mehale You are so right, and yet like fools we keep electing them back into office hoping this time it will be different or better somehow. We need to kick them all out and start over.

mehale Well said. Both parties are at fault. They worry more about making congress a lifetime career than they do fixing what is wrong and doing what is right for our country. Sad but true. On the other hand, we re-elected most of them, so I guess part of the blame...

As if there were not already enough problems facing our fragile economy, with the fiscal cliff fast approaching, now the GOP is vowing a heck of a fight over increasing the debt ceiling next year. According to a CNN article (see...

mehale I will definitely do some research into this, and no I had not heard that. Thanks for the heads up.

mehale True. And it would seem that our elected officials are perfectly content to continue fighting among themselves and forget that we hired them to do a job. I find it harder every day to see how things are ever going to get any better.

mehale True. Unless they get serious about cutting spending things will get worse but I doubt they will. With Obama's re-election they see it as free reign to do whatever they want no matter the cost.

mehale And yes the dems want to spend more.....they think we can spend our way out of this. That needs to stop too, but isn't likely.

mehale I agree with you and also think they want to put this squarely on the GOP. But republicans are not completely without blame. What really bothers me though is the fact that what little negotiations and talks there are keep being held in secret with only Obama...

mehale Debra, thank you as well...these are articles and information I had not seen and am glad to now have. By the way I am not an Obama supporter...I was just confused on the facts. Now I understand why the GOP was so against her and why she bowed out of the...

mehale Thank you for the link! I had not seen this before and therefore had some rather obvious ( at least now ) misconceptions about it. This definitely puts a new light on the subject and makes me understand why the GOP were so against Rice. Hopefully this will...

mehale Good point, and yes America being lied to is a big issue....and while I am by no means trying to defend Obama, I do find myself wondering where the false information actually originated from, and whether Obama's own intelligence might have lied to him and the...

I have tried twice now to install the Cash Gopher software on my new laptop to no avail. I am not sure if it is because it is running Windows 8 or if there is something else wrong. Also the security certificate for the link on...

mehale I have seen several post about it slowing down the computers and earnings being very slow and small. Between that and the warning that Norton popped up with and the site's security certificate being expired I decided I was better not harming my computer and...

mehale I agree with you..I had seen some other posts about it slowing some computers down, but I figured since this was a newer one with a fast processor, etc I would try. But when Norton threw up its warning along with the security certificates being expired I...

mehale I agree with you about it being a total mess. I am still doing some research into the bill and what all it will entail myself. So far I am not any more happy with it than I was when they passed it. I am afraid that this is not what we needed as healthcare...

My other half had an interesting day in Tucson. I call him Buddha Bear--because he is big (6 foot 1, 250 lbs.) and furry--hairy arms, legs, chest and pot belly. So today, he wandered on down to the local military surplus store,...

mehale That is my point exactly. It would seem that we no longer have freedom of speech - at least not if what we say has anything to do about politics. This is sad but true. I agree that he really did not say anything about Obama actually, just the current...

So they announced that Social Security payments would increase by 3.9% in 2013. But they kept pretty quiet about the Medicare fee for Part B going up by 5%. In my case it doesn't quite wipe it out completely but it might for some...

mehale True it is. You would think, especially with the new health care law that maybe they would allow people to drop medicare and get private insurance. It would probably be better than the medicare, but who knows considering the insurance and health care is now...

I hear the left claiming they want to go back to the Clinton days tax rate. Well, if we go back to the Clinton days tax rates, should we not go back to the Clinton days spending? The reason why I say that, is right now we...

mehale Point taken, but that was in 2007 and now days the government is spending more than it was then, so I am not sure that would still hold true.
