Better watch it. They are talking about cutting back on
the food stamp program. It might be back to catfood
for you.

You are certainly correct Uncle, this president doesnt care about the
poor, only his rich friends.

They're just doing that to keep up with the USPS rate increase because
they have the opportunity to get away with it

I think they're just trying to deal with higher fuel prices. One of my
regional delivery services, Lone Star Overnight, now adds a "Fuel
Surcharge" to all deliveries. It's about $1.50 to $2.00 for a run of
about 180 miles.

The rates can't go down, because the economy keeps inflating.
The inflation rate may be slow, 1% to 5% per year, but it is
inflating none the less.

Everyone wants their salaries to keep rising, so ...


yeah thats the ticket. salaries are skyrocketing so fast its causing
inflation.....

Whether or not I voted for Bush is of course, immaterial. Do you

It is rare for a person's wages to go down.

Bull**** -- to the extent that wages don't rise with
inflation, they're going down. Except for the employees at the top,
whose wages go up even as the company goes down the toilet.

There's also the well-known model of "encouraging the
employees to work another 10% of hours per week. Of course it's
voluntary, but guess what -- it'll be "noticed" the next time the
paltry "raise" comes around.

They become such spiteful
unhappy campers when that happens that companies would rather lay them
off than lower their wages.

Silly **** -- if you don't know what happened in the past,
you'll never know how badly you're getting screwed in the present. I
guess you'd be happy to forget each day how much you made yesterday so
they can continue dropping your wages.

Lazy dont gotta worry about wages, he's retired. Old Lazy's gotta worry
about the President trying to steal his social Security and Pension and
give it to all the Prez's rich friends......

Ole Lazy's also gotta worry about his grandsons getting killed in Iraq too.

Lazy Senior

Iraq, geez, when will we learn???

I just heard that the war has cost every taxpayer about $27,000. That will
have to be paid off over how many years now of deficits and cuts in
services?

It just makes me so mad that we let W (and mainly Cheney and Rumsfeld, who
had been planning this war since before their days in Bush Sr.'s term) run
us into this. I had a "No War" sign on my lawn from the start... so, I can
speak, not like the "hindsight" hawks.

Imagine if we had gone in there with massive infrastructure improvements.
Iraquis would sure be on our side, we wouldnt have lost 2000+ men, nor
would we have killed 20K+ of them. What a disaster, morally, economically,
and ultimately, for years to come, for our homeland security. Our image in
the world is ****. Those tribes done forget like we do a few years later!
Anyone hear from Osama lately? NO, he's smart. Smarter than us. He'll be
back, maybe 5-8 years from now when our $1.98 security is in full force.
