Something doesn't make sense to me.... The WEEKLY 'new unemployment claims are between 300,000 and 400,000. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 million a month. The normal population growth adds about 75,000 to 125,000 new workers every MONTH (I've seen various figures in that range). We add 150,000 jobs a MONTH... and unemployment is supposed to go down? What do I know about math... my graduate work was in physics.

Morris is always certain and occasionally right. Even so, this time I am hoping he IS correct.

NO IT WASN'T. The 'alterations' are NOT what happens when you pdf a document. try doing it yourself and see what you come up with. my wife has done graphics (using adobe creative suite) for about a decade. NOTHING she has made into a pdf EVER looked like the supposed birth certificate.

There's SOOO much wrong with the way college is financed today. Take Pell grants, for example. You can go to a community college or state school with low tuition rates and get more in the grant than you pay in tuition. And all you need is a 2.0 GPA to maintain it. In today's schools (with points for turning in homework, attendance, etc), you can get a C without hardly learning anything just by doing the work. There is no benefit (financially in the Pell grant program) to working for better grades. My wife has taken classes at a community college and seen first hand how DUIMB many of the kids there are... all they want is to get their money, go to classes a few hours a week and have the rest of the time to play video games, etc.

This is scary... it seems that every day this country is getting more like Germany in the 30's. One of Goebbels (spelling?) concepts was 'the big lie'. You tell an unbelievable whooper enough times and people start to believe it. Apparently this administration is following that concept. Who knows where the similarities will end....................................

Just for fun, try looking at a few actual FACTS. Look at the economic growth after 9/11 until 2007 when reid and pelosi took over congress (lack of caps intentional). Unemployment was around 4.2 % as I recall when the dems took over congress. Within 2 years we had the meltdown and collapse. If you chart unemployment vs who controls congress - you get some VERY interesting results. Try it and see.

(Paraphrased from H. L. Menchen, don't remember exact wording) Democracy is the foolish belief in the collective wisdom of individually ignorent people. I personally think it will come down the fraud vote. If fraud can be kept to a reasonable minimum then he will lose. If it goes 'Chicago style' he will win. I hope i'm wrong and he just loses big time.

Leftists always have 2 responses for why a 'plan' failed to achieve it's goals: either enough money wasn't spent or the wrong people were in charge. As Churchill once said - regardless of how beautiful the plan, you occasionally have to look at the results.

To me 'fair' would be you pay the same percantage of the tax bill as you have of the total income. In other words, let's just say that the top 1% makes 30% of the total income (i have no idea if that number is close to correct, I just made it up for sake of arguement), then they should pay 30% of the total tax bill. Same for the top 10%, etc. A few months ago I spent numerous hours talking to occupy tampa people. Most wanted the richnto pay thier fair share... but none could give me a number thet thougfht was fair. None had a clue as to how much the top 1% were asctually paying. My reply - if you don't know what they are paying and you don't knowcwhat they should be paying, how can you say they aren't paying thier share?
