A real spending crisis

It takes a lot of money to prop up the states. By the way, it isn't Obama's budget, it's Congress's.

"a genuine, full-blownspending crisis"

That's why you will no longer be getting the taxpayers to deliver your newspaper on Saturdays.

No more welfare.

Deeply disturbing Editorial.

Top answer: The important identity of a responsible media is playing an unbiased role in reporting a matter without giving unnecessary hype to attract the attention ...

Judging from lorexxx's posts.. Incitement of discontent is one broadcast or one newspaper away from cementing one's own affirmations.

I will not vote for Hillary in 2016 because she is a woman..I will note vote for Christie because he's fat.. nor will I vote for Jindahl because, you know...he doesn't look American.

Let's hook the next person up to a machine...probe him/her (seems this is the new thing)and see what we're getting. Cyborg for President!

Don't worry MDN, you'll still have an audience who wants to know about "IT".

MDN sounds like the old men on Hee Haw, "Gloom despair excessive misery deep dark depression...." They sounded disappointed that the analysts were wrong and we didn't spend as much as they predicted. Sounds like President Obama is getting a handle on things and it is getting harder to put a negative spin on progress! Housing market is coming back. Stock market is moving upward. Wars are winding down. Getting tougher to brow beat the President isn't it!

It is good to know you're committing at least one sensory receptor to this discussion, but since you asked me specifically, I will give you my answer....

It has to do with physics....

The mass of a body determines the momentum(P)of the body at given velocity(V)it is a proportionality factor in the formula:

P=MV

The factor m is referred to as inertial mass.

But mass, as related to the 'inertia' of a body, can also be defined by the formula:

F=ma Here, F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

There you go....do you understand?

"The important identity of a responsible media is playing an unbiased role in reporting a matter without giving unnecessary hype to attract the attention..."

Veritas, I'll agree with this statement when it comes to REPORTING, but not when a piece is clearly labeled as EDITORIAL.

Do you have the same degree of concern when the TV networks have one of their anchors or reporters provide an opinion piece at the end of the broadcast? Or when certain liberal publications engage in editorializing?

I don't, because they're labeled as opinion and not as facts.

Calm down. These online words of the MDN don't seem likely to really hurt anyone.

"F=ma Here, F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration. There you go....do you understand?"

Very clever(???) answer, Veritas. I suppose you want the gold star for that, huh?

Thank you loco.

People like lorexxx want biblical parallels (moses with a staff) to magically undue the locomotive(pardon the pun) that's been running without a conductor for the last 50 years... As much as I'ld like to climb in a time capsule somedays...I have to live as a pragmatist.

On the issue with the Media...I don't give anyone a free pass...Look at history loco..not just modern but pre-history....That 3 lb membrane we call a brain has depended on information for our survival and is the only body part that seems unprotected even with the 1st Amendment.

Started out with the first cave drawings.....If you didn't like it.. Get out of the Cave!!

Speaking of Moses, I believe he went up on a mountain to converse with God, while the people below "rose up to play" cavorting around the golden calf.

This just after they'd promised "all that the LORD has spoken we will do" (Exodus 19:8 - Exodus 20 is the receiving of the 10 commandments).

C'est la vie. Humanity remains the same: fickle, dishonest, out for themselves, generation after generation.

"What difference does it make" if the US spends itself into oblivion? Maybe a cave is the only place that'll be safe from the creditors...

I am certainly no lover of our illustrious leader. However, I can't begin to blame him for all the debt. We had a full house and senate to vote on those bills and he for the most part had to sign them too. Maybe we need to take a much closer look at what the senate and congress vote for. They need to stop acting like sailers on a weekend pass, sober up, face reality and stop the spending. We have plenty of taxes, we need less spending. Perhaps a closer look at the real problem. Entitlements! If anyone ever has the courage to bring up that subject in a meaningful way, perhaps then we have a chance. Till then, we slide deeper into the abis.

Dr. Carson did just that on Thursday with Obama sitting on his right. The question is, will anyone heed his message?

Dr. Carson was the most meaning full speaker I have heard in many a moon. Loved it! I think we need to draft him for president.

Wouldn't he be wonderful President? He truly is a light at a very long dark tunnel.

avoir une bonne mémoire, loco...

On that Moses thingy....I suppose if I drove up in my F350 it would bring on a whole new meaning to;playing,golden calves and the spiritual hardship of walking up the mountain... When most of us consider Moses to be the architect of political dissent.. ..and the father of modern religion......Who could argue with your convictions.
