ORIGINAL: MarsBonfire
At least we don't have "Grandpa Munster" and "Caribou Barbie" to contend with. I read a great report the other day projecting what would have happened if McCain had implemented his proposed policies on the economy.
Wow, a report? Are you sure? Maybe it was an article? Reports are usually an account of something.
quote:
Second great depression anyone?
We are not out of the woods yet, especially since the projections used for the stimulus will not be met this year. That means the tax revenue will not be there, and the deficit will be larger than projected. Everything is still pretty fluid. The problems that have occurred may not have a solution other than a huge reset, like a great depression.
quote:
So far, the banks haven't seized up, and Detroit has a second chance at getting it right.
The banks would never have really seized up, as anyone that was in power would have been advised properly to prevent a complete failure. Now how well it is handled varies, and we are still watching as it unfolds. As far as Detroit, they are being chiseled away and sold off. Their power is being split up, and what is left will be propped up. I doubt there will be much change as the high end execs do not want to reduce their profit, and the unions do not want to reduce benefits or wages. At least not enough to be truly competitive. Personally I no longer buy American made cars, as I would rather have something better built and with a better warranty.
quote:
The Iraq pull out continues, and the closure of America's anti-constitutional Bastille, GITMO, is happening, but taking far longer than we'd hoped.
There are actually many Iraqi's that dread the day of pull out. Many are starting to believe that it may be too much, too soon. Personally I do not care, fuck Iraq and get our military out of there. Gitmo will close, and I have had a problem with events at Gitmo. I still have problems with Obama saying that some detainees may be kept indefinitely without due process.
quote:
Healthcare is being worked on.
Yeah and wait to see what happens to small business when the proposed plan goes through. Obama said to leave small business alone, but the sharks are circling too much and not taking his lead.
quote:
The stimulus is out there, and should be starting to be implemented by the fall.
And what exactly is the effect it is having or will have? I believe someone was showing polls recently, but has anyone seen the confidence poll on this Great Stimulus package?
quote:
My taxes are being cut while those of rich assholes' are going up. He's already laid policy to not touch the gun nutcases weapons. (Those folks who paniced about that are just easily manipulated sheep, who listen just a little too closely to GOP extremist talking heads.)
I missed something, and do not mind admitting ignorance to something. Can you show me where the tax cut is?
quote:
I'm happy as a clam!
Yeah most clams are happy right before the bake. They never see it coming.
Everyone needs to keep their eyes open. Things may get better, or they may get worse. Do not allow anything to lull us into a false sense of anything. There has not been a lot of big change on the fundamentals that need to change, which is how our government works and holding them responsible. I am in agreement that the differences between the two parties are not that big, and in fact they continue to show there really is only one party and that is the corporatist party.
Has anyone ever looked into how many politicians had AIG in their portfolio?
Much of what is going on is smoke and mirrors. Obama may really want change, but it is doubtful the Dem inner circle will allow it. It took about 14 years for the Reps to gain and lose power, because they did not hold to what they have promised, and I do not see the Dems doing anything different.
