Can you spot me a measly million or two?
If the Federal Government is willing to guarantee the loan - sure!!!!

SARCASM MOTHERFUCKER DO YOU SPEAK IT?

Yeah, every guy wants to know just what she does to be worth $1000's an hour.
Hookers make $1,000s to go away.
Doesn't look like he got his money's worth then.
I'd say he did - Spitzer was the one who got them caught with his cash withdrawls.

Exactly. And being indebted to these two corrupt, human rights abusing, militant societies benefits us in the long run how?
That's the pot calling the kettle black. Guantonamo, waterboarding, we have more than our share of dirt.
Uh yeah.....

You can't effectively outsource your dentistry, car repairs, or child care.
You can outsource medical care quite easily. If you don't have dental insurance, for major procedures like crowns, it's cheaper to fly to Thailand, get them done, and fly home, then to do them in the states. Same for cosmetic surgery and a number of other elective procedures.
Some people like having a direct relationship with the producer of the goods they are consuming - whether it be the food they eat, the jacket they wear or the surfboard they ride.

And then the Chinese subsequently took that money to payoff IOC officials to get the summer games there.
and helped pay for guns and bullets to kill Tibetan pilgrams hiking Himalayan mountain passes.

Then again, if everyone were vegetarians, imagine how much more land there would be to grow biofuels.eh? animal production and consumption isn't inherently inefficient

It'd be interesting to look at how state fuel-tax variations affect gas-station distribution near state borders.I'd wager there'd be 0 correlation. When local gas station prices can very as much as $.20 within 10 miles clearly price isn't a big deal

How much are Vegas doormen costing the taxpayer?
About $200k a year in unpaid taxes.
"unlocking the payscale" only makes the problems disappear in a Cato Institute paper. If you want to sustain skilled employment you need to be willing to pay for people when times are poor.

I wonder how far they will have to take it before other countries including ours start threatening them with pulling our athletes from the games.
In other news, Nepal closed Everest from May 1-10th

Unions are dying, as well they should.
The union I paid dues to for years was totally useless. When I actually needed them on 2 occasions they did NOTHING to help me. I was optimistic when I first joined, went to the meetings, tried to be involved, then I saw what a powerless, stupid, money-wasting thing it was. I was more powerful on my own than under the protection of a union when it came to employment issues.
ClimbingPanther of course can't wait to become a member of the AMA - a Union in all but name.

There's a booming market for Arabic language specialists?
I'm sure there are some overpaid, lazy, public sector workers. There's also Vegas doormen making $500k a year.

I hear this argument a lot but haven't seen any legitimate numbers to support the premise.
My job at a federal lab paid 20-30% under private sector with worse benefits. Which is why they had staff turnover >25% per annum
The least efficient sector of the economy I've found is small companys (<40 employees)

Jesus Christ Almighty. I'd love to watch the faces of quite a few posters on this site as they work their way through that list.
What, like, you've got a better self deprecating sense of humor than the rest of us?
he didn't get to Number 50
the funny thing about that list is none of its "white" anymore......

Oh yeah, and gov't wages are the same accross the state, regardless of local equivalent wages. So a public employee with a real cost of living in Seattle makes the same as a public employee living in Yakima where the cost of living is a fraction of Seattle's. Is that right? The whole system needs to be overhauled.
It's called welfare.
The Seattle Metro area pays, the rest of the state takes.
