Government - December 2007

Were you surprised that nearly all elected politicians from New York were pro- suffrage? Why do you think that was the case?

The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it always to be kept alive.

I know that there are some privatized airports in Europe, but airports in the US are usually run by cities and counties. Do they actually make a profit, or do they need taxpayer subsidy in order to survive?

A new U.S. intelligence report says Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and it remains on hold, contradicting the Bush administration's earlier assertion that Tehran was intent on developing a bomb.

I'm writing about the theroetical basis for the constituion for a government essay, I was told I would fine the answer in Federalist papers 47 48 and 49. Am I correct in thinkng that the basis is (to quote the constitution fo Georgia) "that the legislative, executive, and judiciary departments shall be separate and distinct, so that neither exercise the powers properly belonging to the other"

Is that right?

I remember George Bush served one term as President in the early 1990's. Why is he allowed to serve two more terms (2001-2009) for a total of three?

What are your thoughts. I think that if people need assistance for a short period of time just until they get back on their feet then that is fine. I was on foodstamps for a period of time when I was out of work after having my son. But got off of them as soon as I came back to work and was stable. I think the goverment should make these people that think it is ok to just sit on there A**es and collect get out there and get a job.... what do you think??? Maybe someone here can make me change my view on this!!

if yes, wouldn't it be a much better legal case to site his treason on border security and his position on illegals, rather than on his foreign policy and the war on islam? he is permitting this country to be overrun with illegals who drain our resources on local, state, and national levels, bring gangs, drugs and crime to our neighborhoods, re-introduce diseases eradicated long ago such as tuberculosis, destroy the environment wherever they live and, in due course, will replace our language and culture with theirs. THIS is the offense that cindy sheehan and the code pink nazis should be using to impeach this man, not the war on islam.

Is not it a loaded question? Should not it go along with fedral spending cuts (allof them not just the puny social spending)?

I am for tax cuts if we do not have record REPUBLICAN budget deficits ! I am for tax cuts if we di not have 2 trillion $ war!

Do not you feel it is manipulation and deception?

....and also keep cutting down forests at the current rate.

A) Please be as detailed as possible.

In answering, please address the fact that man's population on earth is growing, and that the number of people driving cars will only go up, and that we will have to cut down more forests to build more homes, and we will need more factories making things that we use.


Part B) Lastly, but even more importantly, please indicate which politcal party you think is better for the USA, the democrats or the republicans. To win best answer, you should address both parts A and part B.

The intent here is to generate and good discussion and exchange of ideas, which as we know in a free society is a postiive thing. So, I hope the name calling, and absurdly angry rhetoric can be checked at the door.

A million a minute, that's what we owe on the National Debt. It works out to about $30,000 per person....man, woman and child...in the United States, and it is still growing.

Clearly, this situation will end in extreme poverty or bankruptcy for the United States if other countries call in their debts. The National Debt adds up to 9.13 Trillion dollars, and as the interest rates compound, other programs in our country will have to be slashed.

When George Bush took office, the National Debt was 5.2 trillion. When he leaves office, it will top at about $10 trillion. That's $10,000,000,000,000.00.

In 1989, the National Debt was $2.7 trillion. It is estimated that the Iraq War will add $2.4 trillion to these totals. Out of the National Debt money, $4. trillion is owed to the Social Security program. The rest is made up mostly of loans from foreign investors, and our own banks, and other investors.

My question: Is it time to be more frugal and to start cutting down this debt?

I am so aggravated right now, my brother was released from prison after nearly 10yrs (drugs..nothing violent) he had a job through a temp agency, but was laid off, because the company had low production. Anyway, he cannot find a job around here because he has a felony. I believe that once they serve their time, they should be given at least a 2nd chance. Have their rights back whatever. Now I know he's my brother, but i felt this way before. what's aggravating is that im afraid if he doesn't find a job fast...he may be tempted to get back in the game again.. and it hurts cuz i can't help him.
