We got a stimulus.........and we are getting it in our checks every pay check. Problem is.......it amounts to 10-15 bucks a week. Which is not helping anyone. And what 90% of americans dont realize is.......they still have to pay taxes on that.....so they are going to owe MORE to the government when it comes tax time next year. So its really not helping. The real problem is.....theres a lot of good ideas out there.......but none of the congressmen/women will grow the balls and make a decision. They are all afraid of not getting elected. I think the true solution to most of America's problems is to make ALL seats in the government have a set amount of time you can be in the seat. (Term limits) These congressmen who have been at it for 30+ years, need to get the hell out of there. Republicans AND Democrats. I have been thinking about this one too.......I think ALL new houses should be heavily taxed, and you should be offered a tax cut if you move into an older house, or if you tear down an old house and build on the same lot. Theres a lot of property just sitting around the US........A LOT. I know in my town........theres at LEAST 10 brand new apartment complexes that have no one in them at all. Which is rediculous..........Thoughts?

LMAO blue.............im not that old yet bud.........jeez

what the hell fishboy? you dont think senator strom thermon at the age of 95 was very productive or up on the new times???? LMAO that was complete sarcasm by the way

i agree..............term limits would help some but they also cause a new set of issues............like we are paying for shit that bush senior did and he was only in for 8 yrs............term limits have to coinside with laws and budgets - - - any president shouldnt be allowed to set a budget up for 10-15-20 years when they no full well in 4 or 8 years another president will be sitting and change everything all over again

and these friggin AIGs and companies that we the taxpayers are bailing out showing record profeits?!?!?!?! really??? are they paying the government back? no their continuing to foreclose on people and wondering what their gonna do with their 2 million dollar bonuses - - FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how about instead of forcloseing on a house and having no money coming in you cut the interest and let us make discounted payments on the principle for a year then re-evaluate and bring the payment up a little and so on until the market is back and stable - - - they still have money coming in - -we get to keep our homes - i dont see the problem here


and on another note------ dont get all excited about the stock market going above 10,000 again - - - it hit 10k in 1999 and took until the crash last year to hit 14,000 - - we just went from 6500 to 10,000 in 6-8 months???? i dont think so...........those are inflated fake futures numbers - - THE SAME PROCESS THAT GOT US HERE PEOPLE

all i can say each night watching the news inbetween balloon boys and whose hair looks better on the red carpet is ..........


WTF ?


love you all, sorry i got off on a rant, it's all puffs fault.......lol

well.......... i havent put alot of thought into whether its true or not, i just believe that the whole world is going to go into mass panic and who knows, maybe the end of the world could be our own fault for reacting to it........ anyways....... december 21, 2012 , so my tank will be....... that is if i left it going.... 4 years and like a few months old

lmao yeah its crossed my mind. :) Its just crazy how accurate there calendar is. I guess its just the next Y2K thing. But it gives us something to talk about nontheless. Its probably just a hoax........but all im saying is......im doing anything I really want to before then, because you never know.

I'll put my two cents into this debate over government and world ending shit. First off each and every government official has a term limit, its called elections. I don't blame anyone other than the people for the mess we are in. We keep electing the same dumbass people and they keep doing the same dumbass things. I think that is the definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. As far as companies and government bailouts, I do not support them but our economy could not handle a recession and major banks, insurance, automobile manufactures failing at once. If you think our unemployment numbers are high now what do you think they would be if AIG, Bank of America, GM, and Chrysler all failed (think the Great Depression which had 33% unemployment). As far as 2012, it makes for good entertainment. I no more believe the end of the world will come because a ancient calendar systems ends then I do in UFO, year 2000 or the boogey man.

P.S. Snowboss I agree with you about reworking mortgages for people who can show they can make things work if they just got a break for a year or more.

Well the only thing is.......I cant control or vote for someone in michigan......or virgina. Maybe they think electing people over and over again is a smart idea....and if the person they are voting for is the only republican in the area voting........and they are a mostly republican voting area......obviously the guy is just going to run for re-election. Thats the reason I think there should be term limits. That being said, I think the upcoming election of senators will be an interesting one. America is PISSED and I think people will take action this year.

As far as UFO's I dont believe them either. BUT, I do NOT believe we are the only planet with life on it in the universe.... Current estimates of number of planets in our universe is around 320 sextillion planets........you cant tell me that one of them doesnt have life.....Thats if you are conservative with your numbers and assum that each star only has 3 planets. Because there are 10000000000000000000000 stars estimated in the universe. Thats 10^21. I took astronomy for two years....and just last year they found a planet about that has almost the exact elements that earth does, and its around the same distance from there (sun). Pretty sweet. Being its so far away though.......it could have already blown up and we would have no idea.

good words GDEEBER i like the thoughts and agree

I believe we are not only fish tank keepers, but fish in tanks called planets, kept by highly evolved beings with withering sex drive.

They need to keep messing around with the gene pools on these habitable planets, interbreeding, etc, to keep their small in-bred gene pools from self destructing.

We are breeding experiments, or in a sence, aquarium fish, kept by the overloards who rule the universe to propagate their agenda of intergalactic empire.

Let me guess, you are a big World of Warcraft player? It wasn't the reference to intergalactic empire or overlord that tipped me off. It was the “withering sex drive” comment. Not a lot of geeks getting nooky unless your name is Bill Gates. Go figure.
