  Fri Oct 23, 2009
  • We all will benefit from an overall of this wasteful yet absolutely necessary industry so each of the groups involved in providing and/or receiving benefits must pay the price.  I would also like to add one more group to your list:  lawyers and some common sense approach to the limitations …

• Should the U.S. send more troops to Afghanistan?

  Mon Aug 31, 2009
  • If you look at the history of Afghanistan, no one has been able to defeat and hang on to this land, going all the way back to Alexander the Great through the Soviet Union's decision nearly 20 years ago to just throw in the towel and go home.  There is nothing whatsoever to be gained by thinking …

• Should the White House allow access to its visitors' log?

  Tue Jun 16, 2009
  • I do believe it would be much more informative to the voters to have a log of all the people who visit their congressmen and senators.  Most guests to the White House are known to the public via the media and I rather doubt the present occupant has the time to listen to lobbyists. 

• Should insurance giant AIG, which has received $170 billion in aid from the federal government, dole out tens of millions of dollars in bonuses to employees?

  • One of the most disgusting things ever done by a corporation. I'm getting in the mood for a bit of socialism here. If Harry the hamburger man can't meet his bills, he goes broke and no one other than his family cares. They just have to suffer while these criminals go to Aruba for the holidays.

• How will history treat George W. Bush?

  Thu Jan 15, 2009
  • Sorry, you Bush lovers,  but Bill Clinton's budget for the last two years in office were running surpluses.  He handed over a strong military, a strong economy, and most judge him on one thing--Monica.  Having traveled extensively over the past 9 years, I hear everywhere …

• Foreigners gave millions to Clinton foundation

  Thu Dec 18, 2008
  • Nothing wrong at all for Clinton to hit up the Saudis for his charitable foundation.  The history of the Bushes and the Saudi royal family goes back a long, long time and the Bushes were not donating the money to anyone except one of their local banks.  This has been investigated …

• How confident are you that the financial bailout package passed by Congress will ease the economic crisis?

  Fri Oct 3, 2008
  • Much of the money doled out to date has gone to bank executives for back pay, bonuses and other fringe benefits.  Unbelievable, altho guess it is not.  Been going on for years.  Any executive pay should be decided upon the profits or losses of the stock as a whole, with …
