You give them orders then get out of the way and let them do their job. If you have paid any attention at all the last 40 years that is not how things have gone at all in any wars. Congress has the power to start wars whether you like it or not according to the Constitution. Of course that hasn't stopped anybody either though.
They have not been wars of defense though as outlined in the constitution, but wars for resources, wealth, control and using my tax dollars to make others richer, either in this country or "allied" countries, like Israel comes to mind.
As far as I am concerned, they are all war criminals that should be brought to the Hague.
I think this will upset a lot of retirees and other people who have established 401k's over the years. I see it as the government not giving you flexibility to do what you want with your own money that you earned over your career at work or by some other means. I think the president will be met with a lot of resistance with this proposal.........Again, since I am new, the forum won't let me post the link in full. Please add the http to the first part of the link................nationalseniorscouncil.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=89%3A obama-begins-push-for-new-national-retirement-system&catid=34%3Asocial-security&Itemid=62
We talked about that a few years ago, but it turned out to be bogus.
I am aware that at any given moment there are studies being done, research being done, proposal being made, etc. to confront the problems we have in this country. Sometimes just by one individual with a wild idea. That's how we do things here. As it works in the business world some of the ideas are out of the box and most will go nowhere. That doesn't mean the various scenarios shouldn't be run during the research phase however. Whatever comes out of all that, if anything, will be made open to national debate. The problem is that now we have the ability to hear about the "what if's" that have always been played around with, and we react as if it's going to drop on our heads tomorrow or something. That's not the case.
FHA is pushing historically low loan rates. The same FHA that is about to go ask the fed for money BTW. CPFB is in the process of rewriting the way companies issue credit scores to minority lenders which goes back to the community renewal act. Add in the DOJ continues to file lawsuit after lawsuit for unfair lending to minorities and we are right back to how this entire thing began. The banks will be forced to lend again to anybody and everybody and then they will bundle all these bad mortgages up into MBS pools and sell em off again and when joe blow can't pay his note kaboom.
Question for those in the know. Is this a mandate or another choice. There is a stark difference. Nothing wrong with having more choices, you either choose it or you don't as compared to a mandate. No need to get people up in arms over a choice they can choose not to do.
Then why did the democrats get folks "up in arms" over Paul Ryans plan where one could choose what to do or Bush plan to shift some soc security money to the market which was also a choice? Why would that be?

It doesn't matter what you consider them. The Constitution says congress can declare war on whoever the hell they want to. They could declare war on you.
So you can raise that top rate to 40% if you want to but you must understand that has consequences and the ability of venture capitalist to go elsewhere is growing at an enormous rate.
Israel leads the world in VC and taxes capital gains at 25%. 2/3 of funding comes from non- Israel sources.

I dunno; I don't understand either party and the parties don't understand me.
