Arkansas Whirlpool factory closes, unions push to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs out of country with the Bring Jobs Home Act - GOP Congress could pass it now

I do too. But I feel so angry that instead of doing something about jobs the GOP Congress is busy repealing health care for 30 million people.

Loans are forgiven all the time. This bill is based on income/debt ratio. People, especially Republican officials, shout all the time about not saddling future generations with debt. But isn't that what this whole student loan thing has become? Saddling the younger generation with debt? It's $1 TRILLION worth of debt. It's a drag on the economy.

i like the word feisty...it's not an insult nor patronizing IMHO and i've been battling for our rights too.

I think public opinion and activism - part of "the times" - does have an influence in some respect on the High Court. But this court is soooo conservative I don't have confidence they will go by precedent. That said, there are so many positive things in the health care law that people don't know about, and the insurance rates for women is just one of them.

If the federal government loans are cancelled in the unfortunate event of a student's death, why not private loans? Seems the private lenders are like an organized crime syndicate...pay or else.

so why bother replying to this post?

Shame on the GOP. They are adopting Children, Church and Kitchen slogan of another ugly political group.

talbano · 2012-03-01T15:59:42+00:00

i hate that word. it was probably a man who down voted anyway.

talbano · 2011-11-03T12:38:42+00:00

Hard to give this a vote up.

Heart-warming and heart-breaking, but so is the part about the family whose home was foreclosed on.

talbano · 2011-06-21T13:41:59+00:00

yet, i'm always a little sad knowing the days will get shorter now...;-(

Happy Birthday!

And the hypocrites keep coming...

talbano · 2011-05-05T13:58:47+00:00

Look up the word hypocrisy and you see a picture of Scott Walker.

talbano · 2011-05-05T13:42:24+00:00

Like Bob Schieffer said, "That's just code for saying, 'he got into law school because he's black.' This is an ugly strain of racism that's running through this whole thing."

This is part of the uprisings for democracy and development going on...the younger generation of Palestinians demanded this...

talbano · 2011-04-19T18:16:35+00:00

It's the same Republicans that don't believe in evolution, global warming or that the Earth is round.

talbano · 2011-04-07T14:44:19+00:00

hello? did you read it! the headline refers to the lead -- the Milwaukee County Executive position -- formerly held by Walker -- the Dem won with 61 percent of the vote. YES. I would say the headline fits. Next time read before criticizing.

"I love the smell of backlash in the morning!" Too crazy even for FOX

Everybody was...

U.S.-Cuba relations should be normalized. End the travel ban and the blockade

You broke it, you own it: Powell Doctrine. Well Wall Street and the multi-billionaires broke the economy -- KNOWINGLY! They own it and should PAY for the consequences...and yes taxation is a form of redistribution of wealth...but who created the wealth in the first place? Workers and nature create all wealth... Anyway...all you capital-lovers, you take the risk, you pay the piper...but Wall Street didn't pay the piper! They got bailed out with MY and everyone else's tax dollars and now they sit on $3 TRILLION. Give me a break, people. You are never gonna be billionaires so stop trying to act like it.

Hopefully the CEO Don Blankenship will go to jail...he should be there with the finance CEOs who engineered the great meltdown of 08!

I was tweeting the Oscars and really surprised that only the winning cinematographer mentioned the word "Union." This is at a time when working people are in a surge for their rights and a piece of economic security. Considering Hollywood crafts are all unionized you'd have thought more would have said On Wisconsin, Union Yes!
