5. The left is strengthening globally. But I have little hope for the left wing of the Dem party.
   
It's now a neoliberal institution.

The only countries where something close to the left is strengthening is in Muslim countries where the troglodytes are taking over.

If you'd tax me more, I'd hire more people - as a small business owner
 (and the same would apply to any major corporation) if my taxes were raised by a sufficient amount, then I may as well hire more people to do more of the stuff around the office.

If my taxes were raised $30,000 a year (not very likely in my income bracket, but just for an example) then I won't have the money in my pocket. I may as well make my life easier (and save some money) by hiring someone for that money and have them do more work that I could make money off off. Additionally, since the $30K is now deductible from my income, I may actually wind up paying less in taxes since they're based on the profit the business earns. And if all the wealthy are hiring, more people have more money to buy more of whatever product I make.

It's the simple reason that employment goes up in higher tax periods and drops every time we give the "job creators" tax cuts. Even my grandmother gets this concept, and she worked at home her whole life. But somehow these brilliant economists consistently can't get their heads around it.

US borrowing tops 100% of GDP: Treasury
   
US debt shot up $238 billion to reach 100 percent of gross domestic project after the government's debt ceiling was lifted, Treasury figures showed on Wednesday.

Treasury borrowing jumped on Tuesday, the data showed, immediately after President Barack Obama signed into law an increase in the debt ceiling as the country's spending commitments reached a breaking point and it threatened to default on its debt.

The new borrowing took total public debt to $14.58 trillion, over end-2010 GDP of $14.53 trillion, and putting it in a league with highly indebted countries like Italy and Belgium.

Public debt subject to the official debt limit -- a slightly tighter definition -- was $14.53 trillion as of the end of Tuesday, rising from the previous official cap of $14.29 trillion a day earlier.

18. I am really frustrated with a friend who has been out of work
 well over a year. He refuses to take a job unless he makes what he was making before being laid off. So he sits in jogging pants all day on the internet (if you read this Doug; I was referring to someone else! LOL) and when he did get a job offer making relatively close money, he partied over the weekend in a bad way hoping something he read on the internet would make help him pass the drug test on that Monday. It failed. He hasn't had another decent offer in probably 6 months, but doesn't seem to care. Internet works. Money is rolling in, albeit less, and he can eat and drink to his heart's desire.

7. His plan was for them to hold 5lbs of C-4 each
   
I'd guess this is probably within reasonable payload limits for the types of RC planes he had.

5lbs of C-4 wouldn't do that much damage to a building and it's doubtful that it would have killed anyone unless they were pretty close to the blast.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x2024314

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't 5 lbs. of C-4 do a heck of a lot of damage?  I've seen them use very small amounts of C-4 on Mythbusters to get some big bangs.

IMO, 5 lbs. of C-4 wouldn't do catastrophic damage to the whole building.  Maybe to the room where they hit, but not much to the entire building--or to a wing (or a ring) of the building.

He supported TARP and is against an audit of the Fed.

Herman Cain's "Stage four" colon cancer should disqualify him
 
Five-year survival rate: 8 %.

Is it true that he was diagnosed Stage IV? Have his medical records made public?

I'm reminded of the Paul Tsongas fiasco, in which a candidate denied his own mortality and put his country at risk by running while suffering from a fatal illness.
Liberals support Obamacare, thinks cancer patients should hurry up and die.

14. That is the thing about choice
   
I don't have to like theirs, they don't have to like mine.

We just have to respect that each of us has a right to our OWN choice and leave it at that.

And let us be honest here...seriously, for every Duggar child, there are multitudes of abortions done that can offset the balance of damage to the earth.

I personally would rather have 20 abortions than 20 kids.


But, that is MY choice.

Let's just keep our eye on the prize. Preserve choice for ALL!

12. heart defect
   
if i had been aborted because i had a heart defect, i would not be 35, married with a beautiful one month old daugter. I never had costly heart surgery. I am pro-choice but anyone in such a situation should give it a lot of thought. As for the article, it's a terible tragedy.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
