end of lobbying? how the heck does congress know what to push if their constituents don’t lobby?

yes, we all get the politicians only making promises; however, my congressman is never at fault. why else do we have so many that have been in since the stone age? if you want to hold congress to the fire, the first comes with your vote to stop voting for the same people all the time. oh that’s right though, your congressman has done lots to promote your state’s interests.

i agree with ross, although i wish he was taller and didn’t have big ears. then again, i have crooked pinkies and a bent nose, so not everyone can be perfect.

Surprisingly enough, I agree with Obama on one of his bailout propositions, and he agrees with Perot.

Raise the FDIC limit to $250K.

That is a great idea. Not only will it increase confidence in their banks, it will cause more people to add to their deposits, which boosts the books of the banks that might be hurting.

I agree with Jeremy. Career politicians only leads to complacency. How can you learn about the real world, let alone your changing constituency, when you’ve been in Washington your whole career?

I would love to see the same for the Presidency. One 6 year term. This will keep the Executive Branch fresh. It will also eliminate that year before reelection where nothing gets done.

Jimmydageek, im not sure where you get your information, but its not very representative of the entire population. Why is it only a womans responsibility to use protection? Also, teacher’s job security is anything but high. Due to budget cuts and irresponsible spending within the education system (not to mention the low pay), the majority of teachers dont last 5 years. And also, probably the most important point, why do i care so much about some anonymous guys posting that i felt the need to respond? I dont have an answer to that one.

You probably can’t get rid of lobbying, but we could make it illegal to vote on any legislation where a lobbyist had given any money to a senator or congressman…that would probably have the same effect!

Sorry, JLP, I have gone around and around on this. 99.99% of the time, if the mother doesn’t abort or give the child up for adoption, she keeps it and the father is long gone. Although it takes 2 to tango, it takes 1 to use protection. Since the woman is the gatekeeper, she can control things. After the first child, you’d think she would be more careful. Since this is recurring behavior, I am led to the conclusion that the first child was not an accident.

As an outsider who is in a country where luckily we have this, I would wish for my American brothers a government who kept their fiscal house in order, not running deficits and making payments towards reducing their debt, so that the citizens could, over time, keep a greater share of the fruits of their labors, and a citizenry who supported those goals so that things would be better for every subsequent generation, rather than worse.

Jimmy,

Remember, for every unwed mother running around, there’s an irresponsible father running around too. It takes two to tango!

It’s unfortunate that because of the breakdown in morals and the proliferation of unmarried women with multiple children with multiple partners we get students that don’t want to be educated and birth mothers that don’t care.

Our school systems have be come welfare organizations where do-nothing bureaucrats support incompetent teachers that can’t be fired because of destructive unions.
