Politics & Government - 14 December 2007

I like the idea of small government and lower taxes, since as any economist will tell you, taxes cause dead weight loss which shrinks the economy and hurts everyone. But I disagree with him on several other points.

But anyways, is there any other candidates that support small government, meaning limited social programs and reduced defense spending?

Why don't they just send them to the army?

I was thinking, prisoners that are in prison for life, why don't they give them the option of serving in the army or serving life in jail? I mean, we all know that the prisons are getting way too crowded and our money(tax) is going to them for food and other things. Is it that they are not capable of being taught? It's a solution, I guess...? Me personally I think that some of them will choose to go to the army & follow through with it.

Do any of you have a degree in constitutional law or even minored in it for any length of time?

If not , what make you think you understand so much of what the document means?

there is no person interpretation. and i feel to many ppl pretend to understand it

i know i havent studied it more then a few weeks every so often when i was in high school and very little in college, and can only understand to sort of know what its all about.

So why so many on this section seem to act like they were there writing it and totally get it?

i just think to many assume they know exactly whats every bit of it is about .

My friend has gotten pulled over 50 times roughly. And has received about 10-15 tickets. I don't think he has a shot with the background check being such a crucial part of the process of application.

Is this what the troops are really saying about the Iraq war?

POLL OF TROOPS AND FAMILIES SHOWS LITTLE SUPPORT FOR BUSH, IRAQ WAR – You wouldn’t know it from those who say from some of those who say they speak for the troops, but a poll of them from the LA Times and Bloomberg news finds that the vast majority of troops and military families have abandoned the President and are highly critical of the war in Iraq. The poll is yet more demonstrable proof that VoteVets.org is the voice of the troops. The poll finds that only 36 percent of troops and military families say it was worth going to war in Iraq and 37 percent of military-family members approve of the job Bush is doing as president. “The same trend holds true on the question of the treatment of active-duty military, veterans and their families. The poll finds that only 29 percent of all poll respondents say they believe the Bush administration is doing a good job handling those needs,” reports Bloomberg.

How will a "less than honorable" navy discharge affect a contract job requiring security clearance?

I'm interviewing for a contractor-related job which will be working on a navy base. I was told the job required a security clearance. 12 years ago when I was briefly in the navy I had a "less than honorable" discharge (tested positive on drug test - only time in my life before or since I ever tried anything). Question is - what kind of security clearance are they looking for with civilian workers do you think? I have no criminal record and have been quite the upstanding citizen since then. Being so long ago and me not being in the military now, would they absolutely demand nothing less than an honorable discharge or "don't bother applying - ever"? Or what if the event was, say, 60 years ago? Is it that no amount of time passed under the bridge will erase this discharge and allow you to get a civilian job on their base, or would they only deny a "dishonorable" or "misconduct" discharge status? Please only knowledgeable answers, not just speculation.

Everyone knows 9/11 was an inside job right?

I have close friends who claim that they know it was an inside job, and that they supported the destrcution of the WTC and the Pentagon. I have since broke of my ties with them, and more and more people I know are coming out either saying it was an inside job, or they supported it. What is wrong with you people? Wasn't pre 9/11 times good enough for you, or did you have to go and screw everything up for your own selfish interest? 911 insiders will burn in hell!
