The Bush administration's own treasury department stated that if Bush's tax cuts remained permanent that they would only produce 10% of the amount required for the amount of tax lost.

Edward Lazer, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors stated "I certainly would not claim that tax cuts pay for themselves" in testimony he gave last year on the Hill.

So, when are the American people going to challange the failings of the cut taxes election dogma?

Why are they ignoring the original question - Why don't they think the military is professional enough to handle this?

Didn't one of the candidates - it might have been Huckabee, I'm not sure - answer that the reason we can't have gays serving openly is that there are too many Southern Christian bigots in the military?

And people in the audience applauded. Is this an acceptable answer to Republicans and Christians???

Why are people focusing on WHO asked the question and not on the answer?

Do you think the hostage situation in NH yesterday will have any effect on Hillary's chances? Will folks think she will be a target if she gets into office?

I was very disappointed in how badly most of the Republicna candidates behaved. Especially Rudy and Mitt! The only one who acted LIKE a President and who was respectful of the time limits and who did NOT mud sling was Mike Huckabee.
Hillary and Obama are also very embarrassing and act like school children too. What did you think of Wednesday night's debate?

The military section is usually good, with a lot of incite and cross discussion, but there's this member who goes by many names. He keeps posting the same types of questions all the time. "...I've earned my DD213," or "Why are people so upset I earned my DD214". The same BS over and over. My Q's,
Why is a DD214 so special?
Doesn't every single military member get one, regardless if they served Honorably or not?

How does increasing taxes on upper income individuals and creating a national healthcare system solve the problems we are grappling with today?
What about federal fiscal control, illegal workers, jobs in the mid-west, energy, the trade imbalance, the falling dollar, rebuilding infrastrucure, education.
On these issues and many more, they seem to be offering business as usual.
And what about the currently Democratic controlled congress? What leadership are they displaying other than obstructionism?

In my line of work, I do see a lot many exception to this rule.

By definition, an expat is a leisure tourist who spends dollars in the third world paradise. An immigrant is a person who legally migrates to another country because of his job skills/marriage arrangements.

So all those British and American English schoolteachers "working" in Thailand, China, Korea, Japan are "expats" and a tourist from a third-world country still an "immigrant".

Isn't this the last bastion of racism we don't want to address in Western society?

I have often been told that we never hear from him or about him in the mainstream press, because he is too subversive to the current or dominant government line or policy; and apparently that applies to every US administration going back to the 60's. How can one person be so "right" about everything, and yet be so ignored by the rest of us. Name me another person in history you might compare him too.

yes

and the reason is is that the dems dont seem to have the balls to do what they were voted in to do in 06...end the Iraq war simply by not funding it which would force it to end.

Ok....long story short I was in the AF. I did my time, got out and then VERY shortly regretted it. Go figure. Since AF is NOT takin prior service. I "have to" join another branch. I was leanin more on the Navy side. Do I keep my rank or do I start all over from the bottom? Keepin in mind that there will be a year break from my serperation from the Air Force to my enterance to the navy.
