Why are the FACTS never examined?

If Krugman is right – then what I see daily is true, that the middle-class, who are the backbone of every democratic society, appears to be dissapearing. Is the USA going to land up like another Brazil (or God Forbid – apartheid South Africa)?

If Cavuto is right, then Krugman should start to dessiminate real data ala Patrick Moynihan.

But, irrespective, while people are name-calling and behaving like chimps at a feeding frenzy – I guess the real import of this debate will be lost – and we will have idiots on both sides of the ideological aisle elected.

And the young men and women of this country will have to clean up the mess.

what an asshole he is. THe NYT embarrasses themselves every time they publish him.

Bush crushed all that with his tax break for the rich. Now the surplus is gone, the budget is completely out of control, the middle class is stagnating and by 2008, the debt will be over 8 trillion dollars (really, more like 14 trill). The debt service is now in the 400 billion per annum range and the dollar is as weak as it has been in 20 years.

Meanwhile the government is bailing out or simply paying corporations (see airlines, big pharma, big oil, and big tobacco) and are trying to give billions to Wall Street from Social Security. Bush crony war profiteers are literally making out like bandits with no bid contracts and Kevin seems to think this is all hunky dory. After all, the rich earned those government windfalls.

Meanwhile the alternative minimum tax has just been ignored and a further burden will fall on the upper middle class while the rich have their inherited dividends taxed at the lowest level of all.

With no net gain to show for it? Sad.

Now how would you know about their genitals unless you have been down there on a few of them?

If he gives his congressional salary to charity, what money does he use to maintain his lavish lifestyle? He’s not a poor man by any stretch.

So shutting down tax loopholes, corporate bailouts, offshore accounts and other ways of cheating the system is better for the economy and morally right? Instead of giving more tax credits and incentives to businesses and poeple that help the environment, middle class families, working parents, parents of disabled children, mental health workers, nurses, policemen, etc. (the people that keep our society together) you would rather reward people who find ways around the system than those that can’t afford expensive tax lawyers to look for every loophole in the law.

I’m embarassed for you.

Up $0.25 in one month?! The the area you live must be price gouging beause here in the Dallas area the are up $0.09 from one month ago and they are up about $0.11 nationally.

I repeat, if you do not write computer programs for a living, you DO NOT understand how to SECURE a Windows System!

I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS ADVISORY BECAUSE:

1. Word Basic, Macros, Templates, and all EXECUTABLE options are turned OFF, for ALL MY USERS and they can only be turned on for documents that are entered via our LOCAL NETWORK and only if the EXECUTABLE code is deemed SAFE and the USER has a NEED to make a “data file” behave like an “executable file”.

2. ALL MY USERS run under restricted accounts and cannot install programs nor can they access FOLDERS for which they do not have explicit permissions.

3. ALL MY WEB SERVERS run under restricted accounts and cannot install programs nor can they access FOLDERS for which they do not have explicit permissions.

4. MY DATABASE SERVERS are NEVER on the same machine as MY WEB SERVERS, and all data access requests are made through private SOCKET connections between DATABASE SERVERS and WEB SERVERS.

5. And many other “secret” things I do to MAKE MY MACHINES SECURE, including detecting the “stack and buffer overflows”, that all these exploits rely on!

“Professional programmers such as myself who rely on Windows to run our businesses, know how to turn the UNSECURE out of the box Windows into a SECURE operating system, even if “amatuers” can’t!

“No, I am not leaving my kids anything, just like my parents aren’t leaving me anything. Because that is the way it should be.”

According to who? You? You’re nobody.

“Because you are part of the entitlement culture.”

There is a big difference between a family member giving you money than the government confiscating it, i.e. stealing it and giving it to others as THEY see fit.

Who?

Never heard of them.”
