How would you balance the budget?

I missed the part about that min wage applying to <18-year-olds only.

That is who it affects (hurts) the most, although it benefits no one.

YES THATS ALL THE GOVT IS SUPPOSED TO DO.


We are founded on the ideas that we are Created Equal, and all have the opportunity, to succeed. But the implied caveat to that is RESULTS MAY VARY. We are not all entitled to equal results. What you expect from the govt is the latter everyone being equal (ie Marxism) , come on man even h0lmes is starting to get it.

While you may not have specifically mentioned one idealism or another, the under tones of that post shine though like the sun after a storm.

yupppp.

Got it 51% I'm sure I screwed someone but this whole country is getting screwed consistently the past 10 years they should be used to it.

$663bil for 2010... I guess rounding up from $77.XXmil inflated it more than I predicted.

And yet it still wasnt our largest line item.

You fucking disgust me.

Hey, get the dildo out of your ass, put aside your own "beliefs" and check out what sex with multiple, paid for strangers, does to a woman. And don't give me this, "well there are lots of women that do it that are fine and only a small minority that don't". Those are peoples daughters, mothers, aunts, etc, etc...

You speak so liberally with how you feel it's just viewed in a poor light and given legalization it would change into a reputable profession? That's a sick worldview. It's not looked on with disdain because it's illegal, it's because it's a sad state when you have little to no self respect that you're willing to sell your body as a toy, an object, for money. C'mon, I get that you feel it's their choice and blame it all on the "Christian Right", but it's looked on with disdain because it's disdainfully viewed on a much larger scale than that.

You think it's all sucking cock for $40.00 a suck all day long and then go home, get some steaks on the grill and spend time with your family? Fucking niave if you truly believe that.

Now tell us how you really feel

well so much for that whole not judging others thing.

The gov't is funny. We do not need a helping hand at every step. We have put ourselves in this position, but we need to work our way out.

I believe that women in this country look at prostitution with such disdain just because it is illegal. There are other countries in the world where the profession is legalized and regulated, and it is looked upon very differently--much more acceptable. I think if prostitution were to become a legal profession in this country, you would see more women voluntarily entering the trade.

Patently false. Even in Amsterdam, women who are part of the legalized and regulated sex industry (sex tourism), are still subject to suffering from organized crime.

Same with Germany and Spain.

I got it down to 51% without throwing old people out on the streets.

The other thing I would do is enact a Flat Tax.
