7. Now at 25 minutes
and the only real news is they want to bring down Abu Ghrai and that 138000+ soldiers are going to be there for a long, long, long time to come (but we knew both of these, didn't we).

15. His reasons for sending troops to Iraq
Again the reason changes.

Not one mention of WMD. Not even a mention of Osama.

Here it comes, September 11th. Look at what happened. Vote for me or else it might happen again. Don't you want me to sit around for the first 25+ minutes of the next attack on American soil?

64. Same problem - 43 folks will be out of work - and owners retirement gone
Edited on Mon May-24-04 07:59 PM by papau
He has an offer to buy business that he thinks is his money. Tomorrow I must tell him about his pension liability, the PBGC attachment that will be put on the sale price - and the fact he will get nothing but a small pension at 65.

And the funding of the pensions that causes this just for a lot of folks that worked 10 or more years and are over 40, so a tiny pension that - granted - he underfunded for the last 10 years to get cash to keep folks employed is going to be a costly guarantee by the PBGC - and those 20k to 25k per year workers will get 3 to 4 k pensions - and the owner will walk away with nothing but a 15 k pension.

God - I got angry - I could not find a business plan whose negative cash flow he could afford for even 12 months while we hoped for a turn around. Overseas items are killing him as input prices rise, and he competes against finished product that undersells him. Ten years ago he had me put in a 4 % salary increase expectation for each employee in the planning - and now a zero increase forever - for folks making 25K - will not save him.

Tell me about GDP growth and the Bush recovery/boom that started 11/1/2001. Tax cuts sure help our small business persons.
