OT - Federal Spending has increased 45% since 2001

because they are all a bunch of homofobes.....

Oh, the irony! The busheep says that I don't get it!

Ironic, coming from a top poster.

This from our friend Dizzy AKA, Moron, Stupid, Troll, Idiot, asshole etc, the poster child for the new American education system LOL

'job problem' we have is finding people, at ANY price, to do the jobs that are available . For every five jobs available there are only three persons qualified to do the job, with few others capable of being trained by the person willing to higher them if they will only come to work on time and stay through the shift. As the baby boomers retire it is only getting worse. It is all part of the PC and the dumbing down of our educational system that is going on in America and it is sad that everyone in the government is afraid to talk about the problem.

the dumbing down of our educational

I guess uou missed the part of the post that said there are even fewer capable of being trained by the person willing to higher them, if they will only come to work on time and stay through the shift. ;)

I wonder why your fellow right winger Mark didn't call you stupid for using the word "higher" instead of "hire". I guess he was too stupid to notice.

I guess we can assume you are not an HR person if that is what you believe, right? If one has a skill today and is good at their job,they can get any job that want at just about any salary. The guys that are working in automotive design as I did are earning twice as much as I when I retired in

You serious? In Chicago... Guggenheim Group on monroe and franklin... email me for details

This is Chicago, I posted the business in another reply. No special requirements. People applying for it are not that good. And when i say good, they dont have the attitude. Must know windows 2003 server, exchange 2003, active directory, vpn, some sql admi (like run backups, etc) and travel 10% of the time to miami...

If that is what you believe why did the immigration bill not get voted on in the Senate before it adjourned? It is a bill that will spend billions and the Dimocrates threatened to filibuster unless they could add amendments. It is a different bill than the one in the House and it originated in the Senate. Dimocrats only vote for bills that spend more money or increases taxes, like the no child left behind bill on Clinton gas tax bill, never to cut spending. 'We can't hurt the working man, or the children or the elderly' is the tag line every time the House passes a bill that cuts spending and passes it on to the Senate. If the house had the only say federal spending would have been cut long ago ;)

You are offering him a lot more than his current employer I'll bet. Even the managers at McDonalds do not make that kind of money. ;)

You can't be that smart, you missed the UOU in the post ;)

That's actually pretty funny Mike (I sure hope that you meant it to be funny eh?)

Life if too short to take anything seriously that one reads in a NG :)

No, I'm not in HR, I'm one of the people that looks at resumes of people we're thinking of hiring.

There's plenty of quality on the street. But there's no loyalty down and there's no interest in hiring someone who COULD do what is wanted, with a bit of training. They're no longer hiring people, they're just renting them.

First, it's not a "spending" bill, moron.

Second, the filibuster is an imperfect weapon. If the Democrats filibuster a particular bill, the Senate Majority Leadership which is, SURPRISE, a bunch of Rethuglicans, can hold up things the Democrats want without breaking a sweat.

It's called "politics." The minority party doesn't have zero power, but it doesn't have much and it doesn't have enough to dictate spending.

The People are going to see right through this charade and a lot of Republican incimbents are going to lose their jobs.

You've made some pathetic excuses for the Republicans before but this is truly the most absurd position you've taken to date.

The Republicans are in power. They're going to have to take responsibility for a few things. A few bad things. More than a few things that are more than a little bad.

But, hey, they've achieved their dreams: gays still can't marry in 49 states! That's going to fix the trade deficit, the budget deficit and stop terrorism!

Why bother with this ass-hole Mike. It's just trash. Killfile the bastard.

There hasn't been any terrorism here. That's good enough for me.

Nobody even considered border security a worthy cause until the past few months.

Money is the issue with immigration. Time is the issue.

Still on the loose in a part of the world that doesn't like its own President, much less ourr.

Iraq is doing about as good as it can given the fact that there are 3 sects that all hate each other so much that they can not form their own government.

Deficit is about the same to improving. Revenues to the government are actually up and cover all of the new spending.

Social Security is not messed up because Bush did nothing. You can thank the Dems for that fiasco.

I don't do drugs. I can't comment on what the new drug plan is or isn't.

We try to get our own oil out of the ground, but the tree hugging dems scream about it.

Yeah, education sucks. Especially yours.

Inflation is from rising wages and steady production. Costs rise but production remains the same, that is inflation.

Why? Are they going to start buying our stuff any time soon?

Perhaps, but these are not the jobs that are fueling inflation.

I didn't know that pension reform was a goal of the federal government. My pension is fine. If your pension sucks, then maybe your company sucks. Maybe.

DH hits home every time and it is a pleasure to see it fluster you. Killfile? If you can't hang, do what ya gotta do...
