The problem is that republicans are better at math.

First off, where do you think that 30 billion comes from? The tooth fairy? No, it comes from the small fraction of Americans who actually pay taxes and aren't a bunch of looting freeloaders. Coincidentally, most small businesses and small business owners are the very same TAX PAYERS who are bankrolling this bullshit. You don't need to be a genius to figure out that voting to steal 30 billion from people so you can give a little of it back to them is a bad deal.

Finally, if you divide 30 billion by 700,000, Uncle Sam is proposing to spend about 42k/year for each of those jobs it will somehow create.

As you know, that's about $21/hr if you're talking 40 hr weeks an 50 week years (2000 hrs/yr).

What do you want to bet that if any jobs are created at all, they wont be paying anywhere near 21/hr ?

The government needs to stop fucking with the economy. Everytime it does, it is a complete failure, with all kinds of bad side effects. Nobody in DC is smart enough to run the economy; read up on the Calculation Problem on Wikipedia. But don't take my word for it -- just look at the track record of these assholes.

Your math is assuming that every dollar spent goes directly to labor and labor only. That would be completely ridiculous. I sure hope that you don't consider yourself a "better at math" Republican.

So what's your solution to the economy? Let's see a full plan of action.

Sorry, the Dems have a supermajority. The Repubs can't shoot down anything.

The Republicans just call everything that Democrats pass "socialist" and "job killing" and hope that the American people are dumb enough to believe it. For a party that apparently cares so much about small businesses, only two voted for a bill that would extend some $30 billion in loans to small businesses to potentially help create an estimated 500,000 to 700,000 jobs.

Lets get a group buy started.

New flag campaign?

No one wants or needs a precision jazz bass? I find that hard to believe...

I don't think you're going to be able to sell an older used Mexi for $500. I got my Jazz used in mint condition for $240.

Buy just the aquarium with the fish. No extras - $40.

Exactly, Libertarians are pretty much the only "people" who make the most sense. It would be interesting to see what a larger majority or even larger minority of TRUE libertarians would do for this country if they were in positions of power. A libertarian in power is kind of an oxymoron though it sort of seems like, someone who believes Government should have extremely limited power trying to get into that position of power.

Except the fact that it would take nothing short of a miracle AND the second coming of Jesus for the Libertarian party to take any sort of majority in any branch of government. We're all stuck with either Republicans or Democrats. Neither party will every keep 100% of its promises, so a person is forced to make a decision based on which party they think will screw shit up less. I don't necessarily support or endorse 100% of the Democrats' ideas, but I personally believe that they are better than any realistic alternative.

I still think it's funny that there are some Democrats that are angry at Obama because he takes too many Republican ideas and puts them into his proposals, and Republicans still essentially refuse to vote for any bill that was put forth by a Democrat, even though many of the ideas were from Republican bills.

Regardless of what happens over the next 2 years, I cannot support a party that goes so far as to vote against legislation that would disallow corporations to put wording into job contracts that deny employees the right to press rape charges against other employees. Or a party that votes against a bill that would make it easier for native tribunal courts to prosecute non-native rapists. Or a party that votes against giving 9/11 responders healthcare benefits, not because they didn't agree with it, but because they were against the way it was being voted on. The list goes on and on. They didn't get the nickname, "The party of 'no', " for no reason. Over the last 2 years, Republicans have shown how self-centered they are, and how little they care about actually trying to change things for the better.

Someone prove me wrong. Please. I really want to believe that there is some small shred of decency left on the right.

/drunk rant.

Don't count on it.

When I saw the title and the thread starter, I thought it was going to be in the Wanted Ads section.

Uh oh. You don't mess with the godfather.

I'm not really expecting this to sell here but I'll give it a shot. It's a 55 gallon aquarium (48 1/4" x 12 3/4" x 21"). I bought the tank with a broken brace on top, but it was replaced so it can hold a full tank of water. Comes with a screen top, lights, and 2 filters:

Fluval 205 canister filter - good for up to 40 gallons - 180 gallons per hour

Fluval 4 Plus internal filter - good for up to 50 gallons - 260 gallons per hour

It also comes with 6 large goldfish, and I'll even throw in a 25' Python as well as whatever dechlorinator and food I have left.

$150 firm. No stand.

Not bad.

What they didn't say is that the guy ran away when the girl's flamboyantly gay brother tried to rape him back.

It's not finished yet, but it's definitely worth the read.

That's fucked up in a truly epic way.

Skaff in Moorhead is horseshit, though Skaff in Fargo used to be the opposite. If you were looking for a place in Fargo I might have been able to point you in the right direction.

This. You can get refurb'd netbooks for under $200 or a brand new 10.1" one for like $300. Check the one day/one deal sites.

I'm 6'2" 180 lbs, I doubt you can out run me lol... Out bench sure, pull-ups? prolly not...

See, all I did was make up some crap that probably wasn't true, and you responded... Just like they did to me.

Guess you're just like me huh?

This forum is so helpful, it's not like I came in here looking for a fight. You're supposed to moderate fairly, who the heck uses a vendor for a moderator anyway???

Also, why ban me, block my IP, and then unblock my username. I'm using the same computer you blocked, guess that worked out pretty well for you lolz...

I love how you say this site is so terribad and then you come back as soon as you're unbanned and QQ more.

At least sometimes it's mildly entertaining.

Looks slow. I'll race you on my bicycle.

Probably one of the greatest videos ever made.
