Obama's inexperience and lack of leadership skills will prolong our Great Depression.

I sense that the USA is speeding up plans to commence WW III!

Forbes titled his book "How Capitalism Will Save Us". Somehow, I am skeptical he means 'us' as in mainstreet folks. If 'us' means his crowd of wealthy capitalists, that I would believe.

Here is another type of commercial that I would like to see at the Super Bowl Game because it reminds me of my college days.

The way to hell is paved with good intentions. Life begins at conception through natural death. My sperm has life! Life ends with wrong and immoral wars.

Religion cults are destroying America. Religion and religious groups must be taxed. Gays, Muslims, and Jews are being attacked, blamed, and ridiculed. Soon, Catholics will be attacked, blamed, and ridiculed for the Catholic Mafia’s decisions in the Supreme Court. That is why I rant and vent against some Catholics’ stinking thinking. The Catholic Church’s position on voting is to vote with your conscience. Extreme Catholic groups will preach how Catholics should vote.

Democracy is a political system and Capitalism is an economic system. Capitalism and Free Enterprise are different. Capitalists give money to people who start businesses and payback capitalists with interest on the loans. Free Enterprise is made up of people who start up businesses through their creativity and efforts. Capitalism brought us monopolies. Capitalists send jobs and money to China for profits. Capitalists have no interest in American workers and their free enterprise efforts. We need to rollback the Reagan tax cuts in order to have a functioning America. Capitalists make money on money and labor make products and something of need for us. Labor is very important to America.

Thom, thank you for the labor section on your show! We need at least one or two labor sections per week. Labor unions may have only ten percent assets for elections in comparison to corporations’ massive wealth to fund elections.

Are we heading for a war with China? “Seeds of Fire” by Gordon Thomas writes in this book that America by 2015 will have a nuclear war against each other. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!!! War, glorious war is near with China. 2015 is just around the corner! Yes, 2015 will be a glorious year for the end time and the rapture people. It is the year that America and her culture of violence will be honored.

Society does not need rich people. Society does need labor and the Middle Class. Steve Forbes, what is true competition? True competition is what they will define for it. Health companies do not want competition of any kind. They want a monopoly over our money and to increase premiums on a yearly basis of twenty to twenty-five percent. Health insurance companies spend it time dropping people and families from health care plans. We are a banana republic.

Let us start today, February 1, 2010, to be disciples of Jesus Christ!!! Let us start asking the questions have I done all that is possible to prevent unnecessary suffering and do I fight against injustices?

@nora, it sounds as though we may be in agreement. If there is going to be semantics involving what really constitutes space though then sure technically we may or may not be weaponizing space (I'm not sure how far off our highest orbiting spy satellite is). I think its a moot point though. Space, like all other places humanity goes, will be weoponized to the extent any country wishes to and is capable of weaponizing it. The only way to really prevent this from happening, or roll it back would be a strong organization (stronger than the UN) that would facilitate this. I think it might be wise for those of us who really desire peace to address the failures of the UN to act as nothing more than a titular body instead of a what it was initially envisioned of as a governing body of the world governments.

DOUBLE STANDARD regarding "mortgages"--

Check it out:

"Gilson is frustrated that real-estate tycoons can default on a $4.4 billion mortgage, but he's not supposed to do the same on his $31,000 loan."

If Steve Forbes wants that cheaper insurance in Pennsylvania, he can incorporate in PA. His corporation can then purchase insurance at the lower price.

My former employer provided insurance through BCBS of Michigan even though the division I worked for was in Dayton.

@nora, weaponization of space isn't a matter of if, its a matter of when... or more to the point a matter of pointing it out when in history did it start now. I think you can say that the first V2 rocket program (Germany WWII) was the starting point. However, if you want a more specific tie to America, then look no further then the first Spy Satellite put into orbit. Reconnaissance is the first step in a lot of air power weaponization, ie the original use of airplanes in war (WWI) was scouting, then bomb dropping, then the advent of fighters. So I'd argue, that space is already weaponized, but we're just at the infancy of it right now, so its sometimes hard to see it for what it is.

Or maybe Lincoln's "of" means "from", as in "governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed". I guess I'm one of those confused people I mentioned.

Steve Forbes ran for the Republican nomination for president once with a flat tax proposal that was soundly rejected by his peers. The working poor in America pay a much higher % of their income in all taxes than the richest people. If we have better health care in America why do 36 other countries have longer longevity.

Steve Forbes has no connection to real people. He does not operate in the consumer credit card economy. Because he makes his money from the corporate side of the equation, he dismisses the results of banking deregulation and promotes the same disastrous policy for healthcare.
