Deckchairs Posts: 96 Incept: 2012-07-06 The Slightly lessDemocrat -IC People's Rebuplic of Las	I really couldn't be bothered to watch such pomp and circumstance. It seemed to dominate the television stations much to my dismay. Decided to get away from it and go for a hike this afternoon. How much did we as taxpayers pay for this huge circus? I am all for a modest celebration of the peaceful transition of administrations even these second term ones. But why does it have to be so grand, so media saturated, so expensive etc. If we had real leaders they would insist on modesty not all this show. ---------- If I could just get my tax attorney to be my girlfriend life would be all right. 2013-01-21 16:29:36 Permalink

Drkshapiro Posts: 632 Incept: 2012-09-12 Southern CA	You're too young to retire Karl. Forget the trillions of dollars propping up bogus balance sheets of financial institutions. What about this: I don't like Katie Perry. As I often find myself hearing it in the car when my teenager is in it, well, it is awful. She gets asked to sing at inaugural events. Why is that, so we can demonstrate to the rest of the world we provide socialism to the rich AND the poor AND we have no taste? Deckchairs, you are right. ---------- Honesty may be the best policy, but its important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. --G Carlin Last modified: 2013-01-21 16:57:13 by drkshapiro 2013-01-21 16:55:45 Permalink

Blurtman Posts: 563 Incept: 2009-01-24 Banned	The self-obssessed Hispanic poet was a bit too much. As if he thought only his parents worked hard so that he could advance his status in life.

Mortgageguymn Posts: 1566 Incept: 2009-03-09 North Coast	The worst thing about the Ethno-Poetry Industrial Complex is that shrills like Nikki Giovanni encourage more minorities to try to make a life out of poetry, hip hop and the overall grievance industry. So while I sit here day in and day out doing loans for new immigrants from India and China who are in the top 5% of income within a couple years (if not months) of their arrival, people lament the fact that blacks & Hispanics lag behind (and will forever lag behind) in both income & wealth. Enough with the freaking poetry! Obama himself encourages the success-through-rap delusion by inviting people like Common to the White House and hobnobbing around with Jay-Z. 2013-01-21 18:57:04 Permalink
Drkshapiro Posts: 632 Incept: 2012-09-12 Southern CA	Mortageguy boy are you right. That's the type of stuff you can get a book about and learn on your own because you want to know about it.

Bertdilbert Posts: 2666 Incept: 2008-12-22 CA Online	"Karl, I think your explanation of the "$X per day of every day you work" is potential breakthrough material." Could be. I am not sure if he broke that down by every man woman and child or did that based on the number of working stiffs. Personally I find it annoying anytime people break it down to every man woman and child. While the math is good the, math is irrelevant when presented in that fashion as it understates the magnitude of the problem. It can only gain relevance when our daily/annual debt is placed in terms of working stiffs or working households. Our society will always have at any given time, children, students and retired plus other non working that are in essence sucking off the system. It is impossible for these current non contributors to count as when they die, become adults etc, they will be replaced by new units. My reasoning is that when people hear the number of debt per day or annual basis, they somewhat look at it as money owed and ability to repay. If you understate the number at the personal level by including non earners, it grossly understates the problem. Understating the problem is not going to wake people up and grab their attention. ---------- Dear Euroland: Relax, Germany has a plan for your money!
