Tax REVENUE is up - and it's rising at over 4 times CPI. There IS a Laffer Curve and we're NOT on the right side of it. So, neither the Treasury nor the beneficiaries of any government program have suffered because of the tax rate cuts - in fact, they've gained by them. "Where'd the deficit come from?" From the spending. Yes we need to cut that, and yes I blame Bush, but it has nothing to do with the tax cuts.

So there is no reason not to make the tax cuts permanent other than sticking it to people with a high income in a given year - - SIMPLY FOR ITS OWN SAKE.

The only two reasons to do this are (1) envy, typically misplaced given the degree of mobility in the US, and (2) the notion that it's important to maintain a large 'middle class' - - - even if that means keeping households in the middle class from becoming affluent.

They're still there, they're still in the middle, but some now make 6-7X the poverty level rather than 3-4X. Why is that bad?

they see that everyone is moving to alternate fuels?

They've already dropped at the pumps but I think they will drop dramatically as the "need" for oil lessens..not that there was ever an excuse WHY it had to be this high...I think it was just a cash grab because they COULD--because there was an excuse--the WAR--they must really think that people are STUPID...I'm just happy we're moving away from it and good riddance. Once we learn to harness the power of the sun, winds and water...we will be a billion times better off.

I can only imagine what the greedy will go after then to line their pockets with at OUR expense...I really believe they are profiting off of KILLING us right now...keeping us SICK and POOR, and too occupied with tearing each other down to focus our wrath onto THEM.

Barak Obama recently said that judgment is more important than experience. I was wondering if you agree with him?

Politically wouldn't it be better if people had a basic grasp of economics?

If people understood that it's not a zero sum game - that when people speak only in terms of the relative it's usually because what's going on in absolute terms doesn't support their conclusion - wouldn't a better-educated electorate be better?

Why do “some people” think that opposing Bush policies is; “keeping this country divided”, are we only united if we follow blindly a ‘leader” who is not (a leader)?

Why do people seem to need to buy those ugly military guns?

They are useless for anything but killing other people. I think that all guns should be taken away.

I brought the incidents to the attention of my company, who initially said this woman would never work for the company again. Now I find that with a choice of various locations, I have to work abroad with this same woman for a short-term contract. Am I within my rights refusing to go?

My grandma died last week friday. I live in in the USA, she lived in Hungary. My boss told me, that I can take the 3 days bereavement leave even if I don't attend the funeral. 3 hours later (since they worried who was going to do my job for 3 days) they said I can't leave because I don't go to Hungary.

This is in the company policy:

"When death occurs in his/hers immeiate family (i.e. spouse, parent, child, brother, sister, mother/father-in-law, or grandparents), an employee, on request, will be excused for three (3) normally scheduled days of work (or such fewer days as the employee may absent) during the three (3) days (excluding Saturday and Sunday) immediately following the date of death provided funeral."

That was their excuse.....

The Soviet war in Afghanistan was a nine-year conflict involving Soviet forces supporting Afghanistan's Marxist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) government against the largely Islamic fundamentalist Mujahideen insurgents that were fighting to overthrow Soviet rule. The Soviet Union supported the government while the rebels found support from a variety of sources including the United States, Pakistan and other Muslim nations in the context of the Cold War. This conflict was concurrent to the 1979 Iranian Revolution and the Iran-Iraq War.
The initial Soviet deployment of the 40th Army in Afghanistan began on December 25, 1979. The final troop withdrawal began on May 15, 1988, and ended on February 15, 1989. Due to the high cost and ultimate futility of this conflict for this Cold War superpower, the Soviet war in Afghanistan has often been referred to as the equivalent of the United States' Vietnam War.
Some observers believe the economic and military cost of the war contributed significantly to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991[5].

Material losses were as follows:
118 aircraft
333 helicopters
147 tanks
1,314 IFV/APCs
433 artillery guns and mortars
1,138 radio sets and command vehicles
510 engineering vehicles
11,369 trucks and petrol tankers

The total irrecoverable personnel losses of the Soviet Armed Forces, frontier and internal security troops came to 14,453.

Soviet Army formations, 13,833,
KGB sub units lost 572,
MVD formations lost 28
10,751 men were left disabled
