State of the Union: Applause Sign, Soundbites & More

That's enough to keep a poor family in food for a year, spit or not.

And your point is ??

That money goes into government funds, some of which of course goes to help those in need.

At any rate, I think it costs a lot more than a 1000 Singapore dollars to keep a family at the subsitence level in Singapore. The cost of living is not that low here. But poverty levels are very low and most enjoy a decent standard of living.

The point being that in one country the value of spit feeds a poor family in another for a year. Singapore, like my US, enjoys a somewhat delusional economic view of the world.

And a few briefly-mentioned, minor notes:

Respect For Women – Would that mean allowing women to have determination over their own bodies and life?

Gang Violence – Would that mean taking control of our borders and enforcing immigration law?

Ethanol – Would that mean concern for the environment and energy alternatives to OIL? Right, and this “unlimited” source of alternative fuel from corn production would not be affected by climate/weather changes due to global warming…from use of fossil fuel (i.e. oil)?

Aside from tax cuts for the wealthy, trade deficits due to pacts with China, outsourcing American jobs, spending like drunken sailors helping countries other than our own, diverting funds away from Social Security, etc. could we think of some more ways to destroy America?

How do I get this purple ink off my middle finger?
