Scott McClellen- "Bush is a Fiscal Conservative" - Page 4

Only have to be 35 to be president.... As for Millionaires in congress, I do believe Dems outnumbered the GOP at last check. I think some politicians do try to look out for their people, but to some "Their people" means their money people.

Seen the New Energy Bill? There is a hybred Lexus SUV that sells for $240k. You get a Tax break if you by this car. It gets 28 miles to the gallon! However you DO NOT get a tax break if you Buy a Honda Civic (42 Miles per Gallon) or even a Toyota PRIUS (65 Miles per gallon!) They say it is an "Insentive" for luxury buyers to be more envoromently friendly.
Another part of the Bill that made people want to puke was If you installed this certain type of energy effciant refrigerater you would get a tax break. One Problem It has to be installed in a home with a property value OVER $2.5 Million.

Actually I'm not old enough for the presidential ticket for some time yet (like, say, about 16.5 years)

I sometimes toy with the idea of running for local office, but I figure I'd better get my credit/debt stuff straightened out first.

I don't think I'm a socialist, but let's revisit this in, say, 20 years? Give us time to make names for ourselves. In the meantime, folks from the LoT can say they knew us when!

And we would admit to this why?

Kickbacks, of course! Isn't that the point of government?

Morrigoon · 09-23-2005, 04:05 PM

Don't you have to be 45?

scaeagles · 09-23-2005, 04:07 PM

That would be 35.

Morrigoon · 09-23-2005, 04:09 PM

I thought that was for Governor... man, I'm mixed up, eh?

Morrigoon · 09-23-2005, 04:11 PM

Huh, wiki says 35, whaddya know.

Of course... you have to have been a resident for 14 years. If they mean 14 years immediately prior to running, then I can't run until after 2009. (5 months in England, you know

) OTOH... I never really stopped being a legal resident of CA during that time, did I?

Prudence · 09-23-2005, 04:12 PM

So does that mean we're back on for 08?

Thanks for doubting my basic constitutional knowledge.
