  • Is the order to attack another nation without the approval of congress legal?

    If the President gave the order to attack another nation without the approval of congress is that a legal order? Under the War Powers Resolution the President can send U.S. armed forces into action abroad only by authorization of Congress or if the United States is already under attack or serious threat.

    I would not call Libya a "serious threat", If it is not then what stops the President from starting a war with any nation without the approval of congress?

    I think he would have got approval if he had asked for it, but he didn't. It may sound procedural but that procedure is what every member of the military is sworn to protect.

    So would it be a legal order? The military had done it but what if the country had been Canada, where is the line where the Presidents authority ends and the Generals have a duty not to Obey?

  • How can I make a mini Fridge play a song when the door is opened on a budget?

    I want to hook up some type of cheap device that only needs to play one song. I want to hook it to a mini fridge so when I open it the song plays and when I close it the song stops. I want to do this as inexpensively as possible. Any suggestions?

  • Do you know how much you actually pay in Taxes?

    Not how much your return is, not how much your return was, how much you paid.

    Most people have no Idea.

    The whole system is designed so you don't know.

    Look at your stub, and add the following:

    FICA

    Social Security

    income tax withholding

    Capital Gains (if you had any)

    and then subtract your rebate (if you had one) or add if you owed.

  • Can you be a Libertarian and Support Socialized Medicine?

    Mike Gravel claims he is no longer a Democrat and the is now a Libertarian. His platform on his website states clearly that he is in support of "universal healthcare system that provides equal medical services to all citizens" at government expense.

    How can you be in the party of individual liberty and support government control over your health?

    (I like him better than the other Democrats but that's not saying much)

  • Would the FairTax be good for the country?

    A National Sales tax replacing all other federal taxes

    if you buy, you pay (if you save you don't)

    everyone gets a rebate based on the size of your family.

    you keep your whole paycheck (no withholding at all)

    exports are not taxed (creating jobs)

    No exemptions (so no one can get their political buddy's to un-tax them)
