Coolican your picking and choosing your facts. Yes GE doesn't pay taxes, but small businesses do. When you have a tax law that is set to expire causing a tax increase it effects decisions to purchase equipment and hire. Small businesses will lead us out this....session.
Deregulation in the 1980s hmmm. Weren't the airlines deregulated then? causing upstarts and airlines like Southwest to flourish, which obviously assisted(provided?)in Vegas's growth?
Housing that is too complicated to address in a soundbite that the 40% of a Americans who don't watch the news and do decide elections to grasp.

It is important to remember that the border patrol did stop an al-Qaeda operative Ahmed Ressam, who had stashed timers and more than 200 pounds of highly volatile bomb-making material in the trunk of the rental car in 1999.
yes an Al-Qaeda operative.
How did the catch him? Some High tech Xray machine? Bomb sniffing device? Bomb sniffing dogs? No just a savy border patrol employee questioning a Nervous border crosser. (I dont know if he practiced racial profiling)
I can speak with first hand knowledge of the canadian border with Washington state. There are many many gaps. There was a tunnel that was used by drug smugglers for years that was recently closed. there are other gaps that I know I could walk across.
According to NOAA the maximum average temperature by Decade has been climbing every decade since the 1960s. Still be below 1940s however. We should be good stewards of the planet, but don't pee on my leg and tell me it is 100% man made global warming
