I am subject to random drug testing as a condition of Federal employment. I have no problem with welfare recipients being tested.

But mandatory health insurance = unconstitutional. Makes complete sense, GOP.

Here is a cornerstone of the economy that is not recovering, and the reasons are telling. This will be a factor in 2012.

I am not subject to random drug testing. Since I do not do random drugs I would not have a problem with being tested, though I really think it is unconstitutional seizure of bodily fluids.

I suspect that Ron and Rand Paul probably agree with me

What happened to cutting the national debt in half by the end of his first term?

Would that be a yes or a no on the question of crediting Obama administration financial policies for avoiding a depression? Hard for me to tell, there...

Brilliant Ryberg. Throw all that money out there to avoid a depression while pushing our country towards bankruptcy. The increasing national debt has not even slowed down. Great job Obama!

Remember how happy you guys were when he was going to close Gitmo.

What a bunch of suckers......

Wonder what they are going to do with the millions of homes just sitting there?

"Builders clearly believe that the future includes many more renters. So far this year, construction of multiunit buildings is up 21 percent compared with 2010, while single family-homes are down 22 percent. Sales of new single-family homes are lower than at any time since the data was first kept in 1963."
