The calculus of living paycheck to paycheck in America is getting harder. What used to last four days might last half that long now. Pay the gas bill, but skip breakfast. Eat less for lunch so the kids can have a healthy dinner.

Across the nation, Americans are increasingly unable to stretch their dollars to the next payday as they juggle higher rent, food and energy bills. It's starting to affect middle-income working families as well as the poor, and has reached the point of affecting day-to-day calculations of merchants like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., 7-Eleven Inc. and Family Dollar Stores Inc.

I just don't understand. She criticizes Obama for his Iran policy and then she goes and says the same thing Obama says; not to mention she bites off of the other democrat's policies as well. I think she is just saying what the people want to hear, and I don't see how no one else sees it. How do you people feel? I feel uncomfortable with her running my country.

All I hear her talking about is Bush and her critism of the Republicans When she has no experience in even running a country; she doesn't even have the expertise people a -credit her with. I feel like the women of the country are going with the fact that she is a girl, which is not how it should be. It should be about the issues and who would be the most effective leader.
The only issue with Hillary is that war; which isn't all that bad.

He did this to appease the gay mafia who are hijacking our schools. It seems that gays are "uncomfortable" with those words because it assumes that all parents are straight. Let's see what words we can ban next. This is insane!

Well....I know of at least one very influential world leader who agrees with him 100%. In fact Bush has his full support on virtually all of his policies...from eavesdropping warrantlessly, to warmaking, to torture..etc...

So...please, leave Bush alone, he is our leader and he knows best!!!

Religion is a poor substitute for common sense, since it opens up a bigger question than it answers. If you are going to argue that God always was, you might as well argue that people always were. Neither argument makes any sense, does it?

Granted, non-manufacturing employment and inflation both look fine at the moment, but there are a lot of indicators suggesting we are in real trouble:
1. The dollar is as low as I've seen it, ever.
2. The credit markets are a wreck.
3. Energy costs are as high as I've seen them, ever; and I lived through the 70's OPEC embargo.
4. The deficit and national debt are breathtakingly high.

It seems that this house of cards is about to collapse. Already:
1. Unemployment is rising.
2. Corporate earnings are falling.

The unholy alliance of Bush administration stupidity and oil industry evil are about to send us all over the edge...

It's almost funny how the LA Times soothed over most of this criminal activity by the Clintoon campaign but still. This warrants an investigation!!!

I see so many people who mistakenly think that the unemployment rate is calculated by counting the people who collect unemployment. See answers to linked question:

Should people not be required to learn basic economics concepts in high school? I think that might help to clear up a great deal of the ignorance surrounding minimum wage, tax policy, etc. Thoughts?

Politics and emotions aside please ...

Just base on their look, the way they carry themselves etc, who will you choose to be is the third, second, first runner-up and the CHAMP?

My view is:
3rd - Mr. G Brown,
not so handsome, not so stylish, look like the uncle I meet on the street who is not very friendly.

2nd - Mr. Clinton
most handsome, stylish, kiddy look but act matured, always smiles but looks very fake to me.

1st - Mr. Tony B
handsome, most gentleman, very matured look but abit too serious i.e. like not so friendly.

CHAMP - Mr GW Bush
ok ok handsome, stylish, always smiles, matured look but cute, funny and very friendly.
He is like a young chap behind a matured face.

What about you?
