hmm you can find a nice newer 3br/2ba house in the suburb towns around Raleigh all day long for 100-150k. We also have a strong and diversified employment market, go figure.
Oh, you know what helps stop outsourcing? Drop our ridiculously high 35% corporate tax rate down to around 10% and watch the jobs pour in. Just my .02.

How many millions do these CEOS need and deserve? How much of the taxpayers money just disappears and no one even questions it?
You mean like the 9 billion that went missing in Iraq? I'll bet it found its way to Vampire Cheney's Dubai bank account via Hell-iburton. I heard today that there are about 150,000 contractors currently in Iraq. Somebody is getting very rich there ..the same reason they started the illegal war and the same reason that they want to stay for 100 more years!

Also, like the millions some prominent Senators' relatives are making from contracts in Iraq. Don't you realize that some of both the Republicans and Democrats are war profiteers?

I hope the economy goes further down maybe all the ignorant democrats will starve to death and leave the country a better place...
Your entire post contained as much BS as Biden's debate, he doesn't have a clue, either..!

I am not a man, I am a woman.

I do live within my means.

But we should aspire to be and have more. That is what made this country great. Not an attitude of wanting to be less, or staying low. The American Dream brought people here, and continues to.

I am an independent, an American Patriot and Taxpayer, and I do not align with one or any party. I wanted Ron Paul. Since Ron Paul is not running, I see McCain as dangerous, and will vote Obama out of default and some agreement with his ideas.

Thanks. Yes, I wonder why anyone would vote for McCain now that he has admitted he will tax employment health benefits. Employers will raise prices on employees, or just cut benefits.

What is wrong with this man?

Default living beyond their means

Yes, both Democrat and republicans are guilty, but this administration seems to be the worst, and the most blatant.

What about the three or four trillion I think it is, that is supposed to be missing from the Department Of Defense? Again, no one questions.

Our politicians are spending, and stealing our money beyond everyones means.
Then they have the nerve to say, we are spenfing beyond our means.

I would agree there are a lot of people that have donr that. I don't do it myself, and don't advise anyone else to. Everyone should take personal responsibility for their actions and finances.
