I am not sure why ppl feel they need to write biographies, but it should be mentioned that in the past employers forced themselves on maids of all colors.
I doubt I agree with her funding priorities, and I know the president hasn't been doing "a phenomenal job," but we do seem to agree about taxes and Afghanistan. According to a recent poll two-thirds of Americans also think the war there not worth fighting. We are also in agreement about respect for the Constitution's provisions concerning declarations of war, which obviously should include any Libyan involvement. There is no provision for being the world's policepersons. However, I do not understand what she plans to put in place of military action, and I fear she just wants to give them money. If that's the case, it would be a lot more efficient to just continue bankrupt them and let them fight each other.
Govt spending and inflationary monetary policies are the root cause of our economic problems and wealth disparity. From 1947 to 1973 median income after inflation more than doubled, but since then it has risen just 22 percent. From 1947 to 1973 the incomes of the poorest Americans rose 117 percent, the middle fifth 104 percent, and the wealthiest 89 percent. From 1973 to 2000, however, the bottom group grew just 9 percent, the middle 23 and the richest 62. The difference can only be due to inflation, particularly in the assets such as securities and real estate. These trends are not confined to this country, either.
