Home Depot Co-Founder Blasts Obama

<sarcasm> Thank you for adding so much to the discussion </sarcasm>

I thought I did.... The fact that you don't is sufficient for me...

Sorry jf1, but at least LJ tried to make sense out of PrintSmith's rambling denouncing of America and all it stands for. I don't take kindly to those who want to destroy what the citizens of this country have worked so hard to build and our young men and women have fought to preserve.

is trying to make sense of something?

I'm sorry, but to me it is totally disrespectful and counter to any possibility of productive dialogue.

And for the record, I totally disagree with your statement

...PrintSmith's rambling denouncing of America and all it stands for. I don't take kindly to those who want to destroy what the citizens of this country have worked so hard to build and our young men and women have fought to preserve.

Have a great evening.

It's ok to disagree jf1......we are on totally different ends of the political spectrum, I wouldn't expect us to agree on much.

I believe that the federal government, due to the size of the bureaucracy, inefficiency, lack of understanding of the needs of State and local areas, etc. is less capable of properly administering aid to those in need than are State and local government, charities, large corporations and small businesses, and individuals which are intimately familiar with the actual conditions.

Good points jf1, all of it but especially those two paragraphs. I think there is a misconception that the federal government has the size and capacity to provide welfare better than the states, but their perceived size is due to the ability to borrow unlimited money. This is about to end though.

Interesting poll. Even young hispanics get it and are much more intelligent the the few very out of touch extremist liberals on this site.

Poll: Young Latinos favor cuts in taxes and federal spending


In the April the polling Company/WomenTrend poll, Hispanic young adults said they prefer “reducing federal spending” by 69 percent, compared with 27 percent who would rather “raise taxes on individuals” in order to balance the budget, a nearly three-to-one ratio.

The majority of young Hispanics polled, 56 percent, also agreed with the statement that “if taxes on business profits were reduced, companies would be more likely to hire.”

:rofl

What would you expect when the question is asked that way? Conservatives are so fond of polls like that. The questions wasn't asked...should we cut spending and let the tax cuts expire on the wealthiest individuals..
..no they asked do you want us to cut spending or take more of YOUR money in taxes.

Conservatives cant seem to get what they want without cheating and lying. I think that has been proven here many times the last few days.

Interesting article, but basically it comes down to this. If an organization is not competitive, you do not poor money at it to pump it up artificially. Second, you certainly do not get the government involved. It's private sector and the government has NO business messing in that area. Obama and his cronies need to focus on what the Federal government is supposed to do, not what the private companies do. It is akin to me walking into your home, deciding I don't think you know how to run your household, canning the head of household for incompetence and sending in someone else of my choosing. Total BS.
