Government - November 2007

So america is suposed to be the richest country in the world... if not close to the richest country in the world... We have a high standard of liveing, pay a HELL of alot in taxes every year to the goverment... so why do we have a 9 trillion dollard debt?!?!? Thats $30,000 in debt for every man woman and child in this country!!! Its truely underminding our economy, we have not had a balanced budget since nixon if I remember correctly!

Why why oh why have the politions for the last few decades let this go on? Why do we still not have a balanced budget?

You may say, "ok, they may be smart, but some of them kill themself when they dont get good great and are afraid of their parents reaction."

Well, teens in here kill themself because they dont have a good body, or because they are not accepted by other pears. Teens here commit suicide and murder jist because they see so in a video game or movie.

I just want to know, why do Asians ten dto be smarter? I dont say that they are all smarter, but they sure tend to be.

And why do they not allocate land to people so they can build a home ?
They would save so much on housing benefit and everyone would be a lot happier !

Voted for both Bushes and as a Texan I believe he has turned his back on those who put him into office. I am baffled as to why a politician would do this to people who supported him. Anyone got any ideas?

What with all the atrocities in our healthcare, our military living in squalor, too many people living on one sinking island, overpriced everything from kids toys to petrol?

Are we still a great nation?

Is there any legal way or national situation that a President of the United States could stay in power longer than 2 terms ?

2007-11-28 01:35:15 · 23 answers · asked by Godzilla Gal 4

The longer politicians stay in office the more power hungry they become, the more time they are bought/influenced by lobbyists & special interests, and the more corrupt they can become.

If they only got one term there isn't any time for them to get power hungry, to get bought by lobbyists/special interests or to become corrupt mainly because they don't need to money to get re elected.

Because for me, I think it is better for us to have such. For we know already what we experienced for the past administrations and presidents who sat in the government. I think it is about time for us to think of it. Anyway, we still have the democracy within us and it is rightful for us to choose it or ignore it.

I keep seeing he same old nonsense about global warming on this site. It is public knowledge that sitting in some dark corner of the White House basement, the Bush baby had one of his alchemists doctor the reports that came out of his own scientists to conform with his oil industry misinformation about global warming. They have even outed the former oil lobbyist who did it.
In spite of this public information I keep seeing people quoting these doctored reports as proof that global worming is a myth. Don’t they teach anything about verifying sources in high school these days? I am assuming that this nonsense if from teenagers as it is difficult to believe that adults would be so indiscriminately gullible.
To those who insist on denying the obvious, are you learning how to tread water for a long long time or have you decided to grow gills.

The President during the time, Martin Van Buren was under the notion that an independent treasury would alleviate the financial system by refusing inadequately managed state banks access to government funds, which they might have used irresponsibly if given chance.

Is this the same as a national bank? I'm confused.

And, what good does a national bank (during this time) do anyway? It provides better organization for a developing country (that's what I've gathered from reading), right? Is there anything else?

Thanks for your help.

Open up office and write the Democratic party members in your state, and tell them you want them to Impeach the president and vice president for the felonies of treason, obstruction and perjury.
It would only take few minutes to write a short E-note and push send.
Thank you for helping your country.
