		<description>I&#039;d say that the mortgage meltdown highlights Gramm&#039;s culpability, rather than his ignorance. Slaphappy, heedless deregulation, giving a green light to sharp practice,  has resulted in just what was predicted: a fresh disaster with its architects blaming the victims and engineering a bailout for themselves from the taxpayers.</description>

		<description>The plant brain does not know how to read or else doesn&#039;t remember what it wrote: &quot;However, fireman will never be effected by NAFTA or any other Free Trade agreement, much like Nurses or Policemen, or in fact Construction.&quot;

When businesses are closing or laying off thousands of workers because of NAFTA there is a definate economic impact to government services. Construction of new facilities are not possible with out tax revenues to pay for it. Now carry the no money secenario forward and you&#039;ll end up with the lack of police and firefighters because the government can&#039;t afford to pay them. The exception would be for a one company town that completely depopulates when people move to where they hope to find work.</description>

		<description>So Saint Augustine, you speak in two directions at once. You say police departments will not hire, but then you demonstrate your paranoia as if you want less police. I was speaking of OUTSOURCING to other countries, dummy, not no bid contracts. You need a body in firefighting or law enforcement to fill a position, you can&#039;t send these positions to Taiwan for instance to fight crime in the USA. When you move a position to another country, that is called outsourcing.

There is a problem with two conflicting thoughts occupying the same space in you at the same time, so I can understand your dilemma


Everything clear now?</description>

		<description>Of course, you do realize that the prosperity of the Clinton years set up Bush to take the fall with the crumbling of the economy (which wouldn&#039;t have happened without Clinton).

Seriously, can we assume that the 8 billion this will cost the FDIC will come out of our taxes ?</description>

		<description>The brain shows its stupidity again. With the loss of businesses and jobs in any community all residents are affected. Police departments do not hire new officers and then will stop replacing those that retire or leave the force. The same goes for the fire department personell and it also affects the construction of new stations to keep pace with population growth. And when they close an existing station I&#039;ll bet it is not the closest one to a gated community.

Oh, but what the hell, its probably time to outsource these necessary jobs, to no bid contractors of course, since they are so much more efficient than government could ever be. 

With today&#039;s technology and recently passed laws the police and fire departments will know all about us before we call for help and then they won&#039;t have to bother with deadbeats that haven&#039;t paid their taxes or people that can&#039;t afford the user fees for their services.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;rocks911 Says:

Actually I’m on the job at the fire station so no drinking allowed, but nice put down attempt.

You said I didn’t “see the big picture”, but I say not only did I see it, I lived it. &lt;/em&gt;

Here&#039;s the quote BY YOU that triggered this off.

&lt;em&gt;Brain,

World Socialist Web Site? For real? Where on Earth did you dig up that pathetic web site. Christ you people will look under any rock to support your dillusions.&lt;/em&gt;

So you are a fireman. Very Noble profession. I work in IT for a Construction company, but I was directly affected by NAFTA when I worked for a major Computer firm.

However, fireman will never be effected by NAFTA or any other Free Trade agreement, much like Nurses or Policemen, or in fact Construction. The only way construction will be changed if cheap labor from other countries is imported and simultaneously labor unions are dismantled. 

In effect, you are NOT talking from experience, so I will write it off as naiveté.</description>

		<description>Brain&#039;s dog doesn&#039;t hunt any more. I&#039;ve been hearing that &quot;the Democrats were just as crooked as...&quot; since &#039;02.

Will the republiscums ever realize that there is something wrong with this administration that exceeds any BJ Clinton had.</description>

		<description>Actually I&#039;m on the job at the fire station so no drinking allowed, but nice put down attempt.

Under Bush, corporate conservatives took charge of economic policy and pushed through top-end tax cuts, Wall Street trade policies, deregulation and privatization, crony corporate staffing and subsidies, open assault on labor unions, rollback of consumer and environmental protections. The results were stagnant wages, a corporate crime wave, Gilded Age inequality, the worst trade deficits in the annals of time, billions squandered in subsidies to Big Oil and Big Pharma—and an economy now dependent on the good will of Chinese and Japanese central bankers. But Bush was only ordering from the Reagans menu. He first served up the same noxious policy cocktail—and got the same results, even including the corporate plunder culminating in the savings and loan rip-off that cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.

You said I didn&#039;t &quot;see the big picture&quot;, but I say not only did I see it, I lived it. 

Still with the Clinto business, you guys gotta get some new material, we&#039;re seven and a half years into the BushCo presidency.

Gotta run, training to do, but continue researching fringe web sites with dubious sources to attempt to disprove the obvious, this administration is scum just like Rayguns.</description>
