The government cant run what it already has, much less anything else.

interesting read!

Yup thats why I opted out of this one. I already killed the politics section. :D

Coming right up! :roflpuke2:

Did you hear about the recent developments re Goldman Sachs...here's a link.

washingtonpost.com

I suppose it's a "good news" story except to say that they are now prospering as a lot of their big competition (Lehman Bros and Bear Stearns) went under throughout the last year. There is an interesting debate on the news in that since they have repaid their TARP funds, Goldman will now have full discretion to declare some massive record bonuses (presumably to the fat cat investment bankers) without government restrictions.

Lots that could be debated here...

off topic, i heard the Cuba block has been lifed now.

The pic was hilarious.

Huh? Are you just trying to stir the pot more here for our American friends? :stirthepot:

lol, did CTV lie to me

What did you hear? Lift on travel restrictions or trade/business restrictions by the US. I know there's been some talk re the travel part, but I thought it was just talk so far.

just the travel part

I'm kidding! California already has Socialized medicine for the poor and people who come from across the border. It's called Medi-Cal. It is so fraud plagued it is hard to enforce. I do not want to pay taxes for anyones doctors visits!

If anyone thinks the current situation is ideal they're either uninformed or stupid. I will break down the problems I've seen from the inside regarding the health system in this country in my own thread later on.

I completely agree


For my major alone, I hope the economy grows, and I hope it does it substantially or I'm not going to be to well off after graduating lol.

I like Kittens
