Doing things like discontinueing programs that help communities retain teachers and first responders hardly seems like an action that creates increased demand. If interest rates werent at historic lows still I would agree federal deficits are a drag on the economy but since they are so low that arguement except with over 2 trillion in cash on hand and low rates to borrow capital is not the shortage demand is. What exactly has congress done to aid in increasing demand? Bloomberg's analysis hardly a liberal rag

Goldman, Moody

how do the plans compare?

I know you love deregulation but i haven't seen anything from any respected source that says it's the root cause of unemployment


...................................
Obama retains White House.....When Pat Robertson says republicans are gettting two extreme to win a general election...well
Senate is near even 51-49 republicans at most just because so many democrat seat are open not because of any big swing

Republicans retain house but the majority begins to decay

It's not just deregulation. It's the gridlock.

Observe the Clinton presidency.

When I win, I get a day of unbannable posting simply due to language and attitude. Subjects would still be off-limits (i.e. I can call someone a &@^@#%#$ because of what they typed, but can't refer to their wife/family, etc.).

Lose, and I post in only haiku or limerick form for a week.

LoL.

That's the least the admins/mods can do for all of us.

An "eveything goes" day at WAB. So admins, make your predictions...

Limerick and haiku for a week.

Got your bet down. Anyone else?

I can't rhyme worth crap,
So I will not bet on that.
Y'all can count me out.

Gunnut thought he could be a hit,
And tried to make things fit,

He tried to pass the time
Trying to make things rhyme,

But couldn't think up anything worth shit.

Guys, let's at least attempt to keep this thread on track and on focus?

No, if I lose, all extant rules apply plus I have my additional restrictions, otherwise it'ud be a "heads I win, tails you lose" offer. Where's the fun in that?

Logical fallacy. American politics has no focus.

Both are the same. They slow the ability of the government to create more problems for the economy.

I was collecting bets on Crooks' child, so I've been the WABookie since at least September '10
