Hahaha Boehner or “Boner” I’m thinkin you can call us unemployed whatever but you nothing but a joke you drunk…yeah keep trying to convince your followers that your slurring crying ranting antics coming from someone who is sober…LOL You will be seen for the drunkin alcoholic who you really are. Have ya gone to AA???? Oh yeah probably not since you gotta pay that outa pocket….
Wow… question for his guy. If a congressperson has a “staff” what political party do you think this staff represents? Same as the congressperson of course, they dictate their votes! Even if they did have a staff, the bill wasnt a novel, it was an 1100 pg behemoth of complex legal language. “should every member of congress read every page…no…” REALLY? That’s how democrats missed the $6 billion that went to NON-EXISTENT DISTRICTS. If they didnt read the bill they should have voted no!
To say that he has not read the bill is proof that he is not interested in a bipartisan effort. AND if he has not read it, how does he know that a republican plan (which I don’t believe they have) is better?
@MCLOVIN50 No no no no no. The housing market crashed because the federal government forced banks to give loans to people who couldn’t pay them back. The same exact thing is about to happen with higher education. There’s already a whole lot of regulation that the government doesn’t enforce, anyways (a la BP oil leak), and the solution is more? You seem to forget we have a legal system that puts the greedy people in check in case they make bad products or disregard their employees’ human rights.
@ThesisOfRock WIthout some form of Government we would be a 3rd world Country full of rampage.
Regulation also helps prevent economic disasters like the one in september 08.
DEREGULATION is a VERY short term solution. Just look at the housing market. The housing market was deregulated, many people took advantage, and eventually the bubble popped.
There’s too many greedy people out there to deregulate anything, so there has to be some form of regulation.
@MCLOVIN50 We’ve been “needing” a government for the past century, and look what we’ve got. What we really need the government to do is to stay out of the markets. Stop passing ridiculous regulations that only serve as barriers for competition against corporations.
@MCLOVIN50 Well, in a good system NOBODY should be in charge. The richest 1%, usually, have earned their way into the upper class through large economic risk. Many of the CEOs today are first-time CEOs, for example, and probably pulled out huge amounts in loans. But instead of using the loans to spend, these soon-to-be CEOs invested in them. There are huge, huge economic risks to take as a CEO, and if they fail because of bad goods and services…well, too bad.
@ThesisOfRock I’m not that anti-capitalist, It’s actually a good system depending on who’s in charge.
I was just pointing out that it isn’t right that a CEO can make millions of dollars a year, while some of their workers could be struggling to pay bills or put food on the table.
I just don’t think it’s right that the richest 1% own 90% America’s wealth. What about the other 99% of the Country??
@MCLOVIN50 Well, most liberal arts degrees, quite frankly, are pretty useless since everybody in university has to take some (not all) liberal arts courses anyways. For example, everything a literature major so-called specializes in, most employers these days expect anyone to be able to do. Plus their uselessness is magnetized in a slumping economy. I’d say anything in the hard sciences, computer sciences, or health care field would be your best bet.
@MCLOVIN50 Please, spare me the CEO semantics; they’re the talking points of anti-capitalists that don’t really prove anything (do you know free-market capitalism hasn’t truly existed since at least 1914 in America?). In a truly free-market capitalist economy, companies will compete not only over products, but over employees. Which company do you think won’t go bankrupt, the one who treats its employees greatly or the one that doesn’t? Knowledge and power would be returned to the employee.
@ThesisOfRock Scholarships are GREAT, but not everyone can get a full scholarship, even with some scholarships your still left with a bill, but less than what you would have originally owed.
Secure jobs for a degree in women’s studies and literature? I’m sure there’s plenty of jobs pertaining to the study of literature, but I know nothing of women’s studies so I couldn’t comment on that. Sure, there’s quite a few majors that don’t have good job security.
@ThesisOfRock I totally agree with you, the cost of living should go down, especially in New Jersey!
No, there needs to be a standard wage, because there’s A LOT of cheap employers out there, and I know from personal experience! I’m not saying all big companies are bad, there are good ones, but there are also a lot that do a horrible job taking care of their employees.
Do you know the average CEO makes over 19X of their average employee?
The top 1% of America owns about 90% of the wealth.
@MCLOVIN50 But if the cost of living goes down, people who couldn’t afford anything with a minimum wage before could be able to. Plus those with a secure career would be more compelled to buy from those companies who are royally fucking the workers, increasing profits and ultimately wages. There wouldn’t be a need to have a mandatory “wage standard” or anything; people would be naturally earning more if the tax burden wasn’t so rough on employers and employees.
@MCLOVIN50 I’m saying scholarships are a (far) better alternative than loans. You may not have a job immediately after you’re out of school, but you won’t have a debt to deal with. And anyone can get a scholarship, c’mon. They have scholarships based on your income level, skin color, etc.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought you were talking about career jobs after students have graduated. What secure career calls for a degree in women’s studies or literature?
@ThesisOfRock Of course it would be wiser to look into scholarships, but even so not everyone can get a scholarship.
Just because a student didn’t get a scholarship doesn’t justify why they can’t get a job because companies aren’t hiring.
And you have to remember that not all places are hiring minimum wage jobs, that’s only in some areas. I’m not even in college, so my studies would have NOTHING to do with finding a local job..moron.
It’s a FACT that not many places are hiring!
@ThesisOfRock A “real” job is a job that pays enough to either support yourself or a family. Working at pizza hut or mcdonalds isn’t a real job.
I agree, the cost of living should be lowered, but there are some jobs that deserve a higher pay. While the cost of living increases, the average middle class family salary increase is flat, and it’s been like that for years. While the Rich get to increase their salary (like CEOs) the workers once again get royally fucked with the same flat wage.
@MCLOVIN50 Uh, you know these very intelligent kids could have gotten scholarships during their education, right? Huge amounts of scholarships go to waste each year because almost nobody takes advantage of them. As far as the loans go, are they lazy? No. Stupid? Maybe. If you’re going to pull out $100,000 in loans, you should really, really consider what you’re studying. If it’s in some bogus major like women’s studies, no wonder you can’t find a job.
@MCLOVIN50 What is a “real” job? People could work the “unreal” jobs while they look for “real” jobs, they’ll probably get more money that way than waiting for the check from the government. Perhaps $7.25 isn’t enough, yes. But don’t you think instead of raising the amount of money everyone gets, we should focus on lowering the cost of everything? To include the cost of labor, which is very high in this country? It’s why we’re outsourcing.
@ThesisOfRock Here’s another example. There’s so many stories of College graduates getting into debt because there’s no jobs! These very intelligent kids with high degrees aren’t able to find a job….because there’s very few jobs out there, other than minimum wage jobs! And because of that, many College Grads are unable to pay their student loans. Are you going to assume these hard working students were lazy too?
@ThesisOfRock Loool yeah maybe a few pizza places are hiring in your area (I wish that was the case for me where I live) but do you thin a minimum wage job would replace the decent jobs that these people had lost? Think about it, we need REAL jobs! You simply can’t support a family making 7.25 an hour. My dad was laid off for over 6 months, and if it wasn’t for the Union, we would’ve lost our home, NOT because my dad is lazy (he’s VERY hard working) but because working a 7.25 job isn’t enough.
In 2008, they had John McCain, Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani and Tim Pawlenty.
Now, they’ve got Herman Cain, Buddy Roemer, Gary Johnson, Fred Karger, Jimmy MicMillan and Andy Martin.
Nope, the Repubs will not win.
Hahaha Boehner or “Boner” I’m thinkin you can call us unemployed whatever but you nothing but a joke you drunk…yeah keep trying to convince your followers that your slurring crying ranting antics coming from someone who is sober…LOL You will be seen for the drunkin alcoholic who you really are. Have ya gone to AA???? Oh yeah probably not since you gotta pay that outa pocket….
LOL, they say they’re not the party of no and then every single one of them votes no!
Wow… question for his guy. If a congressperson has a “staff” what political party do you think this staff represents? Same as the congressperson of course, they dictate their votes! Even if they did have a staff, the bill wasnt a novel, it was an 1100 pg behemoth of complex legal language. “should every member of congress read every page…no…” REALLY?

To say that he has not read the bill is proof that he is not interested in a bipartisan effort. AND if he has not read it, how does he know that a republican plan (which I don’t believe they have) is better?
They voted against it because the stimulus was a bad idea.
@MCLOVIN50 No no no no no. The housing market crashed because the federal government forced banks to give loans to people who couldn’t pay them back.
