and then act surprised in ten years when the Chinese bailiffs turn up to load everything of value into ships as debt repayment after America goes bankrupt.
The debt will be inflated away. That's the whole point. Today's spending is being paid for by inflating away people's savings and buying power. They can't get away with raising taxes, but what they are doing is worse.
The national debt is meaningless, but a paycheck doesn't seem go as far as it used to, huh?
I'd want a jury that didn't hate being there. The experience sounds unpleasant enough already that I would never sit on a jury. Judges already think they're royalty. Who the F do they think they are to tell me what I can or can't do outside their courtroom?
When I was a Teen, and I shared my Password as a form of intimacy I would have gotten a response at best "Your such a Nerd!" (Back then a Nerd wasn't good)
Yeah. Offering Sysop access to my dialup BBS never got me laid.
Citing Wikileaks as free speech is clouding the issue. A lot of people don't consider what they're doing to be "Freedom of Speech". I'm just saying, the article poster should have put away his agenda long enough to cite an example that everybody could identify with.
If that's the best example, then maybe these new laws aren't that bad after all.
Please find another example. A lot of people don't agree with or support Wikileaks. I know Slashdot has an agenda, but please let it go for once if this issue is important enough.
I distinctly remember the news reports from that time. UN inspectors were being denied access to numerous facilities, or at least delayed long enough for Hussein to hide anything. If he didn't have any WMD's, he sure as hell wanted people to think he did.
Please, people, stop calling it things like "Extending a Tax Cut". Taxes either go UP or they go DOWN. What was going to happen was an automatic TAX INCREASE. Any other label is just sugar coating.
A new car will depreciate every couple of months more than the entire purchase price of my 100k mile used car. Nothing can possibly go wrong that will make it worth buying a new car instead. And it still looks and drives like new.
Also, sales tax, property tax, registration, and insurance are all a fraction of what it would cost for a new car.
I do know people who take their car to the dealer for routine repairs and maintenance. That does cost a fortune, but it's all part of the scam. When they come out and tell you that the leaky power steering pump is going to cost $3500 to fix, they want you to trade it in instead.
You could afford that much, just finance it for 5+ years. That's $921/month for 5 years. Stop saving for retirement. Put home repairs on the credit card. Give up health insurance. Etc.
People do this.
I just bought a $45,000 Hybrid SUV for $7,500 cash. All I had to do was let someone else drive it for five years. I hope the new car scent was worth the $37,500.
So how would you actually get the US Gov't financially stable in a politically doable way? Because there isn't any good answer, if you have to deal with the reality of pushing anything through Congress.
Well, that's easy! Inflate away all the debt. That's what they're doing. While it's not politically agreeable to generate revenue by taxing people's income, nobody seems to notice when they're inflating away everybody's savings.
Can you cite more than two examples in the entire country of crumbling infrastructure costing lives? The I880 Cypress Viaduct was built in the 1930's and has been gone for 22 years.
Women's use of cosmetics bordens with pure fraud. They're faking themselves better looks than they really have to fraud men and thus try to gain money, power or anything else for their own advantage. It just isn't defined as fraud because the scheme has been going on for so long, but in reality it's the same. They're advertising something which they don't have and take advantage of men.
If the penalties were heavy enough, perhaps they'd reduce ad volumes to substantially lower than the program content, just in case they were fed something loud by the network. That would be fine by me!
I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio (Sirius Patriot - although they've nearly ruined it by signing on Glen Beck who I can't stand). There's a lot of talk there about the difference between little-r republicanism and the big-R Republican Party. Just the fact that whenever the big-R Republicans are in charge, the federal government gets BIGGER makes it very clear that they do not represent the fiscally conservative ideals of republicanism. They represent something entirely different and have hijacked the conservative voter base because, well, who else are we going to vote for?
Anyways, I did vote for McCain, but that was under duress. If I was a democrat, I'd be pretty disappointed with the Democratic party as well.

Great! That leaves a 1 and 2/3 space next to it so I can park my HUMMER.
Seriously, though, it sucks that all spaces cost the same where I work, whether it's for a motorcycle or a SUV.
It's never been a problem. Ditto for lots of other people and companies. What's the issue?

You really are not helping the cause.

Even then, I see people that are Computer Science majors about to graduate that still barely grasp the concept of object oriented design
Object Oriented Design isn't part of a CS program. Unfortunately.
I'm probably not going to land a job as a porn star any time soon.
As if I needed another.
What I remember most about the state are the tolls on I80. They must like their taxes!
Nearly Every? Can you cite some examples?
The last thing we need is more fertile males running around.
The kind of people who would be able to afford this type of treatment (or any fertility treatment) tend to not have very many children anyways.
Doubly so since their offspring could only ever be female.

The reason why we now have a deficit of 1T/year is not because _spending_ increased it is because tax revenue _decreased_
It's pretty clear the problem is spending increase AND revenue decrease. Which one you feel is the bigger cause depends on your political ideals.

Don't worry, that all stops once you're married.
