That's the key - can they actually do something with nothing. Can they keep the economic momentum moving in a positive direction, can they actually come up with a good plan to get us out of the mess in Iraq and I think even more importantly, can they actually emulate the Republicans and toe the party line without inter-party squabbling they are famous for. More importantly than that is this - can they do it without reducing the economic power of the middle class by staying away from taxes and more entitlement programs. It will be an interesting couple of years. How many think that we will be sinking into a deep recession by this time next year? Unfortunately, I do. The recession has already started. Then it's the republican's fault!! BK, you haven't been paying attention. It's Clinton's fault. You have to go back two terms to find the blame. Ooops, I forgot!! Everything is Clinton's fault. I wonder how they'll blame the fall of Rummy and the Bush administration on him....... That's how Rs justify Clinton's success. Going back two terms puts you in Reagan territory, savior of all mankind, but especially rich bankers who robbed the American public blind. What gets me is that the Republicans CLAIM to cut taxes. They don't. They just shuffle money around to make it LOOK like they do. Take for instance in GA. Up until Gov. Perdue took office, a Republican, we had one of the best lottery for education purposes going. The HOPE scholarship. Keep a B average in high school, you get first years tuition and books paid to any in-state school. Keep a B average in college, it continues. Worked VERY well. When Perdue got into office, he almost INSTANTLY started putting his slimey hands on the HOPE grants, and made new much more strict rules and payment restrictions on it, using the money for other things. Is the lottery a tax? You started out by mentioning taxes. LOL! And the larger paychecks we saw because of less taxes being taken out were just figments of our imagination according to him also. The paychecks may have LOOKED larger but they really weren't. ;-) That's *our* Bassy for you. What an idiot. If you got a bigger paycheck because of tax cuts, but spent more because of the the inflation that it caused, that's somehow a good thing? What a dolt. Hasn't inflation been pretty tame for a while now? Tame compared to what? Everything is relative, you know. Did you ever understand the lottery/taxes situation that is occuring here in GA? The GA Hope Scholarship still provides tuition to B students. I didn't ever say that it didn't. What I said was a lot of the programs, and benefits of the HOPE were cut. Now, if you want to know more, ask. I live here and have students in the system. If you just think you know what you are talking about and want to act like an expert on the GA lottery and HOPE scholarship, go for it. Bassy, The benefits have been cut slightly because the income generated from the lottery has not kept up with the costs of education and the students eligible for the Hope Scholarship, so to kept the Hope Scholarship financial secure, they made some minor reductions in benefits paid. It has nothing to do with anyone "putting their slimy hands on the Hope money and using it for others things". According to those who run the Georgia Lottery: In accordance with the Georgia Lottery for Education Act and the Georgia Constitution, proceeds from lottery sales have been used to solely fund the following educational programs: Tuition grants, scholarships or loans to undergraduate college students and teachers who seek advanced degrees in critical areas of need; Voluntary prekindergarten program; Technology grants to train teachers in the use and application of advanced technology and capital outlay projects for educational facilities. Now if am I wrong in this matter I would appreciate you correcting me, but it might be a more productive conversation if you take the chip off your shoulder and learn how to discuss things in a more rational manner. |
