get cranked and rightfully so.
Yes you are not alone out there as I have seen so many women out there just like you. Hopefully you will learn from this and not skimp out on your guy next time. Denying your guy is a kind of cheating by omission instead of by action.
Show your guy you really care for him.
Will you promise to meet the Dr. Oz minimum next time?
It really will help make his life and thus yours as good as it can be.
Wrong forum. Nothing here to see. It's about politics and the election, not your pathetic deflation. Not our problem, and we can't help you with it. Go knock on the bedroom door and see if she'll let you in. If not, quit whining and go for a ride. I'm sure there's somebody out there for you. It's only money.

You think it couldn't be worse? I absolutely disagree with you. It would be worse for the middle class and the low income working American under Romney.
and WHO sold these folks on getting a college ed with debt attached?
the Government, that's who.
who knew that the job market for ALL future American workers was drying up?
the Government, that's who. why?
it is the Government's own policies that have made shipping jobs overseas... it's called GLOBALIZATION. or, may be u remember a little thing called 'the New World Order'?
maybe u also remember a certain third party candidate talking against NAFTA and mentioning a 'sucking sound'?
will Romney, the GOP establishment's choice, change the path our Nation is on (becoming one of the 'herd' nations in the New World Economy)? probably not willingly. BUT, with a little persuading from real, concerned AMERICAN representatives in the next few Congresses, who knows?
what we do know is that Obama won't bend to the will of the American voter. how? because he hasn't modified his policies SINCE Nov of 2010. neither has his co-hort, Reid. not so some worried Dem'c senators. u know, the few that are starting to side with the Reps?
nothing like fear of losing one's cushy govt job to get one to see the other guy's POV, is there? UNLESS one is a real, die-hard ideologue... like Obama.
u wish to see the fracturing of the Union? keep playing Rs and Ds while the Ps and Ss 'transform' our Republic using the age-old ploy of divide and conquer...
Come On NOV.

You still don't get it. IF he is ineligible, then the vote does NOT nullify that. What part of due process do you not get?
If we find out he was ineligible, then the majority vote is meaningless as he got that by fraud. If the majority vote does not care once they find they have been defrauded, then we have just mob rule.
The rule of the law rather than the mob is what makes America different from most other "democratic" countries. Once you abandon that, then you turn America into Argentina. Instead of that you personally could just move to Argentina since mob rule is okay with you.
You could install a wishing well in the back yard, go get yourself a roll of pennies and sing "Three Coins in a Fountain". Then, spin around three times and start tossing. You never know. A genie could appear and grant you at least one of them. In the meantime, you'd be busy and not here annoying us with your delusions of grandeur.

How can it be that the majority vote does not care? Are you drinking again? Of COURSE the majority cares that their vote is honored. Otherwise, people start protesting and burning stuff and violence happens. I know. I've seen lots of video footage from the Middle East where people feel cheated of their votes. Well, you HAD your vote. Obama won. Now, you can vote the other way this time. Obama will still win, and you will still be bitter AND stupid. See? Some things never change. You're as predictable as flies in summer - and just as unwelcome.

<quoted text>
In 1993 over Clinton’s tax increases on the wealthy, America saw “the longest peace time expansion of the economy in history” with 23 million jobs created. The middle class saw its position made more secure – middle class incomes actually went up and those poor, poor millionaires and billionaires did pretty darn well too! Revenue growth accelerated an astounding 59%, increasing on average $143 billion a year. Combined with continued restraint on government spending, that produced a $198 billion budget surplus in 2000.
You are one big idiot. Clinton raising taxes DID NOT, I repeat, DID NOT make the economy expand. NO TAX INCREASE HAS EVER DONE THAT - EVER!!! He raised taxes because the economy was good enough to support increased taxes. Anybody with an IQ above room temp would know that, which rules you out. With an economy going like gang busters with the dot com craze and all, it's natural for more revenue to be made even if taxes were LOWERED! I know that doesn't add up to liberals since all they want to do when they run out of other peoples' money, is to raise taxes so they can spend even more. Why is it that, during an election year, the liberals want to raise taxes on "the rich", yet, just a year ago, the argument was raising taxes with an economy on the brink of going back into recession was not the thing to do. Now, it's the same old mantra and the economy is no better than it was a year ago. Your post makes absolutely no sense and shows just how ignorant you Bay Area, oxygen deprived liberals are.

I try to give you a little help and you spurn that.

You still plan on screwing up your next? relationship.

Keep listening to the biddies.

You are the one with the fat lips of experience and still you refuse to learn.

I guess your guy was right to leave. There really is nothing for him at your place.

You don't learn from history so you are bound to repeat it.

Hey I tried.

GE? Hey! Isn't Jeff Immelt the head of obama's jobs council(which he hasn't met with in a YEAR)? Didn't GE close up their X-ray division and send jobs to China? Never heard any liberals complaining about outsourcing then. Probably didn't have time since they were so busy criticizing Romney about the same thing.

What part of IF (and yes it is an IF and not a definite) he was not eligible then the election result is invalid do you not understand?

The Obama voters care that their vote is honored but don't care if it was a legitimate vote. It sounds like the Obama voters are a MOB. And you are one of them.

Wrong focus, wiggins. The point is elementary. Tax increases did NOT adversely affect economic growth contrary to the then prevailing wisdom. Obviously, they were wrong. I'd like to try that again and see if they're still wrong! It's a lot better deal than going back to George Bush's policies.

Are you nuts? Do you think we just "x" out four years of our lives and experience - like it never happened? This is not Oz. Two doors down, turn left and watch your step. It's a mighty steep drop.

You'd better hope your mother never sees your posts. You are definitely gonna' get an azz whuppin' if she does.

<quoted text>There's a bit of conflict in what you're saying here, Jeff, and it's what I've been pointing out repeatedly (I know. You weren't here reading). Everytime you adopt the propaganda that Obama is bad for business, you ignore the other part of the formula that you just brought up - record profits for corporations. Obviously, Obama has NOT been bad for business.
My take is that when Obama signed on for the job, he relied on the business leaders to much for advice. The LAST thing he wanted to do was anything that might harm business in anyway. Clearly, time has demonstrated that business and the wealthiest have weathered the storm and come out on the other side made whole or better.
NOW, that brings us to where we are - a fairly jobless recovery - the worst we've seen since the Great Depression. Obama is also undoubtedly becoming more confident in his own ideas. This time, he's making it clear that his focus is on those segments in America who haven't recovered yet - the middle class.
Like petulent children, the rich and powerful refuse to budge an inch, give back a penny or come under any constraints that might stop them from continuing on the path they've been on. That is why they support Romney. He's quite willing to continue along making them happier and patting the rest of us on the head.
You can see it anyway you like, but I disagree .
Ever think about why some businesses have made record profits even with obama in office? When you have a headcount reduction, you also have a huge reduction in overhead costs. Labor is THE number one overhead to any business. Companies have found ways of becoming more efficient doing the same or more with less people. Couple that with the uncertainty of all the new regulations obama's policies are putting on the business world, it's no wonder that businesses aren't hiring. It doesn't take a math genius to figure out those numbers. I'll bet even you could do the math if you take your gloves off so you can count on your fingers.

There you have it! You see, I agree with you about GE's favored tax status. I'd like it to end - like tomorrow morning first thing. I'd like lobbyists meetings to be transcripted and released publicly. It doesn't matter whether you're a Republican or Democrat, you're an American who is being shafted for the gain of PREDATORY capitalism. We have every reason to be outraged, and changing to the party of business is NOT the solution to our problems. It's an invitation to an exacerbation of them.

WTF is your point that I haven't been making repeatedly aside from "uncertainty of ALL the new regulations?? They might make it more feasible to produce onshore? Yes, of course they might do exactly that. They might mean you don't get a free pass on the taxes you'd owe on that money you've parked offshore? Yes, could be. One thing IS certain. They can't continue the formula now in place without this place and our people rapidly declining in living standard, can they? Something has to give, and I think those who have had it so good should cheerfully cough up a little bit of what they've gotten through buying tax credits and favorable legislation. You think they shouldn't. We just disagree.

Of course, when economic growth is 4-5% when Clinton was in office, tax hikes will affect it, it always will, but there was no major effect. Reality of today: Economic growth is 1.5% this year, and 1.8% last year. The debt is at an all time record with no slowing down. Unemployment is holding steady at 8+%. Do you really think in your right mind, now would be a good time to raise taxes on ANYONE? If you have that kind of economic sense in your personal life, it's a wonder you are still living with a roof over your head. You obviously don't have any kind of idea what makes a national economy work. THE one thing that DOESN'T work is gov't intervention on the level it has been for the last few years. But, you will blindly stumble all over your hero obama and his "looking out for the middle class" liberal lie.

BTW, obama did NOT surround himself with business people. He has surrounded himself with people that are lifetime public servants academiacs (my term)and radicals(i.e. Van Jones) that haven't run so much as a lemonade stand. How would you expect a group like that to give a sitting president advice on how to get the economy growing again?

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Pisces

You're raring to go today, especially on domestic projects. You'll achieve a tremendous amount if you're allowed to proceed at your own pace and in your own time, but you'll soon get ratty if you suspect someone is breathing down your neck or trying to tell you what to do. You'll also feel irritated with people you know really well, so be prepared for a few fireworks.
