I have said this once and I will say it again,go after the people who are employing the "undocumented".

I use that term for if you can remember during "Hurricane Katrina"the people who were stranded were called "Refugees".I am not connecting the the two but words mean different things to different people.

It seems something positive has finally happened. But it is still just a minor hurdle. I will not be satisfied until Arizona finds a better way to deal with its undocumented workers other than this draconian law.

There is something definitely wrong when the Federal government with the idea of 'possible' racial profiling, refuses to enforce the law. Then in agreement with Mexico and other nations goes against about 70% of American Citizens and sues one of it's own states that is trying to protect itself.

This swift ruling in my opinion, only substantiates the feeling that this government, rather protect the rights of non-citizens and even possible terrorists, then law biding citizens.

Have we really gotten this corrupt? Have we become 2nd class citizens in our own country? Is this government of ours, trying to eliminate our borders along with our independence, so that we no longer are America but part of a Global society?

IMPEACH this worthless president we have-WORTHLESS,piece of crap

We can send billions to a unwindable war,but we can't protect out citizens
A one term president-worthless,worthless as worthless as this RNN station

And just look at this MORON on the 'VIEW" he fits right in with these brain dead wonders

The corruption that permeates this country is far and deep.

Even refugees should have some sort of paperwork.

As a US citizen, I have to carry my id at all times.

In conclusion, it seems as if it dosent pay to play by the rules.

If you can't beat em, join em.

And why is everyone picking on poor ol Charlie Rangel??Oh sorry,that tomorrow's question

The judge also-made it illegal for
undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places
WHAT
This is raciest-right RNN?
Hey French how many illegals you have in your employ?

And I'll end with this,,my grandparents were LEGAL immigrants,came in via Ellis Island

The Arizona ruling is totally stupid. If an Arizona policeman sees middle east terrorist running across the border, he now can't ask for papers from him. Is this typical liberal Judge stupidity or what? Doug said it right above

"this MORON (Obama) on the 'VIEW" he fits right in with these brain dead wonders"

"And I'll end with this,,my grandparents were LEGAL immigrants,came in via Ellis Island" -Doug

Some say this is an attempt for Obama to gain the Hispanic vote. I think the miscalculation there is if you are the legal immigrant doing everything the right way and more likely the hard way, I don't think you want others copying your test, to get good grades while you had to work for yours.

I'll bet the legal immigrants are even more against what Obama is doing then those born here.

I do understand people's frustration, don't get me wrong. But, let's realize "why" this is all happening. It is about the greed. The people who benefit from not doing anything, are the people who employ undocumented aliens. I truly feel bad for those who have to handle the burden and also know that unless we "come together" as Americans and fix this problem, instead of pitting one view against the other, nothing will change.
How about fixing election law first? It's the big bucks employers who are making out here and who elect our lawmakers.
I think it's disgusting (and we deal with this issue a lot where I live too) that we have gotten to the point of inertia. But what we need is for all Americans to face the realities of why this happens. Considering the only people who aren't aliens are the American Indians (and look what was done to them,) our country and its peoples need to approach these problems like grownups, not haters.
Most of us have ancestors who come from other countries. America welcomed us. It's part of what makes us the country we are, the melting pot. We should be careful about how we treat others. . . in other words, do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Until our leaders (with our support) approach this problem rationally we are doomed to promote hate and we will never solve this dilemma.

Jeanne, it is about greed but it is also about politics. The only one's promoting hate and division are certain politicians. Most people only care about the fact that our laws are being broken and that we have no control over those that break them.

Bless those that came here through the front door from all nationalities that are willing to obey our laws and join us as a nation of immigrants.

Help those who are fleeing persecution in their countries and out of desperation are looking for a better life here.

Arrest and return those that abuse our laws, hurt our citizens, care nothing about us or our country and only want to take advantage of the fact we have no desire to stop them.

The one that should be sitting in Jail is Nobama
I just can't stand to even look at this two faced lier

DOUG

The judge also-made it illegal for
undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places

And how is this suppose to happen??Can't ask for papers-this judge is as brain dead as your worthless president(I don't classify him as my president)

The Obama administration has decided to send National Guard troops to the border states to help federal agents with security.

WOW thanks for nothing-worthless piece of crap

Do I agree with what??? That Obama and the Progressive and Democratic Left Congress have the authority to not enforce laws of our land? They should all be immediately deported along with the illegals!

I wonder? Perhaps Obama's diabolical plan is to go against the majority on everything, like overspending with stimulus, Obamacare, and against Arizona. Our response will be to throw out the Democrats this fall. Then in 2011/2012 when more of his policies kick in and the country spirals into further division and chaos, he can blame the newly voted in Republican majority for the mess. He'll say "I am trying to help you but the Republicans are blocking every measure."

This will provide his only chance for getting re-elected in 2012, thereby continuing his destructive legacy.

I was taught America is a nation of laws. That is no longer the case because Democrats believe the only was to keep the presidency is by giving 12 million ILLEGAL ALIENS amnesty.

Dems will do anything to keep Obama in office even if it means destroying the "rule of law".

Dems will do anything to keep Obama in office even if it means destroying the "rule of law".

Maggie Mama,

It was corrupt corporate Bush Republicans in collusion with corrupt corporate Blue Dog Democrats who destroyed the rule of law in America.

Obama is just following what Bush did during his 8 years destroying the Constitution.

PROOF Enclosed:

Judge Andrew Napolitano says Bush and Cheney should be prosecuted for crimes against the United States Constitution.

The Libertarian commentator debates politics, history and what he considers to be the unconstitutional behavior of both the Bush and Obama administrations, with consumer advocate and four-time presidential candidate Ralph Nader.
http://tinyurl.com/2bl7gjm / June 2, 2010
Well, this is something you don't see every day. Ralph Nader hosted this interview segment with Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano and discussed his book, Lies the Government Told You. I'm surprised the judge is going to be allowed on Fox after making the statements he did about Bush and Cheney during the interview.

Nader: What's the sanction for President Bush and Vice President Cheney?

Napolitano: There's been no sanction except what history will say about them.

Nader: What should be the sanctions?

Napolitano: They should have been indicted. They absolutely should have been indicted for torturing, for spying, for arresting without warrants. I'd like to say they should be indicted for lying but believe it or not, unless you're under oath, lying is not a crime. At least not an indictable crime. It's a moral crime.

Nader: So you think George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should even though they've left office, they haven't escaped the criminal laws, they should be indicted and prosecuted?

Napolitano: The evidence in this book and in others, our colleague the great Vincent Bugliosi has amassed an incredible amount of evidence. The purpose of this book was not to amass that evidence but I do discuss it, is overwhelming when you compare it to the level of evidence required for a normal indictment that George W. Bush as President and Dick Cheney as Vice President participated in criminal conspiracies to violate the federal law and the guaranteed civil liberties of hundreds, maybe thousands of human beings

‘Practically zero’
AP analysis: Almost no illegal immigrants caught at border are prosecuted
http://tinyurl.com/33tgq7 April. 6, 2007
EL PASO, Texas - For all the tough talk out of Washington on immigration, illegal immigrants caught along the Mexican border have almost no reason to fear they will be prosecuted.
Ninety-eight percent of those arrested between Oct. 1, 2000, and Sept. 30, 2005, were never prosecuted for illegally entering the country, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data. Those 5.2 million immigrants were simply escorted back across the Rio Grande and turned loose. Many presumably tried to slip into the U.S. again.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17985314/

Whatever you political persuasion,I think this is disgusting plain and simple.And I am quite sure that we all can agree on that point:

WASHINGTON — A bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to people sickened by World Trade Center dust fell short in the House on Thursday, raising the possibility that the bulk of compensation for the ill will come from a legal settlement hammered out in the federal courts.

The bill would have provided free health care and compensation payments to 9/11 rescue and recovery workers who fell ill after working in the trade center ruins.

It failed to win the needed two-thirds majority, 255-159. The vote was largely along party lines, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats supporting the measure.

For weeks, a judge and teams of lawyers have been urging 10,000 former ground zero workers to sign on to a court-supervised settlement that would split $713 million among people who developed respiratory problems and other illnesses after inhaling trade center ash.

The court deal shares some similarities with the aid program that the federal legislation would have created, but it involves far less money. Only the most seriously ill of the thousands of police officers, firefighters and construction workers suing New York City over their exposure to the dust would be eligible for a hefty payout.

But supporters of the deal have been saying the court settlement is the only realistic option for the sick, because Congress will never act.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you can wait and wait and wait for that legislation ... it's not passing," Kenneth Feinberg, the former special master of the federal 9/11 victim compensation fund, told an audience of ground zero responders Monday in a meeting on Staten Island.

Democratic leaders opted to consider the House bill under a procedure that requires a two-thirds vote for approval rather than a simple majority. Such a move blocked potential GOP amendments to the measure.

A key backer of the bill, U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Long Island Republican, accused Democrats of staging a "charade."



King said Democrats were "petrified" about casting votes as the fall elections near on controversial amendments, possibly including one that could ban the bill from covering illegal immigrants who were sickened by trade center dust.

If Democrats brought it to the floor as a regular bill, King said, it would have passed with majority support.

GOP critics branded the bill as yet another big-government "massive new entitlement program" that would have increased taxes and possibly kill jobs.

To pay the bill's estimated $7.4 billion cost over 10 years, the legislation would have prevented foreign multinational corporations incorporated in tax haven countries from avoiding tax on income earned in the U.S.

Bill supporters said that would close a tax loophole. Republicans branded it a corporate tax increase.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the vote an "outrage." He said it was clearly a tactic designed to stall the bill.

"This is a way to avoid having to make a tough decision," Bloomberg said, adding that the nation owes more to "the people who worked down at 9/11 whose health has fallen apart because they did what America wanted them to do."

John Feal, a ground zero demolition worker who has lobbied extensively for the legislation, expressed disgust.

"They pulled the rug out from beneath our feet," Feal said. "Whatever member of Congress vote against this bill, whether Republican or Democrat, should go to jail for manslaughter."

The bill would have provided up to $3.2 billion to cover the medical treatment of people sickened by trade center dust and an additional $4.2 billion for a new fund that would have compensated them for their suffering and lost wages.

The potential promise of a substantial payout from the federal government had caused some ground zero workers to balk at participating in the proposed legal settlement, which would resolve as many as 10,000 lawsuits against the city.

Initially, the bill would have prohibited people from participating in the new federal compensation program if they had already been compensated for their injuries through a lawsuit, but a change was made in recent days eliminating that restriction.

Nevertheless, with the House rejecting the bill and no vote scheduled on a similar Senate version, it appears almost guaranteed that there will be no new federal law by Sept. 8, the date by which ground zero workers involved in the lawsuits must decide whether to accept the settlement offer.

Under the terms of the deal, 95 percent of those workers must say yes for the court settlement to take effect.

The compensation system set up by the court would make payments ranging from $3,250 for people who aren't sick but worry they could fall ill in the future to as much as $1.5 million to the families of people who have died. Nonsmokers disabled by severe asthma might get between $800,000 and $1 million.

About 25 percent of the money would go to pay legal fees. Contested claims would be heard by Feinberg, who would act as an appeals officer.

Researchers have found that thousands of New Yorkers exposed to trade center dust are now suffering from breathing difficulties similar to asthma. Many have also complained of heartburn or acid reflux, and studies have shown that firefighters who worked on the debris pile suffer from elevated levels of sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease.

Many of the workers also fear that the dust is giving people cancer, although scientific studies have failed to find evidence of such a link.

The exact number of sick is unclear. Nearly 15,900 people received treatment last year through medical programs set up to treat Sept. 11-related illnesses, but doctors say many of those people suffered from conditions that are common in the general public.

The House bill is named for James Zadroga, a police detective who died at age 34. His supporters say he died from respiratory disease contracted at ground zero, but New York City's medical examiner said Zadroga's lung condition was caused by prescription drug abuse.

"The Illegals mostly benefit the wealthiest that is why Bush and Cheney Republicans and corporate Democrats never closed our borders and ports even after the worst attack since Pearl Harbor, September 11, 2001."- Caspian

Caspian, I agree, Bush made no effort to close the borders until toward the end of his term. He obviously cared more about cheap labor then protecting us from foreign criminals or terrorists. He even tried to sell our local ports to Dubai, again not concerned with potential safety issues but backed down when the people spoke up against it.

Surely though you can see the difference with Obama and the reason people are outraged. He not only ignores the borders but is willing to sue one of our own states to keep them open. He does not re-think his policies or back down when people strongly disagree but actually takes side with other countries and those here illegally, effectively fighting against his own people and targeting Americans.

"Caspian, I agree, Bush made no effort to close the borders......."


If Bush did nothing to close the borders he sure took alot of unnecessary heat from Mexico and the Democrats for nil.

Besides, Bush Handed a 700 Mile Fence to Obama and the Democrats and Obama Squashed the Budget and its Construction
----------------------------------------
Appropriators deal blow to border fence:

10/07/09

Appropriators dropped a requirement in the 2010 Homeland Security spending bill to rush the construction of a fence at the Mexican border, disappointing conservatives who pushed the project as a way to slow illegal immigration.

The conference report for the $42.8 billion appropriations bill left out language in the Senate's version that required the installation of 700 miles of the border fence by the end of next year. The fence requirement was inserted in July as an amendment sponsored by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.). It was adopted with the support of most GOP senators and 21 Democrats.

But the conference report went with the House's position, which didn't include any requirements on the fence's construction.

Rep. Jerry Lewis (Calif.), the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee, and other GOP members of the panel assented to dropping the DeMint amendment partly because the conference report increased money for Customs and Border Protection, which includes the Border Patrol, a GOP aide said. The conference report calls for $10.1 billion for Customs and Border Protection, which is a 3 percent boost over funding for the agency in the 2009 Homeland Security spending bill.

Fence supporters faced several obstacles to funding the project.

The Obama administration had opposed a rapid expansion of the fence, requesting far less money for the project than President George W. Bush had asked for. The White House called for $779 million for the fence in 2010, less than the $1.9 billion spent by the Bush adminstration in 2008 and the $926 million appropriated to the fence in 2009. The Homeland Security conference report calls for $800 million for the fence.

Initial plans called for the fence to cover 670 miles of the nearly 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border. But a General Accountability Office (GAO) report in February found that less than three dozen miles of it had been built.

The project was dealt another blow last month when the GAO found that it would cost $6.5 billion over 20 years. The report also said that it couldn't assess its effectiveness at stopping illegal immigration until its technological features were installed. Boeing, the firm building the fence, plans to install sensors to help Border Patrol agents deter people trying to cross it.

DeMint blamed Democrats for "gutting the best tool" for securing the U.S. border.

"Virtual fencing won't solve the problem and we need a real fence to deter the real problems of illegal immigration, terrorism, drug trafficking and human trafficking," he said. "A strong bipartisan Senate majority voted to finish the fence by the end of 2010 and its very disappointing that Democrat leaders are thwarting the will of the American people behind closed doors."

The Homeland Security conference report weakens another provision pushed by immigration hard-liners. The Senate had called for a permanent extension of the E-Verify program, an electronic system used by employees to check whether workers are in the country legally, but the conference report would extend it by three years, the same proposal in the House bill. The conference report does require federal contractors to use the system to check employees' statuses, which is what the Senate had proposed.

Appropriators did include in the legislation $800 million for the border fence program and a 3-year extension of a visa program for international medical graduates working in rural parts of the country.

Rep. David Price (D-N.C.), the sponsor of the House version of the spending bill, said the measures were "short-term solutions until comprehensive immigration reform can be considered by Congress."

President Obama in August called on lawmakers to produce a draft immigration reform bill by the end of the year. But lawmakers, dealing with major bills on healthcare, financial regulation and climate change, will be hard pressed to find time for another contentious legislative item.

It is very funny Mike G. because I do agree 100% with you.

I believe the reasons are the same I had with corporate Bush Republicans and corporate Clinton Blue Dog Democrats.

Both sides always puts money first over the safety and well being of its Citizenry.

Look what Congress just did with our sick and dying HEROES at Ground Zero.

They cut the funding.

Very, Very, Sad, But, Very, True.

Here is my question
If/when the boarders are closed,what happens to the illegals that are here now?

I recently received an email from Verizon stating that I do not have to do anything.

Something about Router Security Update and I seen the words BIOS Settings Utility.

I unfortunately deleted the email and now my computer goes on by itself sometimes, and I cannot boot up by just pushing the button. It takes long to start the computer.

I called Verizon three times and two out of three denied they sent an email like that.

One said it still would not effect your computer because it is only the router that was changed.

LOL Could it be a coincidence?

Could it be my mother board is breaking down?

Could it be I'm targeted by our government?

Verizon thinks it could have been a scam sent to me.

Verizon checked my computer and we ran all the scans and everything was clean.

No Viruses and No Spyware.

Can somebody help with this problem?

I tried going into BIOS Settings Utility but everything I tried does not work.

Thanks.

Charlie Rangel’s Enablers:

July 30, 2010

House [1] Speaker Nancy Pelosi is the world’s worst cleaning lady. How has she fulfilled her vaunted promise to “drain the swamp” and preside over the “most ethical Congress in history”? By shrugging her shoulders, downplaying the gravity of myriad ethics charges against corruptocrat Democratic Rep. Charlie Rangel and waiting for the “political chips” to “fall where they may.” Imagine a custodial service that fixed toilet clogs by letting the overflowing waste and polluted waters “fall where they may.”

At a press conference to preempt the bipartisan House ethics panel’s announcement of 13 ethics and federal regulation charges against Rangel on Thursday afternoon, Pelosi claimed to take “great pride” in her swamp-draining record. Unblinkingly, she cited the House trial against Rangel as proof that the “process” is working. But that beleaguered panel has been pathetically understaffed, has dragged its feet for two years on the Rangel case and has administered more halfhearted wrist-slaps than all the pushover parents on a season of “Nanny 911.”

Clinging bitterly to the moral equivalence card, Pelosi carped about Bush-era GOP corruption. (Cue a chorus of “Let’s do the time warp again!”) Her lips were sealed, however, on the continuing wheeling and dealing behind the scenes between Rangel’s lobbyist-funded lawyers and the ethics panel on a deal to avoid a congressional trial.

A full-blown public trial would thoroughly air his self-dealing, habitual bad-faith failures to report income, multiple House gift ban and solicitation ban violations, flouting of franking privilege and letterhead rules, and a fundamental “pattern of indifference or disregard for the laws, rules and regulations of the United States and House of Representatives,” as the House ethics statement of violations put it. But, hey, what about that GEORGE W. BUSH, eh, Pelosi?

Bush-whack all you want. The Rangel stench is overwhelming. Along the way, Rangel has obstructed House investigators, failed to produce documents and refused previous settlement offers — prompting House ethics investigative subcommittee member Rep.

Jo Bonner, R-Ala., to reject the Rangel-as-victim narrative. Misfortune didn’t befall Rangel. He chose his path. While bleeding-heart lefties in the media, like The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank, mourn entrenched incumbent Rangel’s sudden fall (he “took 36 years to climb to the top, only to lose it all in an instant”), there is nothing sudden about the entitlement sclerosis that took hold of his career.

And there is nothing ethical about the Democratic enablers who have shown their own long pattern of indifference or disregard for clean, open, transparent government.

I remind you that in March, Speaker Mop & Glo was minimizing Rangel’s mountain of alleged transgressions by pooh-poohing that “it was a violation of the rules of the House. It was not something that jeopardized our country in any way.” GOP Rep. Mike McCaul, a member of the House ethics investigative subcommittee, begged to differ. “Credibility is what’s at stake here; the very credibility of the House itself,” he said at the hearing announcing the baker’s dozen of ethics charges. Echoing Pelosi’s nonchalance, Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters sniffed that “many members” of the House are as habitually sloppy and apathetic toward House ethics rules as Rangel — her good friend and Congressional Black Caucus ally.

Since Day One, the identity-politics caucus that Rangel helped found has stood by his side and blamed anti-black bias for Rangel’s troubles. Rangel likened media scrutiny of his shady rent-controlled apartment deals and tax troubles to a “lynching.” CBC member Chaka Fattah, D-Pa., called it a “witch hunt.” And an unidentified, tinfoil-hatted black House Democrat told Politico: “It looks as if there is somebody out there who understands what the rules (are) and sends names to the ethics committee with the goal of going after the (CBC).”

Never mind that the supposedly bigoted House ethics panel exonerated four CBC members of their participation in corporate-funded tax junkets to the Caribbean. When the polls are down and damning evidence keeps mounting, first yell “BUSH!” Then yell “RAAAAACIST!”

As last-minute deal-making between Rangel and the foxes guarding the congressional henhouse continues, more and more Americans are coming to the same conclusions: House-soilers can’t be cleaners. Voters, not Washington politicians, are the ultimate ethics committee.

I think I'm becoming a member of that club to."Maybe it is time for a New Computer?"

Casp - I never heard about any router security update from Verizon? The router has nothing to do with BIOS or booting, it only supply's the means to connect to your ISP. There is security settings in the router that are easy to access using your browser with the correct IP address.

Perhaps it was some sort of virus that attached itself to non-volatile RAM on the motherboard? They have encryption security programs today that exist prior to the operating system, in case someone steals your computer they can't access whats on it. There may be a couple of things you can try. You may want to unplug your computer from the wall leave it off a few minutes and plug it back in. You can also try to clear your BIOS and set everything to default but MAKE SURE YOU COPY DOWN THE SETTINGS FIRST...Goodluck.

Caspian-You say you can get it to boot up into your OS?

Try this first- power down- disconnect the power cord & remove your CMOS battery, wait 2 minutes and re-install the battery and re-plug the power chord and fire it up. This will reset your Bios to factory defaults.

Download and install RegRun Reanaimater,(http://www.greatis.com/security/) it is free and very good at getting out rootkit viruses that take control of your system before the operating system boot sequence completes.
If after you run this and fix any problems and you're still having boot problems, then this looks like a Bios Virus. You may need to re-flash the Bios. Look here

I have to try a few things out.

Cas:
I guess if you could get money like you are getting advice,you would be a rich man,LOL!

BTW,I don't know if this will help but up grading your router would help also.Who ever you ISP server is you should be able to download the upgrade.

Verizon has a in home agent program that you may want to download for this process.Good luck.

I just did mine and WOW!!

All because of a do nothing government run by the WORST president in history,a worthless jackass

Doug, this is not a do nothing government. If it were, we would be better off. This government spent too much on bailouts and stimulus, forced Obamacare down our throats, try to label hardworking, law biding, decent Americans as racists and dangerous, apologizes to other country's and even sue's one of it's own states, siding with Mexico ultimately preventing us from defending each other and our borders.

Sadly, this is not a do nothing government but a doing many things to hurt us and our future government, in my opinion.

Four Deformations of the Apocalypse
By DAVID STOCKMAN
Published: *July 31, 2010

If there were such a thing as Chapter 11 for politicians, the Republican push to extend the unaffordable Bush tax cuts would amount to a bankruptcy filing. The nation’s public debt — if honestly reckoned to include municipal bonds and the $7 trillion of new deficits baked into the cake through 2015 — will soon reach $18 trillion. *That’s a Greece-scale 120 percent of gross domestic product, and fairly screams out for austerity and sacrifice. ****It is therefore unseemly for the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, to insist that the nation’s wealthiest taxpayers be spared even a three-percentage-point rate increase.

More fundamentally, Mr. McConnell’s stand puts the lie to the Republican pretense that its new monetarist and supply-side doctrines are rooted in its traditional financial philosophy. *Republicans used to believe that prosperity depended upon the regular balancing of accounts — in government, in international trade, on the ledgers of central banks and in the financial affairs of private households and businesses, too. ****But the new catechism, as practiced by Republican policymakers for decades now, has amounted to little more than money printing and deficit finance — vulgar Keynesianism robed in the ideological vestments of the prosperous classes.

This approach has not simply made a mockery of traditional party ideals. ****It has also led to the serial financial bubbles and Wall Street depredations that have crippled our economy. More specifically, the new policy doctrines have caused four great deformations of the national economy, and modern Republicans have turned a blind eye to each one.

*The first of these started when the Nixon administration defaulted on American obligations under the 1944 Bretton Woods agreement to balance our accounts with the world. ****Now, since we have lived beyond our means as a nation for nearly 40 years, our cumulative current-account deficit — the combined shortfall on our trade in goods, services and income — has reached nearly $8 trillion. That’s borrowed prosperity on an epic scale.

CLEARLY EXPLAINED- It is also an outcome that Milton Friedman said could never happen when, in 1971, he persuaded President Nixon to unleash on the world paper dollars no longer redeemable in gold or other fixed monetary reserves. Just let the free market set currency exchange rates, he said, and trade deficits will self-correct. YEAH RIGHT

It may be true that governments, because they intervene in foreign exchange markets, have never completely allowed their currencies to float freely. But that does not absolve Friedman’s ---> $8 trillion error. Once relieved of the discipline of defending a fixed value for their currencies, "politicians" the world over were "free to cheapen their money" and disregard their neighbors.

*****In fact, since chronic current-account deficits result from a nation spending more than it earns, stringent "domestic belt-tightening is the ---> only cure". EXPLAINED: When the dollar was tied to fixed exchange rates, politicians were willing to administer the needed castor oil, because the alternative was to make up for the trade shortfall by paying out reserves, and this would cause immediate economic pain — from high interest rates, for example. But now there is "no discipline", ---> "only global monetary chaos as foreign central banks run their own printing presses at ever faster speeds to sop up the tidal wave of dollars coming from the Federal Reserve."

**The second unhappy change in the American economy has been the extraordinary growth of our public debt. In 1970 it was just 40 percent of gross domestic product, or about $425 billion. When it reaches $18 trillion, it will be 40 times greater than in 1970. ---> "This "debt explosion" has resulted not from big spending by the Democrats, "but instead the Republican Party’s embrace, about three decades ago, of the insidious doctrine that deficits don’t matter if they result from tax cuts." HAVE YOU GOT THAT BILL F?

In 1981, traditional Republicans supported tax cuts, matched by spending cuts, to offset the way inflation was pushing many taxpayers into higher brackets and to spur investment. The Reagan administration’s hastily prepared fiscal blueprint, however, was ---> "no match for the primordial forces — the 'welfare state' and the 'warfare state' THE 'WARFARE STATE' ALONE BEING A WHOOPING 1/3RD OF OUR ENTIRE FEDERAL BUDGET — that drive the federal spending machine.

Soon, the neocons were pushing the military budget skyward. And the Republicans on Capitol Hill who were supposed to cut spending exempted from the knife most of the domestic budget — entitlements, farm subsidies, education, water projects. *****"But in the end it was a new cadre of "ideological" tax-cutters who killed the Republicans’ fiscal religion." BINGO!!!

Through the 1984 election, the old guard earnestly tried to control the deficit, HOW? ---> rolling back about 40 percent of the original Reagan tax cuts. But when, in the following years, the Federal Reserve chairman, Paul Volcker, finally crushed inflation, enabling a solid economic rebound, THEN ENTER THE BUSH DRAG-ONS "the new tax-cutters" not only claimed victory for their supply-side strategy but hooked Republicans for good on "the delusion that the economy will outgrow the deficit" if plied with enough tax cuts.

By fiscal year 2009, the tax-cutters had reduced federal revenues to --> 15 percent of gross domestic product, LOWER THAN THEY HAD BEEN SINCE THE 1940'S than they had been since the 1940s. Then, after rarely vetoing a budget bill and engaging in two "UNFINANCED" foreign military adventures[NOTICE EVEN THIS AUTHOR WILL NOT EQUATE THESE MORIBUND OCCUPATIONS AS PROACTIVE OR WARS. HE MORE APTLY ADDRESSES THE LACK OF URGENCY OR INTENSITY- "ADVENTURES"],...
HEY BILL, TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS-->...George W. Bush surrendered on domestic spending cuts, too — signing into law $420 billion in non-defense appropriations, a 65 percent gain from the $260 billion he had inherited eight years earlier. Republicans thus joined the Democrats in a shameless embrace of a "free-lunch" fiscal policy.

***The third ominous change in the American economy has been the vast, "unproductive expansion of our financial sector". HERE COMES THE MOTHERLOAD Here, Republicans have been oblivious to the grave danger of flooding financial markets with freely printed money and, at the same time, removing traditional restrictions on leverage and speculation. As a result, the combined assets of conventional banks and the so-called shadow banking system (including investment banks and finance companies) grew from a mere $500 billion in 1970 to $30 trillion by September 2008.

But the trillion-dollar conglomerates that inhabit this new financial world "are not free enterprises". EXPLAINED: They are rather "wards of the state", "extracting billions from the economy" ---> with a lot of GAMBLING "pointless speculation" in stocks, bonds, commodities and derivatives.
CHECKMATE!!! COMING IN TWO MOVES ---> 1. They could never have survived, much less thrived, if their deposits had not been government-guaranteed and 2. if they hadn’t been able to obtain virtually free money from the Fed’s discount window to cover their bad bets.

****The fourth destructive change has been the "hollowing out of the larger American economy". Having lived beyond our means for decades by borrowing heavily from abroad, we have steadily sent jobs and production offshore. In the past decade, the number of high-value jobs in goods production and in service categories like trade, transportation, information technology and the professions has shrunk by 12 percent, to 68 million from 77 million.
*The only reason we have not experienced a severe reduction in nonfarm payrolls since 2000 is that there has been a gain in "low-paying", often "part-time positions" in places like *bars, *hotels and *nursing homes.

FINAL ANALYSIS- It is not surprising, then, that during the last bubble (from 2002 to 2006) the top 1 percent of Americans — paid mainly from the Wall Street casino — received two-thirds of the gain in national income, while the bottom 90 percent — mainly dependent on Main Street’s shrinking economy — got only 12 percent. This growing wealth gap is not the market’s fault. ****It’s the "decaying fruit" of bad economic policy."

The day of national reckoning has arrived. THE UNWRITTEN TRUTH IS... We will not have a conventional business recovery now, but rather a long hangover of "debt liquidation and downsizing" — as suggested by last week’s news that the national economy grew at an anemic annual rate of 2.4 percent in the second quarter. ---> Under these circumstances, it’s a pity that the modern Republican Party offers the American people an irrelevant platform of recycled Keynesianism when the old approach — balanced budgets, sound money and financial discipline — is needed more than ever.

ALL THOSE WHO UNDERSTAND THIS ARE NOW FULLY PREPARED TO ENTER INTO MORTAL COMBAT WITH YOUR REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR EQUALLY UNPREPARED STAFFS. CALL THEM AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW THE TRUTH AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

God bless you all, and lead America to victory. RECLAIM CONTROL OF YOUR GOVERNMENT AND LIVE TOGETHER IN PEACE AND PROSPERITY.
THE TRUTH IS THAT Neither party under these conditions has your interest at heart.

Robert, Doug, Mike G, Mike Q & Caspian:

Perhaps, just as timely is the coverage on the topics of taxbreaks, and the economy today aired on MSNBC.
Caspian, your Young Turk hosted a series of fair and balanced interviews calling each side for their failures to create jobs and provide sound footing for small business.
Earlier there was a strong interview with my favorite governor Jennifer Grenholm that should answer Mike Gs questioning of the auto bailout. If she hadn't been Canadian born she would possess hands down the credentials and the make-up for being the best candidate for 2012 Presidency.
This brilliant and strong woman has worked her ass off for the state of Michigan despite all the handicaps of lack of finance and bad publicity going to the mats to compete and win contracts with todays top innovators from foreign lands daring to challenge the strangleholds of big oil and an otherwise complicit auto industry to garner CLEAN ENERGY LEADERSHIP IN BATTERY, WIND, AND HYDRO RESEARCH.
Much thanks is owed to this fine governor/governess who flies so low under the radar.
Dennis Kucinich & several others Dems & Republicans on the two Wars to Nowhere as well.

WILL THE AMERICAN DREAM BE NO LONGER ATTAINABLE FOR MANY AMERICANS? Watch the replay

"Much thanks is owed to this fine governor/governess who flies so low under the radar."- John

Tremendous respect for anyone willing to risk their own future and well being, against the powerful, resisting corrupt temptation for no other reason but to stand by truth.

Another woman governess I respect is governess Brewer of Arizona. Standing up against Obama and manufactured ridicule, in order to protect the rights of her people. The Sheriff in that state has a %1,000.000 bounty on his head by the Mexican drug cartel but he risks his well being for what he believes in. Meanwhile in the White house we have a crowd that exempts themselves from the the rules they want the people to follow. In my opinion, they are a cowardly corrupt crowd that needs to be voted out.

John,

Yes that young turk really tells it like it is.

I have not been on that website for a very long time.

Caspian: Today he was on MSNBC.

Mike G: I applaud the Governess from Arizona as well.

John, I don't care if they are Democrat, Republican or Independent a truthful leader with a pure heart, that we can trust and rally behind because we know they are doing what is in the best interest of America would be a wonderful thing we desperately need to unite this country.

Sadly, in the Federal government, there are none worthy to carry that title, no not one.

Mike G: Can any of this be achieved now the THE SUPREMES have opened the floodgates for unlimited corporate contributions in all elections?
Do you really think that it is purely by accident that political offices are invaded- and the culprits[politically affiliated] all get off with a judge that laughs it all off as pranksters w/ no criminal charges.
Have you ever heard of dummy corporations and charities that are set up overnight IRAN/CONTRA that are made to have all the immunities and veneer of legitimacy...

Can anyone in government ever be 100% dead certain that a tainted firm aka/ dummy corporation that he has become acquainted with- either firsthand or by word of mouth for donation or contract purposes, hasn't been deliberately placed in front of him/her to assure compliances from its shadow sponsorship entity at a later date?

I find it hard that you keep looking for justice and restitution, trusting in the integrity of a "political" solution, when all politics is driven by $$$, influence[MSM], and a culturally biased legal system vias an eliteist and corporate bias built into its matrix.

THE ONLY WAY TO LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD IS TO STOP THE MONEY SIPHONING FLOWS FROM OUR POCKETS- INTO THEIR COFFERS.
There is no way that pissing away our money into the bottomless pit of campaign financing, will have an affect that ultimately beats the system. When all the corporates have to do in response is to raise the prices of their goods and services to assure that none of the money funding their candidate ever decreases their profitability.
WE MUST STOP DRINKING THE SWILL FROM THE TITS OF THE TOXIC COWS.

"WE THE PEOPLE" MUST "FIRST AND FOREMOST" STOP DRINKING THE SWILL FROM THE TITS OF "THE GLOBALIST" TOXIC COWS IN ORDER TO MAKE A SIGNIFICENT IMPACT.
ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM RETHINK THEIR CORPORATE RULERSHIP, NEO-FASCIST/COMMUNISTIC AGENDAS THAT FURTHER USURP THE CONSTITUTION AND ITS PROTECTIONS OF "WE THE PEOPLE" AND CITIZENS OF THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Those who are thinking with that preservation of "me first" mentalitys have already succumbed to the wiles of its NWO proponents.
They are conceding "liberty and justice for all" and their "human right" as citizen representation holding government accountable to a non entity and persons behind the scenes that cannot be jailed or imprisoned for its deliberate crimes against humanity.

In essence, the people must rise together in unison, stopping the outflow to the entities that are hellbent upon using our capital as the only resource to build their corporate new world order.

We do not need to participate in their political boobie-traps to retain our 52% share of the GDP and controlling stock in America. All we have to do is not buy their products, not participate in their events, and disawow the Fed demanding that the US TREASURY take control our currency eliminating the revovling debt of interest payments to its private consortium that continues to allow this debt to multiply.
As we begin to act responsibly, and the smaller their take and controls become, ... the sooner we the people will to achieving the balances needed to retain our rightful and inherited places in this society.

Does someone know how to adjust a monitor screen?

It is an 18.5 flat wide screen and is a little warped looking with a little curve.

Not straight like my old monitor.

Later I'm going to try my old monitor to see if it looks better.

Thanks.

P.S. These new computers are very complicated.

Caspian: Just turn off your computer either before or after connecting your monitor. your computer should automatically calibrate to your monitors optimum settings.
If not, you can opt to use the monitors menu and attempt to manually seek what works for you.
A THIRD OPTION IS TO GO INTO THE SETTINGS IN YOUR COMPUTERS CONTROL PANEL AND CHECK WHAT THOSE SETTINGS ARE ON SO THAT THEY MATCH UP.

Thanks John,

I am using my old monitor now and it seems better but smaller.

I still can't get the printer to work.

I have to call back Verizon later.

I have to rest for a while.

LOL

Technology is killing me.

Sincerely,
Very Frustrated Caspian

Caspian: While you are at it, you had better check first to see if your computer meets with Dubai's new security access requirements. SEE: RIM v Dubai re: Blackberrys security encoding. hahahahaha

How Judge Bolton Undermined Obama:

August 2, 2010

When Judge Susan Bolton granted an injunction halting the enforcement of key provisions of the Arizona immigration enforcement law, she ruled in favor of the Justice Department’s position, but against the president’s political interest.

Had the judge sustained this law, it would have made moot Barack Obama’s opposition to the Arizona law. As it is, she has transformed the law into a big campaign issue against Obama. Now the president is standing in the way of a state that wants to enforce the law that he won’t.

The Arizona law is massively popular in the United States. Over 60 percent of all American voters support it. But the president has sought and has succeeded in stopping it from taking effect. Now this majority — close to two-thirds of the electorate — that backs the law will be able to focus their blame for its non-enforcement squarely on the president of the United States.

In the long term, the Bolton decision will likely be overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, and Arizona will find itself vindicated. But, in the meantime, the decision endangers the re-election chances of three Democratic representatives from Arizona.

Their constituents will not be satisfied with statements from these Democrats supporting the Arizona law. They will become embittered because Obama’s Justice Department has overridden their will.

Why did Obama bring the suit in the first place if it hurts him? Because he was seeking to increase the turnout of Latino voters and trying to win them by the same huge margin (two to one) that they delivered to him in 2008. Since he took office, Obama’s approval among Hispanics has dropped to 54 percent, foreshadowing a massive abandonment of his congressional candidates in November.

But what Obama miscalculated was the intense support from among most voters that the Arizona law has elicited. As he bid for Latino votes, he has sacrificed much of his liberal, Democratic base.

This decision hurts him badly.

Support the (AZ) law? I do not even support the border.

That clearly puts me in a minority, of opinion. On the other hand, minorities of opinion are temporary. The minorities targeted by this mean spirited law are more permanent.

This law is not about the border. It is about the fear of the majority that they may become the minority and, that when that happens, the new majority will do unto them as they did unto them when they were the majority.

Maybe we would all do better to worry about the Golden Rule than the Arizona Law.

"The minorities targeted by this mean spirited law are more permanent."


Mean spirited? Arizona's new law merely emulates the Federal law that has been on the books forever but ignored by the Feds as if it never existed. Arizona is demonstrating to the entire country how our laws are supposed to be enforced. Thank you Arizona and our apologies for our lazy ass politically saturated present Federal Government and Congress.
