NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The recovery is picking up steam as employers boost payrolls, but economists think the government's stimulus package and jobs bill had little to do with the rebound, according to a survey released Monday. In latest quarterly survey by the National Association for Business ...

AH, it's the old 'what about this country' red herring.

SO, we shouldn't help ANY country, if we can't help them all?

Got it!

Those sneaky jews!

I don't have that book anymore, I sold it, but it is a very good reference for the history of the relationship between the US and Israel. I'd recommend it to anybody who wanted to know some of the reasons we back Israel so much.

A sincere question. How have they been one of our greatest allies since WW2? Concrete examples. And the Russian Jew, was he Israeli, or did he come straight from the USSR to the US? There is a difference between being Jewish and being Israeli...don't confuse the Jewish people with the country of Is...

Israel has been one of our greatest allies since the end of WW2. In fact, it was a Russian Jew who left the Soviet Union and took some documents about the plans to spread communism, that gave us our greatest insight on how Russia was conducting itself in a post WW2 world. As time goes on, they have ...

No, you don't just insert tax happy Democrat president instead of CBO, because the CBO is nonpartisan. You don't seem to give a shit whether they're accurate or not, you're hell-bent on arguing with them. All I am saying is, it is impossible to predict the cost of health care over ten years from no...

So, we're giving them $50million of tax payer money, so that they don't have financial problems in the future? Makes no sense at all. Best way to ensure banks don't waste tax payer money, is to not GIVE them tax payer money. How in God's name did you get that out of what was posted? Are you intenti...

"That's simply not true" because some guy called "VinnieKulick" on a message board says it isn't? If I'm drinking the Obama Kool Aid, then so is the CBO, and you are not remotely as qualified to determine whether it is deficit neutral as the CBO. Which by the way wasn't around t...

A massive volcanic plume covering most of Europe forced President Obama to cancel a Sunday trip to Poland to attend the funeral of the nation's president. But the last-minute change left an opening in his schedule, so the president headed to the links for a round of golf instead. On a cool but sun-...

Apparently Frank Luntz wrote a memo explaining how to twist the message so that people will think the bill does the opposite of what it actually does, then the memo got leaked, then Mitch McConnell got busted using all the talking points from the memo. And, what exactly does the bill, which hasn't ...

Worst president of all time. I'll be bitching about Bush for years to come, believe me. Yeah, because that Carter was such a great leader. You know what Vinnie, it's really dishonest the way you throw around that "trillion-dollar" figure, because the health care reform bill is offset by o...

Maybe he needs some of what that Cunt (yes with a capital C) Pelosi had done.

GE owes the government ZERO dollars for taxes this year.

The entire tax code needs to be blown up and done over.

It's paid for! That's the part you keep downplaying. And needlessly? Why needlessly, because you already have health insurance and it doesn't affect you? Very selfless of you Vinnie. It is not paid for (yet) and that's the fucking problem. You can say that medicare is an unavoidable expense, but wh...

But hey, don't take this conservative's word for it, check out what Newsweek has to say.

Just because you say "that spending is because of the health care bill" doesn't take away from the fact that the health care bill spends billions of dollars, needlessly. On top of all the other crooked shit that's included, and all the retarded laws that are hid away in it, it's pretty muc...

Yeah, now that he's out of office you're saying it, because you're defensive about being rightly called out as a hypocrite on the topic of fiscal responsibility. A day late and dollar short. You joined in December 2005. That means you had nearly three years to criticize Bush for his fiscal irrespon...

First of all, we've been over this before, but excuse me if I don't believe you complained about Bush's spending. Despite EVERY time you mention it, I say I was against his out of control spending? Second of all, we've been over THIS too: I even started a thread on it based on your whining about Ob...

So Ugmo, your view is, if a person didn't complain about one president, he loses the ability to complain about the next president? What? No, you can complain about whomever you want. Just be prepared to be called a hyprocrite who cares only about political victories and not the good of the country ...

It doesn't matter that it's not a BIG tax increase (and, we're assuming that this amount is going to be accurate, which it most likely will NOT be) the fact is, when he said over and over again that "nobody making less than $200,000 will have their taxes increased" (not to mention letting ...

The clip is nearly two years old.

Ask Senator Nelson.

That's they way it is now. Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, they have to provide the service then sue them to try to get money for it. Why not allow allow them the same option other service industries have? If you don't have money, a mechanic doesn't have to fix your car....

If it's all about gaming the system, why mandate health insurance when flexible spending accounts are available? Because the dumbasses who are too cheap to cough up for insurance got better things to do with their money than stick it in the bank when they're not even sick yet. Maybe we should have ...

The argument for the mandate is that it will make you take care of yourself, because you have insurance. It's telling you that you have to be healthy, to save money. It's dictating how you control your own health and health care.

The point is, should the government be able to tell you what to do with your body? Be it having or not having an abortion, OR keeping health insurance, it should be the same.
