4 hours ago @ Big Government - Obama Budget: Tax Hike... · 0 replies · +1 points

Let's do some math:

1 trillion every year in deficit spending is 10+ trillion dollars.

But

We'll save around 4 trillion by hiking taxes on those EVIL rich folks and coporations!

Now if we could just figure out how to come up with the missing 6 trillion dollars. And never mind the other 15 trillion plus we still owe our creditors ... Yeah, I'm thinking this isn't so much a budget as it is some big numbers thrown around to accomplish that redistributionist agenda O likes so much while confusing the issue that we aren't actually doing anything to address runaway spending because, you know, 4 trillion is bigger than 1 trillion, so those idiots have got to beieve he's doing something to fix the problem. Greece, coming soon to an America near you.

When does Obama break it to the Unions that in order to be more like China and compete they must all accept new contracts that mandate 12 hour days, 6 days per week with workers living at the factories and making only $17 a day? Because, those are the conditions that the workers in Apple iPhone plants live and work under, and those are plum jobs. That factory processes around 3,000 applications per day.

Maybe this is why we have no manufacturing jobs? The American worker who demands paid holidays, 40 hour work weeks, overtime pay, and gold-plated benefits on top of his $30/hour pay or more not counting all the contract restrictions on just exactly what is or is not defined as a job he can or can't be asked to do v. the Chinese man who will work 12 hour days, 6 days a week for $17 a day ... You tell me which is the more economical and least aggravating option for any business.

It was only a matter of time before Obamavilles started cropping up. I thought it'd be because the government couldn't afford to pay unemployment anymore. Who knew it'd be because people voluntarily threw themselves out on the streets?

You know, back in the days when we all sat around the fire in the dark, the storyteller who couldn't capture his audience with a good story wasn't one that received all kinds of awards, and his tribe definitely wasn't bragging about him to all the other tribes. The fact that Hollywood has so separated itself from its audience that its audience by and large doesn't care anymore should be a sign that it's not telling its stories well, and then to circle the wagons and excuse its poor performance by claiming that everyone else just doesn't get "the art" like the rest of Hollywood does is simple denial. Hopefully, they deny themselves out of a job before they deny motion picture industry to death. Americans need entertainment during times of national trouble, the Great Depression proved that during the first motion picture boom.

If you want the story to Seabiscuit, read the book. Hillenbrand's book fills that story part in along with a lot of really interesting stuff about the history of the time.

And of course the abortion thing is an issue concerning two human beings the mother and the child. Why you should think that one human being ought to be able to arbitrarily exterminate another as simple matter of convenience is beyond me. I guess you don't believe that a human being ought to be allowed a basic right to life.

I doubt you even understand the context of a a woman submitting to her husband in the Biblical sense. It most certainly is NOT equivalent to the Islamic sense at all. Usually, those who choose to pick on this have no idea what it actually means nor do they know the full context of the statement in the Bible.

Basically, it says something like "wives submit to your husbands as they submit to God or Christ" (quote is not exact). If they are in the proper relationship with Christ, then they will not abuse their position as husband and there should be no issue with a husband having leadership in the household because they aren't going to run it like a tyrant keeping the wife barefoot and pregnant (Christ is no tyrant himself). And if they aren't in the proper relationship with Christ, the wife has no obligation to submit.

There is no left to bail anyone out. Sooner or later, it will all come crashing down. When it does, things are going to get very ugly.
