$1,250.00 vs. $39,000,000,000.00 ($39 Billion).
What an amazingly stark contrast of values:
1. $1,250.00. The payment promised to the Mumbai Islamo-fascist murderers in the event they died carrying out their hate crimes.
2. $39 Billion. The DOWN PAYMENT we will make to bail out our pathetic big 3 automakers. Yes. Any doubt in your minds that $39 Billion is just the beginning?
All we hear these days is THIS MANY BILLIONS FOR THIS, THAT MANY BILLIONS FOR THAT, TRILLIONS IN DEBT, MORE TRILLIONS TO GET SUCKED OUT OF THE CREDIT CARD MARKET.... Seems things are barely relevant unless they have price tags in the billions.
Reminds Barns of the business he built in the third world in the ‘90s. What a different paradigm when people are grateful to work for pennies an hour.
Where is the lesson in this, if there is one? Some wisdom on this, please.
What Do You Think?
$1,250.00 vs. $39,000,000,000.00 ($39 Billion).

on 12/28 at 10:19AM PTBarns has again had as house guest a senior U.S. Army man, just back from his second tour to Iraq. You all should talk to him for all the hours Barns has.
HOW the war is being fought and THE RESULTS ON THE GROUND THERE are vastly different than reported by the media.
And really eye opening.
Just ask the military two questions:
1. Should the U.S. and its allies be in Iraq?
2. Are we accomplishing good things there and are the Iraqi people really appreciative of our presence there?
Care to guess the answers?
RESOUNDING YES AND YES!

They may very well appreciate your efforts, But at what costs (Your count 4,5... funerals) along with Material and equipment.And has the original threat been removed An even bigger resounding NO!! Instead of eliminating the problem, It's now spread to Pakistan ,India and parts of England .I'm sorry my friend but the US has "made a rod for it's own back"

Good day you all over there. We live in very scary times. The people you write about have nothing but hate and time. As long as they have state sponsored support, maime and murder they will. Your country and ours will have to protect our institutions at any cost lest we all die in hales of bullets from the weapons of mass destruction. Muslim extremists everywhere.

Jihad is alive and well. the more we focus on our financial problems the bolder they will become. We are worried about billions of dollars issues while they just want to kill kill kill. I hope Obama and company wake up to that and quick.

If you think that the present economic disaster is big enough, can you imagine what would happen if another 9/11 attack took place? God forbid. If it does, you will all WISH FOR THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF THAT HORRIBLE PRESIDENT BUSH.

the lesson...pontiacs and buicks should never have existed in the first place! ew. hummers should be illegal. but cadi's and saabs are pretty hot, i support a bailout for those,specifically, if they introduce hybrids fo em. keeps some people employed and america has some decent looking cars on the road.
