“Why aren't we worried about 16-24 year olds not being in school?”

“Most people who graduate from high school are either 17 or 18. Most people who get a college degree are out by 21. If a 24-year-old is still in school, he or she would be doing graduate work, getting a PhD, or working toward careers in the medical profession.
(Or else the 24-year-old who is still in school has a low IQ but is still trying to educate himself or herself.)”

“When China was accepted into the World Trade Organization, they agreed that if we experienced import surges of Chinese goods that caused “market disruption,” we would be allowed to limit the import of those goods. The particular section of the agreement is called “Section 421.”
When the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determines that the level of imports from China cause or threaten to cause market disruption to American producers of competitive products, it proposes a remedy that can include quotas or other relief. The President of the United States then makes a decision whether to enforce that recommendation.
President Bush repeatedly (seven times) refused to enforce Section 421 even when our own ITC found that American companies, factories and jobs were being lost. Bush claimed at the time that the destructive effects of dramatic, sudden increases in Chinese imports that Section 421 was meant to mitigate were actually good for the U.S. economy. Bush’s policy was the opposite of “protectionism” — it actually favored China’s companies over our own! (I think we’ve seen how that has worked out.)
It's a stupid move to favor China's companies over our own companies?”

“Advertisers go where the ratings are. Fox continues to increase its lead over CNN and MSNBC because their programming is superior. Fox tells the truth, unlike the other channels which play to their audience. Wake up people.”
Rich Heimlich replied on Aug 17, 2009 at 18:05:03
“Here's the real joke. These conservatives continually rant about the extensive liberal media bias out there. They tell you it's everywhere on TV except for Fox News. Think about that. If that's true then that means that conservatives watch Fox News and liberals are split between CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS.
Fox likes to constantly tell you they have the most popular shows. However, Bill O'Reilly's numbers aren't even in the same league as those Brian Williams gets on NBC. His show can't even come close to the numbers on 60 Minutes or Dateline.
What Fox has is a successful network. They get a huge percentage of one demographic. That's it. The rest of us choose between networks not telling us all what we want to hear just to draw us to them. Thus, this apples to oranges comparison has never made any impact on me.”

“What's your point, feralguy? In this situation, they don't just go where the ratings are because Beck's ratings are the highest. His projection of racism was so transparent that even they chose the higher road. Their ratings are highest because you have a black president with a lot of unemployed whites "fearing what he will do next."”

“It's the other way around. McCain was used by the ultraconservative wing of the republican party. His original choice for VP was senate turncoat Joe Lieberman. However, the ultraconservatives made it very clear to McCain that there would chaos at the 08 RNC if he picked Lieberman. So he picked Palin in an effort to satisfy the ultraconservative wing of the republican party, and to pick up "disaffected Clinton voters".
Palin jumped at the opportunity to serve as VP, but didn't realize that anti-abortion, pro-gun, and faux patriotism rhetoric may secure her popularity with conservatives in this country, but not with independents, moderates, and racial and ethnic minorities. So don't blame McCain for Palin's mess.
Frankly, neither were or are fit to serve in the White House.”
