Because of course, that's what I meant. It's not that yours appears to be an ALL DAY break, where you can post indiscriminately at any time of the day, any day of the week.
No. Clearly I meant that you should get NO breaks at all.
Whatever you say, spinmeister.
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

Compensation package absolutely plays into the decision to enter into any field...not just teaching. I like my job, like the traveling, and take pride in the fact that I've played a significant part in hundreds of our employees going home to their families injury free for nearly 1 million man hours. But....I'd be out of there (and the field entirely) in pretty short order if the compensation wasn't right.

I think it's silly to fault someone in any profession who is doing it "just" for the compensation, as long as they do it well and professionally when they do it.

You've got my vote, Habsy.
If Romney employed 500 people last year in America, and he gets tax breaks that bring him down to 13%, then I have no issue.
Getting 13% for nothing but loopholes and offshore bank accounts.... now that IS a problem.

Maybe not all the way to 13% but there should be a starting point with percentage deductions for every 5 employees you have or something like that.

What'd I tell you about lacing the koolaid with acid man?

Of course I'm not. I'm in it for the money, and the challenge (not everyone fits into a perfect box).

And if something changed and institutions chose to pay me less I wouldn't run to my union head (which doesn't exist, by the way) I would work around the issues.
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

A man goes to his secured union job that has a gold plated pension. His kids use that same public education system. His family uses the public health care system when they're sick. This man is for abortion in certain circumstances, especially when it comes to his own family. Even if this man committed treason, he'd have the right to a fair trial.

Socialism doesn't look all that bad.

Until they run out of money to pay for all that gold plating.

Iwish you guys can see what happens when the money runs out but the expectations dont.....
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

No one would crap on Korea if he wasn't such a staunch anti-union leech, govt intervention for everything, except his hard won bargaining rights/benefits and govt paid money.

All other unions fought hard for their benefits but he doesn't respect them.
 
Like predicted by the honest poster Zeke, Obama's lead has completely evaporated, and he's officially fallen behind in the RCP average. The electoral votes map still give him an edge but not a convincing one.

That debate was an absolute total gamechanger. So good for Romney that IMO that it likely nullifies much of Obama's current advertising campaigns, so the Obama camp will have to try something new there.

The only shred of good news I can see for Obama is that since the first debate was such a big deal, the second debate will be getting more attention than it usually would, so Obama has another chance to turn it around a bit - but he'll have to have an absolute killer debate, and after the last outing, I'm not sure he can.

Was it now? So most economists claim the numbers are off and understated but you have it on certainty they've been overrated? Credibility zero man.

"most economists" my sweet ass.

the same people bitching about the numbers this month are the same ones who have been ripping Obama for the last 4 years based on those EXACT SAME NUMBERS.
 
Habsy said:
The problem with these past numbers is that they are so blatantly flawed the conspiracy theorists are out in force. The assumptions made on these numbers are ridiculous and assume the economy is the best it has been in 30 years, even better than under Clinton. Ludicrous.
Click to expand...

what are you talking about?

the unemployment numbers have been slowly and steadily dropping for he last 3 years. it's is no surprise whatsoever that they made another small drop this past month.

and Clinton had the unemployment rate down to 4.2%, so I'm not sure what you're talking about there, either.
 
Habsy said:
In order to have the drop displayed the GDP would have had to increase 5%, which it didn't. When factoring in GDP and the 892K new jobs the result would be an economy stronger than it has been in 30 years. It obviously isn't. This is why so many people are questioning the numbers, they are disgustingly wrong. Someone ****ed up badly. There is a reason the UC6 didn't move, nothing positive happened to make it move. The UC3, which is the number everyone touts, moved downward despite only 114k jobs reported. The home survey purportedly raised the jobs number by 892K. A ridiculous amount. Using this number and other assumptions they came out with a 7.8% figure. It's crap. This may actually hurt Obama more than help him if it is adjusted upward just before election.

You are linking GDP and unemployment in a way that doesn't work.

Obama's problem is that he proven, to anyone who's objective and does not have his/her head up their ass, that he's a totally ****ing inept and incompetent manager of a national economy.

Other than the fact that the economy is doing much better now than anyone predicted it would when he took over, and other than the fact that the U.S. recovery is progressing faster than most other recoveries around the world.

That's odd. I implicitly remember the Mittster saying he had no problem with the tax rate for the rich exactly where it is. Hmmm. Must've been a different debate we watched. Now, cutting corporate taxes to attract investment and companies is perhaps what you're talking about. Different ball game.
Click to expand...

yep, after campaiging for the last couple of years on tax cuts for the job creators, he suddenly took that back at the debate and said he wouldn't cut their taxes, and in fact would raise them by closing loopholes.

which, of course, is exactly what they've been ripping Obama for campaigning on.
