Posted in: U.S. releases over 2,000 illegal immigrants from jails due to budget cuts See in context
Those Republicans really know how to help illegal immigrants. $165 / day * 2000 = $330,000 per day
If we release 8,000 more, than it goes up to $1.6 million of savings per day, or almost $50 million / month.
I bet illegal immigrants don't even make $165 per day when they are working in the fields picking fruit and veggies.

Posted in: Obama orders $85 billion spending cuts; blames Republicans See in context
Kent is CORRECT! Obama gave all government workers a pay increase.
Why didn't Boehner and other Republicans cry "NO, NO, NO, NO! We want spending CUTS" ?
All politicians are in the same boat. (Give us more money, and screw the little fish) Republicans = Democrats Democrats = Republicans
The difference between the parties is their methodology on how to screw the little fish.

Posted in: Questions raised over Unification Church's involvement in 2018 Winter Olympic venue See in context
signit: I appreciate your young enthusiasm for God! I wish more people were concerned about raising themselves to be closer to God.... even if the closest to God is on the slopes of Yongpyong ski resort, site of the 2018 Winter Olympic mountains.
Pertaining to the comments made by Tim Elders, signit, Steve Dufour, and others about the growing trend of Unification Church. Please be aware of the speech made by Hak Ja Han (Mrs. Moon, wife of late SM Moon to the Korean Church).
http://www.tparents.org/Moon-Talks/HakJaHanMoon/HakJaHan-120930.htm "Twenty thousand second generation have all been washed away into the secular world. Only 100 second generation are available to work now. That's all the second generation who are in public positions now. This is something truly shameful."
(note: "second generation" refers to children born into the church)
Signit, also keep in mind that Japantoday is a publication out of Japan. Freedoms which exist in the U.S.A do not exist in Japan.
One example: In Japan, the government doesn't allow religious organizations to swindle large amounts of money from widows.
