America lost alot of MANUFACTURING JOBS that went overseas. This means that all those people in manufacturing jobs will have to go out and find a new job, BUT he or she will have to learn a new trade which means that alot of people would have to go back to school and when they graduate will find that all those jobs you posted will be gone. CHECK AND MATE.

Apart from that Surfrat's post I am stunned by the compassion and (dare I say it) social care that many of the comment on this thread have reflected...
I guess not all Americans are Right wing nut jobs after all!!!
Thank you ATS for putting me straight on that point!edit on 21-11-2010 by davespanners because: (no reason given)

The government doesn't even have to do it, it's the same thing with the situation with the TSA, for 2 people who say I don't know I think it's wrong, there is some idiot, going no, no we have to degrade and humiliate ourselves and fear one another, it's the only way to be safe?
How do you overcome that? That's exactly how the government wants the people to be, they aren't going to educate them better, they are never going to disclose or explain the real financial dealings and obligations of this country, not even Ron Paul has the guts to do that. He certainly has to know a whole lot more about our debts and who they are owed to and isn't letting on, because I know a whole lot more about our debts and who they are owed too.
Yet you have that wacked out Patriot type, who won't listen to a thing that doesn't have mom, apple pie, chevies, and fox's news version of events and the wikipedias version of history, and then you have that pie in the sky liberal who just wants to say but, hey, what about gay, black, babies, with aides, shouldn't we be focused on them.
If it isn't that, it's the aliens are doing it all. or the every popular, it's Gods plan.
Brother, I hate to break it to you, but grab a snickers bar, these people are never ever ever ever going to get what's really going on if you draw them a picture and put naked girls in it.
All they want is to some how make it through another day, period.
Strangest thing, but entirely true!
What do you really think will happen when this money is gone? HMMMMM, STOCK MARKET CRASH AGAIN. Put 2 and 2 together. And all this other junk going on with our money. WE PAY IN TAXES. WHAT A JOKE. THEY OWE US. It's time america got fed up with the bull.

I understand.
It's just that from a lot of the conversation I see on ATS I get the feeling that things like benefits and social care are dirty words in the U.S.A.
I am glad to be awakened of my ignorance on that particular subject I truly am

If 700 troops are killed every year, by 2015 that would equate to another 3500 lives gone to waste.
If every year, for one soldier 1 million dollar is spent, and there is 150000 soldiers. That would equal to 150000000000/year just for troop spending.
In five years, that would equate to 750000000000. That number in English means seven hundred fifty billion USD.
What is the point of spending that much money again?
Westerners should be concerned.

You cant make people more secure by taking away the very freedom you are protecting. It is truly that simple.
We need to get back to basics and that includes our choices in the government. Listen to what they are saying and make them stick to it.edit on 21-11-2010 by Subjective Truth because: (no reason given)

TPTB want us to argue about every issue so we are divided. We need to remember the simple things that we all share and find common ground using that framework.

Don't worry about being on the outs I had the owner tell me that I should have been banned along time ago and I am still posting. But I do believe you are 100% wrong about the pat downs. I will say it again giving up freedom to protect the very same freedom is insanity. Fear is what they want because it is a great motivator. Heck we will be begging them to make us safe.
