ahh..SNAP....reminding us that the war on poverty is right up there with the wars on drugs and terrorism......as far as effectiveness of the intervention compared to costs.

Of course anything...

When was going thru my 529 tutorial it calculated that I needed to set aside ~$400/month for my son.....seriously...one kid...$400/month for 18 years?

I'm only putting about $200/month away in...

I would like to see colleges offer the loans and then get a % of your salary for a specified period. That way they'd have some skin in the game as far as producing successful graduates.

I'd...

My undergrad ran about $100/hour (OU mid 90s) and overall was a great value......graduated with only about $20k total in loans. My grad degree was outrageous/hour but my employer picked up the...

Nothing like taking 5 minutes to read Charles Hugh Smith. I liked his book Survival+ but have not read the others yet. I can't complain too much...while my undergrad was value added I pretty much...

That's one way to put it...another way would be:

"Previous 16 quarters of growth caused by deficit spending"

None of it really matters if both budgets relied heavily on cuts in total outlays and increases in revenues in the outer years of the 10-year budget. Neither ****hole will be around during that time...

I have no one to vote for.......maybe that Johnson guy from New Mexico.

Our viewpoints differ because our lifestyles and socio-economic backgrounds differ. Of all my friends that invest outside of their managed IRAs I do not know any that have bought a bond. I invest a...

Do you know very many folks that actually own bonds....corporate or munis? And no I do not mean mutual funds that invest in debt securities.

They are complex and usually require a larger...

the stock market is a market.....with buyers and sellers. Over the last 30 years buyers entering the market have outnumbered the sellers leaving. This has always put upward pressure on the broader...

I don't like the SEC, their fans, or the feedback loop that is created by the media sucking their d_cks every year.

But I also do not like Bob spending his time on anything other than...

I'll admit it is not the perfect situation.....but I would have rather expanded the B12 than go to the SEC or B1G. Of course I did not believe that these folks were really content with 10. The PAC...

How did you determine that the PAC and B1G are better than the B12? TV deals...ok. On the field performance..not from what I can see.

We are not a fit for the SEC or the B1G. I cant stand...

I don't see that happening. Usually it is the 1 loss teams that are fighting to get in. I'm just saying that being in the B12 has not hurt OU to date.....at least not nearly as much as stinking it...

Boren.....although he is a realignment idiot and should not be let anywhere near a decision did not make us irrelevant. Beat KSU and UND and OU is playing for it all.

All OU has to do is win. ...

Here is a place to start. If you can get through the first 3 minutes of crap. The rest of the show is about 40% accurate and 60% not telling the whole truth. While that may seem bad it is prolly...

Is it true that the gubment settled with the Ruby Ridge Survivors? The daughters and Weaver himself.

I've always wondered about the ATF agent that allegedly shot the 14 y.o. boy in the back. ...

before 1913 there were a few chaotic moments where a central banker "voluntarily" helped and "saved" the day. By preventing bank failures and runs the herd was sold on establishing a private central...

It's nice that we have the ability to transport a 53' van trailer to almost every part of this country on a public highway. We don't have the same population density as many of the other top...

I may be libertarian-leaning but that is only when compared to the average Statist/Interventionist that seeks peak .gov intervention.

I am actually a fan of centralized intervention such as DoT,...

This thread reminded me about the illegal alien v predator flick.

The scary thing about cyprus is how the government changed the rules after folks had made the decision to put their money in savings. It's one thing to say we will increase taxes on next years...

The best thing about WA is the mild temps and easy access to water to my west and mountains to my east. But I cannot handle I-5...too much stress...i'd die in 5 years from a heart attack. Also,...

At least in Okie we can drink at the strip clubs. Here in WA or at least my county you have to sip on some soda while watching !!bOObies!!.

I'm debating on where to retire: Montana, Idaho, Okie,...

If I could only buy some scotch on sundays and also grow pot next to my tomatoes we'd be #1.

I'm guessing that the OP is not a fan of our founding fathers or doesn't have a clue that they were rugged folks that were anti-government.....and were involved with trading arms, beer, wine &...

There is a surcharge on top of the listed prices (as far as those that claim it is so cheap). I shop at the commissary but also WINCO and Trader Joes.

dear op....you never answered my question about every 501(c) org.

Do you think all of these orgs should lose their status or just the religious ones?

Not sure where the 70 billion calculation came from. I mean are they talking Fed Income taxes, state income taxes, local property taxes or all of them combined?

While they may be able to ESTIMATE...

meh.....what's every one arguing about here?

Instead of being $26 trillion in debt we will be $24.4 trillion in debt in 10 years?

We may not make it that far as a solvent government.

We...

I've never been able to fit on one side or the other of the debate. I hate government intrusion into people's lives but I've always struggled with understanding what kinda sick individual would...

While I am prolly on the opposite side of the immigration debate as the OP this kind of stuff worries me. The rule of law is a very fragile thing. Why should the rest of us peasants follow the laws...

here is one of WY's attempts back from 2010. Not sure if it passed.

here is a draft of the current attempt:

she has nothing on Elizabeth Shue

If you knew the correct spelling then you understood my point.

Bama with some nice balance. I like how they throw it deep every now and then.

ND needs to run some bootleg options

I wonder if cuckold Stoops is watching in awe.

The run opens up a lot more when the D has to be concerned with a +20 yard p**** down field. Rather than just defend the dink/dunk **** within 5 yards of the LOS.

Great analysis bro......well not really.

You forgot to mention that Obama and the Pub Congress have passed/signed appropriations bills that have (along with mandatory spending) resulted in...

Anyone think of any clever guest book comments.

I thought about one from Kelvin Sampson.

pretty much gone.....my last hope is that this is like 99......well except for the fact we were leading at one point in all 5 losses back then....I think.

The Run up the middle on every 1st down in the second half.

Am I the only Pub (even libertarian leaning) that wanted the temp tax breaks to end? We were robbing FICA and the W income tax cuts were intended to be short term to stimulate the economy.

The change at HC had more to do with aTm's success than conference change.

I only had 1/2 of 1/5 of Glenlivet.

Good thing I was not totally sober though. That game was a depressing end to an average season.

We have a unique combination at OU

-an OC that is too scared to stretch the field in big games
-a DC that is a has-been adn...
