Politics & Government - 10 January 2007

Is this really helping our economy? Or is this the reason that we have 17.5 million people unemployed in the US? If you don't think this is the cause of unemployment, what is the cause? Do you think it is the cause of the escalation of homeless people...going from 300,000 to 750,000 in Bush's terms of office?

I requested and was approved for vacation time by my employer. This time off was requested and approved on December 17th, 2006. The time off is for January 6th and January 9th through the 13th of 2007, respectively. Every year our time off restarts. Since I've been with the company for five years, I am allotted 160 hours of paid time off. 120 hours of that is vacation time. 40 hours of that is optional holidays. According to the new attendance policy (presented to us after January 1st, and AFTER I submitted and was approved for the time off...ergo, I was not properly informed of said policy), we are only allowed to use our optional holiday time within the first two weeks of January. My approved days of January 6th and the 9th - 12th would have been covered since I normally worked 4 hours on January 6th and 9 hours each day on the 9th - 12th, totalling 40 hours of optional time. I was told that I had to drop the 13th. Can make me do this legally being that it is already pre-approved?

** They voted FOR the war before voting against it.
** The do not want to approve more money for the troops but don't want to immediately pull them out now either.
** Do not want to WIN so that Republicans and President Bush look good for the next election.

This is all being done for political reasons and they seem to be doing a good job pulling the wool over the American people's eyes.

It has been about 11 years since the most under paid Americans have had a pay raise. And in this 11 years the legisslators have raised there own pay about $32,000.00....at our expense and yes even the most under paids expense. So what do you think should it be raised?

Me and two other girls at work are all getting trained for the supervisor job at my work. We will all get the job, there is no challenge among co-workers here.
However, if you are going to get hired as a regular employee, there is no background check. But to have your own keys and codes and whatnot, you have to have a background check. If something shows up on your record, not only do you not get the job, you get fired. Automatically. No excuses, explanations or exceptions.
She was talking to our assistant manager today and she said something about having criminal charges that were either dismissed or dropped before judgement/court. Well they still show up on her record? If she was charged with something, will the charges show up even if there was no trial?

The latest poll has the idea opposed by 61% of Americans and favored by only 36%. And only 26% now supports Bush's Iraq strategy - an all time low.

How many small business people are paying their workers minimum wage? How many fast food places, McDonald's, Burger King, etc. Who does this really affect? The truth is the federal minimum wage should be called the federal poverty wage. Yes? No?

We can do a better job of negociating with terrorists from a position of strength - not weakness.

They will see us as weak if we cut & run.
