Screw the IRS, if Obama and the other tax cheats who are government employee's get away with not paying taxes and don't pay interest, fines, and penalties then we should get the same treatment.

If we as Americans stopped paying taxes that would send a message to DC and tell them to fire the tax cheats in DC, live by the same rules we do then we'll pay taxes. Until then, screw you just as you're screwing us.

And this makes news; this is Standard Operating Procedures in the industry since 1994 and has progressively gotten worse over the years.

What the public doesn't see is that we their plans and specification prepared by Architects or Engineers. The plans are drawn up personal who've never worked in the trade they're designing, they've gone to school and have a degree in field being designed and the specifications prescribe the nature, character, and quality of the work being contracted.

If the Owner truly wants to reduce construction costs and project schedules they would remove the Architect and Engineer from the equation and bid design build projects only. The owner and we the taxpayer would realize instant savings and the quality of the work would far exceed the practices used since 1994.

If you have any doubt about Architects and Engineers look at Sunset Eastern Park project that is presently under construction. The Architect or Engineer used sole source materials and designed a project where costs were no concern. Asphalt trail they designed in the dunes required the asphalt to contain a specific color by a sole source manufacture; the colored asphalt is $8,000.00 a ton for 70 ton of mix installed verses asphalt with no color that costs $100.00 a ton for the same mix with no color. As an alternative to their design other products were available to would've provided the end intent wanted.

From a person who has worked in this industry for 40 plus years, the only thing that has changed over the years is that public agencies have an open check book and we in the industry know just that. We manage the contract and let the designer of record open their mouth and spend your money. Those who don't manage the contract, go broke. NDOT is starting to figure this one out and they are bidding design build projects, it is cheaper and the quality of the work far exceeds any design if they designed and bid the project. See I-15 NLV and now I-15 from Blue Diamond to Tropicana, we the taxpayer are the winners now, not the owner's design team.

Knowing LVP / Apco they didn't lose a penny, they're good at what they do and do it well, they managed the contract and owner's team took it personally when in reality they should've listened to the contractor in the first place and mitigated the costs, not litigate for personal reasons.

If she did laugh it wouldn't be a deal breaker and she surly isn't the only one to laugh at Harry over the alleged car bomb. Even if there was a bomb in his car, this was many years ago and the person he was then isn't the person he is today.

Today's Harry is taking America down a pathway that is going to destroy America where we will become another 3rd world country. Outside of the Democrats and their brain-dead lazy flowers who don't want to work, we won't allow this to happen.

Democrats can whine and complain and attempt to divert the attention away from the issue at hand, Obama and the rest of the lunatic democrats has awaken many proud Americans and we will stop at nothing to ensure America remains as such, America with all of our freedoms and freedom of choice.

The Democrats will attempt to push any healthcare bill regardless of what the bill contains. Based on the election results yesterday they are now faced with being removed come 2010 and they know this is their last chance to screw America over.

Even if they do get it passed and signed into law the bill will be challenged in court and will never become law and if it does pass the legal challenges, a new bill will passed eliminating what Obama and clan did.

I will say one thing, I honestly don't believe Obama will get through 2010, he will be impeached or he'll resign from office. He has done nothing for America as a whole, just a select few. American's for the most part won't tolerate his arrogance and stupidity much longer, he was voted into office and he continues to use the same old democrat excuse, it's not my fault, somebody else did it, I inherited these problems, etc" etc" etc..

What the Democrats fail to realize we don't care what Bush left you; you took the job; now do it. Obama knew what he was in for and he told America he would be open, not succumb to K Street and provide cameras and live viewing for all of America to see, he lied again.

Obama and clan are pathological liars and not very good ones at that, they've been caught in too many lies and they don't know what lie they've said anymore. The gig up and your free ride is over with.

Prostitutes, The World's Oldest Profession

Prostitutes definitely do not deserve the bad sort of press they do. They definitely don't need the stereotype of the rough looking, coarse tongued sluts we see in movies. There are many so called 'respectable' married women who would equally fit such a description.

Prostitutes are no different to any other worker. They can be of either sex; they are providing a service and working hard for their money. It is not a job I would like to do...but then each to their own. However if I were a female and my family were hungry and alternative employment was not available then I would. Think on. A Nurse in Nevada can expect a salary of $2,500.00 to $4,000.00 monthly; a prostitute can earn that in a day.

Prostitutes have children, boyfriends, husbands and families to support. They have bills to pay, food to buy, movies to see, houses to build, schools to pay, clothes to buy. Yes, exactly like you and me.

And no, they don't sit around in sleazy disarray talking about disgusting things. They are people, just like you and I.

They are religious too and pray before they go to work and when they come back.

Prostitution hides behind a variety of names. Escort, Bar Girl, Masseuse, Go Go Dancer, Hostess, Entertainer. Of course many of them are just that and no more but there are prostitutes among them.

To them prostitution is 'work'. That's how they talk of it. "I have a customer, I am going to work".

From my point of view, neither party is doing anything to create jobs nor with our current economic times and knowing that Obama won't going to create any jobs in the USA, it about time Clark County steps up to the plate and do whatever it takes to generate positive cash flow, they need to legalize prostitution. Many families who are facing poverty or poverty is knocking at their door now have a viable option to generate a good income for their family and not have to rely on the government or break the law to survive.

"Warren Buffett bought another business. And just what does that have to do with recovery?"

It shows that a major investor is investing his wealth into a transpiration system that will bring products and goods manufactured in Mexico that will be stored in strategic locations for USA distribution. Hence, American jobs are not coming back to USA for American workers, they're being exported elsewhere.

Obama and clan keep touting how many jobs are being created and saved and the more will follow, trust us, NAFTA under Obama is being fully implemented and America's manufacturing base is being moved to Mexico. When Obama and his drones tell us we're on our way to recovery, they're lying.

Reading the posts, some are wondering about jail time and the children and what is going to happen.

We're in Clark County, Clark County courts here are liberal biased and the prosecutor's office will not take this to trial. I tend to think our lazy prosecutors will enter into a plea agreement where these two will get unsupervised probation for a few years and will attend a taxpayer funded parenting class and taxpayer funded alcohol awareness class and a $1,000.00 fine, when it is all said and done charges will be dropped if they're on good behavior for 1 year and they're records will be expunged.

And we wonder what is wrong in America today; the court system and liberals have enabled drunks, criminals, murderers, rapists, drug addicts, sexual predators, and any vile act one could imagine to be committed against humans to be excused or justified because of something or somebody made them do it, therefore, rehabilitation is needed.

I for one would hope that they permanently remove the children from the parents and forced serialization for these two so they can't reproduce and bring more harm to children that they can't afford, when this is done then put them in prison for 10 years, 1 year per child and another 10 years of supervised probation with mandatory drug and alcohol testing for 10 more years.

You liberals need to get over Bush and stop using others to justify the stupidly of Obama and clan. Obama does not recognize his solemn duty; he recognizes only one thing, the camera and his arrogance.

Obama needs to Man Up and do his job he was elected to do, be America's leader; Obama is pushing the Democrats and their sick agenda to further desecrate America into poverty so the nation becomes codependent amongst them.

Obama has been in office 11 months and he has caused more harm to America since 1776 and at the present rate, America will become a 3rd world country before 2012. America is becoming weaker everyday and we're just about ripe enough for picking and Obama will do everything possible to ensure we're doomed.

Obama is directly responsible for the loss of more American lives in a single month in Afghanistan since this war began, and you sick liberals have the gall to praise this evil sadistic person, you should be ashamed of yourselves.,

Now that the elections are over with wait and see, he will now make a decision in Afghanistan. He lied again; Obama is all about Obama and what he can suck from us taxpayers to further his sick agenda.

Clark County won't see any type of recovery until 2013 at the earliest and 2105 at the latest.

What the so called experts don't speak about is truth based on facts and politicians by nature will tell you whatever it takes to keep the gravy train freebies coming their way.

Developers have lots and parcels of land already for homes to be built and the infrastructure for these developments is completed. Highways and other infrastructure projects won't be funded until after the surplus is developed.

Banks will never loan money to developers or private enterprise like the past, these days are over with and only those with large cash injections and cash in the bank to cover the loans, banks will not loan.

Investment firms and Venture Capital will be regulated by Obama to such an extreme they'll invest in overseas markets because Obama and clan are against capitalism and big business without government co ownership.

Substantial commercial development will remain stagnant through 2016, this market is soft and the foreclosure crisis hasn't hot this sector and won't hit until late 2010 to early 2011.

Remember NAFTA now CAFTA, manufacturing jobs are no longer the hub of US economy and can't be used to gauge any recovery. Clinton and now Obama ensured these American jobs are transferred to cheaper labor markets and they'll never return. Let's not forget about the Super Highway and U.S./Mexico Cross border traffic and the program NAFTA requires, 100 Mexican owned Trucking companies don't pay USA taxes and will take over the trucking industry, and Buffet buy Burlington Northern for what reason?

Inflation is going to rise, it only a matter of time, interest rates are too low, we have a weak dollar and getting weaker and the plan Obama and clan implement when he signed the stimulus bill ruined any chance of a sustainable recovery. To make this issue worse, George Soros who was convicted in France of insider trading, Soros specializes in weakening or collapsing the currencies of entire nations for his own selfish interests and Obama supports this person.

America will lose our credit rating early 2011, when this occurs we will become codependent to other countries, remember, we can't beat you at war; we will destroy America economically.

So when these so called experts speak, they're liars.

Teamster:

Please get the facts straight:

The roots of housing crisis sprouted during the Clinton administration's politically motivated effort in the 1990s to use Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to expand home ownership. Fannie and Freddie are Government-Sponsored Entities (GSEs) that dominate the U.S. mortgage market. Fannie was created during the New Deal, while Freddie came into being in 1970. Fannie and Freddie have "enjoyed the nearest thing to a license to print money" because they are private companies that offer investors government-backed -- i.e. taxpayer - guarantees against loss. Fannie and Freddie increase the amount of money available for mortgages by buying mortgages on the secondary market, pooling them, then selling them as mortgage-backed securities to investors on the open market.

President Bill Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act which had prevented the coupling of investment banking and lending. To be exact, on November 12, 1999, President Bill Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. One of the effects of the repeal is it allowed commercial and investment banks to consolidate. The repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act is the primary reason that leads to the 2007 subprime mortgage financial crisis.

Banks to big to fail, do your homework.
