Goods & services in terms of man-hours worked to produce

All you can do is change how the pie is divided or find
a way to get more people working to make more pie
(or both) or alter what's in the pie ... more bankers,
brokers & lawyers or more burgers from McDs?
The repubs kept shifting their welfare to the top
.1 % .... How did that work out?

Right now they seem to be on strike ... strong union .....

well, considering the length of prosperity this country has experienced
since jimmi carter went home,

Like with Clinton & the dems?

i think decreasing taxes has been proved out
over spending. Spending was proven a failure by fdr and his totally failed
new deal.

Perhaps you should learn a little about it first:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Deal
And I remind you that the great depression came first ...
caused in large part by repub practices, just as today.

And times are bad I know...but only if you lost your job or your an idiot
with an adjustable mortgage, or both.
If you have a job, and you live within your means folks are doing just
fine. Things don't always have to be like the friggen news keeps telling us
it is.
Car industry in trouble...well damn! Of course it is!
IBM had to downsize, soon microsoft will, then someday google will, etc...
But not car manufacturers, when times change they don't, instead they try
to make us change. Who the hell wants companies around forever? They have to
morph, change, dissolve.

Fine. Walk to work.

It's like trees, if theres no fires there's no room
for young trees to grow.

Banking industry...awe frig, surprise everyone...who seen that coming?
I wish the whole damn industry would collapse. People exchanging money for
the mere sake of having middlemen involved...for a fee of course.
(but it's safer...ya sure it is. My sister got hit with identity theft hard
core...real safe...everyones 401k is fuxored and YOU CANT TAKE IT OUT!! You
can't stop it!!!!! Oh yah, your money is safe with the banks controlling it)

Just found out money market accounts are paying 0.01% APR ...
And I do have the decimal point right.

Democrats = welfare state.
Republicans = liers who claim to be conservative.
American voters = cattle.

Maybe if the Dems would pay their taxes the government could afford
some stimulus.
