Pledge makes my table shiny and clean. When will they be delivering it?
all over this laaaaaaand!
- Stop job-killing tax hikes
- Allow small businesses to take a tax deduction equal to 20 percent of their income
- Require congressional approval for any new federal regulation that would add to the deficit
When did they take "contradiction" out of Webster's Dictionary?
Anyone buying this[/URL]?
NO. It is another load of crap with empty promises. Just like the "Contract with America", where they achieved nothing. Same BS from Washington, different dance.
Same dance different tune?
Same post different goon.

Pledge makes it easy for republicans to wax their carrots.:D

Remember in Back to the Future, in 1985 there is an election on in the background, Mayor X is claiming his "progress platform will deliver more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes".
Jump to 1955 and there is an election on in the background where Mayor Y is claiming their "progress platform will deliver more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes"...

You're confusing movies with real life... where every politician promises more jobs, better education, bigger civic improvements and lower taxes.

You forgot... at a lower price. :D
If those Republicans are incumbents, they're going anyway. It's irrelevant.
So which of those would you eliminate?

Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, and Firearms. The government shouldn't be using my hard earned money to give such a dangerous combination to any group. They're gonna shoot their eyes out. :yesnod:
why does spell check want to change HungLikeJesus to Negligences?
Maybe it was a accident.
Mine wants to change it to Hungriness. :3eye:
Promises, promises, promises.
Can't say much about your Govt, but I know the Post Office here started calling itself "The People's Post Office" a couple of years ago. What? Why? What was it before then? What it really meant was an increase in branch closure, and transferring some of the main Post Offices into small departments of stationery shops. Average number of people serving in our main PO now? 3. Down from 7. Average queue time? 20 minutes. Which is about the same amount of time I used to queue in the City Centre branch in Leicester. At least that was a beautiful place, not a rinky-dink corral in WHSmith.
Oh and the National Westminster Bank (NatWest) are selling themselves as the Helpful Bank. Not all that helpful for me, as it turns out. They are no longer prepared to add a reference to a cash payment made over the counter. So when I pay my rent arrears, they pretty much have to guess which is my payment given the bank sort code. I don't expect a solicitors in Leicester have an awful lot of people paying via the branch in Aylesbury, but given that inputting a reference takes >1 minute I really can't see this helps anyone.
Royal Mail is the postal service run from the Post Office.
I have issues with the Royal Mail too, but at least they don't call themselves the People's Mail.
Maybe it's like "corn sugar".
The only mail we get now is bills and junk mail.
So, since it is now the "people's postal service" you won't mind opening your mail as much.
So which of those would you eliminate?
Foreign Aid, IRS, DEA, Amtrack, cut salaries for Congress in half, they only work half a year anyway.
bah - Their salaries aren't the problem. Its the lifelong benefits.
Not for the ones who never retire. ;)
Yes - they are getting many of the the benefits while employed.
ETA - In the grand scheme of things ... Its not as big an issue as some other things.
Not for the ones who never retire. ;)
I don't think that is the drag on most large companies and states that pay.
At $0.19 per $5400, it's not a drag on the Federal government, either.

Depends on how many millions you multiply that .19 by.
I suppose if you even multiplied it by one million, $190,000 per $5,400 would be quite a drag on the government's finances. I propose not multiplying congressional salaries and benefits by millions.

Agreed. I still say there may be some value in making the the jobs minimum wage with some really good benefits to keep them motivated. :rolleyes:
Can't do that - We need to attract the best and brightest. Just think of who we would have representing us if there was so little pay [COLOR="Yellow"](Christine O'Donnell)[/COLOR]

They get ten times as much from the lobbyists anyway.
