Bail Out a Good Idea?

Weekend Wonder

September 21st, 2008

This post isn’t really a rant more than just some questions and talking points. Yea, some come from way out in left field but fun to consider none the less.

Should human resource spending be legislated and packaged completely separate from project spending? Oh, what am I thinking, how would anything get approved if they can’t put a face on it… thoughts?

Minimum wage went up playing a part in weakening the dollar forcing investors to place assets into commodities (oil), driving up the price, making it more expensive for companies to operate driving up the cost of everyday items making the new minimum wage actually worth less than the previous.

Should military recruiting be a joint command? Currently all five services are spending money and resources looking for the same people… Could a Sailor find a Soldier? Could an Airman find a Marine? Heck, just think of the money we would save reducing our efforts down to a single NASCAR!

When was the last time you gave blood?

Libya to receive reparations for Reagan air strike. Country will be paid ’settlement’ for U.S. retaliation after terrorist attack. It wasn’t long ago the victors wrote history, today the victors pay reparations…

If authorities tell you to evacuate an area and you make a decision to stay how are you a “victim” if the worst happens? If you have to be rescued should you have to pay for the resources used to come get you?

How is it a $700 billion bail out is a good idea but tax cuts to corporations are not?

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays!

Until next time, Stay safe!
