Why are we running a deficit and why can't we fix it?
If I was in charge, I'd look at where we are spending money and where we are making money. I would spend less and make more to pay back debt and spend within means.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow can I make my mind up about Obama through all the lies from both sides?
I don't know what to think of him. If what he is doing is good or bad for the country. Both sides are passionately confusing the issues.
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoSo if you're against big government + out of control spending, you are a racist Nazi?
I don't get why people are libeled for dissenting. That is the most American thing.
I am an independent. I am equally dissappointed in the left and the right, in the Republicans and Democrats. I realize both are corrupt, one in bed with unions, the other with big business, so we are efffed either way.
11 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoHow do I inspect a car? I want to know everything about it.?
My old man is handing me down his car. It has little scratches here and there, is a bit dirty, used.
I want to basically go to someone and have them give me a full report on the vehicle, like how brakes, wheels, engine, tranny are holding up. So as high as the number goes for point inspection.
Then I want to clean up the scratches and interior. So what is the best way to do this?

8 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoCan we take kids' A's and make them into C's, and give those points to kids who got F's so they get C's too?
This was America. In it, you could become anything, that is what it provided. Now, I want less quality, less rags to riches tales, because there wont be any more rags or riches.
Of those who answer, no one has lived in a socialist country, just like the entire Democratic Party, yet they know that it is good.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoIs this how you give your 6 month notice in the Army now, or say I quit?
You can be a pv1 with no deployments, go to your medic and say - I think I caught some PTSD, I think I am suicidal. Ok, he sends you to a specialist, that Col. is not going to take chances with his career, does not care anyway, sends you to an eval, you keep up your story and bam you are getting medboarded.
Too easy. In fact, we are medboarding ALL of our guys that stayed on Rear D. Its the easiest thing. Granted it takes 6 months, but I hope it will take 2 weeks in the future so we can call it giving your 2 week notice.

13 AnswersWeddings1 decade agoWhat are some of the best supported English football clubs?
Also any in the lower divisions with a chance of promoting and becoming mainstays in the Premiership?
Its sad how unfair yet spectacular that league is. It seems like 5th place is basically the best one can do, as the top 4 spots are reserved by big money every year.
7 AnswersEnglish Football (Soccer)1 decade agoWhy am I losing weight so slowly?
I am running, 5 miles a day now, at a 8-9 min. clip, plus an additional 2 miles at a 7 min. mile. On top of that, I do push-ups, sit-ups, lift weights, do sprints. I am working out a lot!
My body is losing weight VERY slowly. Barely a pound, maybe 2-3 pounds a week tops. I need to lose like 15 pounds in the next month and a half, and its stressful. I eat healthy food, small meals, drink lots of water. I'm doing everything right, I don't get it though. I am 6'0, 201 and need to be 185 (28 yrs old).
26 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoIs it enough to fire all the incompetent teachers?
They must make up a majority of teachers. Can't we also fire entire school boards and dismantle teachers' unions?
Can we have public humiliation in town squares? Like throw tomatoes at them, tar and feather principals that make over 100k and board of education members that get paid to do be incompetent? How about teachers' unions, you know, the mafia in this, can they be banished from the land?

3 AnswersOlympics1 decade agoShould we just have puff pieces with interludes of Olympic events instead of Olympics?
It seems every Olympics, we get saturated with more puff pieces of the odds athletes had to overcome, blah blah blah. Cue in the tear-jerker piano music, show childhood pics or vids, interviews by parents/friends.
4 AnswersOlympics1 decade agoWould you have liked this Tiger Woods speech better?
"I worked hard at it and wanted to play golf. People surrounded me and paid me billions to play golf which I love. My wife would have never given me the time and day, but married me. I had beautiful women throw themselves at me over and over and as any man would do in my situation, succumbed to the tremendous spotlight that being God of Golf brings you. Many celebrities do exactly what I do. But you America, live in a fairy-tale and need this apology. I am sorry I got caught!"

2 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoDon't destroy the environment for unborn children but do have abortions?
once a human being is alive in your body, do they not have a right to life? I wonder how most people would answer if asked whether their mothers should have chosen to kill them when they were helpless and defenseless, without a voice.
and no I am not religious, Christian, I just am trying to think using common sense.
12 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoWho is smarter Joe Biden or Chris Matthews? Who is more undemocratic Pelosi or Czar Ivan the Terrible?
Hey both Ivan and Pelosi want to push through their agenda regardless of what other people think.
Matthews called future Army officers the enemy. Biden said we will lose in Iraq and we should split up the country into 4 ethnic regions. Both are geniuses for saying such things.
