I like it how some seniors are calling their representatives and saying if they don't get their social security checks (a.k.a. freeload checks) its their fault. No, the fault lies with lavish social security, medicare and medicaid payments draining the national treasure. Here in Japan social security pays about 65% of what Americans receive and everyone pays 30% co-pay on medical expenses. Americans want everything NOW and don't want to save or sacrifice. Rich people are rich because they work hard and use their brains -- they don't sit in front of the TV and watch reality shows or stupid sports...

Where on earth did the NY District Attorney got to law school? DeVry University. A cursory check of the "maid's" background would have see a load of red flags. Sources in the union she is a member of said she was a "high earner" alluding to the situation that she kicked back part of her "extracurricular" earnings to someone in the union that placed her at that exclusive hotel. Deport her, ASAP. DSK is only guilt of a minor sex crime -- he's French -- that's like a parking ticket to them...

@MrDog: here are the facts: 2012 UK Budget Pensions: 126 billion pounds (or about 18% of the entire budget) Health care: 125 billion pounds (or about 18% of the entire budget) Welfare: 116 billion pounds (or about 16% of the entire budget) TOTAL: 367 billion pounds UK Defense budget: 48 billion pounds (or about 6% of the entire budget)
So you want the government to spend more on the people? Seems like they get plenty of "handouts" already...

He is responsible for his own actions. Can we afford to have someone in a position who tells bold-faced lies -- to the people who elected him? Anyway, at least he did not use lame language by saying "I misspoke" or a lame excuse like "I was just taking photos for Congressman BF's screensaver."
