WTF are you talking about?

Here's a shot at redemption... what's a NAP, Mr. "PJ"?
How about a "cigar roll"?
Surely a "combat decorated" person like you would know this. Surely you know what a "ghost round" is and what it references.
Why, I even bet you understand successive bracketing!
Then again... you think SC is based out of Huachuca...
Maybe not....?
Ever heard of LRS? I have... and I don't think I need explain how I know...
I must've gotten this combat patch out the bottom of a box of cereal... we all know only combat arms fight, right? Maybe someone should tell some of my dead comrades that...
Lets stop with the personal attacks, shall we boys?
Back on topic:
In regards to bailouts, I have been giving this some thought, even though I am not a firnd of bailouts, if you are going to do one, I don't think it shoudl be to big business, as I have point out in other threads, it becomes a true case of a drop of water in a bucket.
here is an option for a 500 Billion dollar bailout:
While 250 million dollars for GM ( for example) would be literally a drop in the bucket, 250K to 1000 small business with the condition that they paid off their debts or hire at least 2 people for 2 years, would make a far greater difference in a community.
Another example would be to offer early retirement to 1 Million people over the age of 50, give them 500K ( total cost- 500 billion) with the following condtiions:
You must retire from current job - Thus creating 1 million new jobs.
You must take 20% of 500k ( 100K) and either:
Buy a new car(s)
Pay into your debt
Combination of both.
Or you would have to pay 20% tax at the end of the year.
It stimulates the economy on the basis of employment opportunities, stimulates the auto motive, finacial and real estate market.
And it would be a GOOD use of 500billion instead of just giving to big business with no real goal in mind.
I don't even remember what I was talking about. I hate you, Gene. :(
There is one other thing about the automakers bailout that makes me mad. Knowing that the automakers are in trouble and getting bailouts to survive, Obama is going to tighten the CAFE standards even more.
So he is going to bail them out, then make it harder for them to turn a profit. :confused:
LOL !
I can tell you this, at least with that plan money would be guaranteed to get back into the economy and jobs would be created, perhaps not a million as I am sure some companies wouldn't hire to fill void, but the majority would.
Typcially they would promote from within and hire an entry level or mid-level person.
U can see the majority paying into their mortgage AND buying a new car, perhaps even selling their home and getting a condo in Florida, LOL !
I 2nd BQ's motion
Since I'm over 50 as well , I too would like for you to run in the next election
OTD
You know, part of GMs problem right now is paying for people already in retirement.
A very interesting read:
