Participant[quote=flu][quote=condogrrl]To all of you who are so sympathetic to people in the US illegally: how would you feel if your social security number were stolen and used by one of these illegals? If you don’t mind at all, then please post it here so one of us can sell it outside the local Home Depot.
Read a few stories of people who have had to try to clean up the mess of their identity after it was stolen by an illegal.[/quote]
How is a stolen SSN a problem related to exclusively to illegal aliens????Heck, i’ve observed plenty of U.S. citizens that do a fine job trying to steal people’s SSN and credit cards.
Frankly, if you are concerned about a stolen SSN, it’s quite simple to thwart it…Enroll in a credit freeze with all three credit bureaus. It costs a one time $10 setup fee per bureau, and no way someone is going to pull your credit unless you “unfreeze” it. Plenty of safeguards are available, most people just don’t use it or are too lazy to do so.[/quote]
Just because it is not exclusive to illegals does not warrent it going unpunished. I wonder how the percentage of legal residents and citizens that actually get prosecuted compares to illegals? While we are examining the “unfairness” of the treatment of illegals I wonder how much time and effort is spent by hospitals to get paid for services given to illegals opposed to the poor struggling legal citizens. I have friends in the medical field and can say with resonable assurance that the discrepancy is huge. Unpaid bills owed by legal citizens who can barely make ends meet are often sent to collection agencies but the good old tax payer picks up[ the tab for illegals. Where is the “fairness” in that?

June 5, 2009 at 6:41 AM in reply to: San Diego Fire Chief retires at 53 with $123K/yr pension for life… #410876Participant[quote=condogrrl]Aw, quit your whining and go apply to work for the city. I’m sick of all the San Diego citizens complaining about city workers and their retirements. Every one of you has, or had, the opportunity to work for the city. So go do it, or shut up.[/quote]
Ughhhh…. this is your answer to what is a very serious problem?
Maybe I should quit complaining of CEO’s outrageous salaries and become one, or stop complaining about corrupt politicians and become one.
Anybody given any thought to the accumulating debt resulting from these types of pensions?? When did it become the tax payers responsibility to take care of public workers until they die? Think about it people… how in the hell are we supposed to pay for the thousands of pensions for life that are coming down the line?
You don’t need to be an economics major to know that paying people 60%+ of thier salaries for 30-40 yrs while they produce nothing is going to bankrupt the country.
Paying any public employee more than they made when they were actually productive is insane.

ParticipantRussell,thanks for taking the time to look at my web site. You are right, for those on a budget or the DYI type granite tile is a far better option than ceramic tile.
In regards to price shopping us against the big box stores.. I will go toe to toe with them anytime. We are frequently very close in price and when considering more exotic granites we are usually cheaper. Importing our own material makes us very competitive in the upper end granites.
The thing to remember about big box stores is that for most of the home improvement services they offer they sub the work out to those in the business. They make a good buck off those deals so how do they stay competitve?? The answer is they grind the “associate” companies so hard on pricing that these companies have to compromise something to bring thier costs down. Too often that comes in the qaulity of materials or service.
IMHO you have a better chance of getting a qaulity job at a fair price going directly to the companies that are in that business. I have torn out and replaced more than a few box store jobs.
