I agree with a lot of what you say and find myself with similar feelings about FDR over the past few years. I didn't read all of the link you posted, but one quote jumped out at me. "The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, demands bold persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it freely and try another. But above all else, try something !" I can get behind the idea of this quote, however, it seems that most government programs that are started and end up "failing" to some degree are rarely scrapped and started over. They just become bigger and bigger. That is my biggest concern when government says we have to "try something".

I believe there are still loans available for zero down payment or very little.

That was a bad loss last night. Kyle Macy brought up an interesting point before the game that they have played 5 of their first 6 (or something like that) on the road in the SEC. Their schedule gets a little easier finishing up especially in the Home to road ratio. I say they make the dance, but just barely.

Fair enough.

What are some of the things you dislike about Mr. Gingrich?

Probably won't start for another month or so. Pretty lengthly process. I personally do all I can to ensure I do not receive a "refund". I feel that with the thousands of dollars that I pay every year in taxes that the government can survive without the added benefit of an interest free loan from me.

I'm not exactly sure what you are saying? Are you saying IQ levels prevented many from low income levels from going to college? I was under the impression that anyone who was below the poverty level could have a huge chunk of their post-secondary education paid for if not all of it. I know there would be other hurdles to overcome other than cost, but I would think in most cases that would be the largest hurdle. Thanks for sharing your insight.

Aren't most people who are in school below the poverty level able to go to college for free through grants and scholarships etc....? Assuming they qualify with GPA and ACT scores?

Do we know exactly what information was passed on to JoPa and exactly what he forwarded on? Is there a link out there to anything specific? Was he actually told that a rape had occurred?

In regard to the 49%, what would be their fair share in your opinion?

So do you feel it is the government's responsibility to redistribute money from higher earners to lower earners?

Where did you get this?

Wise words.

Can you clarify the bolded? You voted for him because he created "the mess" and he should/would fix it?

Without a trial?

Looks like AP and yahoo are already on it.

Paul, IMO easily makes the most sense of all of the candidates. His only downfall is that he comes off as just a little bit crazy. IMO

I may have missed your response to this questions earlier, so if so, I apologize. What are some of the things you feel the government does well?

Just out of curiousity, what things would you say the government does well?

I wonder if any of the founding fathers even knew what a trillion was?

How does getting paid once per month kill you in regard to taxes and retirement?

12% per year was modest?

I admired President Obama's campaign promises to deliver change in Washington. However, as most probably could have guessed, that is much easier said than done. Some questions: Has the President changed the climate inside the beltway? If not, what would a President have to do in order to change the way things are typically done and is it even possible?

Thanks. It sounds like you are a very good person to step into the long-term sub role. Also, anybody that can spend extra time with their family I am very jealous. I haven't spent nearly enough time with my parents lately. Out of curiousity, if you decided that you did want to return to teaching full-time could you do so or would that jeopardize your retirement? Thanks again.
