|Onshore energetics in penguins: Theory, estimation and ecological implications.
|L.G. Halsey1C.R. White1A. Fahlman2Y. Handrich3P.J. Butler1
|Penguins are known to have high pedestrian locomotory costs in comparison to other cursorial birds, but the ecological consequences of this difference have received limited attention. Here we present a method for the accurate estimation of onshore energetics based on measurements of body mass, simple morphometrics and distance moved. The method is shown to be similarly accurate to other field-based estimates of energy expenditure, but has the advantage of logistical simplicity. King penguins spend 30-50% of their time ashore and may walk distances of several kilometres to and from their breeding colonies. However, in such cases the total energetic cost of pedestrian locomotion is estimated to be only 1.0% of the energy expended whilst ashore. Thus, despite a high instantaneous cost, pedestrian locomotion is a small and possibly negligible component of total energy turnover in king penguins.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Cool. I've read all the other WC books and they've been pretty good, especially the Knaak ones.
I think it's a good idea that they're going back to key times in Warcraft history and writing books about them. It's rather difficult and impractical for me to go back and play through WC1 and WC2/WC2X again if I want to go through the storyline again, so it's nice to have a book to just pick up and read.
From the description there, this book is probably just about WC2 and not the expansion. Hopefully they'll also publish a Beyond the Dark Portal book. And I'd love to read a WC1 book, since I didn't get hooked on the series until WC2.
The nice thing about these books is that they can consolodate the old and new lore, since there's a lot of stuff that they didn't even think of when they first created the RTS games.

Ranked first going into the state tournament, Norton fell just short of its goal to win a state title, and finished second out of 54 teams in the D-3 State Tournament at Taconic High School in Pittsfield on Saturday. Western Massachusetts powerhouse Hampshire Regional High School finished first.
It had been a tough week with illness and injuries for the Lancers. Senior co-captain and two-time defending state champion Brett Gallagher (120 lbs) suffered a bad knee sprain in practice on Tuesday. He soldiered on winning his first match but had to default in the quarter finals and was out of the tournament. Had he been healthy, he may have made it to the finals and earned enough points for Norton to win the team title. In addition to his two state titles, Callagher has won two sectional championships and has 121 career wins.
Scott Coleman (145), also a senior co-captain, endured a relapse of pneumonia after last week's sectional tournament and was a questionable entry at states. Despite having no practices all week, he managed to pin his first two opponents, win a close match against the North sectional champion in the semi-finals and then defeat the number one ranked wrestler at his weight in the state 6-1 in the finals, joining Gallagher as Norton's second state champion. Coleman has won three sectional championships ("Outstanding Wrestler" in 2010) and holds the school record for most career wins with 144.
Senior co-captain John Royle (138), "Outstanding Wrestler" award winner at sectionals last week, lost a hard-fought 5-4 decision in the finals to finish in second place. Royle is a two-time sectional champion, a two-time state runner-up and has 92 career wins in just three seasons.
Senior Cam Hale (132) finished third, battling his way back with five straight victories in consolation after taking a 6-4 loss in the opening round to the eventual champion and tournament "Outstanding Wrestler." Hale finished sixth at states last year and was runner-up at sectionals this year. At states he avenged his loss in the sectional finals. Hale has 40 wins this season, the most on the team.
Junior Steve Hudson (220), despite a sprained shoulder, also finished in third place. He was a runner-up at sectionals last week. Hudson has 30 pins this season, the most on the team.
Junior Jack Cuneo (170), also a runner-up at sectionals, fought his way to sixth place and along with Coleman, Royle, Hale and Hudson, has qualified to compete in the All-State tournament in two weeks. Cuneo has 37 wins so far this season.
Seniors John Norton and Matt Pelletier wrestled tough but did not place. Pelletier injured his knee and had to default out of the tournament. Both Norton and Pelletier have 29 wins this season.
The Lancers will travel to Lowell next Sunday to compete in the D-3 State dual meet tournament where they are seeded number 1 against a strong field.
Norton Wrestling Finishes Second in State Tournament

A Treacherous Paradiseby Henning Mankell
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
From the internationally acclaimed author of the Kurt Wallander crime novels, a powerful stand-alone novel set in early-twentieth-century Sweden and Mozambique, whose vividly drawn female protagonist is awoken from her naïveté by her exposure to racism and by her own unexpected inner strengths.
Cold and poverty define Hanna Renström's childhood in remote northern Sweden, and in 1904, at nineteen, she boards a ship for Australia in hope of a better life. But none of her hopes — or fears — prepares her for the life she will lead. After two brief marriages both leave her widowed, she finds herself the owner of a bordello in Portuguese East Africa, a world where colonialism and white colonists rule, where she is isolated within white society by her profession and her gender, and, among the bordello's black prostitutes, by her color. As Hanna's story unfurls over the next several years in this "treacherous paradise," she wrestles with a devastating loneliness and with the racism she's meant to unthinkingly adopt. And as her life becomes increasingly intertwined with the prostitutes', she moves inexorably toward the moment when she will make a decision that defies all the expectations society has of her and, more important, those she has of herself.
Gripping in its drama, evocative and searing in its portrait of colonial Africa, A Treacherous Paradise is, at its heart, a deeply moving story of a woman who manages to wrench wisdom, empathy, and grace from the most unforgiving circumstances.
About the Author

While weighing all of the options for who is going to care for your new baby after your maternity leave is over, there are plenty of important things to consider. And of course, the health, happiness, and safety of your baby are right at the top of the list, but somewhere along the line, the cost of childcare usually pops up too. (Why is it that everything always leads back to money?)
If you've been considering hiring a nanny for your newborn in lieu of using another form of day care, then you've probably figured out that in-home care can be pretty pricey. But aside from the fees that your new childcare provider will charge per week or month, you probably haven't factored in the extra taxes that you will have to pay for having her, right? Can you believe there is actually something called nanny tax?
Because it does exist. If the salary you paid your nanny is $1,700 or higher in a year (anything around that number could probably be considered highway robbery), then you have to pay nanny tax to the IRS. Great. Just one more thing for pregnant women to get all stressed out over.
But even though there may be hidden costs involved, hiring a nanny is definitely still worth every extra cent. I mean -- if you are financially secure enough to be able to afford a nanny in the first place, then the added taxes shouldn't deter you for one second. I think it's pretty safe to say that any parent would probably prefer for their newborn to be able to stay in his/her own home instead of having to pack everything up and head out of the house to day care each day. The benefits and conveniences definitely justify the cost if having your own nanny is something you have the luxury of doing.
Paying nanny taxes may not be something that has any influence on your childcare decision at all; however, it is important to at least factor in the extra costs so you don't get blindsided when you go to your tax professional after the first of the year. The less surprises after a new baby arrives, the better. Trust me.
Will the nanny tax possibly make you change your mind about hiring one?

I brought my nanny with me to the States. I pay her exactly what is outlined in the B-1 visa requirements: her plane ticket, her lodging, and State minimum wage. She has a notarized contract, and truly a godsend while I am back in the States for the delivery of my next child. To be honest, it would have been slightly cheaper to hire a nanny for the 14 weeks I'm back from a service, but having her here on the weekends (and paying overtime) has truly been a blessing, especially when my oldest son had to go into the hospital this weekend.
Yeah, the cost of the plane ticket really sucked, as well as the fees for paying for her passport and visa, but she got it and she's happy to be in the States for a bit.
Not at all. I won't be hiring one, tax or not.
No need for a nanny here..not sure if I would hire one either.
No, I'd comply. It looks as though nanny tax is just the employers share of SS and medicare payments. When I worked as an independent contractor, I had to pay my own.
I don't feel the need for a nanny. Especially around here in rural America. I do have a friend who hired one due to haveing 4 children and then a set of triplets. She really NEEDED and nanny to help her with the little ones. I only have 2 children and feel I am capable of handling them by myself.

Narcolepsy is a disease which causes a disturbance in the ability to regulate sleep. There is about one new case per 100,000 of the population every year. It can lead to broken sleep at night and feeling very sleepy during the day. Other symptoms people can get include;
Back to top
Experts believe that in most people, narcolepsy is due to a reduction in a protein (hypocretin) made in the brain but they do not know what causes this reduction. The exact cause of narcolepsy is currently unknown. It is generally considered to be triggered by genetic and environmental factors including infections
Anyone with concerns about narcolepsy should speak to their GP.
Pandemrix is a vaccine against the H1N1 (2009) influenza (swine flu) virus. It was used during the H1N1 influenza pandemic to protect people from infection and complications due to the H1N1 influenza virus. Over 900,000 doses were used in Ireland.
Pandemrix has not been recommended in Ireland since January 2011. Doctors were requested to return all stocks of Pandemrix for disposal.
All medication, including vaccines, can potentially lead to adverse effects in a small number of individuals. It is not always easy to be certain of potential rare adverse effects even after a medicine has been used in very large numbers of people.
In August 2010 the European Medicines Agency began to investigate a suggested link in Finland and Sweden between the use of Pandemrix and the development of narcolepsy in young people.
Finland and Sweden have carried out studies and the results indicate a 6 to 13-fold increased risk of narcolepsy in vaccinated as compared with unvaccinated children and adolescents.The increased risk was not seen in adults (older than 20 years).
In Ireland experts are carrying out an investigation into cases of narcolepsy that developed following the use of Pandemrix in the winter of 2009/2010. So far 25 cases have been confirmed.
Worldwide as of 3rd August 2011
Yes. The seasonal flu vaccine and Pandemrix are two different vaccines. They are manufactured in completely different ways.
Seasonal flu vaccines have been given for more than 60 years to millions of people across the world. Reactions are generally mild and serious side effects are very rare.
Narcolepsy has not been reported following seasonal influenza vaccination.
Young people with at risk medical conditions should get the seasonal flu vaccine. Seasonal flu is a highly infectious viral illness of the respiratory tract that can be life threatening. The flu virus changes each year and this is why people at risk need to be vaccinated every year.

When it comes to tasting mezcal, the experts have some generally accepted rules. Chief among them is that "you should never taste more than four together," cautioned Oaxaca's Graciela Carreño of Mezcal Real Minero at the Mezcal: Mexico In a Bottle event, held at Public Works, Sept. 14. It's usually good advice: With the spirit's alcohol content regularly topping 50 percent ABV, and its flavor components so nuanced yet so varied from one bottle to the next, it can be hard to distinguish mezcal's finer points when your tastebuds are aflame with intense spice, smoke, and minerality.
But when you're staring down nearly 20 of the world's absolute best mezcal brands in one room, each of which has at least three or four different offerings on hand (if not plenty more), heeding that first caveat is a patent impossibility.

A reader writes... Q.: I've been dating this woman for two years and sometimes when we make love or when she's dreaming, she'll mumble the name of her ex-boyfriend. My name isn't much different from his — I'm Mike and his name was Mick — so I can see how there could be a mix-up, but I've mentioned this to her before and she still does it.

If your name was Mike and his name was Alouicious, it would be a problem, but given the name similarity, I wouldn't worry about it. Besides, to paraphrase Susan Sarandon's character in Bull Durham, would you rather she be making love to you and calling out his name, or making love to him and callingout yours?

I humbly submit that the ONLY way for sexual partners to get out of this mess is by practising the time-honored phrase "Oh, GOD! Oh, GOD!"
...unless one of the partners is an ardent atheist.

Those are really similar names, and you could simply be hearing the wrong one. I know pronunciation isn't exactly at the top of my list when I'm having sex. If it really bothers you, you could insist on going on a variant of your name and see if that works out after a couple weeks.
Another option; my partner had a habit of yelling for a particular religious figure in bed whom neither of us worship. While he was doing so I snapped that we weren't having threesomes and to quit inviting others in. I had to wait through almost an hour of laughter, but it mostly worked. That really depends on the humor of your partner though.

Had to pick the last one its oh so true.
But seriously, there are two ways this can go down.
One is, you being happy she is with you. Being secure enough of her affection zo not let it bother you.
The other way is, you can question the very basis of your relationship. Does her mumbling the exes name mean, she would rather be with him than with you? Does she imagine him boning her when actually you are? Is she actively trying to srew with your mind?
Yes, communication and demands are a possibility, but I rather doubt she does so consciously.

Well, everyone makes a verbal slip at some point, so that's not a big deal.
The difference comes in the timing. Making love and dreaming are to points when most of our defenses are down and our subconscious is doing a lot of the talking for us. If she's calling out someone else's name during those times, it's something to be concerned about. Obviously you are.
Now concerned is one thing itself. Again, everyone makes slips. But, you, the original poster, say you have talked to her about this; and moreover, the two of you have been together for two years now. I'd say that at this point, she should have been well past crying out someone else's name on accident or having them hanging around in her dreams, especially while in intimate situations with you.
It's decidedly a bad sign.

In Response to eoraptor (#58881):
"concerned" should not equal panicking and running in circles.
It sounds like something to talk over. How did her breakup go? Maybe she was the one who was dumped?

It could be a problem, but considering how close your names sound it's probably just the fact that she is mumbling every time she says it that makes you think she's saying his name and not yours. The whole not changing it even though you mentioned it would mean more if she had any control at all over her actions when she says it, but since she's having a good time in bed when she says it or she's sleeping, she doesn't.

In Response to Amanda (#58883):
I never really understood the calling out of names during sex... I don't think I ever have. And I think I'd be weirded out if someone called out my name in bed, because I tend not to like the sound of my own name.

Are you sure it it is her ex's name she is mumbling or calling out? There are other people besides him with the name 'Mick'. Does she have a secret crush on Mick Jagger or Mick Foley or Mick Jones...Maybe even Mickey Mouse or Mick St. John?
Instead of calling out a person's name could she be calling out a derogatory slang term for a person of Irish descent?
Something to think about is that discussing a subconscious act could make it worse. At a time when coherent thoughts are few and far between trying to think about NOT calling out a name could very easily turn into calling it out.
As for mumbling in her sleep, unless there are more details than a name, then you are filling in the blanks with your own thoughts not hers. While your thoughts could be of passionate embraces, her dreams could be of getting money back or attending his wedding when he marries a unicorn.
By the way, How often does she actually call out this name during sex? Is it happening less frequently the longer you are together?

Something to consider. Human brains are wired in such a way that the synapses will rearrange themselves to form the (generally) shortest and fastest path from stimulation to pleasure center.
For many people, hearing how much your partner is turned on is at least as stimulating as all the rest of it, yet practically speaking there's not a lot of talking going on during sex. So many people will cry out a name or phrase to help their partner (and even themselves) with the auditory stimulation.
Problem here is that if a person fixates on a particular phrase while having sex, that phrase will naturally come to be associated with one or more pleasure centers in the brain via shortest-path-first brain synapses. Do it too much, and it becomes an addiction (this is actually how most people get addicted to anything).
So here's the rub - her stimulation at one point was to use her ex's name, and now she (hopefully) ordinarily uses yours. If she was actually thinking about Mick when she originally created this shortest-path-first synapse addiction, then she shouldn't ever call out his name while having sex with you, since presumably she would be thinking about you rather than him and that should form a totally different synapse connection.
On the other hand, if she actually just used the ex's name as a general way to stimulate herself and her partner while having sex and wasn't specifically thinking about him while doing it, then the shortest-path-first synapse connection might be quite similar to the one she is using for you now - in which case it would be quite normal for her to have problems changing the phrase considering how much yours and the ex's names are alike.
So the true answer to your question is, it depends - and even she might not really know which of the above is true. The simplest way to change this behavior would be for her not to use the phrase at all, but while that might be an intellectually good answer, it is likely an instinctually difficult thing for her to accomplish since she would be effectively denying herself a form of pleasure during the very act of doing what humans generally consider most pleasurable.
The easiest way out of this then, and what I'd recommend, would be to ask her to come up with a totally new phrase or sound to cry out while having sex. Cry out the name of deity, or merely moan and scream in ecstacy, just so long as it has little to no resemblance to the ex's name. It may be a little difficult for her to use at first, but if she really enjoys sex with you it shouldn't take her more than a couple of months or so to form another synapse connection associated with sex. It won't get rid of the other one, but it should give her an alternative, which should cut down drastically on her using the ex's name during sex. And once the old phrase falls out of use that synapse connection (and her tendency to use it) should eventually disappear altogether.
As for the dream thing, like others said above, don't pay it very much attention. I love my wife, but I dreamed of my ex for years after we parted, just as I still today dream of old friends whom I haven't seen in 20 years. Being an ex doesn't mean he never meant anything to her; for a time in her life that person meant a lot to her, and it would be silly to ask her to forget about him, almost as silly as asking a widower to forget about their deceased spouse. But that doesn't mean she doesn't like or love you. You're the one she's in a relationship with now - focus on that and make the most of it!

Its kind of difficult to accept that after 2 years in a relationship she would still be calling out the ex's name. I don't know...seems like she may still have a bit of a hang up for the old flame...

I also read some about Louisa May Alcott. I have just finished reading The Inheritence, a book Alcott wrote at age 17. It was originally thought that Louisa had died of Mercury poisoning. There are now some doctors who think she may have died of Lupus although the Lupus may have been brought on by the exposure to mercury.

NEW YORK (AP) — Metro-North has added trains to accommodate the large number of morning commuters.
The railroad was running on a Saturday schedule on Friday but later added eight trains on the New Haven line to handle big crowds.
The Journal News (http://lohud.us/1lO800X ) says commuters complained on Twitter about an inadequate number of trains.
It says many riders were left waiting on platforms because trains were overcrowded.
The Long Island Rail Road is running 90 percent of its normal weekday schedule.

"is a look back, not a path forward."
"On Sunday evening, at Mr. Perry's first campaign stop in Iowa, a questioner asked the governor to talk about how he would fix the country's rickety entitlement programs. Mr. Perry shot back: "Have you read my book, 'Fed Up!' Get a copy and read it."
Which is it? A look back or a path forward or both and neither?
I get it … he is trying to say "I was so fed up with the past … that I am looking forward to continuing it"
I was against it before I was for it.
communications director: "ignore his book"
Perry: "read my book"
Social Security IS a ponzi scheme by every definition.
The problem is you just can't get a politician to tell the truth about it to save their souls.
If you back peddle this hard, can you time travel?
In regards to the economy BO now has a 26% favorability. In personal terms he is down to below 40%. I appreciate the toads of the Wire working feverishly to help BO, but it is not going to be enough. They have covered him more thoroughly in one week then they did BO is 4 years.
To Ken from Austin, TX:
Ron Paul is still willing to tell the truth about Social [in]Security.
Like Trump before him, this guy will be quietly forgotten by all those who tout him now.
things look a might different than from the comfort of Austin, (don't mess with) Texas….
The lines of voters in Texas' Post Offices returning social security checks are as short as those in blue states. I have have checked this out also: OSHA, EPA, IRS, DOE, DOT, USDA, Dept. of Interior, Dept. of Educ., will probably still be around if Perry wins. People who wear hard hats and breathe will insist.
Is his position really as hypocritical as some would like to make it? Everybody know that SS is insolvent long term. Everybody also knows that we're not just going to pull the rug out from underneath those whom are 55 or older, give or take a few years. It needs to be reformed and fixed and it cannot continue as is for too much longer.
Medicare also.
Anyone who doesnt think SS is constitutionally dubious has no idea of what the limit of federal power is as prescribed in the Constitution. Uncle Sam has overreached for a long time and hasnt always had his power checked by the courts – SS was a camel's head under the tent, a "victory" for Progressives trying to find new and ingenious ways to dole out other people's money. But reality says you cant just grab the camel by the tail and yank it out from the tent without causing a real problem for the tent itself.
This is exactly the reason we need to guard against future abuses of central government – perfect example, Obamacare! It is simply beyond the powers of the federal government. But, the democrats deemed it law, and if the people dont take their rightful place as drivers of this country, then it may come to pass that yet another unconstitutional thing stays in the books of law, and everyone comes to rely on it – we dont want some years down the road everyone saying "cripes, we cant afford this!" and have other say "yes, but this is our RIGHT to have!"
In which case you can slap them down with Walter E Williams, what is a right? But at that point you are dealing with an entrenched entitlement program….sorta like we are dealing with overbloated entitlements already.
Stop the insanity that is Progressivism!
Some "Christians" we have out there ………. it's all just me, me, me these days.
I wonder if he can say "Nuclear"?
The American people are looking for someone who lives in reality and is a truth teller because that's the only way that the significant problems this country faces can be solved. It appears that the only science that Mitt Romney believes in is the science of polling, and that science clearly was not a mandatory course for Governor Perry."
No matter what one thinks about the President or his policies, or about Social Security and its pluses, minuses, or constitutionality its really quite irrelevant to the topic of this article. What is clear from this article is how hollow most politicians beliefs and principals are – and Gov. Perry is no exception. His book was published LAST FALL, and already he's flopped on the issue. Its easy to throw rocks at glass houses and rail against the system, when you're sitting outisde; but when you all of a sudden are trying to get a seat in the that house its a whole different ball game. The only think incredible about Perry is the speed of his flip flopping. It makes ones head spin. He's just another hypocrite. Say what you will about Ron Paul, but at least he's been consistant.
Suggestion to voters who meet Perry in person: be sure to count your fingers after you shake hands with him.
count your fingers and take a shower!
"Anyone who doesnt think SS is constitutionally dubious has no idea of what the limit of federal power is as prescribed in the Constitution."
Ummm… The US Constitution literally says that Congress has the duty to "promote the general welfare." So, I'm not sure which Constitution you're reading.
The reason nobody paid attention when Mr.Paul talks about the Fed is that we expect it from him. Up until this point, Perry appeared to be sane.

If Romney is a better flip-flopper that Perry at least go for the real thing.
"If Romney is a better flip-flopper that Perry at least go for the real thing"
Well said… NOT!
WHY are we even CONSIDERING or TALKING about this Perry fellow?
Honestly, the guy barely graduated from HIGH SCHOOL!
He is simply a lighter shade of Obama…
Once again, Obama is living proof that it's better to be lucky than good. First, it was Romney, then Bachmann, Paul, Pawlenty and the rest of the GOP presidential wannabes. Now, it's Rick (he of the good hair) Perry. Hypocrite that he is, Perry thinks Texas might like to secede from the union, although the last time Texas tried that it didn't end at all well for Texas. Perry will provide much blunder and bluster until his campaign simply implodes over its lack of substance. Perry is like all the other Republican wannabes in one respect: he cannot articulate any vision for the United States or tell us what he would do if lightning were to strike and he magically became President. America needs and deserves better. That leaves Obama, who is at least articulate.
President Obama's re-election will certainly be compromised if the economy continues failing to produce jobs. The electorate, not just cultural conservatives, will reject him and replace him with another Texan, for the Republicans have found their successor to Ronald Reagan, J.R. Perry, the man with the plan.
Perry is obviously a dishonest hack.
"President Obama's re-election will certainly be compromised if the economy continues failing to produce jobs."
Unemployment is at almost 10% and Obama is still beating all GOP frontrunners head-to-head in every poll to date. Don't count your chickens.
Surprise surprise. One opinion sells books, another opinion buys votes.
He can run but he can't hide.
In the last election, it was clear to me from the statrt that whoever won the Democratic nomination would be elected president. Bush was perceived as having run the country so badly into the ground that no Republican had a chance. We may see a reverse of this in 2012. Obama will be tagged with blame for an economy in free fall, and whoever gets the Republican nomination will be elected president. I do not say this is fair or even rational. I think Obama inherited an unbelievable structural mess that will require years and lots of luck to repair, regardless of who is president. But I would not be surprised to see things work out this way.
This is a very unsettling thought for me because, with the exception of Rommney, I regard the entire field of Republican candidates as seriously frightening — shallow, uninformed people who will cater to the crackpot right Tea Party to the serious detriment of the nation. As a lifelong independent who has always ended up voting Republican, I now find myself almost certain to vote for Obama — not because I think there aren't many Americans who could do as well or better as president, but because I expect the eventual Republican nominee will not be one of them.
Send Perry back to the cotton farm, he can drive a small tractor.
I'm starting a gaffe spreadsheet to see how many hits Perry will have before dropping out.
When Jesus returns and the Jewish people accept HIM, there will be no need to quibble about these technicalities and President Peckerwood can contemplate more important questions like how many angels and fit on the head of a pin
He will be haunted by at least 3 of the ghosts of his past before the midnight of him dropping out of the election. This is a one-moment wonder. As soon as people realize that he is as full of bull as Texas is longhorns they will drop him like a bad habit and move on to other candidates who have much more substance above their necks than just good hair.
This man is all gas and black oil–just like the state from which he hails. I can't wait till the media collectively sees the back side of this man as he walks the long, lonely journey back to Texas where he should be banished forever.
Well, Governor, you're just finding that it's not so much fun blowing smoke out your butt when people can actually challenge you on the dumb things you say and the dumb things you claim to believe.
I predict that this man will be the Republican nominee. What a fright he is. I will try to find a copy of Fed Up to
acquaint myself with the rest of his analysis of the Constitution. Is anyone but me worried about the major swings that our electorate has gone through in the past few years?
Talk of QE3 is reason for insanity. GET the government off our backs, out of our wallets, and see what happens. TO be sure: MORE government interventions, manipulation, and take over are NOT the answer. The free market enterprise system MUST be allowed to work. It THE government continues to change the rules significantly well no longer be known as a free market system. Now that is scary.
"Social Security IS a ponzi scheme by every definition." … By definition it is NOT an investment scheme so it cannot be definition be a Ponzi scheme, it is structured more like insurance … and if it would have been run like such, rather than gutless politicians, over the years it would have been modified to reflect changing conditions — retirement age would have been raised as life expectancy grew longer, and so on.
hey mike … maybe the government should not have done diddle back in 2009. how much of the free market you think would have been left by April 2009?
out of the current field, Perry or Romney look to be the near even bets in the horse race. Perry will need to dress himself up for the big show. if he can't, they'll be wishing they picked Romney. all assuming no other dark horse enters. but then Republicans could pick Bachmann or Paul and hand the election to Obama.
Perry was a Democrat before he was a Republican.
Check his birth certificate. The original likely reads
"Richard Albert PerryGore III"
You were just reelected. When you finish out this term, it'll be 14 years as governor of Texas—an all-time record. Given that there are no term limits in the Lone Star state, are you planning to stay on and run again?
To look past this term, the next four years, is way down the road. To say "here's what I'm going to be doing in 2014" is a bit of stretch.
But you've said that you've got the best job in the country…
I do.
… and that you have no interest in running president. Still the case?
Not going to run for president. Not going to be a vice-presidential candidate. Not going to be in anybody's cabinet. And I suspect I'm not going to be anybody's ambassador either.
Why shouldn't Rick Perry's Islamic ties be vetted?
Perry and Grover Norquist held a joint press conference in March 2011. Perry appeared at a fund-raiser for Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform group. Also, Norquist actively campaigned for Perry back in 2009. Their association is longstanding.
Norquist is also the co-founder of the Islamic Free Market Institute.
In 2010, Norquist, whose wife was born into a Muslim family, emerged as the most outspoken Republican foe of politicizing the mosque-in-Manhattan issue, saying:
"This is a distraction from a winning game plan… It is very stupid, when Republicans are poised to win an overwhelming victory in November over Democratic spending, to focus attention on this issue."
I guess he never heard the expression, "PAST IS PROLOGUE!".
The Breakfast of Politicians:
A waffle.
So Perry has flipped flopped on Social Security, flip flopped on Medicare, flip flopped on secession, flip flopped on the Lawrence v Texas decision…
Yes, the Republicans need a strong candidate who does not waffle on positions. However that candidate's name isn't Rick Perry.
Perry said not long ago: "Not going to run for president. Not going to be a vice-presidential candidate. Not going to be in anybody's cabinet. And I suspect I'm not going to be anybody's ambassador either."
Wether a Flip flop or a desperate call for attention, the guy cannot be trusted,
"Ummm… The US Constitution literally says that Congress has the duty to "promote the general welfare." So, I'm not sure which Constitution you're reading."
That's a great interpretation – until you realize that view is what got us in this mess to begin with. By that rationale, the government should be able to do anything, make us do anything it wishes, because hey, its all to promote our general welfare, right?
Obamacare…well, that's just promoting general welfare, not THE general welfare!
They wanted all farm owners to have CDLs, FFS…yeah, that's "for our general welfare"
Community Reinvestment Act – who cares what its going to do in the long run, it'll "help" now, and its providing general welfare!
Loose interpretations sink founding documents. Your interpretations merely give the government carte blance to do whatever they please, ask of us anything with next to no limit.
There's a difference between promoting general welfare and attempting to guarantee everyone's well being. A lot of people might take a look at that statement and dismiss it with the comment of "no difference." You seem to be one of them. People like you are the enablers of tyranny, pull your head out of wherever its stuck.
Call it by its full name.
Social Security INSURANCE…It's not a Ponzi Scheme….it's insurance.
Social Security Insurance operates just like your health insurance, home insurance and your car insurance.
It's not a right and individuals who pay into it are not entitled to the benefits.
If you start tearing apart the way Social Security Insurance works, then you need to scrutinize the way any insurance works.
Make Sense?
Anon: 10:42 8-19:
If Social Security is insurance, then where are the reserves?
Insurer reserves are liquidated to pay benefits.
To liquidate SS's reserves, to tap the trust fund, new money must be raised, as if the trust fund did not exist.
The current year's benefits for SS is a right.
Beyond that, the government does not consider future SS or Medicare benefits even as a liability.
Don Levit
Mr. Sullivan can spin Mr. Perry's words and ideas all he wants; a leopard does not change his spots!
Someone described Mr. Perry as, "Bull Connors with a smile." I also describe him as "Tricky Dick." Don't trust him and will never trust him!
Unlike a typical private pension plan, the Social Security Trust Fund does not hold any marketable assets to secure workers' paid-in contributions. Instead, it holds non-negotiable United States Treasury bonds and U.S. securities backed "by the full faith and credit of the government".
The assets of the Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance Trust Funds represent the the accumulation over time of the difference between income and outgo. The growth of the assets from the end of December 1986 through the end of December 2010 is about $2.6 Trillion.
I'm not saying it's solvent, but the Social Security Insurance issue is more complicated than what half-wit Perry's or any of the 'Math-Is-Hard' -TEA Party candidates' gross over simplifications.
By John M. Bachar, Jr., Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, CSULB
July 2011
An analysis of the Social Security retirement system (official name: OASDI Trust Fund – Old-age and Survivors Insurance and Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund), not to be found anywhere else, for the 16 year period, 1993 through 2008, shows the following:
1. Easy structural changes can be made to the OASDI taxation system that will easily provide for sufficient annual contributions and Trust Fund assets growth to take care of the retirement needs of the increasingly aging population into perpetuity.
2. These changes will replace the existing 73-year old regressive OASDI taxation system (only salaries/wages are taxed below a certain amount called the "cap") by a progressive one. This means all income, not merely salaries/wages, will be taxed at a rate that increases with increasing income.
3. With the adoption of this new OASDI taxation system, retirement benefits will not need to be reduced (in fact, they may be increased) and the retirement age will not need to be reduced (in fact, they may be decreased).
**The complete analysis may be found in absentlinks.com by clicking on:
However, for those who may not wish to read the complete analysis, including the complete analytical tables, please read the following discourse.
The Social Security System, since its inception by Franklin D. Roosevelt 73 years ago, is the most successful government program in US history and has successfully provided a financial safety net for citizens after they retire from the work force. For recent decades, this safety net has become the dominant retirement pension system for an overwhelming number of elderly persons. From a study by the Investment Company Institute (ICI):
Ongoing Role of Social Security in Retirement
Since 1975, there has been little change in the importance of Social Security benefits in providing retiree income: Social Security benefits continue to serve as the foundation for retirement security in the U.S. and represent the largest component of retiree income and the predominant income source for lower-income retirees. In 2009, Social Security benefits were 58 percent of total retiree income and more than 85 percent of income for retirees in the lowest 40 percent of the income distribution. Even for retirees in the highest income quintile, Social Security benefits represented more than one-third of income in 2009.
As of June 30, 2011, 54.8 million citizens are beneficiaries of OASDI.
For many decades, there has been an incessant effort by Wall Street, wealthy investors, bankers, conservative politicians, commissions (recently, President Obama's "National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform", co-chaired by Alan Simpson and Erskine Bowles) to privatize the Social Security retirement system, to reduce benefits, or to increase the retirement age. Alan Simpson infamously said that social security "is like a milk cow with 310 million tits", and, on social security reform, "we're trying to take care of the lesser people in society …"). On October 7, 2010, Obama compromised with the GOP to cut the OASDI payroll tax rate on salaries/wages that fall below the current cap of $106,800 (currently, 6.2% for both employee and employer) down to 4.2% for employees. This action reduces the contributions to OASDI by $140 billion for 2011! Even worse, Obama (July 2011) wants to extend this cut to 2012, thereby causing a loss of $300 billion for OASDI contributions!!
From these groups, whether knowingly or out of ignorance, a steady stream of misinformation, errors, or distortions of fact steadily flow. Add to this group still others, who wish to "fix" the system they deem in "crisis".
Currently, Obama and the GOP are proposing to reduce the Federal deficit by reducing OASDI benefits. Purportedly, OASDI is in "crisis" and contributes to the deficit! This flies in the face of the fact that, not only has OASDI not contributed a dime to the deficit, it has a $2.6 trillion surplus!! In the August, 2010, report of the SSA (Social Security Administration) Trustees, this is sufficient to last for the next 27 years even if we make no changes to the system!! For 73 years, the OASDI Trust Fund has always been in the black because more has been taken in than paid out.
In the words of AARP executive VP John Rother (August 20, 2010):
Social Security hasn't contributed a single dime to the current deficit. It is financed separately from the rest of the federal budget with contributions Americans make over a lifetime of hard work. Any attempts to cut Social Security benefits to reduce a deficit it didn't cause would undermine retirement security and place an unfair burden on future generations.
If the destructive forces now at work succeed in "fixing a system that isn't broken" by replacing it with a draconian one, thereby increasing the retirement age to 69 or more and reducing benefits, then the quality of life for the majority of retired workers – those who have low-to–medium incomes, and who solely rely on Social Security for their subsistence – would be adversely affected. Is it fair to impose rules that would shorten their right to fruitful retirement years and to cut their retirement income, thus depriving them of a fulfilling life style after a dedicated life of long, hard work?
As stated earlier, the life-expectancy of our population is increasing as well as the number that reach the current OASDI full retirement age of 67 (for those born in 1960 and after). In order to take care of this phenomenon, let us examine structural changes that can be made to the OASDI taxation system and that will easily provide for sufficient annual contributions and Trust Fund assets growth to take care of the retirement needs of the increasingly aging population into perpetuity.
Every year since the1937 start of retirement/disability payments by OASDI, there has been a "cap" (it changes from year to year) on each person's salary/wage earnings (=earned income) as well as an OASDI tax rate. This means each person pays a payroll tax (at the current OASDI tax rate) on all earned income up to the current cap, but not beyond. Furthermore, non-salary/wage income (=unearned income) is not, nor ever has been, taxed for OASDI purposes. The inherent nature of the taxation system used to acquire contributions to the OASDI Trust Fund is regressive. This means that the percentage of gross income (= earned plus unearned income) paid into OASDI decreases as gross income increases. The following examples will demonstrate this fact. (The current cap is $106,800 and the current OASDI rate is 6.2%).
Example 1. Earned income below $106,800 and no unearned income: percentage of gross income (=$106,800) paid to OASDI equals 6.20%.
Example 2. Earned income $213,600 and no unearned income: percentage of gross income (=$213,600) paid to OASDI equals 3.10%.
Example 3. Earned income $320,400 and no unearned income: percentage of gross income (=$320,400) paid to OASDI equals 2.07%.
Example 4. Earned income $534,000 and $128,160 unearned income: percentage of gross income (=$662,160) paid to OASDI equals 1.0%.
Example 5. Earned income $2.4496 million and unearned income $4.172 million: percentage of gross income (=$6.6216 million) paid to OASDI equals 0.1%.
In calendar year 2008, tax returns listing a gross income of over $200 K (= only 3% of all tax returns) held 30% of all US gross income, yet less than 3% of the listed gross income was paid to OASDI; returns listing over $1 Million (= only 0.23% of all tax returns) held 13% of all US gross income, yet less than 0.6% of the listed gross income was paid to OASDI; finally, the $10 million and over gross income class had an average gross income of $37 million, yet paid an average of less than 0.006% to OASDI!
The regressive OASDI taxation system has resulted in a tax cut for the rich. The analysis of the 16 year period from 1993 to 2008 indicates that taxing all income would have provided somewhere between $3.5 trillion to over $4.8 trillion in additional OASDI trust funds (see below)! The cumulative tax cuts that the wealthy received during this period are staggering: it amounts to over $2 trillion! Tax cuts for the wealthy under the current regressive OASDI taxation system warrants further comment. Unlike the average American worker, most wealthy individuals receive much or most of their income from what is called "unearned income", that is, income from other sources, such as stock and bond dividends, capital gains, interest, and other lucrative means, most of which cannot be acquired by the struggling average worker. These sources are not taxed. If this gigantic source of unearned income were to be taxed, it would insure the financial stability of OASDI into perpetuity.
Five different progressive OASDI tax rate systems (applied to all income, not merely to salary/wage income) are given in the complete analysis (see ** above). Typically, these systems lower the rate for OASDI payments for 85% of all tax returns (those below an annual Adjusted Gross Income of $100,000) in comparison to the 6.2% rate now paid to OASDI. This is because the total income of these 85% consists almost entirely of salaries/wages, and everything below the salary/wage cap of $106,800 is taxed at 6.2% for OASDI contributions.
Here is a description of tax rate system 1 (the other four are all progressive as well).
Tax rate system 1: 4% on all income below $30,000 (40.3% of all tax returns in 2008); 5% from $30,00 to $75,000 (24.6% of all tax returns in 2008); 6% from $75,000 to $200,000 (22.1% of all tax returns in 2008; currently, those from $100,000 to $200,000 pay as little as 3% to
Laughable Bush wanna bee.
I agree with you that Social Security is a very important component of the vast majority of retirees' savings.
However, until Social Security also has assets set aside in the trust fund, the $2.4 trillion is merely numbers, an accounting mechanism, which says how much the trust fund can withdraw from the Treasury, without an appropriation.
The excess FICA taxes were loaned to the Treasury, to pay for current expenses.
The "interest" credited to the fund was not in cash or an investment that can be liquidated without new monies being raised.
This "interest" was also loaned to the Treasury to pay for current expenses.
The interest is Treasury debt.
So, the entire $2.4 trillion is a pay-as-you-go system.
Whenever the trust fund is tapped, new monies must be raised, expenses lowered. or increased debt held by the public.
I'll take what's behind door number 3, thank you.
In contrast, when an insurer's reserves are tapped, the investments are liquidated to pay claims – no new money is needed.

Perry may lose the nomination for many reasons, but I think we can be reasonably certain that GOP primary voters will not punish him for expressing extreme views in the language of prideful ignorance, nor for speaking disparagingly of the president. So if he does become the nominee, Obama is going to have to mix it up. He'll need to do so with any GOP candidate, but this is especially so with Perry, because he will say anything, and he will make it personal. Every few weeks, or days even, something happens that makes me ask myself how much more right-wing this party can get. As long as Perry is in the race, we're going to keep finding out.
Starting out a big liar! Stay in Texas Perry. President Obama is more sane than any of these nuts.
"Fed Up!" with this rodeo clown perry already
So, Social Security is illegal? Didn't an "activist" conservative Supreme Court OK it in the end?
Let the flip flops begin!
Social Security is broken. Governor Perry knows it and anyone who has studied it knows it.
Today, SS payroll tax does not take in as much
as it pays out meaning we are draining the "trust fund". The Trust Fund will be fully drained by
2036. In the meantime, 'draining' the trust fund means either we print money to pay SS beneficiaries
or borrow it.
Today 3.1 people pay for each beneficiary. By 2030 2.0 people will be supporting each beneficiary. The numbers are grim. A 50% hike in payroll tax might save the program. Is that acceptable to America?
Today's Social Security "investment" give me a 1% ROI and my estate looses it all if I die.
Had the same money been invested in US Treasuries or the Dow Jones index, my benefits would
be from 2 to 5 times greater. Had they been invested in the Dow Jones and I had paid in for
any time more than 34 years, there is no point in history since 1960 where my DJ-Security
would pay less than SS. Furthermore, my DJ-Security is transferable and it is not $ the
Federal Government can spend. I have not calculated how a 50% payroll tax hike will effect
the ROI for Social Security, should America go down that path.
The point is that a significantly better disability, survivors and retirement plan can be engineered
that is not a Ponzi scheme, does not put the money in the hands of politicians, provides
a better safety net than the current system and can be implemented immediately. All I
hear from most is "don't change SS". The longer things remain as they are, the more difficult
the problem becomes.
Governor Perry will wade in where others are afraid, the current administration especially.
Financial problems with Medicare are much worse.
Ooops, forgot to put my name on "Social Security is broken".

Do you want to know who the LEFT fears the most against Obama? Look at who they attack the most. In the past week I have read about 30 articles about Rick Perry, one of our country's longest serving and most successful governors.
Clearly 98% of those articles have been unabashed hit pieces. One would think looking at the success of Texas compared to the US at large, that Perry was at least somewhat competent in his role. Apparently not. According to the MSM, Perry is an imbecile, an uncultured hick, prone to fits of violence, a racist, a religious fanatic, a crony capitalist, had nothing to do with his state's success and is completely despised anywhere outside of Austin.
So, I guess this means America is an odd place. A complete dolt like Perry can succeed at everything he touches and a genius like Obama can fail at every turn.
Well, on my planet RESULTS matter. You can tell me the coach of the 0-16 team is really a genius and that he inherited bad players and that the coach of the 16-0 team is just lucky, but the 16-0 coach has one thing going for him – he is 16-0. The best thing about winning is winning. Perry may have inherited a good situation in Texas but he has made it better while most of America has been falling apart. You want to know why Superbowl repeats are so rare? Because no matter how good your team is, you still have to play the games.
"Perry is an imbecile, an uncultured hick, prone to fits of violence, a racist, a religious fanatic, a crony capitalist, had nothing to do with his state's success and is completely despised anywhere outside of Austin."
Yup, Bill Mitchell. That pretty much covers it.

Thank you for proving that liberals are idiots. With liberals, models are more to be trusted than reality and intentions are more to be admired than results.
I have news for the liberals here:
Rick Perry is going to win the Republican Nomination and he will beat Obama BADLY in the General Election. Not just that, but Obama's coattails will relegate the entire progressive movement to the dustbin of history. Have your fun now, your Waterloo approaches.
Right now, Obama has a 35% approval rating in PA. The EPA is going to close down 1/5 of all coal-fired plants in America in the next 18 months. Without PA, Obama cannot win. Independents disapprove of him 2:1 and only 26% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, the #1 issue. Dream on but Obama is one and done.
Perry is whatever color he is standing next to, he will say anything that is popular,after saying something stupid.
He has no real convictions or loyalties. He is self interest and motivated. I am so offended by him and anybody who tries to misuse religion to their own profit. .constantly telling lies about Obama keeps people from looking at him.
Taking advantage of the racisim that still exist in this country and promoting hatred is inexcusable.
He is the bottom of the barrel
Funny I am from San Antonio and love Rick Perry and all he has done. He has created a pro-job environment, is willing to take on the E.P.A., the lawyers, and not to mention the shcool districts. Which through all the Liberal lies is not the 49th out of 50 states. For a politician that is hated he sure keeps winning, even Bill White lost to him.
When is he going to backpedal from his statement the Texas should secede for the Union?
>With liberals, models are more to be trusted than reality and intentions are more to be admired than results.
So how'd that Iraq thing and Bush work out then? His intentions were the entirety of what he got praised for by the Right wing. Or are you thrilled with the results? You must be thrilled with the $3 trillion price tag and how much smaller that makes the U.S. government.
Show us how the results of Reaganism have worked out. Middle class is decimated, 40% of our children are on food stamps, wages have fallen for decades and fraud is standard business in our banks and on wall street. The debt Reagan quintupled during his reign just kept growing as his cadre kept insisting "deficits don't matter" through Republican spending binges until all of a sudden, they do. Funny that. How are those results of no taxes on the rich or corporations and decimated financial regulatory system working out for us? You insist they matter. So how are those results? TARP and 1.2 trillion in secret loans to the banking system was a clear result of Reaganism, and you want to stand by that result? Results matter right?
During Bush's tenure poverty increased 50% and consumer debt doubled from 70% of income to 140% of income. How are those results? Come on, results matter. You insisted they did.
Oh please! People don't need "facts" anymore, just a sense of self-satisfaction and to yell louder than anyone else in the room. That's how we win arguments in America nowadays…

is Bank of America still willing to help Rick Perry out

perry a lower class bush jr. romney a republican kerry
deja vu all over again.
as former Reagan/Bush 41 staffer Bruce Bartlett says, "Rick Perry is an idiot"
I'm Rick Perry, saying, I'm not Rick Perry.
I love how Perry copy-cats Ron Paul with the Federal Reserve (as Paul has been talking about for three decades and Perry has been talking about for three days), and mimicks Paul's stance that "we should protect the people who have paid in, but look at getting rid of it completely." He flip-flops on issues like any other slimball sellout politician who is paid for by the big banks, just like Obama. Voting for him is the same as voting for Obama – a smooth-talking criminal.
Make room Romney, we have another flip-flopper in the GOP Presidential race…a political chameleon if you will. If Ron Paul is the compass, with true direction, then Romney and Perry are the flags on the sail, trying to look pretty above everyone else and blow in the political wind.
I will be with the Tea Party, but you have to agree to support social secuity.
bonzo claims President Obama is destroying the country. Every time I see this claim I challenge that person to give examples.
Please explain how President Obama is destroying the country. Please explain how President Obama is destroying the economy.
Don't just parrot the proven repub/con/bagger/winger claims. I want specific examples. Something I seriously doubt you will be able to provide.
—–Don't just parrot the proven repub/con/bagger/winger claims.—–
Should be: Don't just parrot the proven false repub/con/bagger/winger claims.
—–Social Security IS a ponzi scheme by every definition. —–
Explain. If you believe this then you have no idea how Social Security works, how it is funded and what keeps happening to the money.
I'll tell you a little bit. The repubs St. Raygun borrowed $300 Billion to pay for the tax cuts he gave the rich, dubya borrowed $800 Billion to finance his wars. Since the repubs are deadbeats they don't want to pay it back so now they tell lies about it so they can get bagger cretins to go along with them and cheat hard working Americans out of their money.
Here's another tidbit for you. Neither Social Security nor Medicare have ever added one cent to either the debt or the deficit.
Now, explain how it is a ponzi scheme. If it is then every retirement program is too.

Obamacare. We like that name because President Obama does care. Or would you rather go with the repub/bagger plan: Get Sick and Die? It fits on a bumper sticker so I know the baggers will love it.
—–They wanted all farm owners to have CDLs, FFS…yeah, that's "for our general welfare"—–
You say 'they wanted farmers to get a CDL'. Question: Who is 'they'? I know who you mean. The only problem is that's not what happened. The DOT made a request for comments on determining what a commercial vehicle is and what constitutes intra- and inter-state commerce. The DOT has authority to do this:
"The FMCSA Administrator has been delegated authority under 49 CFR 1.73(L), (g), and (e)(1) to carry out the functions vested in the Secretary of Transportation by the 1935 Act, the 1984 Act, and the 1986 Act, respectively . . . "
(Do any of you boys and girls remember who was president in 1984 and 1986?)
There was never a formal rule proposed. This is from a press release from the DOT August 10, 2011:
"No regulations will be proposed for any new safety requirements or changes to the rules governing the transport of agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to or from a farm."
Farmers have always been exempt:
"Under the Agency's CDL regulations, persons who operate a CMV, as defined in 49 CFR 383.5, in interstate or intrastate commerce are required to have a CDL. However, a limited exception is provided for drivers of farm vehicles (49 CFR 383.3(d)(1)). A State may, at its discretion, exempt drivers of farm vehicles that are:
(1) Controlled and operated by a farmer, including operation by employees or family members;
(2) Used to transport agricultural products, farm machinery or farm supplies to or from a farm;
(3) Not used in the operations of a common or contract motor carrier; and
(4) Used within 241 kilometers (150 miles) of the farmer's farm.
The exception is limited to the driver's home State unless there is a reciprocity agreement with adjoining States. "
This is what it was really about::
"It has come to FMCSA's attention that States may be taking varied approaches in interpreting the meaning of "common or contract motor carrier" . . . and, as a result, may be applying the CDL exception inconsistently.. "
In other words the whole point of the request was to ensure that states apply the rules consistently since some states were requiring a CDL and some weren't. It would seem the DOT told the states that farmers were exempt, not proposing a new rule.
Of course this goes against 'states rights' so I'm certain you repubs/cons/baggers/wingers are against the DOT ensuring the rules are applied consistently. After all, if a state requires farmers to have a CDL then that is their right and the repub/con/baggers/wingers should be all for it, telling the states to just ignore the fact farmers are exempt and go ahead and force them to get a CDL.
Are all repubs/cons/baggers/wingers incapable of doing even the most basic research? It took me all of five minutes to get this info.
Here's my question to you:
At what point was President Obama involved in this?
I can't help but wonder how many of you people posting disinformation are paid by the Koch brothers to intentionally mislead and enrage the repub/con/bagger/winger base and people incapable of independent thought? (I know, it's redundant)
Jerry M,
Your statement that Medicare and Social Security have not added one cent to the debt is factually wrong. The national debt of $14T heading to $15T is in large part due to I.O.U's to the Social Security Admin and the Medicare Trustee. I think the figure I saw one time was $6T. Since that money has all been spent – by Democrats and Republicans alike – and wasn't protected like it should have been, we don't have those funds to fall back on when the programs go negative on their cash flow, as they are slated to do very soon, maybe even in the next couple years.
You can also make an argument that the structure of Medicare – third party payer with very little accountability for fraud, overpayment, cost control, etc – has contributed to the sky rocketing cost of health care in this country which is indeed adding to its fiscal woes.
Lets try to make arguments with facts, not glaring falsehoods.
Mike C.
Bush's tenure did not result in poverty increasing 50%. And you blame Reagan for deficits…fine. Do you also blame the Democratic congress who originated all of those spending bills during his Presidency? You probably don't because that would be far too introspective and honest. Iraq has not cost $3T, I doubt even the sum cost of Iraq and Afghanistan is $3T. And if the US maintains its commitments to Iraq, I actually do like how its turned out. Not bad considering all the forces trying to stop it from being successful. Fraud ISN'T stardard operating procedure in our Banks but loose credit is and loose credit plus a loose dollar policy has certainly hurt the middle class immensely in the last 10 years. Are you seriously going to blame only Republicans for that? C'mon man, take off those blinders and see it for whats really going on…we have some mainstream ideas in this country that both parties embrace that are simply ruinous to the fortunes and aspirations of the common man and his family and until we again embrace economic policies that promote the ability of the common man to prosper, and that without re-distributing wealth from other lawfully successful people, then its going to continue to be a tough environment.
Mike C.
I wonder how people would feel if the government took your home so some multi national corporation could build a toll road? Why not ask the texans whom had their property taken by perry and given to a spanish corporation. I think ill vote for the guy that fought to keep the government from stealing his voters land and that would be Paul.
If I where a Hindu I'd be more upset about him committing himself to propagating Christian beliefs as President. I'm a Christian and I don't like the idea that he is going to push his interpretation of "God's Will" on me and mine.
Doesn't anyone understand that because of all the illegals collecting "our" benefits that we have paid into
for all our working years…..of course we are running out of money.!! I wonder if anyone in Congress will address this……………
I think I've heard enough from Mr. Perry to know that he is not a person I want to be making any decisions that have an impact on my life.
In it something is. Now all became clear to me, I thank for the information.
