Obama gives progressives the finger and switches political parties
phreakwars replied to phreakwars's topic in Off Topic
IWS, if those article links you posted are accurate.. WHERE ARE THE JOBS? If that was accurate, Obama wouldn't have had a mess to deal with in the first place. If that were accurate, Obama wouldn't even have gotten elected.. But first and foremost... WHERE ARE ALL THOSE GREAT TRICKLE DOWN JOBS? The proof is in the pudding, not in the opinion pieces. Where is all the great wealth the cuts created? . . -

He's lying his ass off. It WON'T help the American people, it will only benefit the rich and of course, cost us money that we will be lending from China to pay for it all. If those tax breaks the rich are supposedly so damn great, how come they never worked for the 8 years Bush was in office? Obama is nothing but a god damn sell out and I hope Democrats primary his ass out. . . -

Wikileaks is just doing the job real reporters should have been doing for years. It just seems real funny to me how the whistle blowers are demonized more then the guys who have committed the heinous acts Wikileaks has reported on. Why is that? . .

Newly elected teabagger demands his free government health care
phreakwars replied to phreakwars's topic in Off Topic
Federal employees don't get government run health care. They pick from a pool of plans by private insurance companies. You mean like OBAMACARE? . . -
Newly elected teabagger demands his free government health care

Yeah right, this guy wants his GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTHCARE, right now!! If they were TRULY against government run care, they would forfeit their own. . . -
A conservative Maryland physician elected to Congress on an anti-Obamacare platform surprised fellow freshmen at a Monday orientation session by demanding to know why his government-subsidized health care plan takes a month to kick in. Republican Andy Harris, an anesthesiologist who defeated freshman Democrat Frank Kratovil on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, reacted incredulously when informed that federal law mandated that his government-subsidized health care policy would take effect on Feb. 1 – 28 days after his Jan. 3rd swearing-in. “He stood up and asked the two ladies who were answering questions why it had to take so long, what he would do without 28 days of health care,” said a congressional staffer who saw the exchange. The benefits session, held behind closed doors, drew about 250 freshman members, staffers and family members to the Capitol Visitors Center auditorium late Monday morning,”. “Harris then asked if he could purchase insurance from the government to cover the gap,” added the aide, who was struck by the similarity to Harris’s request and the public option he denounced as a gateway to socialized medicine.

From: http://washingtonindependent.com/81684/the-futility-of-budget-cuts Today, an Economist/YouGov poll making the rounds shows that Americans would vastly prefer budget cuts to new taxes — by 62 percent to 5 percent. The poll goes on to ask Americans which government spending programs they would choose to cut: “If government spending is reduced in order to balance the budget, which of the following government programs should receive lower federal funding than they currently do?” (Respondents could pick more than one thing to axe.) Here is how they responded: [attach=full]3056[/attach] The most expendable programs, according to poll takers, were mass transit, housing, agriculture, environment and foreign aid, the runaway winner at 71 percent. The problem? These programs together barely comprise 3 percent of the federal budget. Even if the programs were entirely eliminated, the cuts would do nothing to solve the United States’ long-term entitlement program. Indeed, the responses had no obvious correlation with spending size. The red bars in this graph indicate expenditures in the various areas: [attach=full]3057[/attach] The poll highlights the conundrum: Americans want to solve the long-term deficit program and want the federal government to run a balanced budget. They are willing to make budget cuts. But the government cannot cut enough from discretionary programs to bring the budget into check and ultimately to reduce the deficit. (Half of Americans still believe the government can.) Entitlement programs — Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security — are at the heart of the problem, with spending growth in health care programs the single biggest culprit. The lone solution — save for politically improbable radical spending cuts to defense, health care programs and social security — is tax hikes. Most economists agree on the point, reiterated strongly by Fed Chair Ben Bernanke in a speech yesterday. But the promise of tax increases is hardly a savvy campaign platform, and it will be up to members of Congress to sell the necessity and prudence of tax hikes to an economically distressed citizenry.

Actually, the best job in the world is where you can buy a congressman and have him vote for a pay raise/tax cut for you by convincing the peon's the tax cuts would be good for them and having them vote for him.. . .

Most computer manufacturers do this to save cost. Personally, I don't like that method. The reason for it, is to restore your system back to a factory state should the need ever arise. Usually you would tap the f10 key or something similar during boot to bring up the recovery partition. From there it will allow you to restore your hard drive using the provided image to what it was set to at the factory. Some PC's are built so that you have to enable the recovery partition in BIOS and THEN tap the appropriate key. The reason this saves the manufacturer money, is they don't need to package in an OS disc or any additional software. All they do is take up a nice chunk of the main hard drives space and fill that with the needed software instead. The reason I don't like that method, is it does NOTHING for you, should the hard drive go into complete failure. A smarter thing to do, would take that same recovery partition and copy it onto a usb thumb drive or even an SD card, create a bootable CD/Thumb drive with ghosting software and save it somewhere away from the PC. Personally, on mine, I run 5 hard drives. 2 in RAID mode for Windows 7/Windows XP, 1 for Ubuntu/MAC OSX (yes, I can QUAD boot on mine), and 1 for data. The other one is an external drive that mirrors the backup data drive. . .
