Ok, so you make a claim, but don't even give your reasoning?

I'm pretty sure morganist isn't BLSH

I could give a sh*t less about GS and their bonuses, but it goes to show that there is a breaking point on taxes at which they become counter productive to revenues. NYC proved this as well.

Senate Health Care reform bill? Thanks in advance

One of Obama's biggest problems is that he marketed himself as being a different kind of politician, who would end corruption, usher in an era of transperancy and reach across the isle............. He has done almost the exact opposite of these things.

Good point.

Firstly, how do we know it's harmful? The earth has been significantly warmer during periods of human existance and it didn't seem to be a problem. Secondly, what has been proposed so far, ie taxing the US significantly, will do nothing to mitigate the temperature warming. Thirdly, most of...

Surely you're joking........... Maybe in 50 years, China will possess a superior military, but even then the logistics of it aren't in their favor. Hopefully by then, their standard of living will be high enough, that war with the US wouldn't be attractive to anyone in that country.

Then everyone else enters the service industry. That's what has happened here in the US. It has become so easy to meet the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter and tranportation, that now health care and non-essential services is where much of our time, money and man-power is spent.

This guy brings up some good points, but the problem is there is no good answer for solving these issues. The fact is, if you want to get more and more medical innovation along with longer life spans, it will continue to cost more. If you want to insure more people, someone is going to...

It will be very interesting to see who the CBO scores this one.

For some reason it won't let me edit it to substitute "Medicare" for "SS" but the point stands....

Ok fair enough. If it's just Medicare, then that makes it marginally better. BUT, Medicare is a much bigger problem and way greater cost than SS.

With a few minor changes, such as RAISING the minimum age by a few years, and raising the payroll tax limit slightly, SS could have been viable for many more decades. That is what people that are serious about keeping SS around have been talking about for years. Now we're lowing the...

ads can be bothersome, but without them, the internet would either be a fraction of what it is today. Also, most sites would have to be paid sites, which would suck.

Blacks continually electing/supporting the Democrats is the definition of insanity. Can these people not see that they are NOT better off, with all of the social safety nets, and the victim status that the Dems have handed them? They continue to support the Dems, all the while they are...

Do you really believe it works like that? Why not volunteer for the government to take $50,000 of your money, so that you get $100,000 back in your pocket then? Or better yet, they should take $100,000 from every man, woman and child, and sprinkle it around the economy in a magical way that...

Who the f*ck do they have making these projections? How do you revise it by 3.5%?
