During the election season, tea party activists declared deficit-reduction one of their primary goals. The nation is swimming in red ink, they noted, posing a huge burden for generations to come. So I’m waiting for those tea party activists to mount a huge protest over the tax deal between President Obama and Republicans. It is expected to cost $858 billion over ten years. Where’s that tea party protest? Are they headed to Washington to denounce the deal, as they did repeatedly with the health care plan — which will lower the deficit over ten years? Yes, there are other things in the deal besides tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. But extending the tax cuts for all Americans for two years cost $675.2 billion. Extending them for the richest Americans — along with generous cuts to the estate tax — will cost about $50 billion over two years. Are the tea partiers at all concerned about that? Then were the ethanol subsidies, which most reasonable people agree are a spectacular waste of government resources — a giveaway to corn farmers. But farm state legislators wanted ethanol subsides included in the package, and they are there. Any day now, I’m sure, tea partiers will gather on the Mall to protest this big addition to the national deficit. Any of you have your bags packed for the party?

Yeah, it's a big agricultural area. Gorge at George (about a 30 minute drive from Moses Lake): Oh yes, there is one other thing I do remember that would be part of history from that area, you could probably find it online. I was one of the first to climb aboard, and tour the 1969 Boeing 747, right off the assembly line...lol This area is well known for it's Hangers, tho I don't think the Air Force uses the place much anymore.

Your tag line, ""It's very important to remember the law is not simply what powerful people would want others to believe it is." -- Julian Assange" Is a REAL hoot! It is EXACTLY BASS ACKWARDS WRONG! Because without the rule of LAW, the rule that your hero the messiah "king" obammy has been busy DESTROYING for the last two years, means that the "law" then means exactly what your little rapist hero says that it does not. That "law" is exactly what the "big men" in the culture say it means, when there is no rule of LAW. Only a FOOL would not understand that simple FACT, (I'm talking about Assange here, but you do yourself no good when you quote such DRIVEL).

Lowering taxes adds to the deficit. This stupid shilling obamunist ballsack is STILL here?? I sure don't miss the insipid "posts" like the above from the bozoed assclown.....but I have to wonder why anyone with half a brain still engages this laughable tool.....

It's closer to $500 billion today. That's enough to run GM, Ford, and several other companies combined. It's money that it completely wasted. It's a big reason (along with mindless regulations) that companies are moving jobs offshore. That is a goofy argument. This past year I've spent more time waiting for Sears contractors to show up and repair my water heater then I have in the past 10 years preparing income taxes (don't buy a Sears waterheater!). I spend far more time navigating automated phone systems and on hold annually than preparing income taxes (I would love it if some one did a study on how much time and money was wasted on that for business and individuals). I pray daily to be spared the necessity of contacting my internet provider! I gave Comcast three shots at hooking up my cable, more time wasted waiting than I spent on taxes last year. (Astound got it done the first time) Come to think of it, the private sector ain't all that efficient.

You are two of the dumbest and more stubborn people I have ever met. I need to stop wasting my time talking to you. Silicon Valley Historical Society The phenomenon known since the 1970s as Silicon Valley can be traced to origins in the 1890s when Leland Stanford established a university at Palo Alto... Pioneer professors, especially in the sciences and engineering, took Senator Stanford’s cue and collaborated with nearby industries from the outset... Palo Alto became an early test bed for radio experiment. Later it became the locale for development of continuous-wave transmission powered by arc generators... At Standford university, Fred Terman was firmly entrenched as the leading U.S. academic man in radio engineering. Even before becoming Electrical Engineering department head in 1937, Terman encouraged his students to start businesses... The Hewlett Packard Story (From the film "Silicon Valley: 110 year Renaissance"): In 1935, two Standford Graduates... Silicon Valley is there because of Standford University. It's first big growth company was Hewlett Packard, which was formed by two Standard Graduates in 1935. Without Standford University, there would be no Silicon Valley. This is common knowledge, yet you two deny it. It's madding. I am going to stop talking to both of you because you are idiots.
Because you don't have job.
If you look at my earlier past, I mentioned Fred Terman, who is, BTW, known as the father of Silicon Valley. It's first big growth company was Hewlett Packard, which was formed by two Standard Graduates in 1935. Without Standford University, there would be no Silicon Valley. Without Fred Terman there would be no HP. Without Fred Terman Stanford would not have played the role it did in the development of Silicon Valley - in fact Stanford itself might not be the world class University it is today. This is common knowledge, yet you two deny it. It's madding. I am going to stop talking to both of you because you are idiots. It must be really tough to be the keeper of all knowledge common and not be recognized for the central role you play.

Here is what you said: it was Frederick Terman, the Cold War, the creation of Stanford Industrial Park, research grants from the DoD and the CIA that made Stanford and Silicon Valley. Untrue. Standford University seeded Silicon Valley staring in the 1890s. Hewlett Packard was Standford's first major success story in the 1930s. Yes, Terman (a Standford Professor) was an early part of this. This all started a long time before there was a Cold War, DOD, or CIA. Standford University was the center of gravity that created Silicon Valley. If you are going to "google" your answers, you should probably make some attempt to put what you find in context before you respond.
i've gotten to a point where thanks to sites like applianceguru.com and http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/ i can find the answer to just about any appliance related problem and fix it myself. I've now repaired my dishwasher once (before replacing it), and my refrigerator 3 times in 8 years.

Thank you. If I ever have another problem, I'll give that site a look.

LOL! Boy, you are fence post stupid. The FACT is that solid state electronics did not even exist until the late 1950's. THAT is when the history of the SILICON VALLEY began. Which begs another unanswered question, how is that ball less try at an insult and stupid repetition of your stupidity supposed to be an answer to my question of what you specifically do for a living? Or address the STUPIDITY and INACCURACY of the absolutely BASS ACKWARDS DRIVEL that you use as your tag line? Focus, focus, FOCUS ...

Did you know Mad Dog was in the navy? It was a mistake, actually. He heard it was full of semen. A happy error by him, as it turned out.

My Boofie was a sailor full of seamen too. He loved sashaying across the deck and would always look forward to getting into manly ports like San Fran and Key West. Once on a morning after having a dark knight on the Indian Ocean he saw a Viking sucking a seamen. He got terribly upset at that sight.

In 2002, taxpayers spent an estimated 5.8 billion hours complying with the federal income tax code, according to the Tax Foundation. The total estimated cost of compliance was over $194 billion. That's equivalent to a 20.4-cent surcharge for every $1 in taxes collected!
