Addendum: I don't agree with most social programs, but it is funny you mentioned Denmark as a "failed" example of socialism at work. During my pursuit of a Physics degree the department chair was Danish. Very friendly guy and loved to brag about his country, but never explained why he was over here in the US

i didnt say it was a failed example. just an example. i love the fact that one day i may beable to own a twin tubro lambo. in denmark your chances are very slim.

I think Obama caused at least half of the national debt in the short time he was in office....

i've heard that and its not true. Bush and those mongoloids bombed the middle east and spent over 5 trillion in his term. he made a bunch of people very wealthy on the tax payers money. same with obama. hes giving the money to the insurance corporations and the middle east where hes from. at least bush spend alot of military. i dont know what the **** obama did with our money. i guess he gave his people money and they gonna go buck wild now.

****** funded isis. dumb *****..

btw bush spent 5 trillion and so did obama. but honestly its irrevlant becasue there are a few people that play puppet master.

this guy went for 1million to 10 billion. i think he can get the right people around him to do the job. hes a great leader and thinker. that why hes toying wth the media and the press and making people shake in there boots.cant stump the trump.

the presidents job is to lead get the right people around you to make things work.

Denmark isn't a bad place to live but your going to live a average life making an average amount of money working for 1/2 of the money you earn. but they have a free market and limited gov.. that the only reason it works and trust me the rich over there are very rich and even fewer than here. even then they pay out there *** in taxes. but the corporate tax is 25% where in the USA its 40%. this allows more growth and a higher wages!

the real problem is the greedy government here. its stupid. politicians say ill create jobs raise the corporate tax and income tax and consumption tax and put 4 people on a 2 man job, pay prevailing wages and put the rest in there pockets.

how many times you see 5 people and only 2 working on a state or government job? hello!

i do agree on the inflation and credit system its destine to fail sooner or later.

Well you are free to your opinion. "Democracy" at work! My epitome of a self made man is Andrew Carnegie, so I have a hard time mustering any respect for Trump. I just feel Trump was born with the right daddy in the right decade. I'll give him credit he had the chance to squander what he had, but also remember not many people get the opportunity to start out so well ahead of the game and likely well groomed from a young age.

I agree our government is too ungainly. It's ridiculous the amount of money just spent towards the bureaucratic capacity. Too many people are eating off the government cheese wheel to make a worthwhile restructuring easy.

Oh well. I hope you find some other comparable employment soon OP. It's not a fun situation to be in especially with children. Hopefully you have a bit saved up?

trump to me is a stand up guy because he is the american dream. his dad worked his *** off and helped his son. and he is doing the same. most kids would have ruined the family name trump is disciplined and a leader just like his dad.

trust me i've made my fair share of money. i just grew up ruff. my dad had a decent job but we lived check to check. thing is im smart enough not to need his help and i can do anything i want but i made some bad decisions early on messing around in the street to make money.

i changed a few years ago and karma found her way back. if i would have been on hte stright and narrow like trump id be rich. but im not really the type to save money i enjoy myself and all of my family and friends NEVER go without.

Just a heads up more money was given to the defense budget under Obama than under GW...I don't know where you're getting your facts. Mine are here. Page 153 to save you the effort of wading through the info.

Also here's the most current version. It does dip a bit towards the end, but still the majority of the Obama administration has seen larger military spending than under Bush.

US Debt by President: By Dollar and Percent

its kinda of hard to believe some on the numbers but these are kind fool proof. he only increased it 43% not by far the worst but its still a great deal of money.

 

[Papermaker85 5,000+ posts]

fact of the matter is we simply cannot afford to spend this much money. i can only imagine if we didnt have the steel and natural resources we have. we wouldn't exist

ye and osha is gettin contacted tomarrow as well for their many safety hazards.
prime example.

ne of the 10 ton over head cranes trolly rail where the trolly moves north or south was cracked.. so you know what they did? grinded it down for 2 days welded it and grinded it again then re sprayed the whole beam to make it look like nothing was wrong.

better believe osha is gunna hear about that. plus extension cord all over the floors, oil on the floors, un liscensed crane operators etc. they hire in people and stick a crane remote in their hand. 10 ton crane is given ful opportunity to a person that has never used a crane n their life. dude almost killed himself 3 times by losing 12000 pound bars. plus a kid slipped on oil and hit hit face on a freshly centerless grinded tube. cut him like the ******* joker. 300 stitches in his face 6 inches long from his crease in his mouth to his ear.

you could see his whole left side of his upper and lower teeth through the side of his face.

Every single place first priority should be safety then production. At my job, within the last month we had 6 serious injuries...and it's because people don't think 1st before doing it. Or too much in a hurry. Not because of faulty equipment, which gets checked quite often.

I wouldn't wanna work there after hearing a long list of people getting seriously hurt. That should have been a wake up call to management, hell even supervisors.

Wouldn't surprise me if that place got shut down until things were fixed to make it a safe working environment. That tells me they don't care.

I'm quitting my job at Kmart and applying at a local battery shop that's hiring. I know a few people who work there. It's where I got my battery bank from.
There are always jobs open. They might not be the ones you want to do, but I hate when people say they can't find a job. I'm not even 18 yet and I've had several real jobs.

bro that's my favorite place to shop at, kmart. I get all my clothes from there, I love the clothes they have there and the price.

Since Kmart is a "real" job.

Pretty sure it's real. He goes and does work and gets a pay check.. Seems real to me

Yes

I hope you''re joking. Trump is full of hot air and empty promises...Bankruptcy is not quite the loophole it is for corporations when you're a country.

I hope you don't vote for bernie sanders

I think Obama caused at least half of the national debt in the short time he was in office....

Yep, paying for all your phones //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

This country is becoming socialist more and more everyday...The Government should fear the people not the people fearing their own government....

So true

bro that's my favorite place to shop at, kmart. I get all my clothes from there, I love the clothes they have there and the price.

Kmart is the worst place to get clothes, lol. They're cheap-quality, ugly, and have high price tags.

Pretty sure it's real. He goes and does work and gets a pay check.. Seems real to me

Yeah. It's a year-round job, I get paid, I pay taxes, I think that's a real job.
