Taking away the children is a good idea, really. Better yet is put some birth control in the Taco Bell Food, that will slow births 50-90 percent. Just an idea.

fattrad ..."Programs" will need to be cut and they will impact the less fortunate, of course we have several generations of "less fortunate" even with "programs". The only solution is to take children away from parents who are unable/unwilling to provide early education in the home.
Why do Republicans always blame the victims?

fattrad: Something radical must be attempted
I agree, amigo. How about we start creating jobs in America for Americans instead of in China. How about we tell the corporations if they don't like Americans, get the hell out and out of our way.

What do we do with them, Fatty? We all know terrible parents raising kids who will be terrible parents someday, but where do we put them?

I'm not surprised by your response, you have shown socialist tendencies in the past. Farmers should grow food when open market forces make it profitable and leave the fields fallow when they would suffer a loss (basic demand/supply, chedk an econ textbook).
Diametrically opposed to the Republican party line, FT? Doesn't sound like you. (See CAFTA or any G8 meeting...)
Ever notice those "anti-free trade anarchists" at rallies are actually more 'pro-free trade' than your party ever will be?
Jesus, I really thought money was green for a while in my life...ah, shattered dreams.
So, you support 'commie' pensions for LEOS(?)...your world view seems a little wishy-washy. Seems to be "socialism for some (when it benefits me, personally)."

426, the Republican Party as now constituted believes whole-heartedly in socialism for the rich. I just wonder why they oppose it for the rest of us.

It's called the Theory of Marginal Utility in economic textbooks. Basically it says that if one group of people can produce a good of equal quality and at a cheaper price, they should do that activity and other people must find activities that they are most productive at.
Are you an American, or an economist? Do you pledge allegience to America or international coproratism?
Why DO you hate America so? I'm curious.

fattrad, it seems to me that your theory of Marginal Utility is very selective as to who loses their job. CEOs in the People's Republic of China earn much less than their counterparts here, yet CEO jobs are not being outsourced.
Average compensation for CEOs in this country increased 30% last year. How does that fit your theory?

I bet that there are financial advisors in India and China that are just as competent and work far cheaper than you, fattrad. Are you ready to see your job go overseas?
