This all has brought new meaning to Ceo and cfo. Cheif Extortiion Officer and Cheif Fraud Officer. In the US We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office. Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
The only difference between a tax man and a taxidermist is that the taxidermist leaves the skin

Actually I have family in Los Angeles. Lots of it.
The male ones, by the way, are all married with white American females. [b]How does that make you feel?
P.S. My offer of the few euros is still standing. Don't be ashamed, you need them and I am a good Christian soul.[/b]

I like mine lightly buttered with a dash of cinnamon and sugar

Originally posted by SuzianneSomeone is keeping up on things. We have known all about this for a couple of years now. North America and South America with no borders and the Amero for the common currency to try to keep up with Europe.
It won't be the Euro, it will be the Amero.
But for that to happen, the dollar must completely collapse first.
The dire financial straits we are in now is only Act I in the process.

Hillary screamed government health care, BHMO says the same now. We need Seiste to come by my house to pump up the economy and create cash flow 🙂- If people think health care is expensive now wait till the cost is free 🙁 What we need is more unemployed politicians !!
85 year old lady with end stage emphysema. Severly mentally retarded. No family. Almost completely unresponsive. The state is her guardian, thus making healthcare decisions on her behalf. She lives in a nursing home.
Day one: Trip to the hospital (100 yards away): cost $750
Trip back to the nursing home (same 100 yards) $750
Trip back to the hospital (same 100 yards) $750
Cost of treatment at ER, probably in the thousands of $$.
Multiply this by 50 as this will occur about that many times in the next year. This does not include the cost of her daily maintanance in the nursing home.
State guardian refuses to make this poor woman a DNR (Do Not Resusitate) because as she says "I couldn't sleep at night."
