    You can't say it is part of their compensation and ALSO is "welfare."

    why not? welfare isn't compensation?

    We're using the same words but have different definitions again or something. Are they part of their earnings or not? If they are, then it isn't welfare. If they are not, then yes they only make 7.25. It doesn't change the bottom line for me, I am just seeking clarification because it seems to be contradictory to claim both.

    one is the tax. the other is the benefit which greatly outweighs any tax ever paid. don't get me started on social security in general. it's raping the young to pay the rich old farts. if it was up to me we'd merge it with welfare and get rid of it completely.

    Could you make a "droski the President: first 100 days" thread sometime? For educational as entertainment purposes.

    it woudl have to be "droski the dictator" because there is no way people are going to vote to get rid of something that the people who vote in mass in this country are receiving.

    yup. they are just going to raise the retirment age for anyone under 50 to say 70 years old. it's actually not that complicated. i'm surprised they haven't already done it.

    catastrophic insurance plan would have been your best plan, and would have been cheap as hell.

    Let's say you have a clear majority of Congress as well, and the public isn't paying attention because you and your colleagues were voted in mostly on the issue of addressing the twinkie shortage.

    Man 'Panhandles' for Employees on Street Corner, Gets a Flood of Applications

    Lance Forsee was having trouble finding employees for his Central Washington landscaping company so he decided to think outside the box.

    Forsee, who runs Colonial Lawn and Garden in Yakima, said traditional recruitment methods had failed. He's in peak season now and needs quality employees.

    And this is a serious issue generally. Who gets elected on a platform of removing laws? Nobody. It's fundamentally difficult for the government to do anything other than add girth. Both parties are guilty of getting girthy with it.

    I agree with you here.

    I think his point about contractor work being only regionally competitive is fair. If brand name recognition were meaningful in contracting, we would have seen the effects by now.

    Now has 200 applicants. Honestly, he sounds like a good boss. 10 bucks an hour with benefits is a great deal for that kind of work. No complaints.
