Well 16 years of do nothing goveners the people of our state were looking for a change, but I myself do not like the look of things to come, more taxes and flip flop answers. I just don't get what they see in devail, he seems very shadey to me. If I would have voted for Cristy Manhole but that would have been a throw away vote. At least Healy was on the sportsmans side of the issues

From a CNN article on Pelosi - my comments in parenthesis
So what will be on the agenda come January? Pelosi has said that in the first 100 hours of her speakership she will push for action implementing all 9/11 Commission recommendations on national security (ok - good thing), raising the minimum wage to $7.25 (which will be pushed back to consumers, bad for me). eliminating corporate subsidies for oil companies (not sure what this entials, but my gut is that somehow the cost will be pushed back on me, so bad for me), allowing the government to negotiate Medicare drug prices (same as prior comment), imposing new restrictions on lobbyists (ok with me), cutting interest rates on college loans (who is paying for that, most likely me) and supporting embryonic stem-cell research (dont care).
And what about the persnickety allegation that she will skipper tax hikes through the House? Sure she will, said the shoo-in speaker.
"We will revisit the tax cuts at the high end in order to give tax cuts to the middle class," she said. (BS - that tax cuts that went through benefit ALL of us, it benefits those that pay more, more than those that pay less. What you'll do is promise to benefit the middle class, but just repeal the cuts and use the $ to fund the things above whihc are going to cost me!!!!!)

Think outside of the box a bit...it's pretty easy to flip all those comments around and show the positive side.
But please, if you're going to tell me that reducing corporate regulation and encouraging free market competition in Pharma is a bad thing because we need corporate welfare to encourage business innovation...
Then I really have no idea what economic model you stand for

I guess the million dollar question is what is their definition of the "high end"?
$150,000 in the Northeast, or California, isn't the same as $150,000 in other places. And I'm betting "high end" is going to be pegged at less than that  |

Ok here's my question regarding a minimum wage hike. If the rate goes up say $2 an hour for the new minimum wage, will my employer suddenly hike my pay as well? I mean, if the guy sweeping floors at my place is getting an extra $2 an hour, so why should'nt a skilled employee like myself get an extra $2 an hour in my pay also?? |

The difference is, Gates actually knows what he's talking about.
Rumsfeld... not so much... |
