Unfortunately for your argument they did happen to find enough nuclear material to give Iran’s president a pretty powerful wet dream. Just because they were left over doesn’t mean they weren’t there. That’s retarded. It’s like saying the leftovers in your fridge don’t exist because they are old. :huh:

 

The problem is they did not find any. They found pieces here and there and that automatically made it ok for them to say there was WMDs. And technically speaking from a fat persons POV, if you can’t eat or use the leftovers cause they are too old…they DONT exist.

So? If a mom and pop store is poorly run do you expect the government to step in and save them? What if 100 such stores close? 1000? The government doesn’t care about them and small businesses fail EVERY DAY and with them go thousands of jobs EVERY DAY but you never hear about them because they aren’t “big enough”. Now why is it fair for the government to save some jobs and not others? How are rural jobs less deserving of bailout money than urban jobs?

I agree with you on this one 100%. We have hundreds of thousands of mom and pop stores that get shut down daily and we never wrote anything into our constitution or passed a bill helping them out. Its bull*edited* that anybodies money has to go to a greedy CEO’s hand. What they do with the money is put it into a billion dollar bonus check and call it a night.

The real truth is no company is too big to fail. I’m sorry that people lose their jobs but that’s the way it is in every country on the planet. I guess your ideal society would have everyone working for the government in a “safe” job that’s never outsourced and never made to compete but there’s only one system of government that’s ever tried that and I do believe most of those countries failed harder than any individual company or industry would have failed. If we continue on this path of blindly tossing money to fix companies unwilling to be fixed eventually we will run out of money because let’s face it, you can’t steal from the rich forever. Eventually the rich will be made poor and, if the current trend continues, simultaneously NOT make the poor any richer. That leads to the failure of our country.

This is true. If you are going to blindly toss money at a problem you are not fixing it, at all. The problem is that we are outsourcing too much and its causing major corruption in companies. If you had the ability to pay workers $75-$150 a day for hard work or $75-150 a month for hard work which one would you choose? Exactly. Cutting corners and saving money is what big companies are good at and they are now paying for mistakes. The problem is we are paying for it as well.

 

And its not stealing from the rich only. I know that if I support a company in the slightest way I have now written some douchbags pay check. It sickens me. Which is why I only go to certain places… I know people can bring up the thread about headphones and the other one about the Olympics where I said go to Walmart to get headphones and DONT go to the Olympcs because China is *edited*ed up. I support my Local Walmart because I live in the middle of Maine where it is 45minutes to drive anywhere decent to get anything decent that isnt Walmart, Hannaford…as a poor college student this is impossible to go all over the place for something simple. It isn’t necessary.
