    Or at least there used to be, they're more scarce since Gee Dubya came into office

    Name ONE thing that George Bush personally got rid of. Congress passes laws. Blame Congress not the President.

    Things like scholarships, job training, subsidized housing, domestic violence shelters, health care programs, even better unemployment coverage. I don't know about you, but I'd like to collect social security when I'm retired, too

    I'd like to collect Social Security too. But I'm not counting on it. I'd also like to put 3% of my Social Security into the Stock market too, I'm young, money grows.

    All that money wasted in the military isn't helping anyone. It would be much better served working on domestic issues....remember how great the economy was when Clinton was president? Part of the reason is because of all the money he took out of the military and put back into social programs. (yes, part of it was the upside of the dot bomb, but that was certainly not the extent of it)

    Again, it's Congress who legistates and doles out money, not the President. Also a point of contention, the economy started to go into a recession when Clinton was still president. Either way I rarely give credit to or detract from a President when it concerns the economy. There are too many factors that affect it to expect a President or Governor to just 'fix' it.

    But we wouldn't want to make the unemployed or the poor depend on the government, now would we? That might actually give the government a purpose to exist. And think of all the non-conformist foreign bastards we'd miss out on bombing for their evil ways of rejecting american culture.

    So you are saying that the sole purpose of a government is to provide cradle to grave benefits? That'd be really great but if me you and everyone else depends on the government, how will the government get money? (hint: no one will be working so how do you levy taxes against nothing? Import taxes? That'll just create more wars.)

    Yeah sure I'd love to not have a huge Defense Budget but imagine for a minute that we had only 1 million dollars for defense. What would keep people from invading us and taking over?

  12. Re:Just what we need on Nanotech Paints For Military · · Score: 1

    And how would shifting all that money to the unemployed ( me included) the homeless or just plain poor help them? Sure they get a job/house/or money but they just become dependent on the government fixing things.

    Wow, this is really big news considering in many states the demopublicans and replubicrats have setup ballot access laws designed to prevent third parties from making ever even making it onto the ballet.

    In what state? My state has 5 parties running for Governor. And I've seen more than two parties on a number of ballots.
