That figure includes a lot of other stuff which simply isn't true. They add in a "total cost" by claiming the pension which might be paid some 20 years from now as if it is an actual reoccuring or on going cost. It simply is not.
Maybe the government should have just given him food stamps instead? Feeding a horse requires a little more I guess. Keeping up three or four houses and writing off the costs on taxes is also a little bigger entitlement than most people get.
It was a business related loss; it is tax deductible. Did you have any tax deductions you refused to take?
The problem is the private sector pay has been decreasing since the "job creators" got the Bush tax cuts.
We had almost exactly the same number of private sector jobs two terms after the Bush tax cuts as we had before them. If they're some how good for jobs why was there the near complete and total failure of them to create jobs after eight years in place?

you guys need a dictator not a leader ...why...? because thats what it will take...solid backbone to bring forward solid backbone where there is none...it should be an election for a committee...not a guy...the worst candidate is the one that wants to be THE Pres
Yes, the president should not be running just to help himself & the bribers who expect to be paid back many times the amount of their campaign contributions. And the president should hire good quality help.
This is why I'm for Gary Johnson. He is wealthy but not needing to show it, very frugal. Why spend it just because you have it? And, don't spend it if you don't have it. No borrowing! He proved frugality as two term guv of NM. "Governor Veto" saved NM taxpayers many millions. He inherited a deficit in a state where 2/3 are Democrat. He beat the incumbent Democrat, then won a second term by a wider margin. Vetoed so many bills, taxes were cut repeatedly & he left state treasury a surplus.
Despite his frugality, he hired Harvard economics professor Jeffrey Miron as financial advisor. His Veep is retired California judge Jim Gray, widely known from judgesagainstthedrugwar dot org. Both Gary Johnson & Jim Gray can discuss issues calmly, showing respect to all.
Gary Johnson's issues positions are stated clearly with explanations of the benefits. He doesn't need to keep secrets from voters. You can ask Gary anything! He has internet town halls, relaxed discussion on the issues. Anyone can RSVP to participate. Unlike some candidates, Gary has no hate. He will show no favoritism, cutting each prgm/dept 43%, except ending IRS & Dept of Educ, & ending drug war. He will need the co-operation of Congress, so we need to replace as many Constitution-haters as possible. And do the same with the state legislators.
Yes, corporate greed could leave most individuals bankrupt & the USA perhaps beyond bankruptcy, so all that could be done is dissolve the Federal govt with each state becoming a country that is bankrupt or close to it, similar to what happened to the USSR when they tried to keep up military spending. Obama & Romney propose spending more money than we have, Gary Johnson does not.
Barack Obama: more wars & give health care much more money than the 1/6th of all $$ they get now. US life expectancy has dropped to 50th longest with cancer epidemic killing 30% (world average 13%). Cannabis oil was in pharmacies until 1937, when cancer was rare. Recent anecdotes say it cures cancer & 60+ studies show cannabis fights cancer. Gary Johnson has advocated for re-legalization of cannabis since 1999. "Mittens" thinks users should be locked up, but won't talk about it. He wants many more wars & was praising big oil in a debate. Gary Johnson doesn't need to repay bribers & wants fewer wars.
I would suggest that the greed of our elected reps will lead to our economic collapse. It was a bipartisan movement that led to the collapse of the banking industry.
Only rescently was it revieled that our elected reps did not have to abide by insider trading laws.
Our former speaker of the house benefited from manipulating the laws.
Other reps also enjoyed sub prime loans from a bank. he was was part of the banking deregulation.
Corporate america operates within the laws our elected reps create.
How do we blame anyone for taking advantage of tax laws our elected reps created?
NO corporate america needs a healthy economy to remain competetive. The last thing they want is a collapse of the dollar.
I blame those who incite class warfare. I blame those who refuse to compromise and they are from both parties. I blame the hardliners who refuse to hold their own accountable.

No, it has actually increased slightly, while public sector pay continues to increase at a MUCH higher rate.

Now, in comparison, the public sector seems to be earning more.
It seems that way because they actually ARE. By FAR.
Quote:
Instead of demanding higher wages for jobs in the private sector, people are developing envy of public workers.
As you can see by the chart, public sector pay is WAY out of control. It's bankrupting cities and states, and will soon bankrupt the country.
Who's been lying to you? And why do you believe them so easily without verification?
