How much money have these companies made to fight HC reform and still not pay any taxes? Tax health care as income, then give back enough to low income and use the rest to insure the uninsured. IT IS COMPENSATION. last edited: 9/04/09 10:53:18 AM” 11:10:55 AM 9/04/09 The stimulus plan...it sucked. “ ![]() http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204731804574385233867030644.html Consider first the part of the chart pertaining to the spring of this year and observe that disposable personal income (DPI)--the total amount of income people have left to spend after they pay taxes and receive transfers from the government--jumped. The increase is due to the transfer and rebate payments in the 2009 stimulus package. However, as the chart also shows, there was no noticeable impact on personal consumption expenditures. Because the boost to income is temporary, at best only a very small fraction was consumed. This is exactly what one would expect from "permanent income" or "life-cycle" theories of consumption, which argue that temporary changes in income have little effect on consumption. These theories were developed by Milton Friedman and Franco Modigliani 50 years ago, and have been empirically tested many times. They are much more accurate than simple Keynesian theories of consumption, so the lack of an impact should not be surprising. ” 7:46:19 AM 9/17/09 “Do you really think this economy can turn without construction being, as always in the past, the leading source of jobs? We hired every illegal alien that could find our border to come and build houses that nobody can afford. Write out the IRS mortgage exemption over four years @25% each year and get back to some capitalism rather than this Capitaligion that has destroyed this country.” 8:12:49 AM 9/17/09 “OH CRAP...this is gonna sting for the libbies. http://ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=338426559999450 The Labor Department reported Friday that 42 states lost more jobs than they gained in August, and that 14 plus Washington, D.C., reported unemployment rates of 10% or more. Michigan's rate rose to 15.2%, highest in the nation. Nevada, represented by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is second with 13.2%. California, home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is tied for fourth with Oregon at 12.2%. Clearly, the stimulus bill that no congressman read is not working. As it turns out, no congressman may have written it either. It's largely the creation of a coalition of leftist organizations called the Apollo Alliance, whose primary interests are saving the Earth, environmental justice and redistributing wealth. They are not friends of job-creating capitalism. On Apollo's Web site, Sen. Reid, whose state also leads in foreclosures, is quoted praising the group of which former green czar Van Jones was a board member.” 7:04:23 AM 9/23/09 “A country can not live by imports alone.” 7:46:13 AM 9/23/09 “ ”1:18:49 PM 10/26/09 “Economy grows in 3Q, signals end of recession http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/10/29/AR2009102900196.html?hpid=topnews” 6:11:09 AM 10/29/09 “I thought somebody on here said that a couple of months ago because of unemployment numbers "leveling off" (which have since increased).” 6:12:27 AM 10/29/09 “YEah...um Y2 here is a bet within a month we will see where that was actually wrong...or haven't you seen prediction after prediction where the "economists" (motto "only slightly less accurate than NOAA"_) predict end of recession only to be followed up by another evidence of failure?” 6:13:13 AM 10/29/09 “key phrase in the article: "fueled by government-supported spending on cars and homes."

That isn't a recovery.” 6:20:14 AM 10/29/09 “Y2...um I don' mean to second guess you, and GOD I hope you are right, but we have heard this same CRAP for the past 7 months. Only to have another report say its 'Going to get worse before it gets better". WAIT...my bad I just remembered Abe Lincoln's profound words....And I am guessing you are part of the first group. (LOL)” 6:22:10 AM 10/29/09 “That super-duper successful "Cash 4 Clunkers" program that the progressive left was so proud of, that showed how Obamunism worked, that proved if you pay people $4,500 to buy a car in August, a lot of people who'd been planning to buy a car anyway would take advantage of it... ended up costing taxpayers $24,000 per car sold. But remember, we need a "public option" to make health care more efficient.” 6:23:02 AM 10/29/09 “That money is already GONE. Where did it go? Come on, its not a trick question.” 6:23:28 AM 10/29/09 “All I'm hearing is a lot of squealing from you boys because America is turning a corner and putting the failure of wrought by conservative ideology behind it. But that's right, you want America to FAIL don't you. Who can possibly be upset that the great conservative recession has come to an end?” 6:24:01 AM 10/29/09 “Boeing picks South Carolina for 2nd 787 line SEATTLE — Boeing Co. will open a second assembly line for its long-delayed 787 jetliner in South Carolina, expanding beyond its longtime manufacturing base in Washington state to take advantage of economic incentives and a nonunion work force. The Chicago-based airplane maker said Wednesday it chose the site in North Charleston over Everett, Wash., because it best suited plans to boost production of the highly anticipated jet, designed to carry up to 250 passengers. The decision ended an interstate competition for the huge factory, with South Carolina prevailing over the state where Boeing has built airplanes for decades. It hands South Carolina production of a plane crucial to Boeing's future but one plagued by problems stemming partly from the company's reliance on suppliers spanning the globe. South Carolina offered Boeing $170 million in incentives and relief from sales taxes on things like fuel used in test flights. The move wasn't entirely unexpected. Boeing already operates a factory in North Charleston that makes 787 parts and owns a 50-percent stake in another plant that also produces sections of the plane, Boeing's best-selling new aircraft to date. About 55 airlines have ordered some 840 of the planes since the program was launched in 2003 — far more than any other Boeing plane at the same stage of development. Boeing also has long complained about the business climate in Washington and frequent strikes by production workers. At Boeing's plant in North Charleston, workers last month voted against continued representation by the International Association of Machinists. North Carolina, Kansas, Texas and California were also viewed a competitors for the plant. But Boeing said last week it had narrowed the choices to Washington and South Carolina. Boeing ultimately could decide to move all 787 production away from Everett, said analyst Scott Hamilton of Leeham Co. The failure of Boeing and the union to reach a no-strike agreement meant Charleston was "a foregone conclusion." More ominously, Boeing is expected to decide in three to five years on replacement planes for its best-selling 737 and 777 models and where they will be built. "Over the course of the next decade and-a-half you could see Boeing being just a shadow of itself here," he said, referring to Washington. Everett is the site of Boeing's commercial aircraft division, where the company has assembled early versions of the 787. Last year, a walkout by union machinists there and at other sites in Washington forced the company to shut its commercial plane operations for eight weeks. Unlike Boeing's other commercial jets, the 787 will be built mostly from lightweight carbon composite parts instead of aluminum. As a result, the 787 will be more efficient, quieter and have lower emissions than other airplanes, Boeing says. The mid-size plane will include wider seats and aisles, and larger windows. Boeing has relied on suppliers to build huge sections of the plane that are later assembled in Everett. But that approach so far has proved problematic, with ill-fitting parts and other glitches hampering production. Boeing has postponed the plane's inaugural test flight and deliveries five times, putting it more than two years behind schedule. The delays have cost Boeing credibility and billions of dollars in anticipated costs and penalties. The company could break ground in South Carolina as soon as next month, with the first 787 slated to leave the factory in the first quarter of 2012. The company aims to produce 10 of the planes a month by 2013. By comparison, it makes about 31 of its 737s and seven of its popular 777s a month. South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford called the plant a "monumental" investment that will spur the state's already-growing aerospace hub. In Washington, meanwhile, Gov. Chris Gregoire said she and other officials would work hard to land future, larger Boeing projects. She said the decision came down to Boeing's rocky relationship with the Machinists union and a failure to reach a no-strike deal. "I'm disappointed, I'm angry, I hurt for the workers and I think the company made the wrong decision," she said. "But I wasn't at the table." The Machinists' international president, Tom Buffenbarger, denied Boeing's decision was based on concerns over future strikes. "Corporate decisions like this are years in the making, and this one is no different." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jgBsKOWPDxbHPm4-dacS7NmZW9SgD9BKEFS85” 6:24:35 AM 10/29/09 “HPD - Time to take your BP medication. ;o)” 6:25:18 AM 10/29/09 “y2, you are applying a different standard than you were just last year. The unemployment rate has almost DOUBLED under Obama, yet when it *starts to* level off you post that as a recovery! Come on. (it went up since then) Are you serious? Then you post a stimulus from government infused welfare as a sign people are spending more money? PLEASE dude.” 6:27:17 AM 10/29/09 “Economy grows in 3Q, signals end of recession” 6:28:28 AM 10/29/09 “I see the headline, but that means nothing.
