Just because they elect their leaders does not mean they are Democracy. Israel flies in the face of the values of Democracy and Freedom but strangling the Palestinians liberty, human rights and economy.
A clearer example of hypocrisy could not be found.
You can't logically refute your hypocrisy without referring to a religion that only you believe in.
Awful. If the jury finds that the facts are as this story reports, the couple has a right to recover their losses. Yes, investing involves risk but anyone familiar with trading and investment knows that "ultrashort" inverse funds are VERY risky. Investing in those instruments after the couple said they want to invest conservatively is recklessness on the part of the bank, and I bet it can be shown that it was done in bad faith (it wasn't a mistake, it was intentional)
This is a prime example of "double dipping". Their salaries are going down for the remainder of the contract, but they are making money from their pensions because they "retired". They technically have two salaries now for the same job, completely gaming the system.
Anyone notice Paul Ryan is saying the things our Tim Ryan and Obama have been fighting for, just to appease the crowd?
Paul voted AGAINST the Chinese currency manipulation bill offered by Tim Ryan. Now he's telling the people of Youngstown he wants to fight for that issue?
It's whichever way the wind blows with Romney and Paul Ryan.
With the use of our tax dollars, Israel also subsidizes emergency services and education for these colonists living illegally on Palestinian land. Not to mention Israeli soldiers are allowed to have up to two abortions, fully paid for by the military. I have trouble knowing that our tax dollars might help subsidize this. And arrogantly slapping the U.S. in the face is right - at the exact same time VP Joe Biden was giving a speech in Israel, the Israeli Government announced the expansion of illegal colonies in Arab East Jerusalem. Talk about disrespect - not just for the Palestinians, but for the Americans!
The tax base peaked in january 2006, 3 years before obama.
Every economic indicator - the purchasing managers index, new home sales, existing home sales, housing prices, real incomes, consumer sentiment, consumer confidence, capital expenditures by corporations - are ALL trending upward. Except unemployment, which is trending down.
Unfortunately, employment isn't returning as soon as we'd like - but give it time, employment is a lagging indicator.
To say the stimulus hasn't worked is a lie.
The stimulus should have been bigger. We can easily afford to pay the interest on $1T in debt.
Imagine an economy without the stimulus. We'd have calculated unemployment of 30% as opposed to 9.7%.
So get your facts straight.
And to say our Valley is being "destroyed" by Tim Ryan is narrow minded.
In the last year, we've had the largest jump in manufacturing in the nation.
In the last year, we've had one of the largest declines in unemployment in the nation.
Also -
Employee stock ownership plans, public schools, emergency services and newly paved roads are all "socialist".
Did your kids go to public school?
Do you have ownership in the company you work for? ESOP companies out perform non ESOP companies.
The Delphi salaried retirees never supported Congressman Ryan but he went so far as to write a letter to Obama requesting he help save their retirements.
He could have easily said, screw you guys. But he didn't turn his back on them. He didn't turn his back on a group of constituents that never even supported him.
That's atypical of a "politician" and quite frankly, admirable.
Obviously, this story has highlighted the Congressman's memorable quotes. For what politician don't they do that for?
Tim Ryan gave an amazing speech yesterday with pretty substantive points. Paulb, exactly correct: we are at a seed stage still - but the business development that has occurred in the area has been unprecedented and unlike anything the Valley has seen in years.
With current and pending construction under way, over 1,000 building trades jobs will be created over the next 18 months.
350 jobs may not seem like a lot, but think about it. Say each has an after-tax take home pay of $21,000. That's $21,000 in disposable income that is being pumped into the Valley.
350 x $21,000 = $7,350,000 of DISPOSABLE INCOME IN THE MAHONING VALLEY.
What's the number one way to stimulate the economy? Consumption.
Revere Data of San Fransisco just moved their research team from New Dehli, India, to Youngstown, OH.
Is this not enough to appease the naysayers? This is called the turning point - you are witnessing it - and you are being too impatient.
Rome wasn't built in a day, and turning the Valley into a prosperous economic Valley won't happen in a day either. But we've further in the last 8 years with Tim Ryan than we did with the political corruption of the 80s and 90s combined.
Israel visit was significant

2 Mahoning school superintendents to retire-rehire in new year

Rick Perry is a dangerous guy
For anyone that thinks FOX news shows both sides, they're sadly mistaken.
Watch these:
Carl Cameron flat out lies about Obama's health care speech to Congress:
http://www.dailykostv.com/w/002130/
Fox news misreports TARP savings:
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002393/
Fox news refused to air President Obama's speech. Here's what they aired instead:
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002161/
Fox news: "We're the only place you won't see Barack Obama on health care..."
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/002167/
...Fox got the news story wrong (again):
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/001154/
Fox falsely claims DOW fell 56 points during Obama's speech:
http://www.dailykos.com/tv/w/001041/
Go ahead, you Fox junkies, and call me out on the website I'm sourcing. DailyKos completely left-wing... but the news clips, my friends... don't lie.

Graham, Ryan clash on Pelosi, stimulus
How so?
In one instance of the retiree situation-
The Delphi salaried retirees never supported Congressman Ryan but he went so far as to write a letter to Obama requesting he help save their retirements.
He could have easily said, screw you guys. But he didn't turn his back on them. He didn't turn his back on a group of constituents that never even supported him.
