Sorry for the type. That should have been the 1950′s.

The point in the article was that there was no real surplus. Every year since the 1850′s the U.S. has owed more money than the year before. If there was a surplus the U.S. debt would have gone down not up.

Time to get the career politician out of office. Cleaver’s only doing what’s good for his next election and his own image. Turk will do the common-sense things that the rest of us would do. VOTE TURK!

We need a Marine in Congress who will do what’s right even when it’s hard instead of pushovers like Cleaver who just follow the Democratic party line – Cleaver has voted 100% with Pelosi and Obama – we need an independent thinker like Jacob Turk voting for the people and what THEY want from their government.

I’m not even going to correct you on how terrible some your rationalizations were but I am going to say, 48% of Americans don’t pay Income tax they actually make money off of it and you think taxes needs to be lowered on the low income class of America?

The latest data show that a big portion of the federal income tax burden is shouldered by a small group of the very richest Americans. The wealthiest 1 percent of the population earn 19 percent of the income but pay 37 percent of the income tax. Thetop 10 percent pay 68 percent of the tab. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent—those below the median income level—now earn 13 percent of the income but pay just 3 percent of the taxes. These are proportions of the income tax alone and don’t include payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare.
Quote from The American Magazine. ( not to mention you can just look it up on every other tax statistic site in the world.

It’s gratifying to know the Mr. Turk is once again willing to put his life on hold, take abuse from the press **cough,cough** and jump back in for 2012. The campaigns efforts came within 9 points in 2010 and THAT has had to have made an impact no matter which side of the aisle you’re on. Hopefully, all other potential candidates will come to understand the incredible amount of hard work Jacob has put in to achieve the level of name recognition he now enjoys and back him in his effort to unseat Cleaver. Missouri’s 5th deserves decent representation for once.

I don’t think there is anyone who doesn’t but people have to be made aware of what is really going on.

Comment on A Farewell to the Space Shuttle by Ian 'izzy' Zainea

Very nice! Things from the space program: batteries, computers, digital cameras, digital clocks, and much more. I don’t think many people know that everything that is developed at NASA must me made available to the public for purchase. It’s sad to see it go, but the shuttles did their job.

When Challenger blew up it severely hurt the shuttle program because they originally were going to be used a lot more, but after that people started to worry.
