Perhaps the government was the one who greedily handed out loans, like they were going out of fashion, to people who simply could not afford them.

Where'd the money come from, BY? The Federal Reserve, of course. AFAIK, that's the only place in the USA that can legally create money. Of course, you're welcome to prove that wrong...

As a side observation:

Greedily handing out loans? LOL! That's an oxymoron, if I've ever seen one!

I was about to say dude, don't pull a Matt on me..

The free-market would take care of it, BY. The free market cannot generate inflation--which is overwhelmingly more devasting on the poor than the rich.

Of course, anyone who has taken a community college Economics course would know this.

'capitalists' doing their 'thing' is what caused the mess in the first place.

You have no proof of that.

While I'm sure Bill Nye knows more about science than me, I'm still unsure as to whether causal evidence exists to prove that man-made emissions cause GW. There is undoubtedly a correlation between the two, but that alone doesn't prove causation.

If a meticulously-followed controlled experiment proved a causal relation, then surely the debate would be settled. However, if such evidence existed, then man-made GW wouldn't be disputed at all!

Just as no sane person questions the causal relationship between BAC and motor-skill impairment; this has been proven through controlled experiments, the results of which formed hypotheses, which were then rigourously tested by other scientists, if such evidence existed for the relationship between human action and global temperature, then there'd be nothing to dispute.

Again, I'm no climatologist, but I do know that correlation doesn't mean causation.

We'll see how well the ARRA works once the stimulus-paid jobs are completed.

It's a bit early to praise Keynesian economics...

Happy Birthday Mr. Hunt!

Hope it's a great one for you!

"safety net"?... don't make me laugh... it's a hammock.

When people fall into an actual "safety net", they quickly get out, hardly the case with social programs.

For instance, when it comes to food, this New mother and child will not only get -enough to get by.... but she will get more than is needed.

As I posted before a family of 3 in my state gets $526.00 per month in food stamps.

Thats not counting WIC and free lunch and breakfast for school age kids or meals eaten at "head Start" if enrolled.

Thats about twice what my family of 3 spends on food per month.

In our kindness to help those who make destructive choices in their life we end up promoting the very thing "we" call -negative.

Ehh...

Hammock, safety net; what's the difference?

The only viable solution to your problem is to adopt Saudi Arabian policies. Those black sheets of oppression--which cause furor amongst women-rights groups--actually protect women from the sexual nature of men. The Saudis rear significantly less ####### children than their Western couterparts. You can thank the Hijab for that.

####### children are no doubt an encumberance and destructive act on society, as you've clearly noted.

The facts are there, Danno. Recognize the elephant in the room for once.

C'mon Booyah.

As in other highly developed countries (like Australia,) we have a social "safety net" that's designed to protect the less-than-fortunate.

It was feline-based psychological abuse.

That's just dumb.

The science mentioned is correlative

Well, isn't all GW science correlative?

Lets protect those poor lil bankers now.

Nice red herring.

Oh ya that free market that created the problem!

What makes you think that?

Just because this organization is funded primarily by (Red) partisans doesn't prove that these specific 10 (Blue) politicians aren't corrupt.

Establishing bias is great; however, it doesn't provide a logical refutation to the main points offered in the OP.

It's a typical ad hominem...

Unless I'm mistaken, it seems implicit in your local ordinance that "public sidewalk" maintenance is subjugated by the owner of the proximate "private property." Thereby making the "public" property not "public" at all, as it must be maintained by the "private."

What a paradox!

Of course--respectfully--I disagree with your false dilemma of "individual initiative" or "communism".

This is an issue of the public sector shirking their responsibility to maintain public thoroughways.

Someone was bound to do it...

Hilarious.....

But I think I've just gotta bite the bullet and cut her loose, as hard as it will be...

Sounds like you're making the right choice.

If you can't trust her the same, then there's no point to salvage the relationship.

Many people disapprove of the U.S. war against terror, or of how it is being conducted. But what is the alternative, other than changes in U.S. foreign policy?

Why not just change the foreign policy?

Terrorists don't build their foundation of support on "Western evils" like pork hot dogs, G-strings, and Lady Gaga.

Edge of Darkness- I thought it was a good comeback for Mel Gibson, albeit being a bit predictable and melodramatic.

But overall I enjoyed the flick.

what if you underestimate but you are wrong? For example, Alla says we will spend $200 on groceries and I disagree and underestomate that we will spend $150, but then we actually spend $225.

You're missing the temporal aspect. Under and over estimates are discovered only after your estimate is known to be wrong. You cannot underestimate the future, which is unknown. Therefore:

"Alla says we will spend $200 on groceries and I disagree and underestimate that we will spend $150, but then we actually spend $225." You underestimated, but it wasn't revealed until the actual number ($225) was known.

####### does Obama's birth certificate have to do with the conflict of interest?

It's Bulverism.

This is stupid.

I know Kentuckians aren't generally known for their wisdom, but c'mon, they at least know how and where babies come from, right?

She loses all credibility by wearing those leopard print glasses.

You know whats comin dont you Matt?

Oh yeah.
