And from a business standpoint, I can say from long experience, that isn't discussed as a way of keeping up with inflation and risings costs, but as a way of shaving input costs to increase the quarterly revenues and satisfy the shareholders, who demand constant growth of those numbers. Blame capitalism. Better yet, invest in the stock of those companies.
I don’t believe your 9%. I don’t believe any statistic from any true believer, which you obviously are.
And BTW, the fact that you think 9% is either small or insignificant (even if it is certainly understated) proves to me beyond a shadow of a doubt that you don’t care about the subect at hand (the retardation of America) and would rather push your pet: drugs.
So push away. But I’m not buying.
It's from the Drug-War-waging federal government: http://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/NSDUH-DetTabs2013/NSDUH-DetTabs2013.htm#tab1.1b

You don’t care about the retardation of America by the drug alcohol.
Ok. So now I think we really have reached a point where we have to agree to disagree.
That made me laugh.
Today five “justices” (sic) of the Supreme Court, contrary to nature, reason, and moral law, and in violation of the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution they are sworn to uphold, trampled on the rights of states to have laws against homosexual “marriage” (sick). May their names live in infamy: Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan, Anthony Kennedy, and Sonia Sotomayor.
Of course, I and millions of other Americans will never recognize the legitimacy of their evil and unconstitutional ruling. And as an ordained minister, I will never conduct a homosexual wedding, regardless of the consequences. “We must obey God rather than men” (Acts 5:29).
What I will do is to work to defeat any political candidate who approves of this constitutional and moral abomination. And I will support a presidential candidate who will appoint true justices, in hopes that they will overturn this monstrous decision—along with a similar unconstitutional ruling, i.e., Roe v. Wade (1973), which likewise trampled on the rights of states to have laws against abortion.
I think you’re right about Lincoln and the War Between the States where the seeds to Fedzilla have been sown. I would have agreed with Barry Goldwater on the civil rights bill in 1964. It was bad law to the point where any group who has an ax to grind can use it to get their way. Getting back to Lincoln, he was no saint in my eyes but at least he enough class with malice towards none, but the long slide down did start. Things like marriage should be left to each State to decide, or better, the people themselves. Instead we have them legislating from the bench. That is wrong.
You’ve got a good point, but one Ronald W. Reagan had already put Anthony Kennedy on the court nearly three years before the perfidy of GHWB.
You know for sure that if Kennedy had balked, Roberts would have gladly provided the fifth vote.
This is true, but without George HW Breaking his word, we wouldn't have gotten Ginsberg or Breyer. We would still be two votes ahead, and I suspect we wouldn't have gotten Kagan or Sotomayer either, if George HW had simply kept his promise.
HW Bush got started much earlier than breaking his word on taxes, by undoing Reagan’s legacy practically from the day he moved into the White House (now known as the Rainbow House/gag) Those black-robed ninnies just trashed 238 years of American law, 1000 years of British common law and 6000 years of recorded human experience to reach a “cool” and “trendy” decision on the legally solid basis that “it’s all about love” ! /puke
After the previous nominee, conservative Douglas Ginsburg, was scuttled for past marijuana use.
No argument from me. George HW Bush was the worst mistake Reagan made. His presidency was a disaster. The only thing he did right was to appoint Clarence Thomas.
Someone who threw away a career for the sake of weed sure did lose a lot for that indulgence, didn't he? Of course this was back when the nation was saner.
Stealth Candidate from Sacramento. That battle was lost when Bork was successfully Borked. It is just another manifestation of the destruction caused by allowing Liberals to have a monopoly on all forms of Media.
