Didn't Bush's whirlwind money begging tour in 2006 have more to do with the further collapse of our economy...?

Didn't Bush's whirlwind money begging tour in 2006 have more to do with the further collapse of our economy...?
...than the Democrats, who never got to make ANY policy affecting the economy? Bush went on a big international trip to China, Saudi Arabia and Russia where he begged them all for even HUGER loans to keep from having to ask his own citizens to pay their way. That's when the deficit got REALLY out of hand - it wasn't Pelosi's fault, other than she didn't do enough to stop it. Wake up to reality people! You can't say the Democrats were in charge when they never got to do anything! They never were allowed to pass any policy at all except the Farm Bill - which had no effect on the economy at all.

this is a tough one.. why does America redirect Muslim Money To Israel ?

this is a tough one.. why does America redirect Muslim Money To Israel ?
U.S. Financial Aid To Israel: Figures, Facts, and Impact Summary Benefits to Israel of U.S. Aid Since 1949 (As of November 1, 1997) Foreign Aid Grants and Loans $74,157,600,000 Other U.S. Aid (12.2% of Foreign Aid) $9,047,227,200 Interest to Israel from Advanced Payments $1,650,000,000 Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Total Benefits per Israeli $14,630 Cost to U.S. Taxpayers of U.S. Aid to Israel Grand Total $84,854,827,200 Interest Costs Borne by U.S. $49,936,680,000 Total Cost to U.S. Taxpayers $134,791,507,200 Total Taxpayer Cost per Israeli $23,240 Currently Israel makes up .005% population of the planet and yet they receive fully 1/3 of all American Foreign aide.. wait there is more.. The Bush Administration from 2001-2005 Borrowed more money from foreign governments than every administration prior..combined ! http://www.house.gov/tanner/press109-050.htm Much of it from Muslim Nations..ie Saudi Arabia?.. I'm sure I am not the first to put this together..what's up to my obtuse brother on the second answer.. The United States.. OK? clearly I was referring to the US as I spoke of our current administration, but I know how much you hate for your peas to mix with your corn.. so there Ivri.. That is false.. and I am appreciative of your regional history lesson, but you conveniently missed my point completely. The fact that The Suadi's are a Muslim run country.. it is the religion of the land. They are not secular and they have laws written around prayer practices.. thus their main thrust is that of a "muslim' nation. The path that Israel has taken and the land that the Palestinians now occupy is a non issue? why would you go into that tangent I have no idea.. But the fact remains that the money from countries Like Dubai, and Saudi Arabia should end up in the hands of the Israelis is a huge Irony..no? kingstubborn That is my Point.. capitalism is the true religion of the world and in fact Judaism, Islam and Christianity are all pre-occupations for the masses so the rich can get richer.. http://www.wrmea.com/html/us_aid_to_israel.htm actually I do make sense..

America does no such thing, that is the United States that you are speaking off, you see, there is no such a thing as ‘American’ nationality, America is not a nation America is a continent with many nations in it. The US never named itself the name of the United States is a designation it comes from the end of the Declaration of Independence, "WE, therefore, the Representatives of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, in GENERAL CONGRESS, Assembled...". The preamble to the U.S. Constitution reiterated the phrase: "We the People of the United States..." (The authors of these two documents probably used the phrase "united states" in place of a list of colonies/states because they remained uncertain at the time of drafting which colonies/states would sign off on the sentiments therein.) The geographic term "America" specifies the states' home on the American continent. It is therefor incorrect to refer to US citizens as Americans with the intent of denoting citizenship, or the United States as America with the intent of denoting a nation. Americans have a term for US citizens, we are called United Statesians by the rest of Americans, to say American with the intent of denoting citizenship or America when we mean the United States reflects poorly on our attitude towards the 70% of Americans that are not United Statesians. Also, although some people would like to believe that America is not one but two continents North America and South America. If you think about it though the term U.S. of A. is a glaring example that this line of thought is incorrect, if America was two continents instead of one, shouldn’t it be U.S. of N.A. (North America)? We say Columbus discovered..... ? AMERICA, not South America or North America. Hope that helps.

5 :
You didn't subtract the aid given to Palestinians and to other Muslim countries. If those countries object to US-Israeli nations, then they shouldn't loan the US money and they can re-direct their cash to Hamas. They loan the US money because it profits them through reliable interest payments. To me it looks like Muslim leadership is simply doing a con job on the people in the street and don't really mind that Israel is there.
6 :
Yeah, real tough!! There is no such thing as Muslim money, so your entire thesis makes no sense. You might have asked a serious question, such as Are the Palestinians native to the land where Israel now exists? "The fact is that today's Palestinians are immigrants from the surrounding nations! I grew up well knowing the history and origins of today's Palestinians as being from Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Christians from Greece, Muslim Sherkas from Russia, Muslims from Bosnia, and the Jordanians next door. The civil and tribal wars between Yemenites (from Yemen) and Kessites (from Banu Kais of Saudi Arabia) ... are well known among Palestinians. "My grandfather, who was a dignitary in Bethlehem, almost lost his life by Abdul Qader Al-Husseni (the leader of the Palestinian revolution) after being accused of selling land to Jews. He used to tell us that his village Beit Sahur (The Shepherds Fields) in Bethlehem County was empty before his father settled in the area with six other families. The town has now grown to 30,000 inhabitants." - Walid, a Palestinian Arab defector, talking about the recent immigration of Arabs to Palestine. quoted from "Answering Islam" The current PLO and Arab claim (and mainstream media regurgitation of it) is indeed a very distorted version of `recorded history' and can only qualify as pure Orwellian propaganda. In fact, putting aside all the myths and propaganda, the only area that would qualify historically as truly Arab land, is the Arabian desert peninsula. Unfortunately, it seems that Goebbels was correct in stating that if a lie were repeated often enough, it would come to be "perceived" as truth.

Becuase israel is a thug a menace a parasite filth of the earth.

Your logic makes no sense. First, the record deficits over the past few years are because (1) tax rebates and lower taxes, (2) increased spending to defend the country, and (3) the war in Iraq.... Please spell out the connection of this to Israel??? Second, your numbers don't make any economc sense. Where did they come from? The websites that you cite does not provide primary or secondary sources. The amounts are not adjusted for inflation. Therefore, adding $1 in 1949 to a $1 in 2000 is like adding "apples" and "oranges"! Third, when the US sells Treasury bills and bonds, it doesn't chose who buys them. Investors in the US and abroad chose whether to invest in US debt or some other investment. Fourth, the countries that the US choses to give aid to is a choice made by the US government, not the Arab world. Fifth, how much aid is provided to Africa? To India? How much is spend by the UN in comparison to the US? How much does Germany spend on Israel versus the rest of the world???? I could go on and on, but your logic makes no sense.
9 :
well how many Jews have blown themselves up in a crowded market lately? You give money to your friends, not enemies.
10 :
Your logic is flawed. Let us assume, on the face, that what you claim is true. Then an analogy might be a case where I borrow money from the bank to start a business. That business makes money and I hire employees. I pay those employees. Can the bank (or anyone else) claim that my employees have the banks money? No of course not. Also, remember I said that the business madfe money. So, that money could have been used to pay the salaries, but then again, all of it is really just my money, and I just owe the bank some money. The truth is you partially contradict yourself. You, at one point, claim that Israel gets US Taxpayer's money. At another point, you claim they get Saudi Arabia's money. So, which one is it? The truth of the matter is that the money given by the US to Israel is something between the US and Israel and not between any other third parties. Which leads to the next question: So WHAT? Do you have a personal problem with it? Why don't you harp about all foreign aid that the USA gives out? Egypt is the second largest beneficiary of foreign aid, also totalingh in the billions annually. Yet NOBODY CARES, least of all, people like you. And Egypt is a non democracy. And Egypt is less pro American. And Egypt's economy is less viable (aka less ROI). I'm not arguing that Egypt should not get foregin aid. Just pointing out the obvious BSing that people like you do when you bring up the "oh Israel gets $$$ from America!" meme. its starting to get tiring.

Who or what is sending up gas prices?

Who or what is sending up gas prices?
I've heard it was OPEC doing it, then Bush went to Saudi Arabia to get prices down, but I also heard once that it was the oil refineries afraid that one day there would be no more gas to sell and were trying to get there money now. Now I'm confused. Who or what is making prices so high?

Here's the idea: For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY gasoline from the two biggest companies (which now are one), EXXON and MOBIL. If they are not selling any gas, they will be inclined to reduce their prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow suit. But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of Exxon and Mobil gas buyers. Pass this on to all the people you know and have them to do the same thing

No all the above answers are wrong!!!!!!!! The men who bid on the gas prices everyday are the ones responsible. Thre was a special on the news talking about how much money they make in a year which is between 2million and15million depending on the oil company

HELP! NVQ UK or SAUDI? what are the chances of a fresh grad nurse now?

HELP! NVQ UK or SAUDI? what are the chances of a fresh grad nurse now?
I am one of those unemployed fresh grad nurses here in the Philippines who strives to have an experience in a hospital or clinic. Volunteer work is harder to find now after the issue/ complaint of paying volunteer/training fees in a hospital. Now Im a hopeless pathetic fresh graduate nurse who looks for a job(may it be volunteer or paid work), for an agency or for a backer who has a strong position in a hospital u want to work with. Im so disappointed on how Philippines hire "qualified nurses" nowadays. You have to be "who knows who". Im sick and tired of this crap! These so-so nurses are getting hired just because their aunts or uncles are sweating their *ss just to have their nieces or nephews get hired in the same hospital they're working with! Unfair to those genuine, SKILLED, brainy nurses who best fit the requirements of the hospitals. Well, that's just a part of my pathetic situation now. My parents are not forcing me to work but my ego and my responsibility as a child to work for them or to somehow show myself that I have achieved something is killing me! That's an achievement for me---work! THIS IS MY PROBLEM NOW! Ive spent my days looking for a legal agency (with POEA license numbers). I came down to 2 agencies now from hundreds that I've set my foot in. WHew! Agency A is offering me a job in Saudi Arabia as a real nurse working in a real Hospital but the problem is they will have to "edit" my transcript of records. Making my 2010 graduation date to 2008 for me to be fit of having a fake 2 year experience. There will be under the table process. The agency officer knows that this is an illegal activity though they have POEA license. We had a discussion and I think the girl makes sense when she said" what are u goin to do here in the Philippines? Hospitals are over staffed and volunteer work is too hard to find unless youre going to work in a remote province. We are trying to help those hopeless nursing students and besides u will undergo trainings there in Saudi before you start to work. And also, you have your 2 year ojt way back in college right? ---- well, it sounds encouraging, trying to help me but im pretty scared about the "editing thing". Agency B is giving NVQ student visa to UK. I'll work there in a nursing home while studying. Ill be paying 3000 pounds. Half of it will be paid here in the Philippines but if you really dont have the money, you'll have to have loan. But wait theres more! aside from it you'll have to pay a staggering 310,000 pesos plus the interest rate of the show money which amounts to 550 k. I dont have 550 k thats why ill have to loan and pay the interest rate of it. Researching about NVQ gives me the nerve! Lots of negative comments that would really help me decide which is which. They said that NVQ student there suffered a lot. NVQ's are underpaid, treated badly, etc. And aside from these exploitations, expenses there are way too high that u cant even save money for yourself and let your family back home send money for you to survive. Oh my gosh! I have a question what are the chances of me getting employed there as a nurse after finishing the NVQ course, i mean i dont have hospital experience, Im just a fresh grad nurse with no choice but to go pathetic to agencies. Is there a possibility that ill be a nurse there after being NVQ? Are u seeing some heaven after you've worked and study ur ass out for two years? Do you think i might be able to survive for about 6 pounds per hour with a limit of 20 hours per week? Please do help me.. am i going to Agency a or B? i dont like to work for other field not related to healthcare like call centers as this is not my cup of tea. Help and maybe we cud be friends and talk it over the line. I cud give my numbers to you. I just want to know the real advice whether u want to say it rudely or nicely. Please post ur advices here asap coz the agencies dont stop bugging me. So im thinking for it so bad! Coz i dont want to regret that Ive lost my opportunity. Thanks people. Ill be very thankful for your help!

NVQ in the UK is ok to boost your education but not if you are a fully qualified nurse. You could not survive on £6 per hour working 20 hours per week because that is £120 which is not enough to survive on as rent etc is very expensive, my weekly rent for my flat/apartment is £68, council tax is £20 per week and electricity is £25 per week. Unemployment here in the UK is high and most of the UK recently graduated nurses are unemployed and for any job that is advertised there is up to 2000 people applying for it so I am not being rude but I think we have enough unemployment problems for the British person without people like yourself adding to it. I cant comment of Agency A because I done know anything about them but it doesn't sound legal or secure. Good Luck.
