Waste and abuse in a war time situation are so common that I wonder why there is not a permanent committee to investigate these situations.When ever there is millions and billions of dollars.There are going to be many people who don't care about the fact the thousands of people are dieing.They just want the money.These people and companies need to be sent to jail,or disenfranchised so as to send the message that we find them and their actions despicable.These are the lowest of the low,who profit from others deaths.

Well said Wolf and Whatheheck. I can see that there has been great benefit to african-americans,blacks,negroes,N-word,people of color,etc,etc,etc. The black people of this country are who they are due to their past and I can see that they have gotten great benefit from that past.It never seems to be brought out ,but at the beginning of this country white were brought here as indentured servants.Now maybe that is not quite as horrific as the slave ships.It is none the less slavery.I do get tired of being portrayed as some kind of white devil because of what happened in the past.I and …

I am right behind you on this topic whattheheck.It seems almost criminal what the upper echelons of Big Business get for pay,and this is even if their company goes into the dumpster.

Dear scorp.Watchu talkin 'bout ! The black families that I know are doing kinda ok.They are working hard,for the most part and would do better if the husbands(sperm donors) would get a job and help to raise the kids.Religion,hard work,and family are what black people are all about and they are strong today. Lack of jobs and money plague all of us blue collar workers today.Wether we be black or white or brown or yellow.Our jobs have been off-shored,our politicians are corrupt(democrats and republicans),Big Business is choking the working class,and our president is killing us,literally!We don't live in a Marxist society.We …

You are bang on Mr.Sirota.Now what do we do?I feel powerless against Big Business and Big Government.I write.I vote.I argue,but to what ends?Now I know what it was like to be black in this country.Nobody listens to me and nobody cares.I guess I will have to riot in the streets like black people did.Not much of a riot with just one person though and still no one will listen. I am not german.I don't know why there is a german flag included in my comments?

I would disagree with you larryw.I have seen a show on the Discovery channel about tar sands and it does sound like an environmental disaster in the making.If we don't keep an eye on these oil companies and just take their word that everything will be ok.Then it will be too late when the oil sand hits the ground.Big Business will lie,cheat,steal,and manipulate to get the oil that WE demand.WE need to get off of our arses and learn to do more for public transportation,renewable energy,and conservation.We are spoiled by the mineral wealth that this country has had,as well as the …

The jobs created to repair and build infrastructure is an excellent idea,very reminisant to FDR's CCC program.Alot of people were put to work and alot of much needed and beneficial projects were completed. I do like the idea of poster whattheheck on the inter-state passenger rail system.Our rail system in this country is a total mess.The problem is that the railroads say that they were losing money,hand over fist in the past,which is why they pretty much dismanteled the passenger rail service in the continental U.S..

For years I have talked to anyone who would listen to tell them that there are too many people for this planet to support,at our current lifestyle. We are using up all of our resources(water,land,energy,food,oil,etc.)and there will be wars over all of these resources and there will be mass destruction of the human population.This will be the way that nature and man uses to balance the population. I trully am not sure what we should do.I think that we have to have some way to allow families to have only so many children,but who is to make that decision and who …

You make a very convincing arguement scorp as to the democrats being inaffective and not talking issues,and the republicans talking about issues.The bottom line is that it all amounts to crap! What have the republicans done for and to us for the last seven years.There is no difference between the two parties.They all talk big to get elected and renig on all that talk when they get elected.The same as the so called "first one hundred hours"that the democrats espoused.

To scorp.Yes it is true that I am not fast eddie,and thank you for your critique.I do plod on and tromp through the muck and mire,until I get tired and have to rest.I pick myself up and try to make sense of what is going on around me.I like eheller try to get information from all sides and humbly try to make sense of what I see,hear,and read.I am not a great thinker and yes I can be slow,but I do my best.The problem is that the information that we have to pick through is so biased that it becomes difficult,to …

Is it not still economically and morally better to refurbish the existing housing,rather than to waste money by destroying housing that is available now? I do get tired of hearing from black people that they are getting a raw deal,,,,but I do hear that big business wants to construct areas for tourist to stay and wealthier people to live,and this is wrong.The government dropped the ball in a big way.Starting with hiring a completely incompetant director of FEMA and the president dragging his heels on helping New Orleans.The incompetance goes even further back when the Corp of Engineers did not improve …

I am all for conversation at any level and people to people is the best sort of sharing experience,I think. I don't trust governmental discussions as much simply because governments have their own agendas ,which are often powered by big business. I grew up hating communist,mostly the soviets.I have since that time learned that almost all people are just like us.They only want jobs,food,a better life for their children and peace.I was brainwashed by the popular progaganda of the times.We need to have dialogue with other people to learn what they are like and visa versa.Peace is what we all need …

It is business as usual in Detroit.The CEO's get golden parachutes,even when they are inept and or just plain corrupt and the workers get no guarantees of healthcare or even of jobs.These people ,in the leadership of automobile making are so short sighted that Japan and Korea can easily out manuever U.S. automakers and take control of sales in this country and the world.We are in desperate times in this country and we are on the verge of much worse times,financially,environmentally,and politically. We need to make radical changes to our way of life and develope more mass transit,smaller mor efficient cars …

At first I thought that waypasthadenough was doing a tongue in cheek,until I read his other posts.You are trully a fool dude.Since when is it ok for a so called democracy to hire mercenaries to do military things.These mercenaries are not under control of the military code of justice and do whatever they want without any restraints.They are just greedy pigs. The other aspect of this issue is that these mercenaries are most often,now a days,people who have gotten out of the military ,such as special forces,rangers,seals,and other special ops people.In so doing they have hurt the regular military in that …
