I hadn't realized our government was so woefully incompetent in yet another way. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.
con: they need some markets with high markups, to support the high fixed cost of R&D
pro:but the foreigners, the Canadians and Euros dont pay that. Essentially they can sell to the foreigners at something closer to variable cost, while the US pays the fixed costs. thats stupid, make the damn foreigners pay for the research too

There is a difference between being the driving factor and the sole factor.I'm SO glad Democrats are taking the reins. I want to watch some people go into meltdown that have just been flapping their gums about, "It's the Republicans!", like a party is the sole factor.
When a party controls the Presidency and both houses of Congress, it's the driving factor.

Have you considered organizing overseas Serbs to make aliyah to Kosovo? Organize collective farms and hilltop forts? I mean cmon, if you guys wanted to you could pull it off - "if you will it, it is no dream" - would sure beat the constant whining."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

Ex-NFL QB Shuler wins congressional seat
By FRED LIEF, AP Sports Writer
2 hours, 18 minutes ago
Former NFL quarterback Heath Shuler won a seat in the U.S. House, track great Jim Ryun lost his race and Super Bowl star Lynn Swann fell short Tuesday in elections involving ex-athletes. ADVERTISEMENT
Shuler beat a Republican incumbent for a congressional spot in North Carolina. The race had been considered a tossup, and was one of the closely watched campaigns in the effort by Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives.

Meanwhile, California elected and then re-elected the Governator. Reagan was a two-term President...
Point?

I know this debate. I don't see adopting Walmart tactics (use volume to negotiate lower prices) as a damaging thing. As long as the government doesn't start legislating price controls, it's good for the market that we don't pay a higher markup just to support some local industry.Originally posted by lord of the mark

LOTM, I don't know why you feel the constant need to attack me any time I mention that issue.
It's fine here to mention the wrongs of the Iraq war and people do it every five minutes but don't daaaare mention Kosovo. I actually find the way you try to shut down any discussion on this subject very disappointing.
You obviously haven't seen my posts on other subjects, and I expect that less than 1% of my posts are on the Balkans.
Because challenging the orthodox view of the Kosovo conflicts is such a taboo, anyone brave enough to do so is going to stick out a mile, and get attacked for it. I expect that but the way you stalk me around this forum making snide little comments every time I post on the subject is beginning to piss me off.
Now knock it off before I say what I really think about you.

Re: so what next?
To be fair, at this point, it would be best not to say that you will do something specific when you know that you can't deliver.Originally posted by Kuciwalker
"Today the American people voted for change and they voted for Democrats to take our country in a new direction, and that is exactly what we intend to do," she [Nancy Pelosi] said.
BS. The Democrats have no platform whatsoever. What are you going to actually do now that you have the House and maybe the Senate?
Perhaps the Dems would have received a clearer mandate in this election, if they had put out a platform. But that's not what happened. So here we are.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Funding originates in the House, and it's up to the House to decide how tightly appropriations are mapped to specific activities. Iraq's an awful expensive war to fight.Originally posted by Arrian
Oh I generally agree. The mistake was made, and we can't turn back time. Gotta try to make lemonade out of lemons and all that. But I'd rather the Dems take a shot at it than the Reps, who have (particularly in the admininstration, which unfortunately remains unchanged) appeared delusional at times.
Bush is still in office, so it's not like there could be a wholesale change in course anyway.
