Part of the new Defense Budget includes a clause which will ban returning veterans with head injuries or P.T.S.D. from owning firearms. The V.A. is currently required to submit the names of these veterans to the Criminal Background Check System. Supporters of the bill says it will cut down on suicides. Opponents say it will discourage veterans from seeking help. I say that no restriction is ever going to keep anybody from getting a gun.

Nobody cares what you say. Your ignorent.

<quoted text>If greedy corporations like Walmart and Mcdonalds would pay their slave workers a decent wage consumer spending would go up and the economy would improve dramatically. President Obama needs to look into the way these conglomerates treat their employees in the name of obscene profits and pass some legislation, like limiting CEO compensation. They're not going to do it on their own.

Yeah thats sounds great. Lets pay those with no skills even more for the skills that they do not have nor have the motivation to achieve.

<quoted text>An annual "Wealth Tax" on the super rich would fix the economy. Not just a tax in their income, but an annual tax on their wealth too. A 50% inheritance tax would also help and it would keep people like Rmoney, who inherited all his money, from ever getting rich and bankrupting all his companies to get even richer.

More losers clamboring for that which they did not have the intellect or the motivation to achieve themselves.

You f*cking dumbasses have no clue how income taxes are calculated.

Check this one out-

...But the good fortune of one of country's wealthiest men has come at a price: an epic legal battle with his ex-wife that offered an unwelcome look behind the scenes of his lavish lifestyle and, most recently, a brewing insider trading scandal capable of toppling his empire.

Last week, federal authorities arrested Mathew Martoma, a former portfolio manager at an affiliate of the Stamford, Conn.-based firm owned by Cohen, on charges he used illegal tips about an experimental Alzheimer's drug to net more than $276 million for his fund and others....

Court papers don't name Cohen and federal authorities won't discuss their investigation of him. But they also haven't disputed reports that Cohen is the "Hedge Fund Owner" repeatedly referenced in a criminal complaint against Martoma, marking the first time they have directly linked Cohen to a long-running probe of his firm, SAC Capital Advisors.

The papers describe how Cohen rejected the advice of his own analysts and instead bet heavily on Martoma's tips about secret data from a study of the experimental drug. After learning through Martoma in 2008 that experiments weren't going well, Cohen instructed his top trader to begin dumping stock, "and to do so in a way to not alert anyone else," the papers say....

Big pharma should be capped and limited-and held accountable for everything they suck off of other people. And crooked dollar grubbing hedge fund managers should be capped and chained right along with them.

So why would a CEO who loses money still get a performance bonus?

Is there some 'skill' involved in losing money?

If you ever held a management position (above that of say a fast food restaurant) you would know that especially at the CEO level and similar their bonuses are part of their contract. It’s negotiated at the time they are hired.

The skill of being subjected to the IGNORANCE of greed.

McDonalds heck--at the rate of joblessness in this economy, they'll be lucky to see cans laying around for the pickin'.

On the bright side, that would be a plus in the environMentalist arenas--nothing worse than trash slung out any/everywhere, like the earth is anyone's personal garbage can.(sorry arse grabage tossing sloths-rich or poor---sorry arses!!!!)

Raising the taxes on the wealthiest is only one part of the equation you simple minded twit.
We also need to invest in infrastructure like roads and bridges that are necessary for commerce. Each $1 invested in infrastructure returns $1.44 to the GDP.

Investment in education and research also have positive returns on investment whereas tax cuts for the wealthiest are a drain on the economy. At least when you put extra money in middle class workers' pockets which Obama did,they spend it and stimulate demand and growth.

Another moran who thinks the 'rich' keeps there money in a vault in the basement. Where do you people come from?

Not just CEO's.

Ask any NON-union, non BAILED-out FORD type dept manager that sucked it up and took the LOSSES right in their own pockets--alll the way back down to minimum wage for double and triple time duties--all through the recessive auto economy!

The CEO Bankruptcy Bonus

Firms Sidestep Rule Limiting Rewards for Executives

.....in the past few years, some corporations have found perfectly legal ways to escape federal strictures on bonus pay during bankruptcy cases.

Companies now craft "incentive" plans—rewards that put their compensation programs outside the 2005 law's purview. These plans pay executives if they hit certain performance targets, including exiting bankruptcy protection quickly.

The Justice Department often objects to these plans, as do labor unions angered by the juxtaposition of bonuses for executives with cuts to rank-and-file jobs and benefits.

The programs you're wailing about equal 5% of the military budget.
Social Security has nothing to do with the budget deficit, you ignoramous.
Really, stay stupid. It's why your Party is headed for the trash heap.
70% of Americans support raising the marginal income tax rate 3%, and raising capital gains rate 5%.
Since you're so obsessed with plans, what's Bonehead's plan, anyway?

We also support CAPPING, CURBING and BUDGETING the overburdened, over-funded entitleMENTAL programs of fweerding handouts for contributing NOTHING!!!!

Clinton's Debacle in Bosnia
by Marshall Freeman Harris

In December 1995 the Clinton Administration ended the fighting in Bosnia- Herzegovina. Proud of what was perceived as one of his few foreign policy successes, President Clinton announced that, under the US-brokered Dayton Peace Accords,'refugees will be allowed to return to their homes'. He continued:'People will be able to move freely throughout Bosnia, and the human rights of every Bosnian citizen will be monitored by an independent commission and an internationally trained civilian police force. Those individuals charged with war crimes will be excluded from political life.' None of these things have happened. As a result, Bosnia is being partitioned into three ethnically pure mini-states.

The non-implementation of the civilian side of the Accords leaves hundreds of thousands of Bosnia's 2.2. million displaced persons aggrieved. In addition, three major strategic regions of the country are left indecisively addressed or unresolved: Gorazde is left militarily indefensible, Sarajevo militarily exposed, and Brcko subject to a future arbitration agreement. The refusal of US and other foreign troops in the NATO-led International Implementation Force (IFOR) to facilitate the Accords' key civilian aspects - including the return of refugees, the apprehension of war criminals and the conduct of free and fair elections - exponentially increases the risk that one of these potential flash points will ignite.
