“You can't get mad at weather because weather's not about you.
Apply that lesson to most other aspects of life.”

Sorry Z., these are mostly old cedars so their isn't much usable firewood although I do have a lot stacked around from prior tree falls and I don't have a wood stove. I also have 3 trees down along the road that are substantial that I thought the firemen were coming back to cut after they cut me a way through it. If you are looking for wood and willing to cut and load your own except for that already stacked, let me know. We should be able to work out a time.

Discussing anything with Saline brings to mind Durango's joke of the old man going to the Wailing Wall to pray for peace...."like talking to a fucking wall."

We are better than that, far far better than that and note that the phrase "general welfare" in primary to all of the love my ghun stuff. It is interesting that all of those citing the Constitution for their gun rights can't get the entirte phrase right. A look at a blog site last night had 80% hate mail from gun nuts and all who quoted the Constituition, left out the part of the phrase about a militia. See that makes a big difference in what the SCOTUS should have said but wouldn't because they are lap dogs to the NRA just like the rest of the GOP.

The strike and subsequent firing of these workers resulted in cutting roughly half the scheduled commercial flights on the first day of the strike, and the airline industry lost substantial revenue… The air-traffic control system continued to function. Most Americans supported President Reagan’s actions. Internationally, the Soviets paid close attention to this incident and were struck by President Reagan’s resolve and decisiveness.”
Concerning Reagan’s performance in spending and taxing. Dan Mitchell of the Cato Institute commented:
In a post last week, I explained that Obama has been a big spender, but noted his profligacy is disguised because TARP outlays caused a spike in spending during Bush’s last fiscal year (FY2009, which began October 1, 2008). Meanwhile, repayments from banks in subsequent years count as “negative spending,” further hiding the underlying trend in outlays.
Reagan 0.5%, Clinton 2.5%, Carter 2.9%,Bush 43 3.7%, Bush 41 6.1%, LBJ 6.3%, Obama 7.0%,Nixon 8.5%.

When you strip away those one-time factors, it turns out that Obama has allowed domestic spending to increase at the fastest rate since Richard Nixon.


What were the results of the Reagan tax cuts?
According to the Cato Institute:
So Ronald Reagan a) collected more total revenue, b) collected more revenue from the rich, while c) reducing revenue collected by the bottom half of taxpayers, and d) generated an economic powerhouse that lasted – with only minor hiccups – for nearly three decades. http://thedailyhatch.org/2012/11/23/presid…
