Things got a little better in the hopes of better government, but we are on the slide back down. The economy isn't getting any better, it is getting worse. The oil pipe line helps our business and we are tired of waiting. We are a tooling manufacture and have been forced to buy overseas steel because with the unfair trade we can't afford to buy American steel anymore. (the overseas steel is crap compared to the U.S. steel we used to use). This also hurts us because then our product isn't as good as it shoud be. We can say the raises we have gotten over the last 3 years is really a bust because insurance, gas, and the general economy have risen more than the wage. The current system ISN'T working. They asked for change, they got it. If I could change halfway back I'd be happy.
As someone pointed out it is working, if that really the case, then you really can't say it isn't just because it hasn't reach you yet.
Obama wants to keep jobs in the US by giving more benefits to the ones keeping jobs here and less to outsourcing like getting rid of tax cuts for outing business. Romney is planning to "crack down on China" (how he is going to do that idk) without doing what Obama trying to do. Not sure if Romney would actually do so or even can crack down on China even more then we already are without receiving some kind of negative backlash.

About the gas, not saying if it is his fault or not, but it about time we stop relying on it so much. If was can get enough cleaner/green energy resources to run then wouldn't need to rely on outside gas and would be less damaging of the environment.

So, you want to go back to when it was worse?

As for GM the only reason they are doing better is because the Government buys a significant amount of their cars.
Proof?

I drove an American car all my life till 4 years ago. I'd never buy another American car again after buying my Toyota Camry Hybrid. Best car I ever owned and I have owned a LOT of American cars.
So, you talk about unfair trade and yet, you are buying cars not from America?

Though I do not agree with everything Romney says I'll be voting for him. I'm giving Romney a shot.
How can you agree with him on anything and vote for him when he flip flops and lies so much?

Looks like Mitt just cut his first Hip Hop album.
LMFAO!!!! :rofl2:
I got binders full of women and women hands full of binders! :D B-)

Unless it's one of the very first Camry Hybrids (made before Oct 2006), his car was made in America, just not by UAW.


Just backtracking a bit, I suppose I'll surprise some here by coming down on the side of funding PBS. As others have noted it's not even a drop in the bucket of the federal budget, and serves a worthy purpose. On the other hand, trying to make it out as "killing Big Bird" is ridiculous - Sesame Street hauls in millions a year on licensed toys, clothing, etc. The CEO of Sesame Workshop makes about a million a year. The guy in the Big Bird suit makes over $300k a year, and other "puppeteers" for Sesame Street make more than that, some over a half million. Sesame Street takes only a token amount of PBS' federal funding and could easily make it in private broadcasting (and a few years back, a Sesame Street themed show was one of the most popular programs on Noggin, before it turned into Nick Jr., so they've already played around with it some).

If anyone wanted a good watch, Barack Obama on the Daily Show. Funny stuff and good conversation.


I'll try to find time to watch it later after work. I assume that's the interview where Obama's use of "not optimal" is being used by Republicans to generate faux outrage, just like the Democrats are using "binders full of women" against Romney.

I enjoyed both of these clips from the Al Smith dinner last night. They both did well, both made me laugh a lot. I don't know if the clips will embed correctly but if not you can find them at mediaite. (edit: nvm, mediaite clips are better quality but I found the same on YT)

No it's the actual Barack Obama talking to Jon Stewart. Stewart is a really good interviewer and it's quite interesting.

It was a 2009 model but it was made in West Virginia. I had plenty of time to research before I bought it. Toyota uses American steel to build these. They use more American steel than the American car companies do. They even built a whole learning facility down there for the families in the factories to educate their kids as well. And the 2 main reasons I bought it is one because it is a hybrid and I drive about 300 miles a week for work (cut my gas bill in half compared to the 17mpg I was getting on my Lincoln Town Car), and the second reason was the quality of the car was better than any other American car I have had in the past (This was my First foreign car.) And even now 75 thousand miles later I have had ZERO problems with the car from purchasing NEW.
