I watched Barry last night for that 1 hour and change speech last night and came away with a couple thoughts - every senator and representative that has been in office over the last 20 years or more should retire in shame and forego his pension and entitlements, (new ones can stay but only 2 terms each) and Barry needs some serious Wade psuedoeconomics.

I mean how many of these clowns actually understand the basic principles of balancing a checkbook. Every Government agency should get an 80% budget until we're out of this shithole & taxes should be increased until we're out, but with that tax increase every citizen get's a free trip to D.C. on Barry's new high speed rail system to give his politician of choice a kick in the nuts.

I turned the channel after watching that shit for an hour and a half realizing none of these fools has any intention of doing a fucking thing; besides, the history channel had a show on the antichrist last night - I wish that asshole would hurry the fuck up already.

I don't WANT my taxes raised, but it is a necessary evil in which to actually balance this budget. The other part of the equation is for the momolucs in DC to quit using the taxpayer money like a piggy bank.

In reality, this problem cannot be solved and a balnced budget is fvcking pipe dream.

Imo, it would be smarter to just build up the debt right now. You have to get out of this slump. I vote left on the political spectrum and have been called a communist on this board quite a few times (in jest), but at this point, you have to lower taxes (for everyone, not only the rich) and pump money into the economy.

You'll have a deficit. That's pretty much unavoidable in an economy that's as down as this one and you try to keep it running.

Then, when we finally get out of this crap, you put taxes up by quite a bit and start saving some of that money that you get in and pay off debts. It's vital to get a surplus going, as that money will come in quite handy when your economy goes down the drain again.

Next to that, the next time, it shouldn't crash as hard.

Problem is, politics are a popularity contest. As soon as the economy is up, we don't want to pay more taxes, we want to enjoy our wealth. Spend money on crap we don't actually need. Buy things we can't afford. And, if they can get the votes, the politicians gladly move along.

In a couple of years, we'll end up in the same hole as we're in now, everyone pointing out how the government failed in hindsight.

At least the House can set a new agenda, and help define the stupidity and vacuuousness of our Dear Leader....and tenured members of both parties. Apparently these Ivy League fucks have not mastered 8th grade math.

Did you not notice my mention of "tenured members of both parties" Mass?? Read the whole thing, and try to avoid injecting your bias in my comments.

If you have ever read my comments of the past....and I know you have....you will note that in most I call out the failure of our government as a whole, and occassionally single our Democrats of late....as they HAVE had total control of goverment for several years until recently, for the abject failure of leadership.

Please do not assume I am some lover of Bush, just because I find the current dolt an abject failure. It has taken both bought and paid for parties to get to this point, but Obama has hit hyperspeed in his lack of understanding of economics, and over the top spending.

Now...please find some other partisan subject to latch on to.

I thought it was a great show. The close-ups of everyo..................oops. I was watching a replay of my colonoscopy I had yesterday. Believe me, there was more shit at that speech than there was in me. Glad I missed it. LOL

Cheers on that, Montana. This guy is so full of shit, and has broken just about every promise he mad during the campaign. Claims of transparency? 72 hours to let the public and opposition read bills? Showing his "legislative" process on C-span?? Not one of them fulfilled....and we are to believe his lying, backwards ass now??

Fuck him, and the media who never saw a question they couldn't help but refuse to ask of this dunce!

And, Mass....if the Reps fuck up as bad as this guy....if they REFUSE to lead and make the tough choices...I will be just as hardon them. This is a time for leadership, and the making of difficult, life altering decisions....or we are done as the America we grew up in.

In that case, a House that fights every spending measure it faces will help lower spending, so I agree with you there. I don't necessarily think that blindly fighting everything is great for the future of the country, but I guess that's another issue entirely (although it is the reason I responded rather harshly to what seemed like praise of the GOP led House).

Zero2Cool (12h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (15h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (15h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (17h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (17h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (17h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (17h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (17h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (17h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (17h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (17h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (17h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (17h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (17h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (17h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (19h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
