Must have been.

Or it was the norm.

Ya, what an incredibly stupid statement! If you found school to be a bad investment, that is YOUR FAULT! You will get out of it what you put in!

How would it be my fault? I showed up. I came ready to "learn".

You don't learn in school. Public schooling is a joke. The teachers even know this.

If it was it underscores my point even better.

That people should put money into something that doesn't work?

US Dept of Labor

The majority of the debt is owed to banks within our own borders. And since you like facts and sources so much here ya go Link

Yea sure facts no problem at all. Wall Street Journal

Yes mate looks like now we can see the score. Keep thinking your riding the high horse of colonial times, but the fact of the matter is, it's the era of the Yanks and we don't plan on passing the crown any time soon.

This is such absolute Bull, Median household income in the U.S. as of 2006, (latest Data Available), was $48,201, about $3000.00 more than the beginning of his term. Clinton had about the same growth in his first 6 years. Here's the big difference. Ready for it?

Clinton didn't have 2 planes slam into the middle of our Financial District, completely wreaking the economy for 2 years. As a matter of Fact, the guy that caused all this, Bin Laden. It turns out Clinton had SEVERAL chances to take him out, but he failed to act, because he was too busy fraking his interns.

America is not a Socialist country, this is why the only democrats who ever win, are democrats who SOUND like Republicans (Hello Bill Clinton - Low taxes, Free Trade, Welfare Reform, Era of Big Government Over - Sounds Republican).

52 Months Job Growth, OK, take your pick, there's the Commerce Dept. There's Reuters, there's the White House, there's the NY Times... Shall I go on?

As for the Deficit, it's less than 20% of our spending, the biggest problem is that since the 1970's we've increased spending a bit over 13 Fold. While Net inflows of cash to the government has grown slightly less than 13 fold. I go into detail on there on my website.

As for the Poor in this country, Well there's an article here by the Heritage foundation
Here's some quotes from that Article:
* Forty-three percent of all poor households actually own their own homes. The average home owned by persons classified as poor is a three-bedroom house with one-and-a-half baths, a garage and a porch or patio.
* Eighty percent of poor households have air conditioning. By contrast, in 1970, only 36 percent of the entire U.S. population enjoyed air conditioning.
* Six percent of poor households are considered overcrowded; two-thirds have more than two rooms per person.
* The typical poor American has more living space than the average individual living in Paris, London, Vienna, Athens and other European cities. (These comparisons are to the average citizens in foreign countries, not to those classified as poor.)
* Nearly three-quarters of poor households own a car; 31 percent own two or more cars.
* Ninety-seven percent of poor households have a color television; over half own two or more color televisions.
* Seventy-eight percent have a VCR or DVD player; 62 percent have cable or satellite TV reception.
* Eighty-nine percent own microwave ovens, more than half have a stereo, and a more than a third have an automatic dishwasher.

Here's another one by the American Enterprise Online.

And then of course there's the in depth analysis done by the Swedish Think Tank Timbro, it's long at 49 pages, but one of he most eye opening things that I've read in a long time.

So you see, it is I that is far more informed than you. You can continue to live as you have with your head buried in the sand, or you can choose to open your eyes and take a peek at the links, but don't blame me if you can't sleep at night because your entire world view has just been shattered.
