Hypocrisy at it's best. The govt is just ticked someone else's hand is in the cookie jar & they can't do squat about it. Maybe they should focus on our country not defaulting on our loans, or getting the FAA taken care of. :rolleyes:
If those morons in Washington could do anything other then fight, they'd be collecting their precious taxes right now!! :mad: |

Just a little backfiring. Must be a bad piston.
Obviously, it needs a new Johnson Rod or the flux capacitor. Scoop :) |
By the way, when they talk of trillions of dollars someone in the paper had a good example.
A billion seconds ago and Pete Rose was playing baseball and Jimmy Carter was President. A trillion seconds ago and Woolly Mammoths roamed the earth in mass. It is 32,000 years ago. It'd be another 30,000 years before the first basic pyramid even showed up in Egypt. Supposedly the obligations the government has promised totals around 60 or possibly 100 trillion dollars with a debt of 14.5 trillion. This year along we're making 2.2 trillion in tax revenue and spending 3.6 trillion. Not political. just showing what trillions is. |

One thing for sure, we need to get rid of baseline budgeting. A guaranteed budget increases yoy no matter what?
I think it could be managed a lot more wisely so that you don't have to fly around with your gear out at 3000' to burn fuel in December so that your fuel allowance for next year isn't cut. The system is broken if the incentives within the government is to waste money or fear losing your budget next year. Not to mention a budget cut of 5% isn't a cut of 5% but a cut of growth by 5%. if you're growing 10% next year then a 5% budget cut is still a 5% increase yoy. Do that with the big budget and that's considered an inhumane draconian cut. I think the D.C. problem could be fixed if congress' lucrative pensions were eradicated. btw, let them fight it out in congress. not all fights are bad ones and this certainly is not a bad fight. as to the faa's budget, why do i have a sneaking suspicion nobody had to be furloughed? My college buddy is a fed in Seattle. He is furloughed. He and the rest of the furloughed feds have been told to stay away from all federal facilities. |

Young? If you take 1/2 your age plus 8 and Miss 80ktsclamp is still ethically in your age range then you're young.
http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__...mma-Watson.jpg So she's 21. So 26 or younger is young. 27 and older is old. I thought it was 1/2 your age plus 7....At least that has been what I've been using. |
