Better start checking where that thingamajig is made John. Chances are It won't say Made in the USA. Any bets it says "Made in China" or "Made in Indonesia" or any number of places that aren't here? Aren't you "glad" out President is doing so much for "us" instead of getting out of OUR way and letting us start doing for OURSELVES! You know that "we" must not be capable of making those choices all alone.

What you can never get a leftard to understand is that the more "protection" a law provides, the more powerful the bureaucracy gets, and the more influence Corporations, Banks, and Wall Street buys. These guys don't sit idly by and do nothing- they find other ways to circumvent these laws with innovative ways that AREN'T regulated to remain profitable. They pay lobbyists BIG money to get a slight change in language to accommodate their needs too. These same laws ALSO stifle COMPETITION from new start ups and old competitors and put many out of business or floundering to get started. ONLY the BIG CORPORATIONS can actually AFFORD these regs and laws. Since D-F, look at the number of SMALL Banks that have SOLD to the "Bigs".

WIthout DEFENDING Warren, but isn't this EXACTLY what you get when you have this "diversity" and "minority hiring practices" CRAP that has been foisted on everyone? What is WRONG with us being just either AMERICAN CITIZEN or not?? This ONLY goes to show you that when you ALLOW government to "classify" you into a little bitty "groups', you end up with this garbage. It's NOT based on WHO is best qualified, but WHO fits what "class". Someone tell me that this TOTALLY violates the 14th Amendment "equal protection" clause. Now LYING is wrong. But to have a reason TO lie to "fit the agenda" due TO the "diversity" garbage only outlines the NEED to end it- PERIOD.

So JR, do you really think most people get that when you take into account price increases at the pump and food (which isn't "counted" in the inflation index) that the actual GDP growth rate is totally inflationary? Do you actually think people understand that inflation is nothing more than currency devaluation? When inflation exceeds or equals actual growth, you have ZERO growth, but nothing but more worthless money with which you get less and less when you DO purchase something. Didn't Jefferson WARN about a Central Bank manipulating currency by first inflating and then deflating it for the purpose of controlling the people? It's called BOOM/BUST economic Armageddon and seems 'ol Thomas was right after all. What an old fuddy duddy idea.

So you really think that asking a Liberal to "do nothing" is a workable solution? When their entire mindset is to "do it all" for everyone. They don't see the people, generally, as capable of determining for ourselves the path we choose to take, much less develop policies that allow us to do that- or taxation that let's us succeed on our own. They want us to be "Julia's" that first turns to government to met out our "our fair share" of whatever it is "our fair share" might be as predetermined by "them".

The real question is why are so many Americans so willing to surrender their Freedom and Liberty to obtain personal security and more individual goodies from ALL lawmakers. For too many years people demanded government "do more", when reality is that all they have succeeded in doing is the continuation of "fool the masses". The obfuscation of the "role of government" has become "take care of the people' instead of taking care of people's LIBERTY and let "we the people" take care of ourselves. Instead of "protect and defend the Constitution", Washington has become "provide the goodies" and subject the people into little minions.

The politics of Black on Black crime doesn't play well with the race hustlers. It means you actually have to admit there is a problem and that you are willing to develop solutions. It means you have to actually go into your own "communities" and examine the reasons and come up with the solutions. Politicos will instead look to someone to blame and it always evolves around "skin color" that is the exact opposite of yours. It means that you have to admit FAILURE of intervention programs designed to stop the problem and that these "programs" are THE PROBLEM. When you end "making money" from the "solutions" (that don't work) and put responsibility where it lies, then there is no ignoring the facts. Just "blame whitey"- it's more profitable.

Heir Franz, you should REALLY go back to that school and get your money back. Obviously you never learned that when assets are exceeded by liabilities, there is no wealth to extract. Bain took many of these types of businesses and turned them into wealth creators, which means they increased the assets into profits and curtailed the liabilities into manageable parts of those businesses. Maybe we need a law that pays YOU to be stupid. It should also require that when you take the cash, you lose your vote to go with it.

Well JR, we already have Stupidity Laws that are choking Americans left and right. Try starting a new business today and you will find out that what cost $1000 to get started 4 years ago now costs $250,000 today. Now that is pretty stupid to shut out the vast majority of entrepreneurs who just finally say "that's stupid" to even try.

When you have 85% or more of the people running the Obama Administration who have never ran so much as a cake tasting business, what do you expect? Finally we are getting the Bozos running the circus as has been the goal of the "theorists" for generations. It's the same "if only we were in charge" mentality that has pervaded the Liberals for generations. Face it- Business people run businesses and succeed. These so called "theorists" try to tell you why that won't work and now they get to make the rules? Is it no wonder doing NOTHING is their best solution?
