Tweedling

Shocked and surprised they enjoy hanging out with you? C'mon Jeff! Give yourself more credit. You're a badd ass cool Dad....... I bet. Haha

Damn it I was just thinking about that exact same thing! It's so damn shocking.

Oh! Ok so it's a tax. Hahaha

Presented by who? "tax" was not in the law.

I'm not an expert on law but didn't Roberts just change it from a penalty to a tax thus making it constitutional? And didn't Obama reject the notion that it was ever a tax? Very interesting how this is playing out in just over a few hours already.

Great. Now what?

You can't make this stuff up. http://www.barackobama.com/obama-event-registry/

I love Muddy Waters!!!

I wish! Then I would have had a lot of help going to college! But I see where you're going with this and sorry....it's just not reality.

Is the DREAM act not a reward for entering into this country illegally? Kinda seems like it.

Ahhhh geez, I never saw uncharacteristically not flippant but I did see constantly flippant... I am not in favor of awarding illegal aliens citizenship, whether it's a republican or a democrat. I believe either way it's political pandering.

Thank you. I felt that was a shitty gift wrapped insult. I didn't quite know how to express how unsavory i thought the comment was. You summed it up nicely!

Man I feel so sorry for you and Wilco Me! My wife, my kids and 2 of my best friends enjoy Wilco with me to an extreme degree. It is true though that the people on this board are some cool muhuckers! (for the most part)

No one here even gets it! He is obviously pointing at the Muddy Waters sign and is too stupid to know that Muddy Waters was a fucking bad ass AND that the music heard overhead is not The Wilco but in fact it is The Radiohead. Get it.......?

Holy shit! Is this what it's come to on this thread? LOL I've met Jules and he's as straightforward in person as he is on this board. In fact I've met a number of people in person from this board and even the people whom I can not agree with on most everything I still found enjoyable to be around and find something from their trails of posts to see things in a different light. (although they may not change my pov) But seriously people, the real assholes show themselves in due time and those who enjoy debating, learning and sharing will shine just as well. But even in face to face conversation

I'll bet he's a small business owner. Do Human Resource Directors do a lot of hiring? Hahaha

Another stimulus......? I don't know about that. Does anyone believe that the American people are ready to hear that again? And I hate to feel like I should mention I'm not trying to sound like an ass I just really don't think they are and I'm wondering if any of you disagree.

How much money does the federal government actually give for hiring teachers, police and firefighters? Are those not usually paid for by local governments? Am I missing something?

Hahaha ok. So there are no defecits or shortfalls for meeting the "constitutional balanced budgets"?

Do they? How's that working out?

I would be proud to have a balanced state budget. I am sorry about what happened to Beltmann. The End

Beltmann laid out a real life situation that has affected him and his family and for that I am sorry. All I did was comment on a balanced budget. Hardly a praise of Walker. I was trying to get a true reading of how it was going in WI. You sir are the only one here pretending.....pretending you know how I feel.

That sucks Beltmann. I'm sorry to hear that. I hope things get better for you.

I read at ABC news that a high school teacher at Nicolet Union High School District making $74,431 dropped to $72,125 and another teacher salary at Abbotsford School District dropped from $48,805 to $48,415.

Most of what I've read says that WI is trending to having a balanced budget by '13. Looks like something to be proud of. It's more than we can say as a country.
