“He was close with Teddy.

More important, as someone with great family wealth, he is more concerned about being on the right side of history than lining his pockets with lobbyists funds that will, in the end, hurt the people of WV.

The average employee of WV is blue collar labor. These people work hard physical jobs. They work with many toxic substances. Without employer based health care, these Joe six packs are just a paycheck away from becoming medicaid eligible. Which is a government program, but provides nowhere near the coverage of Medicare,

Jay's people are what we used to call the backbone of these united states. That greed & corruption should break their backbones is inexcusable & Jay knows it.”

Ireland's Economic Woes Deepen

Commented Jun 23, 2009 at 19:58:18 in World

“I thought Ireland looked prosperous in the early 90's but the people felt somewhat poor. I was there just before the crash and everyone seemed to feel very confident. Hopefully, most people did not engage in risky financial behavior and will be ok. I was content to watch all the madness go on around me in the states and stay my same conservative financial self. So I am no worse for the wear and tear. I hope the same is true for most in Ireland. Hope to see Ireland feeling prosperous but not giddy when I have my next trip there whenever.”

Klimb replied on Jun 24, 2009 at 06:48:27

“I think Ireland was fine until about 2000 when the EU donated funds and IT boom took over. Then, many from US were purchasing real estate in Ireland and then, the transition from their currency of punt to euro. Everything just happened too quickly to be authentic and to have a long-term effect.
But it shld not a surprise b/c everybody wanted to have the type of economy such as US. Yet none of theses countries had even done a risk assessment or set up a foundation as US had had for many years of capitalism. It was about keeping up with the Jones/John­s... Dubai is in the same mess!”

Oonagh replied on Jun 23, 2009 at 21:11:33

“They are in worse shape than this country.. Their real estate went out of sight and now everything is tumbling big time. Dell has left the country and moved to Poland for the cheap labor, so too a lot more of the American companies that had set up there. The problem with Ireland is that it lost a lot of its identity with the "tiger" so when they go back to being a poor country again it will be without a lot of its culture.”

“The way to watch MSNBC is to keep it muted until you see a guest show up who is worth a listen. I cannot bear to hear more than 3 words from Scarborough. He is such a juvenile. And the people around him seem to think he knows something. It is very odd. But his show has some decent guests. Muting long periods and listening for short periods is the only way to go during any hour on MSNBC.”

“Once the publicity and the donations stop, these 14 children will be like orphans in an understaffed orphanage. I hope that she lets them go to stable families. Unfortunately, I do not see any way that they can grow up as brothers and sisters under one roof. I feel really sad for the heavy load that these children will share. They will have to raise each other unless they are adopted into real families.”
