Something doesn’t add up. Two weeks ago I drive to Detroit, and one of the bigger suburban shopping areas (Canton Twp) looked like Christmastime. Traffic was jammed up, and all the parking lots were full.
This weekend closer to home, Best Buy’s parking lot was mostly full. Lowe’s was busy. Walmart jammed. Etc.
WTF? It’s the middle of winter, supposedly the slow part of the retail season, but looks like early December. People just driving around and window shopping?

Classic, geeze, I’m laughing so hard my eyes are watering.
I don’t see how the unemployment rate goes down when the current stimulus plan rolls back welfare reform to put more people on welfare with no work requirements.
Mr Fusion,
>None of you have stepped up and said, “Here is my plan”.
From the Washington Post:
“There seems to be a set of folks who—I don’t doubt their sincerity—who just believe that we should do nothing,” he said.
But in truth, few of those involved in the stimulus debate are suggesting that the government should not take action to aid the cratering economy.
Many of the president’s fiercest congressional critics support a stimulus package of similar size but think it should be built around a much higher proportion of tax cuts than new spending. Others have called for a plan that is half the size of the one headed for a House-Senate conference—still massive by historical standards.

From the Washington Post: …
I have no idea who said anything nor what context it was said in. Please try and supply a link to the story. I have no intention of reading every story in the WaPo for the past few days to find that one sentence. Until then it is bullshit.

Let me make it easy and I will teach you how to post a link.
Pull up the page you want to quote from.
Move your mouse cursor to the address bar. LEFT click one time on the address. The whole address will become highlighted.
Keep your cursor on the highlighted address and RIGHT click one time.
You will get a small dialogue box pop up. LEFT click on “copy”.
Go back to where you want to put the address.
Put your cursor where you want to place it. RIGHT click on that spot and then LEFT click on “paste”.
To copy and paste text, do it the same BUT
At the beginning of the text you want to copy, LEFT click and hold the button down. Move your cursor to the end of the passage to be copied. When all the text you want is highlighted, release the left button. Sometimes, with some text, it takes a little wiggling to just get the text you want and not the whole thing.
Then RIGHT click and LEFT click the “copy”. Go to where you wish to paste it.
Mike, I don’t post these steps to be rude or condescending. Many people don’t know how to do this and try to get along by not doing it. If you already know then great. It didn’t cost you anything. If you didn’t know, then maybe you can learn. Everyone has to learn sometime and trust me, it didn’t come naturally for any of us.
This could be practiced by using a word processor such as WORD or WORKS. This procedure works the same in almost every program I am aware of.
As much as I tease about you being stupid, you have shown us you are bright and do have something important to you to say. Help us see your point.
And if you want to add a smiley face, just add the colon key “:” along with the right, rounded bracket “)”
🙂

An Employee from the Toyota dealership for North Tampa told me that 65% of their car purchases are in CASH. These are $30,000 to $40,000 vehicles.
As I see it, there must be some money left over from the housing boom, and many people now can only shop at Wal-Mart.

Bush was not a libertarian
Not by a long shot.
because he opposed social liberties and gave huge amounts of welfare, albeit corporate welfare.
If you want to know how Libertarians feel about Bush:

Try this one instead.
DVORAK!!!! How can you say that about Steve??? You know nothing of his condition. He *could* be back by June. It is possible, you know. I say your sources are crap!
Oops.. My mistake. You see, it’s just that everything I ever think of and/or say revolves around Steve & Apple.
Why Leibertarians love Bush
With all that expertise with a word processor(glad to see you’re not one of the Microsoft bashers), I’m surprised you have no idea how to use a search function.
#41, Lyin’ Mike,
I’m surprised you have no idea how to use a search function.
It is not my job to back up or even validate your claims. You are responsible. Or, are you claiming irresponsibility?
So it would appear that that quote didn’t appear in the Washington Post?
Why Democraps adore Bush
#42, Oh, it appeared there alright.
And about 40 different other publications as well.
I am surprised you don’t know who said it.
#44, Loser,
Then if it appeared, Mike could have and should have posted a link. As I said, I have no intention of searching several days worth of papers trying to find a quote he is using.
If he can’t back it up it didn’t happen.
#45, Poison Twin,
What search? I just copy and pasted the line into google and was presented with hundreds of links.
Trust me, the time you spent griping about a link was 10-fold the time it took to google it.
