You've hit upon the "pickle" that the Republican Party is in. In a great many states they are going to have trouble getting elected dog catcher without Tea Party Support. Same goes for the national scene. Tea Party will decide the next President and they're smart enough not to field their own candidate which virtually guarantees an Obama victory.

Why do you think guys like Cantor & Beohner are speaking out & playing hardball?
One: The President is extremely vulnerable now.
Two: The Tea Party has them by the short curlies
Three: They believe that the POTUS will cave in as he has before.
Four: When you a great hand to play, you play it by calling the other guys bluff.

Where is Jesus now that we need him to throw out these modern day money lenders out of the Temple of Freedom & Liberty?

Best we can do is pray that GOD will turn DC into a pillar of salt while the house and senate is in session.

I'm still not used to seeing the terms TP and smart in the same sentence but what ever. The TP's are on the right fringe. They appeal to the ultra conservatives. Elections are not won on the fringes, they are won in the middle.

According to the latest polls (including FOX) the republicans are sinking fast. Obama has a higher rating than both parties in Congress. Whether he caves is debatable. I guess we will see. The TP's do have their party by the shorts. Taxes are lower than they have been in 60 years and we have two major conflicts with boots on the ground and two minor conflicts where aid is being given but no one wants to raise money to pay for them.

This is going to get interesting.

Ask the guy whose UC has run out or the families who lost their homes........

So anytime someone loses their job in 2011 for any reason makes it a depression?

Did you graduate from the University of Oaksterdam with your economics degree?

If leaders in Washington fail to reach an agreement on the debt limit and the country does go into default, who do you think will be more to blame -- President Obama or Congressional Republicans?

President Obama.............................32%
Congressional Republicans ...............47
(Both) ............................................15
(Don’t know) ...................................6

Funny. In that poll the respondents voted two to one - 35% vs 17% for a balanced plan (revenue increase and spending cuts) versus spending cuts alone.

He didn't say that and don't be an a$$.
Few here have degrees but much education either formal and/or life experience.
Does having a 'degree' in a field make one an expert? Not from my experience.
Financial 'experts' with doctorates and master degrees still can not see or agree with a solution.
One 'expert' claims catastrophic, another is looking for the next bull market. WTF?

Personally, I'll take experience over a degree any day.

I'll be an ass anytime I want as I excel at it. My friend Delldude and Yoda understand.

I see debating is not your strongest suit. Sorry for offending you. However you are still wrong. And you know it.

He does that a lot. Paints himself into a corner yet still digs himself into a deeper hole. Get used to it as it makes for great comedy and cringing embarrassment.

You might want to ask them.....how they perceive the situation......it might not fit into your 4 x 8 worldview.

Why you give up legalese for economics now?

 

[Ms Tree]

As far as economics are concerned, depressions and recessions have certain characteristics. A politician saying it is so does not make it so.

So it seems with the Reagan subject.

Understand that.....but it behooves the gov't to gloss it up so people and markets don't freak out and tank....you know, like the synthesized unemployed figures for example. You actually think the gov't would truly report figures and facts again that would cause runs on banks and sell offs in this speed of light electronic age we have created?

They know what will happen.

 

[Ms Tree]

That brings up an interesting point that I was thinking about recently.

We all know the government lies. It does not matter what side is power. The all lie to make them selves look good. IIRC Bush Jr even went so far as to change the math for calculating unemployment so it would not look as bad. Given how the markets fluctuate with the utterances of these idiots, it is not wonder we are in the situation. The market gurus take their cues from the village idiots with out actually verifying what the truth is. Then again it is these same idiots who were all involved in the sub-prime loans and the banking issues so I guess I should not be surprised.

Just seems like taking info from an idiot and then banking on it would a mistake a 1st grader would make not a banked or investor. OH well.
