and i didn't even copy paste that like the above post...

With you captainc!!!! I don't think bely65 would know reality if it flew over and $@!& on his head. Our health Ins. went up another $100 per month ( 9600,00 per year) and were told if there was not a reprieve ( bama signed waiver) from the regulations that were supposed to start it would have been much more then that. What about next year though? Almost $300. a month of my mortgage goes to property taxes, I live in a Row Home thats just under 2000 sq. ft. and neighborhood values have dropped from $300,000, down to $250,000,

Maryland is planing on raising Gas taxes now by as much as .15 per gal. because they over spent and the bama state hand outs last year carried them for the election year so they did nothing. Re-elected our liberal fruit governor who said he was not going to raise taxes but now things are worst then he thought RIGHT!!! The buffalo already voted they'll stand there and be oblivious while be taken.
The county is talking about having to raise its piggyback Income tax to cover the pensions of teachers that the state says they can no longer afford so they want to pass the cost to the counties. Where do they think the counties are going to get the money for there bad pension deals made with the unions back in the 70's We already give an amount equal to %55 of what tax we give the state and they want more.
Unemployment is 9.8 and belly's stupid statement that only %5 college grads are unemployed don't tell you where they are employed at. McDonald's I am sure has plenty of them along with Walmart and Target and the local Grocery store, I even know three that work at the local Kohl's store.

Manufacturing has gone over seas and now tech jobs are going, we can't survive as just a service oriented economy. Who is going to be able to afford the services? What happens to those who can't afford any, who pays and how.


I didn't post the statistic that you refered to as stupid, that was what inbalance 99 wrote.

It's amusing that you want to blame Obama for jobs going overseas...when in reality it is the greedy corporations that have abandoned the American workforce for cheap labor markets. Another example of your confusion over what is really going on in our country and the world.
And do you think the free trade agreement that bama just made with Korea will equate to an even dollar for dollar trade with them? I think they will be sending us lots of there goods free of cost and buying very little of our products!!!! Sounds like more manufacture jobs for Korea not us. Fair trade needs checks and balances, labor cost has to come into the equation. Tariffs have to be there to balance the trade cost and economic loss to the economy. At a time when the country is starved for revenue we have given away a stream of import revenue. This revenue is becoming more and more non existent over the years helping foreign economies and hurting ours. The World Trade Organization has done nothing but bring the U.S. down. Time to drop out of the WTO the IMF and the biggest bunch of fools the U.N. the United States has been carrying the bulk cost of all these organizations let others pick up this cost if they want it so bad. What a great day it would be to see the U.N. move to Europe.

What is wrong with this? EVERYTHING OUR MONEY!!!!


WASHINGTON — Top Democratic fundraisers and lobbyists with links to the White House are behind a proposed wind farm in Texas that stands to get $450 million in stimulus money, even though a Chinese company would operate the farm and its turbines would be built in China.
The farm’s backers also have close ties with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who, at the height of his hard-fought re-election bid this fall, helped blunt congressional criticism over stimulus dollars possibly going to create jobs in China by endorsing a proposal by the Chinese company to build a factory in his home state. Although his campaign received thousands of dollars in donations from the wind farm’s backers and Reid stood on stage with them at a campaign event they hosted, his office declined to answer any questions about the wind farm’s organizers or their plans for Nevada.
