Make a 12 month file. With Jan.-Dec. Keep all of your receipts!!!!!!! And bills. Or money order receipts. Each time you buy something add it to your caculations for that month and keep it in the month you bought whatever in it. When taxes need to be filed you'll have how much money you have spent in each month and the receipts. Some stuff can be deducted. Like cell phone bills and gifts to others and you have to have the receipts or money order receipts or checks to prove it.

I work at Intuit so I am biased, but Quicken works really well for me. I started using the product when I was in high school and have never stopped. We have an online version and a desktop version. The online version is only $2.99 a month. Both versions are great for expense tracking, budgeting, etc. http://quicken.intuit.com/ It doesn't sound like QuickBooks is what you are looking for, that is an accounting software for businesses -- also by Intuit. Good luck finding what works well for you!

I use MS Money and it is not that hot. It is simple to use but has some flaws, especially in different currencies. What can you expect? It is Microsoft. Anyway, for simple budgeting and conciliation processes, Money is an acceptable option. Money magazine recommends certain online services, i have not tried them but you can continue your research there.

Yes, with conservatives money.


2
No. They borrow the money from China. No, wait, that's how neocons fund wars.


3
If with some else`s money, yes.


4
No they reley on those that work for a living and future enslaved generations to fund thier spending orgies.


5
NO they do not. That is why the Unemployment extension has not been passed yet.


6
If by stealing from hospitals, doctors, and private insurance you mean....finance, they did until their government programs caused 50% year over-year-price increases.


7
Yes! It is the REPUBLICANS that pass the MAJOR government programs and do not pay for them and I could give you many examples, but I am sure you are not even wanting to hear that, but I will give you one....Medicaire Drug giveaway by Bush to the tune of over 500 billion dollars not in the budget or paid for and done on reconciliation and also the tax cut for the rich to the tune of 900 BILLION not in the real budget but costing us so much. I wonder what you would say about the illegal and unwise war in Iraq to the tune of 3 trillion not put in the budget. So, I say DEMOCRATS ARE PAYING FOR THEIR PROGRAMS AND TRYING TO MAKE THEM SUSTAINABLE. THE REPUBLICANS CRASH THE ECONOMY AND BLAME IT ON THE LIBERALS which in my neighborhood are called Patriotic Democratic Americans.

"Do liberals adequately finance their government programs?" Well, LBJ thought that 40 billion would be enough for Medicare.

Liberals loot and pillage their people while sending out a message of desperation and hatred of the 'old traditions'. Then they always promise a path to a better future. Republicans loot and pillage their people while killing people over seas for the money and sending out a message that the US is a special magical happy place where nothing bad happens. Then they always promise a path to a better future.


10
Yes with OTHER PEOPLE'S money


11
You mean like how your Li'l Moron Bushy didn't adequately finance his incredibly stupid "No Child Left Behind" to insure that it would fail so the republicans would have the excuse to fund their nasty elitist church schools and trash public education????? You mean like that? Yes - liberals do adequately finance their government programs.


12
Ask Bush's people. They were experts at keeping Iraq war spending OFF THE BOOKS.


13
No, they basically fund them just enough to exist but not enough to do much good. Trying to get help from the government is like trying to drive your car 50 miles to a gas station with only enough gas to go 40 miles in your tank. In many cases you would be better off to not even try, you'd be better off just trying harder to make it on your own. You have to be poor to qualify for anything, and it's not enough. Lower middle class suffers big time but is considered "rich" by the democrats and gets no help so is worse of even than the poor.

Every one is going to tell you how the job market sucks and how the degree won't help don't listen to them. If financing is what you wanna do then do it. The market for finance is opening, I would take out the loan. Don't use more money than you have to. While in school get an internship andor job that way you get experience under your belt. Nowadays it doesn't matter wat degree you got but its about who you know and wat you done. Everyone was telling me not to do law because the field is over crowded and now I just finished my internship and I am now working as the firm's paralegal and I just got accepted in law school and as soon as I get my J.D I have a job... its not going to be easy but if its wat you wanna do and work hard because it will go well for you.

Just act as though you are thinking of purchasing. You'll get the info. Bear in mind that the ones they use offer a year or so with no interest. The catch is that if it is not paid in full to the penny in one year, interest is charged for the entire year. And legal. This should be spelled out to the customer, but "neglected" by many.

What is the average GMAT score accepted by PhD programs in the US

What is the average GMAT score accepted by PhD programs in the US?
I'm a Finance major at Western Kentucky University with a 3.8 GPA looking to get into the best PhD program that I can afford. In the spring I plan on taking the GMAT and I am wondering what the average score is for admittance into a good/great Finance PhD program. I am aware that having an MSF and some corporate experience are often requirements, but am simply interested in how the GMAT factors into the admission process.
Higher Education (University +) - 1 Answers

An MSF and work experience are never requirements, in fact the best preparation for a PhD in finance is a statistics master's degree. Anywho, I hope you know that all finance PhDs are fully funded, so getting into the best program you can afford means just getting into the best program you can. For the top programs the average GMAT is probably around 750, and the cutoff is around 700. Score lower than 700 and you don't make it past first round of admissions. For the rest of the schools in the top 50 I would say the average is slightly lower, bit still with no one under 700 (maybe a few...). In my program we have yet to have a kid come in with lower than a 710 GMAT. I would check out the TestMagic.com business forums to get more info, since lots of finance doctoral students hang out there and can answer your questions. With just a finance degree, though, you won't get into any programs (or it will be very hard), unless you have taken enough courses for a math degree, as well. I would recommend a master's in something very quantitative. Good luck!

Know of any good Ph.D. programs in Finance

Know of any good Ph.D. programs in Finance?
I'm extremely interested in pursuing a Ph.D. in Finance and I'm trying to find the best rated school where I actually have a good chance of getting accepted. Here are some details regarding my qualifications: - 3.9 gpa and double degree in Business Administration and Accounting with minors in Liberal Arts and Spanish - 660 overall GMAT (41 Verbal, 39 Quantitative, 6.0 Analytical Writing) - 2.5 years experience as full time accountant at CPA firm - Should be a CPA within the next year Unfortunately, my undergraduate degree is not from a widely known school (I went to a selective admissions Scholars' College affiliated with a small state school in the South), I have yet to complete any graduate education, and my only college math was Calculus I and Business Statistics (a lot of good programs seem to require Calculus II and/or linear algebra). If you know of any good programs appropriate for my qualifications, please let me know! Thanks!!

Unfortunatly, you don't stand a chance. with your current qualifications. Acceptance rates range from about 1 or 2% at the top of the top schools (i.e. univ of chicago and MIT) to 10-15% at 4th rate no name schools. Look up finance doc student profiles at 3rd and 4th tier universities. Even tHey almost always have degrees in engineering, math, comp sci, and physics. Even though they list calculus 1 and 2 as min requirements, most programs won't even look at you unless you have completed the the full calculus sequence (differential, integral, and multi-variable), differential equations, linear aglebra, probability theory, abstract math, and a real stats class or two (business stats is BEYOND worthless!). In addition, to be reasonably competitive, you should alse take real analysis &/or numerical analysis and stochastic processes. GMAT also rules you out. Even at 3rd rate programs most doc students accepted into finance programs score 700+ on the GMAT and at least the 90th percentile on the quant portion. Your work experience is also worth next to nothing. PhD programs are all about training researchers. You HAVE TO demonstrate that you are capable of coming up with original, publishable research (i.e. those published in the journal of finance and the journal of financial economics) and your work experience does not relate to this in any. Sorry to be so negative, but you need to know what you are getting into before you make that kind of investment.

Hey homer – is there any chance at all that you know what you’re talking about? Lets address your wonderfully written rant in a serial fashion, shall we? First off, her current qualifications would have the lower tier universities licking their lips – and if she made the right contacts she could go to any university she wanted. Yes, acceptance rates are low at every Ph.D program. The reasoning for this has more to do with the fundamentals of Ph.D programs and less to do with school prestige. Doctoral programs in every field assign you to an academic advisor for the focus of your research. Each faculty member will have at least one and no more than four protégés at a time. It takes 4-6 years to graduate and there are usually 3-5 finance professors… so, the turnover rate is not ideal. The reason for the poor acceptance rates is mostly due to students’ unawareness of this concept. When you apply you are applying to a particular faculty member – not to the university. Unfortunately, students do not realize this and they apply to programs that are not intending on brining anyone in. Aimee, I suggest you email the faculty members who have research interests similar to those of your own and establish a professional relationship with them. Make sure they are planning on bringing someone in and keep in touch until decisions are made. Back to the fat, yellow guy. OK, so your ignorance in this domain was a bit apparent with the “you don’t have a chance” spiel… but maybe you’re just having an off day?? I mean, you’ve obviously sacrificed any chance of social participation in the search of people to talk down to via Yahoo answers. Level 6? Is that a pathetic scale? Anyways, lets move on. When I was accepted to the Ph.D program at University of Pennsylvania, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a top tier school, I had applied with a 680 GMAT and a lower gpa than Aimee’s. I also had a double degree in Business and Accounting (which is completely appropriate – I don’t know why you would want degrees in the sciences). I had an economics minor and, like most other undergrads, no significant research experience. They were hesitant to accept me… want to know why?? Because I had no work experience!!!! Business is an applied setting, genius – if you’re going to theorize over it and research your theories you better have spent some time with your sleeves rolled up doing the work. Top tier programs want to see that, and, Aimee, that will help you TONS. Homer’s right, they do want you to complete the calc. series, but that can be done after you’re accepted. No one will turn you down due to a preference of calc classes. Your first year or two are to make up for a potential lack of math history. And the list that this guy threw out there is completely meaningless – no undergrad has taken half of those courses. You take almost all of those after you are accepted into the program. OK, now for the GMAT scores. The GMAT is designed to produce an annual mean of around 500 with a standard deviation of around 100. So, Homer, if you had put any value into statistics and didn’t think of it as “BEYOND meaningless” you would understand that a 660 is 1.6 standard deviations above the mean. That puts her at about the 85 percentile – which is splendid. The emphasis on math exists, like you said, but not as much in Ph.D programs (as compared to masters) because the focus in these programs is PUBLISH OR PERISH. So, you better know how to write and research. Besides, no one will reject you based on 40 GMAT points – if so, that’s a faulty system. A lack of research experience can set you back a bit. I didn’t have research experience either and I was accepted to a top program in the country. Meet the right people, say the right things, show them that you have had nothing but academic success, work experience, and great GMAT scores. Kick ass at your interview and have strong letters of recommendation. You could walk into a bottom tier school on red carpet or you could sneak into a top school like I did. Either way, take my advice – not Homer’s. As much as he loves research, he obviously didn’t do any of his own before mouthing off. If he has enough time to patronize question askers on the internet at the rate that he does, he obviously doesn’t work in the field and doesn’t know what he is talking about. I wish you the best, Aimee, and let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.

It does matter. The academic reputation of your MS program is not only going to be noted by future employers, it's also going to be important to those top MBA programs. So be concious of this, and choose your program wisely. That doesn't, however, mean that the school you're considering isn't fine. Reputation of program has very little to do with whether or not the school is public or private. Make sure the program is respectable, the school is appropriately accredited, and etc., and you should be okay.

POSSIBLE ANSWERS TO CRITICAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS WHAT TYPE OF JOB ARE YOU SEEKING? Response- Give information related to the industry, company, or type of job to show that you have definite immediate objectives and well-thought-out, long-range plans. NEVER say you “just need a job,” or that you “will do anything.” WHY DO YOU THINK YOU MIGHT LIKE TO WORK FOR ME? Response- Indicate that you know the organization and its reputation, that you have long-range goals, and that there is a match between you and the organization. Show that you make logical decisions and plan your future carefully. DO NOT use simple generalizations (good company, treat employees well, valuable experience, etc.). NEVER say that their organization has the highest salaries in the area. WHY DO YOU PLAN TO LEAVE YOUR PRESENT JOB? Response- You want an opportunity to perform, learn, and develop. You desire more responsibility and high salary potential. NEVER tell personal or emotional problems to answer this question. TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF. Response- Indicate only your experience, accomplishments, and skills relevant to the job you are seeking. DO NOT make the mistake of giving your entire life history. WHAT KIND OF SALARY DO YOU EXPECT TO RECEIVE? Response- Until you have a clear understanding of the job, do not offer a figure. Ask for time to mutually explore the position and your qualifications. Quoting a low figure can mean many years of work to reach the proper salary level or having the organization say it wants a person with a little more experience. Try to determine salary ranges for the position you want BEFORE the interview. Career Development staff, individuals working in the field, or library resources can help you in this determination. Indicate that you would consider a reasonable offer consistent with the area's cost of living and your responsibility and authority. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF YOUR PRESENT BOSS OR CO-WORKERS? Response- Indicate the nature and responsibility of your work. Answer objectively and avoid personal opinions-be positive. Do not knock others. WHAT ARE YOUR GREATEST STRENGTHS? Response- Provide work-related strengths and give examples of your success in previous work, school, or community activities. Broad, general statements (hard worker, good education, willingness to learn, good rapport with people, etc.) are not as helpful as specific examples. WHAT ARE YOUR CHIEF LIABILITIES? Response- Everyone has at least one liability; you may have several. Be aware of your weaknesses, mention a few, but definitely follow each weakness with a positive statement about what you have done or plan to do to overcome the liability. You may want to mention a liability you had several years ago but have successfully corrected. AVOID unsolved weaknesses.

Just look into the business college's within a university system. If they have a Ph.D program, chances are that they will have a concentration in finance, and usually subsections within finance. When you apply, you would be applying for the finance program and so would not compete against someone who's trying to get a concentration in, say, accounting. Note that not all business college's offer doctoral degree programs.

By the way if you buy a PC consider a MAC that runs XP and the new VISTA. Then you need anti virus use CLAM AV, its free, then a spyware detector use AD aware and Spybot. Office software is almost free or cheap, use STAR Office or Word Perfect or Microsoft Office. Dont forget a USB thum drive for backup transferring and carrying data arround. I like Dell, HP, Compaq and Toshiba especially for a Linux laptop use or even dual OS systems. COMPusa, Amazon, Staples, etc Dont buy a laptop if you dont need it, Desktops are much much cheaper!!

Get something with a good dual core processor, at least a gig of ram, and a decent video card. Get something you are comfortable with, I like to go to shops and test computers for myself. You will probably need Microsoft Office, or a free program similar to it. If you want to pay it will cost a lot, so ask for the student version. Good luck and happy laptop hunting.

You can get a nice loaded MacBook right now for about $1200 new. It is superior in every conceivable way to what you will get with a PC Laptop. Besides Mac supports their Hardware and OS as a unified system. Microsoft and PC Laptop manufacturers do not, in fact they blame each other for any problems and will bounce you back and forth between MS and the Manufacturer until you finally just give up. Hardware blames software and software blames hardware. Mac doesn't treat their customers like that, they actually support their product and they won't leave you stranded. http://www.pcconnection.com/Search?Term=Macbook&Offset=0&DefSort=Y&om=search Once you go Mac you will never go back, It's a promise. Any business software that you run on a PC will also run on Mac.

I am a corporate finance student at the University of Michigan's Ross School of business, and I can say by far that we are the superior choice.

Hmm. If you're talking about straight finance (discounted cash flows, etc.), then pretty basic algebra is all you need. If you're comfortable with exponents, then that's about it (1+r)^n. If you're talking about general Economics, then that is a different story altogether. I took a graduate Macroeconomics class once that use several concepts from Calculus III (Lagrange multipliers, etc.). If your masters degree is geared toward the real-world application of finance such as an MBA degree, then you'll be just fine with very basic algebra and you should spend your time getting comfortable with financial modeling. If you're looking into a more academic course of study that would involve broader economic concepts, I would hit as much calculus as you can. Seriously. Graduate level economics is no joke when it comes to math. Good luck!

Microsoft money comes with most computers look for free programs at downloads.com you can use Microsoft excel to setup your budget - mostly you want to keep your receipts for every puchase and if you go somewhere you dont get a receipt then keep a notebook and write down cash purchases good luck


3
The two main program choices you have are Intuit's Quicken and Microsoft's Money. As far as functionality, I think they are pretty much the same, I don't think you'll go wrong chosing either program. Each has different versions of their software with basic, middle and tricked out versions of their software. If you're thinking of starting to keep track of your finances, I would recommend you go with the middle versions as they offer more functionality than the basic versions, yet leave out all the bells and whistles you'll probably never use anyway. Every year a new annual version of the software comes out, but you don't have to upgrade every year. BUT, every 3 years or so they'll make significant changes to something in the program that will force you to upgrade to the latest and greatest. Not a bad idea to upgrade anyway, but something you should be aware of. You'll get as much usefullness out of a financial program as you put into it. It's up to you on how detailed you want to track your transactions. The more detailed you get, the more unique ways you can generate reports telling you where and how you're spending your money. This is, I think, the only con: once you start you must keep up with transactions, let it sit for a couple weeks and you won't remember what that $9.48 charge was that the bank is showing. The best thing about using a program to help manage funds is the online linkages you can make to your bank accounts, credit cards, loans, etc. All you do is activate the online service (usually free) and you can download all your recent transactions to match up receipts. And if you have several accounts, it's also nice to be able to see everything in one place and run reports across accounts. I say go for it.

I understand the University of Texas at Austin, Villanova, and the University of Illinois. "Washington" could be Washington University, the University of Washington, or George Washington University. Boston could be Boston College or Boston University, which are two different schools. All are good schools. I would probably see Washington University as the best, if that is one of the schools he is considering. Perhaps I would see Boston College as next best, primarily because of its location in a city with a substantial financial community. However, while the others are more removed from the financial centers in this country (and I wouldn't put Villanova's undergrad program at quite the same level as the others), they are also very good schools.

It should be pretty easy for you to get into the School of Business at Rutgers because you are enrolled at the school and you probably just need to finish your general education requirements. I think you should talk to an academic advisor or academic counselor and tell him or her that you want to be in the finance program at the Business School. He or she should be able to help you out and tell you what classes you need to take to get in.

The higher your GPA the better the chances. Also, the minimum GPA fluctuates every year depending on the strength of other applicants. Make SURE you finish all the required classes above before the end of sophomore year, and dont forget to apply to the business school the middle of sophomore year. Good luck, study hard, and pass all the above classes with at least a C and you'll be ok. Also dont forget to get above the minimum GPA, which is posted every year. Finally, you have to complete a liberal arts minor before you go to the business school. You wont have time to finish it once youre in.

Ummm... I should hope you could grasp this one by now if you're getting your undergraduate degree in accounting and are moving into finance :P. I majored in both and am finishing my master's of accountancy, and the two fields are EXTREMELY connected. Accounting lets you know the facts behind the numbers and how companies came up with them. In other words, a financial analyst who understands little about depreciation might not understand that two companies, who seem the same when using profitability ratios, might use different methods of depreciation. This can help you weed out some of the accounting gimmicks in financial statements (that us auditors also try to find!) and find the true profitability of the company's operations. If one company is making the same profit as another but using an accelerated depreciation, it's operation could be more profitable than they look. It also gives you a better understanding of inventory valuation methods (though this will not be as big a factor with the coming of IFRS), intangible impairments, and how to read the notes to the financial statements to pick out important topics not shown in the financials. Hope that helped a bit :). There are many other reasons why a background in accounting is great for a future in finance, but those are just a few off the top of my head. Good luck on your applications!

VR wont help you with your car or getting a car unless its job related. VR is not welfare nor should if be treated as such. VR is rehab. It helps you get back to work when you are disabled. As far as loans. Most any used car dealership will work with you as long as your credit rating is not horrible, like 500 or under, and you got some kind of income. You can buy a car straightout too. Like a used car. I see them all over for $800.00 bucks and under. You can save up your money or you can just buy it straight out. Once you get it you can fix it up some for really cheap. You can like upgrade the battery, get new air, oil, and gas filters , have the oil changed, etc. You can get all that stuff fairly cheap at any auto parts store. Some of that stuff is easy to change out yourself. The stuff that requires crawling under the car I would recommend having someone help you.

LSE, without a doubt. The reason LSE does'nt show up much in the rankings is as it does 'nt offer an MBA. The rankings in FT/ Guardian/ Times are all MBA rankings. The general consensus is that these should reflect on the MSc Finance as well. Warwick has a solid business school and a strong finance department. Cass has the biggest finance faculty in Eurpoe, has good entry standards and has; perhaps the strongest links with the industry. Its a favourite hunting ground for many I banks in London. The rest are decent places with nothing much to talk of and are rated on par. Finally, it depends on what you want to do after college. No matter the plans, LSE is the place. Its worth the extra buck. Programs in London tend to be very costly. Its 26 K at Imperial. If you want to stay in London; then CASS. But if you want to go back, then Warwick as CASS is not much recognised outside UK. I would rate LSE, CASS, Warwick, Durham, Lancaster , Manchester in order.

Learning Management Systems are probably the best solution. A LMS offers courses in a wide variety and all of the curriculum is created by experts in their subject matter. It also provides a cost-effective means for continuing education. A lot of courses are accredited but do a little research. If you looking for accredited content or just courses that help refresh your knowledge a learning management system provides a comprehensive catalog of courses. Here is a site that you can check out http://www.coggno.com/onlinetraining

As I know, this site has top listing of such college courses online - schools.iblogger.org

in the usa when the rich lose money they socialise it (bail outs) when the rich make profits they dont even have to pay tax...................... the end is neigh.................we tried warning americans but they are to busy argueing over red and blue it seems

You don't understand socialism. That money that the government collects would go toward programs like housing and healthcare. In fact if you remove the hyperbole, you have kind of described how venezuela is doing things right now, however their poor citizens get a HUGE benefit from the socialist programs, which is why chavez is so popular with the poor of that country.

In this country it will be a win/win situation for government and unions if we allow it to continue.


5
no and fascism is not corporatism. Remember that for every $1.00 the gov't give away, they must first steal $1.25 from you


6
... This country is indeed way too fascist, and it's ruining our country. Fascism is corporatism, and it's on the right. Socialism is on the left. I don't understand what you're thinking with your question. But I'm tired of corporate welfare. I wish we could just say NO to privatized profits and socialized losses for the rich and powerful. And it disturbs me deeply how many businesses are not paying taxes.

It's the corporation's government to begin with. They have the direct access to it, and they need it to exist. Of course they should finance it. And in the process it is the people who work for that corporation who are paying through their work and enjoying the services, order and structure, and collective protection. duh. doesn't everyone see it like that..?

Fascism is an autocratic government with severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition. We already got that when he went over the heads of voters, other politicians, and the constitution, to pass Obamacare.

good undergrad finance programs

good undergrad finance programs?
What university has a better undergrad finance program: Indiana University (Kelly business school), Michigan State, Emory University, Villanova University, or University of Michigan? Could you rank them in order from best to worst relatively speaking? My career goal is an investment banker so I would like to go to a university that has the most "bang for the buck" so to speak and a university that provides excellent job placement. Thx!

From best to worst, it would be like this: 1. Emory 2. UMichigian 3. Indiana 4. Villanova 5. Michigan State. Emory and UMich are incredibly difficult to get into, so I wish you all the best. Have a nice day.


2
UM is the best on your list, and is very competitive (Ann Arbor). That is the only one where you might get an IB job, and getting an MBA eventually also depends on your UG school and GPA, GMAT scores and especially your work experience since UG. UM also would have the best placement -- you should ask to talk to alumni; the catalog should have which companies hire UM graduates. For the MBA (which you will need if you want to stay in IB), you need 2-4 years of good work experience that preferably includes progressive mobility (meaning a promotion at least). If you are serious about IB, focus on UM and not on the others except possibly Emory, but again check where their graduates go for work. Sorry, thought I read MBA and that you already had UG done. Most of the info applies. I rank UM over Emory, esp for IB.

Do most law schools have programs related to finance/acct? Such as securities law, tax law, corporate law

Do most law schools have programs related to finance/acct? Such as securities law, tax law, corporate law?
I'm a finance major and thinking about going to law school and getting into securities law. I really don't understand the program though. Would I still be getting a Juris Doctor? Would the curriculum be standard common law taught or could the entire thing be business related? Thanks for any insight!

To become a lawyer, you need a law degree and be admitted into the bar AKA be licensed to practice law. That means you have to be prepared. You get a general legal background, the JD, then you get licensed, the bar exam. Then you find work and specialize. Where you work, will open doors to your specialty. The most prestigious firms do the kind of work you'd like to do. Aim high (ivy league) and do very well (law review). Then research your prospective employers well.

Where are we going to get all this money to finance all the programs and extended unemployment benefits

Where are we going to get all this money to finance all the programs and extended unemployment benefits?
It looks like we will be extending the unemployment benefits again; where are we going to get all this money? I understand that people are without jobs but the money has to come from someplace.

Take from the employed give to the unemployed, how can you lack appreciation for this simple logic. You know if they raise taxes on work to pay for people "not to work" then this will create and sustain jobs.

the SAME place they got it to BAIL OUT WALLSTREET and give them a TAX PAYER BONUS


3
Republicans are pushing for cuts in other programs to fund this, and Democrats are just going to make the money appear out of thin air.


4
Democrats have no intentions of trying to lwer the deficit. Obama will spend until he is removed from office.

You could stop liberating Afghanistan.

Do you understand how debt and deficit works? They work in such a way that we can prolong the period of time in which we have to pay. That means that we can spend more thant we have, and still be alright. Yes, they will have to be paid for down the line, and one can see that that would occur when the economy is in better shape. The deficit and debt have very little impact on the shape our economy is in. Edit: Yes, I can see people disagree with me, but I find it interesting that no one's actually responded to my point. The closest anyone gets is by talking about making "debt slaves" out of our grandchildren who will then want to "murder" us. Considering that the people who lived through the Great Depression (you know, that time when our budget far exceeded our GDP, and was therefore far more expensive than this one) are considered the "Greatest Generation," I find that hard to believe.

Borrow more from future generations. When we are old and gray we will become the most hated generation. Our grandchildren will murder us for making them debt slaves for the rest of their lives.

If 0bama has his way, he will borrow it. With him, it's out of sight out of mind. He will just let the next generation worry about it, but in the meantime this lying piece of marxism will blame the Republicans or GWB, never the low life liberals. Have the American people ever, in the 234 years of this country, had a president or an administration that out right lied as much as this president? I don't recall this happening until Clinton arrived, and it seems to have permeated the legions of liberals ever since.

Tax the middle class into welfare.


14
they will not follow the right way of doing it by fining the employers of Illegals real stiff fines and telling the unemployed they must take available jobs even if it is lower pay until the can find higher paying jobs and no unemployed benefits will be paid saving billions and cutting the national dept way down, we would have plenty of jobs by getting rid of illegals who pay nothing of medical treatments or schooling of their children, another billions of savings

Half of every insurance company bonus and half of every Wall Street bonus to its CEOs should cover it nicely. After all, they still get to keep half.

If you have the prerequisites for medicine it only makes sense that you could apply. I know for a fact that with a math degree you can apply to finance and law school. I have a math degree and am in finance grad school now, and my roommate was a math major, as well, and is now in law school.
