Well you all may find this hard to believe but the state of Washing is worse than Calf. when it comes to "saving the enviorment"When it comes down to indrustry,the liberal econ.folks here can't be beat for stifiling it.They have almost shut down the logging indrustry ,Steel production,lumber prouduction,and even some green energy progects as well.So we haven't had a recovery since clinton was in office.And people wonder why there is no jobs here in Washington.

Here in the state of Washington,several years ago,by the vote of the people,passed a new minimum wage law.It raised it up one time and it is tied into the cost of living index so it can be adjusted when needed for the worker.Now when it was first enacted there was an out cry from all those company's that employed people at minimum wage that said all kinds of gloom and doom things.Well they didn't lose to many coustomers cause the price of their products went up to cover the new cost of labor.They did have to do their buisiness differnt though,They started hiring better qualifide people that would work harder and also who really wanted to work.So yes we have to pay more for that "big mac" but not that much more than other places.

Robots have been around for a wile and do a lot that was done by hand by people.it works cheaply,fast and consintint,with few breakdowns.It will take a wile to build one that can do all that a human can do.When that happens there just won't be any jobs left out there for anyone in time.Also understand that any mechene out there that does the work that men used to do is a type of robot

Will that would be great to get done,governments seem to spend the money faster than it comes in so they are always behind in their payments anyway.Washing state uses revenue forcasting to figure out how much money they can spend.What got us in trouble is they built up a bigger government and when things went sour they didn't adjust for the decreace in revinue.this lead to a huge short fall that we still haven't got out of.What is good about doing buissness in this state is there is no income tax,although there is a sales tax(the hightest in the nation) as well as a B.&O.tax on all buisnesses.There is a lot a person can do here to bring in jobs to my state if they don't mind that we are in the far northwest cornor of the country.

One of my points excatly.

We had tried a gun buy back here in Washington State and what got turned were mostly junk guns that were not in very good shape at all.They came from people who are honest people and it did not make much of a differntance in the safety on the streets.If anything it seemed that more people were getting shot at.

Well the way I see it we must look back in history to understand what went wrong with the s.s.system.When the government addiltional money it would raid the s.s.tax collected for retirement purpouses.It was never payed back.Now it is time to pay the piper and there isn't enough to go around.So the money starts to come in from elsewhere to keep it going to the point where it now.Now I do belive that there needs to be some reform done that will make it a tad more solvant.First have an income cap on those about to retire.If they have a retirement program that would take care of them with enough money they wouldn't qualify for benifits.Then titen up the rules so the more able body people wont qualify.("mental"illness).
