Stick to handloading and fixing old machine tools, Gunner. That's
about the limit of your understanding of economics.

How do you keep getting dumber as you age? Most people get smarter.

I wonder how he thinks the Republican "Contract with America" worked out?
LOL


It worked out rather well. Got cites that it didnt?

Now about that nasty National Recovery act again...and Manzanar.....?

Snicker....

Its hysterical watching the RINOs queing up....

Most of the Contract died in the waiting room. As the Cato Institute
analysis of it said, in 2000, "...the combined budgets of the 95 major
programs that the Contract with America promised to eliminate have increased
by 13%."

So, if increasing the budgets of all of those federal programs that were
supposed to be eliminated entirely is your idea of "working out rather
well," then I guess it was. d8-)

BTW, many of the Republicans signed a pledge as part of the Contract to
support a term limit of 12 years. As of 2006, these are the ones who signed
the pledge and who already had 12 years or more of service, but were running
again for re-election:

Charles Bass, NH-02
Steve Chabot, OH-01
Tom Davis, VA-11
Mark Foley, FL-16
Rodney Frelinghuysen, NJ-11
Gil Gutknecht, MN-01
Doc Hastings, WA-04
J.D. Hayworth, AZ-08
John Hostettler, IN-09
Walter Jones, NC-03
Sue Kelly, NY-19
Ray LaHood, IL-18
Tom Latham, IA-04
Steven LaTourette, OH-14
Sue Myrick, NC-09
Robert Ney, OH-18
Charlie Norwood, GA-09
George Radanovich, CA-19
John Shadegg, AZ-03
Mac Thornberry, TX-13
Todd Tiahrt, KS-04
Dave Weldon, FL-15
Jerry Weller, IL-11
Ed Whitfield, KY-01
Roger Wicker, MS-01

Robert Ney, currently doing 30 months in prison, would have been able to
keep his promise if only they'd convicted him a little sooner. g

Gunner, when you deal with customers, do you just try to bluster your way
through, like you did here? If so, I guess you have to make it quick and get
out, eh?
