Politics & Government - 12 September 2007

current national deficit is more than NINE TRILLION dollars.

The estimated population of the United States is 302,968,276
so each citizen's share of this debt is $29,762.75.

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.47 billion per day since September 29, 2006!

==========================

al-Qaida spent $500,000 on the event, while America, in the incident and its aftermath, lost - according to the lowest estimate - more than $500 billion.

Meaning that every dollar of al-Qaida defeated a million dollars.

Have them do the jobs no one else will take. Some people say we need the illegal immigrants to do these jobs. Why not utilize our prisoners instead?

I got this from a site and it says all the things I needed to say in reply to the idiotic notion that the WTC was brought down by controlled explosions:

Even those who believe this, there has to have been United and American airliners, otherwise you have to suppose that the govt had to keep all the airline personnel quiet, which is of course ridiculous.

When you consider the number of individuals involved in planning and execution, the explosive experts, the demolition professionals, the building engineers, the missile launch and maintenance personnel, the air traffic controllers and air base personnel, the kidnappers who had to remove the civilians from the planes and kill or hide them forever, the aircraft maintenance personnel who modified the planes, the agencies or organizations that provided the explosives, missiles, and planes, the pilots or robotic flight programmers to fly the planes, and God knows who else… the number of direct conspirators would have to be in hundreds

The mother of my son was ordered to pay a $500 bond to the court due to her noncompliance. The order states that if she violates the visitation order, the bond will be forfeited. If she is non-compliant, does the court then get to keep the money, what would be the next step the court might take on her? Is there a time frame? Any answers would be great!!!

The UK has a total prohibition of private ownership of firearms yet the incidence of crime with guns is increasing rapidly.

Do you agree with this statement "When guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns."?

I am a little annoyed right now. I waiting for my family's 4 passports. One arrived. Two are reported arrived. And one on it's way. I called the post office and the substitute postal carrier says he delivered all 3 but we did not receive it. We have locked boxes so it couldn't have been stolen out of it.

This is the second time (that I know of--kind of scary) that they have lost my mail. Last October my regular mail carrier was out for a month getting his appendix out. We went on vacation for a week and put our mail on vacation hold. When we returned our whole week's mail was missing. They never found it, either.

What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future? Is there someone I can complain to? When I call the post office they act like it's my fault. Also what action do I need to take regarding my lost passport and other important documents (birth certificate and marriage certificate? Are they responsible for the cost of replacing?

Many Americans arrogantly somehow believe and have a strong impression that people from other countries are so very much anxious to come and live in the US because of it's so called democracy, freedom and other nonsense like their country for some reason is best in the world. However people from my country, from other EU countries and from other more or less civilized countries on the contrary believe that there is no democracy nor there any freedom is left in the US As it appears that only some individuals from Mexico and other third world countries want to get in US in order to earn some extra money and to go back home as in their own third world countries income is lower than in the US.

The SSA Sent me my SSN Card and the Post Office Lost it.
I'm Concerned someone might use it if they find it..What Can I do?
The SSA And Post office told me there is nothing they can do... a ******* bullshit answer, meanwhile someone is probably making fraud or screwing up my credit they just sit back and eat McDonals. WTF!!!!

I set up a montly Credit check pretty much for the rest of my life now because some Idiots apparently "cant" do anything about it..and Credits checks dont come cheap.

And even if I do find them screwing up my credit all i can do is restore my Identity but my credit will still be screwd up.

My landlord recently took my security deposit because there was supposedly oil stains from my car although I have had it looked at numerous amounts of times by my mechanic and there is no leak of any fluids. Well my landlord took my security deposit for replacement of the entire driveway because there are oil stains and cracks in the cement. Can she do this? I live in MN by the the way!

Is there a law that states an employee MUST give out a 2 wks notice prior to resignation?
My boss is making me sign a "contract/ statement" that will require me and my coworkers to give out 2 wks notice...
if I/ we decide not to sign that contract, can he fire us on the spot and does that count as illegal/ can I claim unemployment benefits?
I've tried finding answers on the web but I can't seem to find any answers, so if anyone can give me some real advise/ give me a website I would really appreciate it!
Thanks.
