Social Security

You have to admit, like every bussiness dubya has owned or been apart of, he has run it to the ground. Just like he did our economy!

It is one of the wonders of the recent election that 51% of voting Merkins
appeared to be happy with Bush and his voodoo economics.

Let's be clear here - the dollar value is dropping, the trade deficits (imports over exports) are growing, the budget deficit (borrowings) are all growing.
The dollar is going to hit 1.50 by June 2005 (as I predicted in October 2004, when the dollar was at 1.15 to the Euro).

I and others warned that this was the case for months.

Just because people voted for Bush out of religious issues does not mean that they suport his econnomics.

I know quite a few people who voted for him who are not exactly happy with the man. I am very gald that I voted libertarian.

What is sad is that the democrats can't come up with someone decient.

And as long as the democrats disrespect those of us with religious beliefs we will continue to be the largest special intrest group.

And I can't understand why more people are not prolabor. You may be right about us Americans being dence.

I am absoluty horable at grammar and the like but I am good at math.

And my co-workers can't understand how by working 168 hours every 28 days instead of 40 hours a week is actually working more. Just because we have more days off they actually believe that they have more time off. But if you do the math on the hours worked in the year we are getting a raw deal.

Social Security may not be as good as what Eurpoe has but it is better then nothing. Then again with out it people would prepair more.

Listen I live in a "religious" country : I practice my religion too.

But I don't vote for candidates based on religion or their moral views.
I vote for a politician on the basis of competence, ability to do the job etc.
My vote is never based on religion.
Let me tell you why - because religion has nothing whatsoever got to do with
how well a politician works as a manager, economist or polster.

The Merkins are free to chose whoever they wish as President.
But 2000-2004 should have be indication enough that Bush was incompetent.
Obviously 51% of Merkins were too stupid to realise that Bush is a clown.

In truth religion had very little to do with the vote.That headline was just that a headline.
The medias way of trying to make it known that they are all knowing and can give instant answers to any question.
The truth gets a lot more complicated with many more, and diverse reasons why most people didn't want Kerry.
It is of course human nature to want to capulsize answers or give simple quick reasoning to complex human equations.
The other mistake that people keep making is the assumption that all the so called blue states voted for Kerry and all the so called red for Bush.
Some were close calls in both camps with a lot of division in most states,not all but most.
I suppose it is more comforting to be able to sum things up in one word but not completely accurate. I truly believe that voters on both sides questioned their decision to go one way or the other. Can't prove that but it's my theory.
And besides it's "Uh-Mer-Uh-Kin" not Merkin.

I've no difficulty if people didn't like Kerry - if they thought he was this or that.
It's everyones perogative to vote whatever way they wish.

But I see absolutely no - NO - redeeming qualities in that other clown.
And that's what perplexes most non-USA people.

He is screwing your economy.
He has screwed your country's reputation internationally.
He has managed to make a balls of Iraq.
Also Mullah Omar, BinLaden & Co are still operating FOUR YEARS LATER, with impunity.

Of course, Oliver is a Christian - so that makes everything all right.

What would happen if the Pope opened a rather large office complex?

HELLO WESS, would you reply?



.The unemployment rate has gone up durring the bush adm., we have lost 3 million jobs durring the bush adm.

.Long term unemployment has more the dobled

.The number of private sector jobs have not gone down this much in 50 years [private bussines's are not empolying]

.The economic gorwth is weaker than it has been than in 50 years

.corporate scandals [enron] investors have lost 6 trillion, the stock market has gone down

This has all happened durring the bush adm. Not to mention the 'liberation' of Iraq, wonder how much dept has that got us in? I know it's in the billions. And the worst part is that we dont need to be in iraq, and bush is there for he oil [Him and his budy's are the one making the millions]. Where would bush be if he didn't convince half the american people that "theres alot of good people workin hard" and that we are "liberating" this country
And are your whining about what?

The Pope needs to stick what he does and to keep himself and his honchos out of politics.

I just thought that it might help turn it more secular, and balance up against the bible thumpers. Just think of all those Hispanic souls that need saving from the devil. Damn, can't remember his name, a cardinal who scarpered with the funds. Was it Marcinkus? About the same time as Roberto Ambrosia Calvi was peddling the Vatican funds. P2, and all that. Why not let the Pope manage the economy.

Roberto Calvi !
Fascinating stuff - banks and legal entities all over the place.
Money going hither and thither.
And something about Masonic Lodges as well.

I tried reading a book about it once but I got totally and utterly lost in the detail
of it.
Hundreds of loans, back to back share ownerships : makes Enron look like childs play.
