At least Oklahoma is not as bad as Texas. I remember the saying Oklahomans loved: "The wind don't blow in Oklahoma - Texas sucks."

Stupid on several levels. First, you are posting to the wrong article. Second, pleading the Fifth Amendment is not an admission of guilt. It is more often an indication that you don't trust the inquisitor to apply the law even-handedly. Finally, since I assume that you are talking about the IRS fake scandal, I'd like t...more

This is it, huh? I remember a license plate motto on Oklahoma plates, maybe it still exists:   "Oklahoma, we're OK".   That says it all to me. I've spent several months in OKC, twice, enough time to know that I would never live there; I try to avoid even having to pass though.   Given that OK is one of the state...more

What a sad bunch of comments. Everybody seems to have some anecdotal case to share about someone who abused the system. That n of 1 is enough for them to call for eliminating the program altogether. Nobody gives a rats **** about the millions who truly need the program to feed their kids. We have the lowest level of so...more

Barry S is all over the place. Just sniff, you'll smell his comments.

Hedonist - 2-3% may be the new norm for a while.  I'm guessing we won't see 4% for many many years. We just have too many problems, too many unemployed and unemployable people.

In 8 years, 96 months, GWB achieved over 300K job growth exactly 6 times. If you measure the start of a president's term in October of the year he takes office (the start of his first fiscal year), GWB LOST 1.8 million non-farm payroll  jobs in his 8 years; Obama has CREATED a net 5.2 million.   Go ahead, keep callin...more

I think you're missing the point. I don't see liberals praising the Dow - the point is that the Dow, and Wall Street are doing great, highest profits in 60 years, while job growth stagnates. Wall Street is doing well on the backs of the middle class - corporate America takes American ingenuity and investment capital, a...more
