Have to answer your post even though I have tried to not get involved.
Item 1(following you). I'd rather not be involved in a war in Iraq....But since we took on Saddam etc...we haven't had any more large scale terrorist things happen here. I'd rather our military was fighting the extremists there than having civilians fightin 'em here.

Interesting, and I agree. I also think we are creating more terrorists than ever though. I think if we could of stayed out of Iraq, fully completed the objectives in Afganistan with international support, and continued to work to stabilize Isreal and the Palistinians that we would be in a lot better shape than now.

National Health insurance. Don't you think that the tax paying public is paying enough now for unproductive "citizens? [...] How about weeding them out of the system.

I agree there needs to be reform in that area as well

I personally would rather be able to put some of the money I would pay into Social security under my own control. But no...the Democraps REALLY don't want that.

You're absolutly right. The key word is "security". Most people say they can manage this money better themselves. But look at the debt we're in, look at how much of your money COULD be lost in the stock market. There's not going to be many people with pensions in 50 years. They are going to depend on a 401k (which people can screw up by not having one) and social security. Social security, medicare, etc exists so that the elderly and disabled have the three basic elements to live 1. food 2. water. 3. shelter.
I think it is better to keep social security from the public hands. Yes, it stands to make more money for you but it also stands to lose the money that older people desperatly need. And we're old and grey we are going to need this "gauranteed" money to pay our bills in all likelyhood.

As far as impeaching Clinto.."for no valid reason??". I really do expect the President of the US to be someone with good moral values and someone who says things like I tried marijuana...but didn't inhale. C'mon...or what we were doing wasn't REALLY sex....

He banged an fat intern and lied about it. Is that so bad? I did it 4 times this week and she was a lot uglier than monica
Naw, the republicans HATED Clinton...HATED CLINTON and I would say actually feared him and what he could accompish because it was against the republican agenda.

Do you know what percentage of the price of a car is union wages and pensions?
|
Yes I do, my grandfather and dad both retired from Ford.
And do you really think Ford, GM, etc, construction contractors, etc are going to pass the savings on to the consumer or to the company???
Hmm...that's why union and non-union houses cost the same money for the consumer. The owner is pocketing the rest.
You're right I am talking more like a socialist than a southerner.
Maybe I need to start a third party and call it the "Southern Socialist" party
I hope no other posts came in while I'm typing because my hands are getting tired
