If OUR government gives AIG 85 billion dollars to keep them afloat, does that mean we are share holders in that company? Our taxes at work. Maybe we should help all those who can't make their house payments, with our taxes.. WHAT A JOKE Terry

Yep, sounds like a good point, blame the Dems for the last eight years. The problems this economy faces didn't happen in the last two years. But thanks for your hands over your eyes view Dale.
Love ya bro,

Nice reply Terry? Everyone says drill but do they realize that the Oil Companys hold the rights to over 605,000 acres of land that they haven't drilled on? Or the fact that If we do drill off shore and hit oil in about 10 years that the oil goes to the international market (OPEC) and we have to bid on are own oil sounds about right to me. And as far as the Bail outs are concerned you can thank the honorable Phil Gramm and Republican (magority) for passing a bill 1999 that eliminated a bill that was set in place after the great depression that deregulated the monitering of banks and savings & loans. I agree that the Dems really haven't done a whole lot in the last 2 years but come on how do you overturn or do anything when a 2/3 vote is needed to override a veto and the other side doesn't want to work together. We need to quit the blame game and make the elected officals listen to us the American people. They seem to forget they work for us we don't work for them!!! Remember this is just my opinion but the facts are there.
Simper Fi Mikey B

YUP,DUH, I'm just going to give all my earnings to the Feds so I can be a patsy not a patriot. I believe being in the service shows we are patriots. I'm real tried bailing people out who made bad choices in the first place. No one is helping me with my house payments or anything else. Everyone signed on the dotted line thinking things wouldn't change. They took there chance with there eyes wide open. I know this will ruffle some feathers but to bad. SEMPER FI JoeD.

Terry, The Dems as you call them are in charge of congress and haven't done anything! I don't cover my eyes,I'm just aware of who is in charge now! Pelosi and Reid told us all of their great things that they were going to do for us,such as lower gas prices,create jobs fix social security,etc. So what have they done? Hey Pelosi wrote a non best selling book and went on vacation when gas prices were going through the roof!! The one thing I am sure that we can agree on is that GOD is still in charge!I appreciate you and Mikey B and everyone of our AFFR brothers opinions.This is a great forum,I just wish more of our brothers would join in! Lets Face it,Both Parties have done next to nothing for us,So again CONGRESS....Thanks for nothing!! Have a Great week-end my Brother!! I hope you can make the 09 or 10 reunion!!...Semper Fi!....Dale

Oh and speaking of Reunions~The "OLD MAN",Rich and I went to Mirmar on Wednesday and toured the O club where the 2010 reunion will be held and I think everyone will enjoyed the hospitality and good food and drinks they will provide. We went to the Leather neck Flight Museum next door to the club. It is a very nice Museum,with some very well done displays from WWI through today. We also went over to the Crash Crew and talked to the guys about the reunion and AFFR. Almost to a man they had no Idea we even existed. I'm going to start recruiting some of this new blood for AFFR. Some CCrew were up from Pendelton and I will go there next. Semper Fi!....Hope to see you all there in 09 and 10....Dale

Dale, Maybe you should give thanks to bush for this latest blunder.
All am saying is that this country has gone down hill since bush and chenney stepped in. Gas prices were about $ 1.25 IN 2001 and now we are paying $3.80. The senseless war in Iraq has cost us trillions and now he want to spend trillions on these bailouts.
Lets go to China and barrow some more money.
I said, on this forum, three years ago that I would never live to see our country recover from the cost of the war, now I don't think my children will see the country recover from the last eight years with these bailouts.
I have also said that we, as veterans and citizens of the US, must take our country back. If you think that when you vote thats all you can do you are wrong. If we stand back and say that don't effect me you are wrong again. Everything a elected official does has something to do with our lives, from a city councilmen to the President. SPEAK UP AND SPEAK OUT....... Its our right and duty.....
I could gone on but my ticker says calm down
I truly feel sorry for the party that wins this election. May GOD bless them and this country.
Terry

Dale, Hate him or not he is the one who has been saying that the economy is strong. I do agree with you about congress, but when you have a BULLHEADED, ONLY MY WAY man in charge what do you expect. Do you think that the auto makers should get help? Or do we pick and choose who needs help. We all are feeling the effects of this Iraq war, can someone bail me out!!!!!!!!!!!! if i fail and make the wrong investment does the government bail me out? ?? NOPE. bite the bullet and move on. 01/20/09 can not come soon enough no matter who takes over. Terry

News Flash! As it has been forever, Congress controls the purse strings,Not the President! He can be as Bullheaded as he wants, in the end congress calls the shots when it comes to the almighty dollar!! Again THEY ( our DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS) did nothing today!! The one vote today on oil drilling in the US is a joke...so thanks to the vote Oil climbed to $120.00 a barrel and the market took another big down turn. Pelosi and Harry Reid fiddle while Rome burns!! The democratic way. Maybe Pelosi will write another non best selling book on how it feels to be the "QUEEN of Congress" Now there is a Joke. Anyway have a great week Rich,Terry, MikeyB,JoeD,Eric,Larry and all my AFFR Brothers and sisters!.....Semper Fi....Dale

Dale, The oil boys have so much land now to drill on, if they produce more prices will go down along with profits. Now who would want to see the oil company's make a little less. They need to build more refinery's.
I feel sorry for you if you have had your eyes close until 2006. In two years the whole damn country fell apart. Back when the good ole boys were in charge life was so much better. The president got want he wanted, they deregulated the banking system, spent money like we had it, hell we can just print more I guess after the "MAN" barrows more from China or Japan.
Hope your week is just fantastic and safe.
Love ya brother
Terry
