• Obama: 'Day of reckoning has arrived'

  Tue Feb 24, 2009
  • NO politician is going to make the tough decisions (to quit wasting money). That might cost votes, and if they were not re-elected, they might have to get real jobs and give up all that power. Only STATESMEN might do that.

• Obama: 'Day of reckoning has arrived'

  • The "sorry little all about me people" are the ones who made/make poor choices and decisions, then blame someone else (e.g., the mortgage companies) and want "the government" to take away the pain.

• Obama: 'Day of reckoning has arrived'

  Tue Feb 24, 2009
  • Obama's speech was typical of him -- a lot of style and no substance. There's an AP fact check article, and even AP says he was making claims about his program that cannot be substantiated. But, hell, it's not what he says, it's how he says it that endears people to him.

• Bill Clinton: Talk optimistically on economy

  Fri Feb 20, 2009
  • Sure. For 8 years of the Bush administration the Dems and the press talked the economy into the crapper.

• Schwarzenegger hails lawmakers for budget

  Tue Feb 17, 2009
  • I object to the philosophy of Karl Marx: "From each according to his ability; to each according to his need." I object to the politicians deciding both ability (and how much to take) and need (to whom and how much to give). I object to achievement being penalized.

  • California has been in budget crisis mode for years, well before the current national and international down-turn, and the cause now is the same as it was under Gray Davis -- too much regulation and too much spending.

• More Canada Waste To Michigan?

  Tue Feb 17, 2009
  • Of course we're getting more Canada waste, and probably more from other states, as well. The fees are a source of revenue for the politicians. Thank you Senator Stabenow for your successful work in reducing outside waste coming to Michigan landfills (not).

• White House may move to buy mortgages

  Thu Feb 12, 2009
  • Where are you living? For the last three decades you refer to, NEARLY EVERYONE prospered, along with the rich. Our "poor" are richer than most of the people on this globe.

• White House may move to buy mortgages

  Thu Feb 12, 2009
  • Thank you, Mr. Marx (Karl Marx). This crap has never worked anywhere in the world it's been tried. And, it flies in the very face of individual liberty. If you want this kind of government, go to Cuba. It still exists there.

• White House may move to buy mortgages

  Thu Feb 12, 2009
  • This problem will not be solved by the Government. The Government caused it in the first place, requiring lending institutions to loan to people with no proof they could afford to make the payments in the first place. This is an "unintended consequence" of government policy.
