AGAIN I'm gonna respond to my own post cuz Brenda Ann and Brian D.
shouldn't be
given the right to vote!!!! These two swallow the lies the media feeds
them and
can't think for themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!


My, what a rude little cretin you are.

For starters, I do not buy into everything the media says, in fact, I tend
not to buy much of it at all, this stemming from the experience of the
Reagan shooting, where our press (predominantly ABC) had him everything from
uninjured to dead.. so much for accuracy of the press.

Next, though it's true I do not like Bush, for many reasons, I do not blame
the economy on him. I mean, get real, the president really doesn't have
squat to do with the economy. He does not set stock prices, he does not set
profit levels or influence consumer spending. The economy is out of his
control (this goes for both Republican AND Democratic presidents).

A goodly number of people can't pass the postal exam??? First of all, I
don't
believe it because I know a young woman at our post office who passed it
at 95%
and she didn't even know Hawaii is our 50th state!!!! (Remember those
wonderful
state stamps that were recently marketed by the USPS?? She told us that
she
couldn't understand why Hawaii was included in those stamps!!!!) Now is
that my
problem or George W.'s problem that some schmuck is too moronic to pass
the
HIGHLY simple postal civil service exam???? NO!!!!

If anybody could pass a Civil Service exam, then they most likely would not
have them. And with our education system in the condition it's in, there
are a LOT of folks who can't read the exam questions, let alone answer them.
I'm afraid the problems with the education system can be blamed upon two
generations of politicians (mostly Democrats, but enough Republicans to let
it all slide) who let social workers and pshrinks tell us how to raise our
kids. I know it's not politically correct, but dammit, when we could still
spank our kids, they didn't take guns to school to blow away their
classmates, or knife someone to take their sneakers.

If you want a good job, get an education!! Times have changed. In case
you
haven't noticed, we've become a high-tech society. To work high-tech and
get
the high-tech, high wages, you need high-er EDUCATION!! My teenager is
going
high tech: engineering. He works at a "burger joint" where he USED TO work
minimum wage, but since he's proven to be a well rounded, dependable and
hard
working indiividual....he's now making almost TWICE the minimum wage.
This has
allowed him to pay for his college education!!!

Payed for college on $12 an hour?? Who was he living with? Who was paying
his bills? Our household pulls in $70,000 net per year, and, although some
things are much more expensive here (electricity alone runs upwards of $700
a month during the summer), most is comparable to stateside costs, and we do
buy a lot of toys, and help people out as much as we can, but we don't get
to save a lot. Certainly could not afford college, even a community college
is out of our budget. And are you aware that over 20% (I don't recall the
exact figure) of working people in the US are trying to live off of less
than $25,000 a year? Perhaps in some economically depressed states like
Mississippi or Arkansas or Oklahoma, where rents are much lower, but in most
cities rent alone would eat up about half (or more) of that..


Yes...I've been unemployed before, SEVERAL times. And actually HOMELESS,
living
out of my car!!! (That was right after the GLORY Jimmy Carter years....a
D E M
O C R A T !!) You pull yourself up by your bootstraps and move on! You
don't
sit at home and whine, cry and bitch and blame your President when it's
something YOU can take care of YOURSELF!! NOBODY is suppose to find a job
FOR
YOU!! I live in a state that is SUPPOSE to have one of these so-called
high
unemployment rates. But again, I see HELP WANTED signs from the USPS
(LOCAL job
postings!!!) to factories to McDonalds!

Again, anyone blaming any president, or even CONgress, for that matter, for
the state of the economy, is out of line, no matter the party. There are
just too many market forces applied for such a small group of people, and
certainly any one person, to make much of a dent. The biggest dynamic
involves US and BUSINESS. I would have to guess that if any entity or group
of entities has more overall influence upon the economy, it would be the
trade unions. It is largely the trade unions that have caused the
outsourcing of jobs in the US, and the pricing out of the market of US goods
due to the artificially high wages of many jobs (I can't believe that
someone gets paid $35 an hour to put windshield wipers on on an assembly
line).


But I suppose some of you are too good and want to start right at the top
as
CEO's LOLOLOLOL!!!! Brenda Ann, CEO. Brian Denley, CEO. Has a funny
ring to
it, doesn't it. LOLOLOLOL!!!

FYI, I wouldn't WANT to be a CEO.. I wouldn't want to have a reputation of
being a crook, as is the case of so many such, at least in the public's
perception lately.... I would rather keep my reputation for being an honest
person who still cares about the customer..
