    And what does it say about the total government response to save these perps from the consequences of their actions ? If we treated drug dealers the same way, we'd be bailing them out, dropping all charges and giving them enough taxpayuer funds to ensure they could pay for their next drug shipment.

    Glad I wasn't in the gallery for Bernanke's testimony - the smell out of Washington is getting really ugly.

    When George W Bush was first nominated, I found and read a biography of him since I didn't know anything about him. As a result, I was not a fan. Nevertheless, I held my tongue and gave him the opportunuity to prove to me and my fellow Americans how he would govern. And only after he did what he did, did I criticize.

    Clearly, many will not give this President a honeymoon for 100 days, nay, even 100 minutes. Most of the criticisms of Obama made by the Republican campaign have been proven to be lies. Those that are not downright lies are distortions and inaccurate interpretations.

    W need some civility in our world. Without it we are no better than the radical terrorist lunatics that renounce absolutely everything and everybody who differs from their beliefs.

    If you make more than $250,000 a year, you can afford to pay a small amount more in taxes. I make a fraction of that in retirement and could afford it. I'm sick, tired and fed up with whiners who look solely at their PERSONAL interest above the nation's interest. This nation has one of the lowest income taxes in the world - why do you think most of the world's wealthy people move here ?

    In good times, it may make sense to lower taxes to spur economic growth. You should read what Arthur Laffer REALLY wrote rather than the Cliff's notes version spewed by the talking heads on TV. Laffer himself recently said it would not benefit the economy to lower taxes on the rich at this time in this economy.

    People who want to starve the IRS given the massive discrepancy between revenue and spending that exists today want to kill the US government and the US economy. The situation is unsustainable. (Personally, if it would also kill the two ruling parties - the Republicrats - I'd be in favor as well).

    United we stand, divided we fall. When you choose sides, choose wisely.
