  1. @billabong24041 - Agree 100% with your last post.

  2. I know. All presidents have and to be honest I'm not a fan of any president after LBJ. But I want him to at least do something instead of just continuing Bush policies and keep building up debt while not creating jobs.

  3. 1) I'm concerned about what the number say, not what individuals say. The general consensus and the general mathematical conclusion is that it worked. I even posted some GDP and unemployment rates for you to chew on. 2) I didn't "redirect" the conversation to healthcare, I simply brought it up because I mentioned it earlier. 3) Prove that these other health issues are the main reasons why we are behind other industrialized nations in health care.

  4. The Guilded Age was just another state-enforced corporate mercantile economy. Not a "free market". Though I'm no fan of the Fed either.

  5. Let's hope so. Alan Grayson already put it out there as a proposed bill to be voted on.

  8. Republicans aren't very hard to figure out. They want Obama to fail for a very simple reason: Because if Obama's polices work it will prove their Neoconservative ideology wrong. That's it. They are such ideologues they'd rather see the country crash and burn just "prove" that liberalism is "wrong" than see it prosper under a system that contradicts theirs.

  9. Even before the existence of the military-industrial complex there has always been an industry of war profiteering. Blackwater would exist without government support (though maybe not as easily). There have always been mercenary armies.

  10. I'm not saying he's wrong or right, just explaining what he meant. By "America" I think he was more referring to the American government. Sometimes people don't always make a distinction in common speech. I think America should be praised when it's right and condemned when it's wrong just like any other nation or government.
