Poll: More blame Democrats for recession You may pick more than one selection in the POLL!!:D

Number of Americans who hold the GOP exclusively responsible for the recession is steadily falling.

November 20, 2009: 11:24 AM ET

Are things really getting better?

Last quarter, the economy grew by the largest amount since the summer of 2007, but there are signs that things are still getting worse.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Nearly two years into the recession, opinion about which political party is responsible for the severe economic downturn is shifting, according to a new national poll.
A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Friday morning indicates that 38% of the public blames Republicans for the country's current economic problems. That's down 15 points from May, when 53% blamed the GOP.
According to the poll, 275 now blame the Democrats for the recession, up 6 points from May. Twenty-seven percent now say both parties are responsible for the economic mess.
"The bad news for the Democrats is that the number of Americans who hold the GOP exclusively responsible for the recession has been steadily falling by about two to three points per month," said Keating Holland, CNN polling director. "At that rate, only a handful of voters will blame the economy on the Republicans by the time next year's midterm elections roll around.." [more]

Political Discussions Announcement http://www.tsptalk.com/mb/showthread.php?t=7744&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:13:58 GMT I have appreciated everyone's effort to remain civil within these sometimes highly emotional and passionate political discussions. Things are getting just slightly out of hand lately - nothing too serious yet - although I want to address this before it does get out of hand.

I'm posting this "minor" warning for now, to participants in both partisan political threads to please watch the name calling, and continue to remind you that we are all TSP Talkers working for the U.S. government or the military, and we need to continue to treat each other with respect, despite opposing opinion.

If members go beyond what I believe is reasonable, I will have to start giving short 1 or 2 day, time-outs to put out any fires, and to get your attention.

Thank you. Your coopertaion will be greatly appreciated.

In fact, both SS and OPM have left me in limbo, without even knowing whether my retirement is even approved. But this thread isn't about Disability or Governments failures.

Instead, it's made so members can share any and all experiences that concern WORK AT HOME OPPORTUNITIES. I certainly have the need to generate some income and have repaired a few computers along the way to do just that. The Internet is full of fraudulent ads and you can't tell one from another.

Word of mouth (with friends) has got to be the best method to find opportunities. So, anyone with a story to share is incouraged to contribute. Even if it's negative and second hand, your post could prevent me from falling into some kind of fraudulent trap or scam.

SO WHAT'DA YOU SAY ! GIVE A GUY SOME IDEAS OR WARNINGS ! IT CAN ONLY HELP ! ]]>

Retired military officers cash in as well-paid consultants

USA Today - Tom Vanden, Ken Dilanian - ‎14 hours ago‎
Most of the retired officers, one to four stars in rank, have been paid hundreds of dollars an hour by the military even as they worked for companies ...

"WASHINGTON - Six months after Marine Lt. Gen. Gary McKissock retired in 2002, he did what many other ex-military leaders do: He joined the board of directors of a defense contractor, a company doing business with his former service.

McKissock also had a second job. The Marines brought him back as an adviser, at double the rate of pay he made on active duty. Since 2005, the Marines have awarded McKissock contracts worth $1.2 million, in addition to his military pension of about $119,000 a year.

McKissock is one of at least 158 retired admirals and generals the Pentagon has hired to offer advice under an unusual arrangement................. "

They say you should never fall in love with a stock. Well, I’m in love with all my stocks. I’m familiar and comfortable with them. They’ve made money for me and I understand their personalities. They are my friends, my buddies. That’s how close I need to feel to a stock before I’ll trade it. If you’re feeling grumpy you might put on a smile and fool a stranger, but your phoney smile will never fool a close friend. And when one of my stocks is feeling frisky, or feeling grumpy, it can’t fool me either. I know them too well. ]]>
