Got 98% of what he was asking for, and our credit rating was downgraded. What if the sob had got 100% of what he was asking for?

It doesn't take a rocket scientist, nor any genius, by any stretch of the imagination, to figure out that it is not Obama nor poor people who have fugged up our economy the way it has been fugged up. This chart shows the economy before Wall street busted the stock market in 2008. Poor people didn't do, which are the bottom 50% of the people. The middle class didn't do it, which are above the bottom 50%, and below the top 10%. It was the top 10%. It's clear, by the chart. The top 10% have 70% of of the dad burn wealth in this country. How in Sam hell can people figure it

Thanks, TC, I didn't know where the e-mail come from, other than from a friend of mine. I didn't think he was smart enough to figure that out. -
Here's another option for teachers who are smart enough. http://youtu.be/iYJKd0rkKss

We have had 234 years to get it right, and it is broke. Social Security was established in 1935. And, we have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. We have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke. War on Poverty started in 1964. We have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. We have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. We ha

Hiding In The Background, And Learning
Eddie Bennett replied to Eddie Bennett's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I know the reason for that. I have been told, many times, how much my work is appreciated. People see who the Parana, and Barracuda, are and they had rather I stick out my Electric Eel neck, than for them having to stick out their soft neck. They do come right out, sometimes, and tell me how appreciated I am. -
Don't Sell Yourself Short. Actually Don't Sell

Richard did not worry about what was going on in the lower 48 States. Alaska was his home. Other people did not concern him, and he had no cell phone. This is what rich is really about. Being rich with self-sufficiency is not as stressful as getting rich off someone else's money, or someone else's labor. -

Richard Proennele was 87 years old when he died in 2003, but here is his cabin in 2007. It still looks good enough to live in, very comfortably. http://youtu.be/yPpCLYrr2BE -
If you really own yourself, there is no need to sell yourself to someone else, even in a small amount of your worth. If you have time watch Richard Proenneke, at his age of 31. http://youtu.be/iYJKd0rkKss

I love to see you laugh, Mrs. G, but you seem to be laughing at your own joke. I don't want to burst a good bubble, but there are at least 30 other hits on this post besides yours. I can't see where I'm only talking to myself. -

All 50% of bottom class people have really knocked a dent in this country's wealth, haven't they gog? -
e_s it right on, with that reply, dd! People who think I will not agree with common sense, are badly mistaken. I even agree with e_s more than he knows.

Not envy, coahc, pity. I pity people who will maxinize their profits so much until the resources of their own country are no longer worth their efforts. There are some rich people who , right now, could see a hundred dollar bill lying on the ground, in this country, but it would not be worth their effort to reach down and pick it up, because their income is measured to be about $150.00 per second. People need to stop cuddling that type of human beings. They are dangerous, not only to our society, but now they are loose on the World economy. If you think I envy this kind of beha -
I didn't see it either, stbarts, but that is hard to believe. How on Earth did a person look at a whale in his eyes from only a distance of one foot. It seems to me that he could only see one of the whales eyes from that distance.

Getting with that program may work for the people you speak of, LTD! I sort of agree with you, in such a program. People, like the homeless, have habitually resorted to self-destructive behaviors. Not only have their self-destructive behaviors continued to the point of becoming homeless, but these behaviors have actually gained momentum, and have become more deeply entrenched in the habitual patterns their destructive lives. People, including the homeless, are resistant to change. Homeless people have become comfortable living as they do. Getting people to change their habitual behaviors i -

I have been contacted by people outside the state of Georgia, who say I am wasting my time with my own friends and neighbors. They say they need me to join them, by way of internet, in other States, across this Country. They say I will not be able to help my neighbors, because they will never understand. Even my friends and neighbors say that's a good idea. I should take those people up on their offer. -
I don't give a tinkers damn, Gd, who caused it. I am looking for opportunities to overcome it. The leaders of this country have LONG been working for the 10% who have 70% of the wealth, in this Country.

There are no lacks of Parana, and Barracuda, in the waters of our society. If, or when, we stick our necks out, we can see very quickly that there are people who like to feast, much like Parana, and Barracuda, do. Some of us like to get along with Parana, and Barracuda, in hopes that they will not feast on our necks. But, some of us take the risk of sticking our necks out. It's necessary to wear a really good shield, because Parana, and Barracuda, teeth are very sharp. Parana, and Barracuda, don't like their pray to be educated enough to know how to hide, in their midst. They like for

Oh, yes, I certainly see where fees have been moved to Gd! With 10% of the of the people, in this country, having 70% of the wealth, it's as plain as the nose on my face where fees are moved to.

It's not the poor, uneducated people, who screws the system, TJB! It's the well educated upper class that does it. I know you've seen this chart, which right wingers don't like, but it shows the truth, nonetheless! And, it has nothing to do with Obama's buck stopping with him. This chart was created before Obama won the Presidency, and it was just before the 2008 stock market crash. Right wingers don't like this chart but they offer no evidence to contradict it.

What I actually thank Dick Durbin (D), Chris Dodd (D) and Barney Frank (D), for is capping the amount that small business owners have to pay, which is $.21, at the swiping of a debit card on their swipe machine.

I will be stopping by Kroger, tomorrow, Mrs. G! I'm coming to New Georgia tomorrow to a family get together. We are saying farewell to my grandson. He is headed for boot camp on Sunday. We will all miss him. It will be about 6 weeks before any of us will see him again.

Wells Fargo just announced that it will test a $3 monthly fee for those who use its debit card. The fee will be levied against customers in Georgia, New Mexico, Nevada and Oregon beginning October 14, 2011. As a result, we can add debit card fees to the long list of bank fees we love to hate. To understand why Wells Fargo is testing a debit card fee, we need look no further than the fine folks in Washington. U.S. News & World Report

Ignorance lies in neglecting to look at reality. The ignorant is on the left side of the chart, not because they are to dumb to know what's going on, but because they are neglecting to look at reality. Half the people have only 26% of the wealth. So middle class is about 13%.
