bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Feb 10

Senator Bayh said he is leaving the Senate because of the Gridlock. Do you think Gridlock is good or bad?

ATrain I suppose gridlock in the Senate is good when everyone in Congress is proposing new spending legislation. Our national debt is already reaching dangerous levels (close to 100% of our GDP) and is skyrocketing. What I fear most is that when all of the current...

TARP money What should be done with it?

bobmnu @bobmnu (8157) • United States 22 Feb 10

Several Banks have started to pay back the TARP funds. According to the TARP law the money should go to reduce the National Debt. Now some in Washington DC feel that this money should be used to start new government programs? What...

ATrain I agree how about we pay off some of the debt with it like it was intended. After all some of that debt is from the TARP program itself. I think if it pays itself back then it's not such a bad deal. TARP was just a last ditch effort by the Bush...

ATrain He does love the US of course, and he is trying to do positive things. However, he is inexperienced. That is the main reason why he is not doing a good job right now.

ATrain Well he died of a drug overdose but no one knows if it was an accident or suicide. It's really impossible to tell.

ATrain I think that that is a serious problem if he would do something like that just to play video games. He might just have an addiction to video games I'm sorry to say. Perhaps you should do some online research to get a better idea.

Computers you either love them or you hate them!

free_man @free_man (7330) • United States 21 Feb 10

I consider myself a computer geek you could say. I am one that loves the hectic way they keep me on top of myself. I like the ins and outs of the regestry hacks and all the system hacks you can do. I look it up on the net to see...

ATrain I think computers are great, they expand possibilities on many fronts of your life. For someone like me who is obviously a computer user but does not know exactly the ins and outs it can be frustrating when you are having problems, however.

If Tripp Palin receives Socialized Medicine, why is it so evil??

Wendy @jerzgirl (9384) • United States 21 Feb 10

Sarah Palin has railed against any form of Socialized Medicine. Ill-informed citizens have carried placards saying "Keep the government's hands off my Medicare" - never once realizing that Medicare IS socialized medical care!...

ATrain Yes she is very loudly against "socialized medicine" however I suppose she does voice her support for privatizing social security. I don't think anyone could turn down medical coverage if they really needed it, and I doubt many people would be willing to even...

ATrain I'm a Taurus. If I could have things my way, I would want everyone to get along and be tolerant, and I would try to tolerate hypocrites and crazy whackjobs. That would be my role, I guess.

Do you prefer an incapable honest politician or a very smart but dishonest one?

ra1787 @ra1787 (501) • Italy 21 Feb 10

I was thinking about this issue today.. there are many politicians that are very intelligent and capable but are really dishonest and tend to be corrupted and put their interest before those of the country they should be...

ATrain I don't think I would want to have either, but I would probably go with the honest idiot because at least that guy wouldn't have any chance of steering my country in a bad direction to suit his own agenda

ATrain I try not to pig out when I drink soda, but one time I drank 2 liters because I won it at church, and I didn't want to drag it home. I was not feeling well after that.

ATrain I'm a native English speaker but I think that's like comparing apples to oranges. I guess it could be helpful if for no other reason than that college graduates in almost all countries learn it to some degree.

ATrain There is a website called www.ontheissues.org that will summarize what a politicians stance and voting records are. He is libertarian, which means he believes for the most part in free trade and less involved government. Especially in foreign policy he is very...

Does Anyone Travel By Train Any More?

ClassyCat @ClassyCat (1214) • United States 20 Feb 10

I'm wondering if anyone travels by train any more for a vacation. I'd like to find a place somewhere where I could take a train trip to a place near the ocean. Any ideas? Have you taken a train on a vacation within the past...

USA Is Not Much Better Than Greece

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 20 Feb 10

We have or at lest should have read that Greece is in deep trouble, and Spain is not to far from joining Greece. Problem is USA and Spain are in the same boat behind Greece. Greece is running a deficit of 12.7% of their annual...

ATrain Yes many developed countries' governments have a significant deficit. And I believe that we are worse off than Spain because their debt (not deficit) is only about 60% or so of our total GDP as of 2009, whereas ours is around 90% according to CIA world Fact...

other than online- what did you read today?

macdingolinger @macdingolinger (10385) • United States 20 Feb 10

I just realized how much I have read today in little snippets! I read Proverbs 10, a short story in a Reader's Digest, my family history (one of them) and now I'm sitting down with a cup of coffee to work on a book I started not...

ATrain I think nowadays people read increasingly online. However, I think people always have read more in snippets rather than sitting down and reading for a long period of time, like several hours. Most people don't seem to like to do that.

Government Does No Provide Anything

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 20 Feb 10

Government is just a term that describes a group of people, just like a corporation, union, or church. Government just like any other title of group does not exist only the people that form the group exist. So when you hear of...

government

groups

just people

3 responses

ATrain I disagree, government provides security, safety, and hopefully assurance that your rights are protected. It is to give us these intangible things that are the most important functions of government. Now, government isn't a physical entity, obviously. It is...

ATrain T-mobile is cheaper I guess, but AT&T has the best coverage of any carrier in my area. If you drop you phone a lot like me though, you may have to buy a new phone or get a new 2-year contract every year and a half or so.
