Here's a place to post videos, silly musings, off topic things, observations etc.

I'll start.  And,  I'll continue, God willing.    Same old, same old for me, lol.  

Love this one, can't get enough.

Define "soon".  It would take decades to condemn and tear down what needs to be torn down - to rebuild - I can't see that happening "soon".

Hey, as long as those on the dole keep getting their food stamps, subsidized health care, Obama phones, you name it, they really couldn't care less I'm afraid yar, "one hand is out for the taking and the other hand is in their pocket".  

They won't care until their freebies are reduced or gone and they actually have to go to work and start paying some taxes themselves.

Always a long excuse about how that's not possible.

I don't think anyone is worried about my $1,000.  I thought it was all about compassion and helping others.    It's kind of hurtful that they feel that way.

I blame it on the cause - Barrack Obama and his democrat congress.

Personally I would take your $1,000. dollar option.  With my medical situation and the number of office visits I have in a year, I would come out ahead. 

Yes, it makes total sense to scrap obamacare after all the time and money spent tying to make it a workable solution.  Ya, lets just throw it out instead of working together to get the bugs out.. 

That's real logic there now I tell ya.

on the dole? who do you know who's on the dole? we don't have that in the united states. and who do you know who collects welfare,or food stamps,or assistance of any kind? same for yaryar,who do you know who does that?

i haven't seen many people online who get help,and those who do,they deserve to get help. they try hard to help themselves ,and the government helps them to do that.

WE qualify for a great deal of help that we don't get. we'd rather that money goes to people who really need it. kinda like feedinfg people when you can,who need it,viua donations and our money. 

people have helped us in the past,we pay it forward. if we ever need help again,i will be grateful to get it,and i'll know we deserve it,because we're good people.

Yeah, it'll all be all right soon!!!  Magical thinking I'd say.

Let's see they spent over a half a billion on that failed website and still counting.  The whole thing's a disaster.

But like I said, as long they're getting theirs, that's all that matters.

I am not getting one thing from the government.  I work.  I pay taxes.  I don't own an "Obamaphone".  But I am one of the 53%, who doesn't have a problem with my taxes going to help those who aren't as fortunate as I am.  It's called compassion.

Everything's gonna be just peachy.  

No one has to pay their own way, that'll work, sure.   Just get in line, one hand out perpetually, a fine philosophy.

I'm glad to see we finally agree on something.

Do you really believe that the path we are now on is sustainable in the long run?  I don't.

[lealta]

Do you really believe that the path we are now on is sustainable in the long run?

No.  But I also  don't think we will remain on this path forever.  As unemployment goes down (which statistics show it is), there will be more people who go off the welfare rolls and more money coming into the government in the form of income and payroll taxes.  If the Republicans had been willing to work with Obama, instead of against him for the last 6 years, we would have been a lot farther along on the road to recovery.
