U.S. Government posts biggest monthly deficit every of $223B- Washington Times Deficit for Fiscal 2007 Slides - Real Time Economics - WSJ Like it or not (military pensions included I guess I didn't see that) 1/3rd of the income in this country comes from taxes. That's kind of scary considering we haven't hit the baby boomer retirement period and unless wages shoot up somehow in the private sector, how in the heck is that going to be paid yoy? I love how the article says 35% of income comes from [government taxes] but hey were so much better off than the UK, they're at 44%. They're at 44% and coming unglued and we're only 9% behind them and jumped 14% in the last decade. Talk about bribing the public with its own money. Maybe Delta pilots will get a big raise to fund all of this stuff? Stop laughing. It was a dream many of us had until we were told to temper our expectations and be prepared to give up work rules for a small increase in the pay tables. Answer at your own risk. This will probably all be deleted. btw, I wish 1 national poll would have the guts to ask the under 40 crowd, do you mind paying social security taxes until you retire even though you'll never get any social security? They only ask, do you want to give this up? How about, do you mind paying and not getting anything? Oh and by the way, 1000+ waivers for the health care law. A) why is a waiver needed and b) do we get a waiver? We are AFL-CIO are we not? Funny, and timely, you should mention living in a glass house. Sebelius just admitted to double counting the cuts that were supposed to come from the health care law. So in the end, it won't save $160ish billion in health care costs that was promised but probably start in a hole of $340B and that's before waivers and whatever else occurs. Here, watch the video and then lets regroup and talk about not throwing stones again... --- Now I can go on. Shouldn't on this forum. Don't think it abides by the TOS. But I can go. I can go on politics and defending Cam Newton and Nick Fairley. I have everything bookmarked. Just mention expulsion at Florida or a Thayer Evans article....... :) . Saw a review on the Sebelius testimony. Described it as a classic Washington gaff. A Gaff is when a politician screws up and tells the truth. |

In my defense, my high school graduated 32% of the kids that started. Showing up was a C, everyday was a B. I was a solid B student. :D Look, commas and apostrophes are of the devil. Like regional jets, which, again, is are doing. From now on, I will not use a comma or an apostrophe. Start now so here from my high school history class it is ftb's or ftbs' or ftbs review of world history and maybe your going to learn something Adam and Eve were created from an apple tree. Jacob, son of Isaac, stole his brother's birthmark. One of Jacob's sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites. The inhabitants of Egypt were called mummies. They traveled by Camelot. Moses led the Hebrew slaves to the Red Sea, where they made unleavened bread, which is bread made without any ingredients. David was a Hebrew king who fought the Philatelists. Solomon, one of David's sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines. The Greeks invented three kinds of columns -- Corinthian, Doric and Ironic. The mother of Achilles dipped him in the River Styx until he became intolerable. In the Olympic games, Greeks ran races, jumped, hurled the biscuits, and threw the java. The reward to the victor was a coral wreath. Socrates was a famous Greek teacher who died from an overdose of wedlock. Eventually, the Ramones conquered the Greeks. Nero was a cruel tyrant who tortured his poor subjects by playing the fiddle to them. In the Middle Ages, King Harlod mustarded his troops before the Battle of Hastings. Joan of Arc was canonized by George Bernard Shaw. The Magna Carta provided that no free man should be hanged twice for the same offense. William Tell shot an arrow through an apple while standing on his son's head. In the Renaissance, Martin Luther was nailed to the church door at Wittenberg for selling papal indulgences. He died a horrible death, being excommunicated by a bull. The painter Donatello's interest in the female nude made him the father of the Renaissance. Gutenberg invented the Bible. Sir Walter Raleigh invented cigarettes, and Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100-foot clipper. Queen Elizabeth's navy defeated the Spanish Armadillo. William Shakespeare wrote about Romeo and Juliet, a romantic couplet. Miguel Cervantes wrote ``Donkey Hote.'' John Milton wrote ``Paradise Lost.'' Then, his wife died, and he wrote ``Paradise Regained.'' Christopher Columbus was a great navigator who discovered America while cursing about the Atlantic. His ships were the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Fe. One of the causes of the Revolutionary War was that the English put tacks in their tea. Benjamin Franklin invented electricity by rubbing cats backward. Franklin died in 1790, and is still dead. Gravity was invented by Isaac Walton. It is chiefly noticeable in autumn, when the apples are falling off the trees. Bach and Handel were famous composers. Handel was half-German, half-Italian and half-English. He was very large. Bach died from 1750 to the present. Beethoven was so deaf that he wrote loud music. Samuel Morse invented a code for telepathy. Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for rabbis. Madman Curie discovered radium. And Karl Marx became one of the Marx Brothers. |
