That's the key - can they actually do something with nothing. Can
they keep the economic momentum moving in a positive direction, can
they actually come up with a good plan to get us out of the mess in
Iraq and I think even more importantly, can they actually emulate the
Republicans and toe the party line without inter-party squabbling they
are famous for.

More importantly than that is this - can they do it without reducing
the economic power of the middle class by staying away from taxes and
more entitlement programs.

It will be an interesting couple of years.



How many think that we will be sinking into a deep recession by this time
next year?
Unfortunately, I do.

The recession has already started.


Then it's the republican's fault!!


BK, you haven't been paying attention. It's Clinton's fault. You have
to go back two terms to find the blame.


Ooops, I forgot!! Everything is Clinton's fault. I wonder how they'll
blame the fall of Rummy and the Bush administration on him.......

That's how Rs justify Clinton's success. Going back two terms puts you
in Reagan territory, savior of all mankind, but especially rich bankers
who robbed the American public blind.

What gets me is that the Republicans CLAIM to cut taxes. They don't.
They just shuffle money around to make it LOOK like they do. Take for
instance in GA. Up until Gov. Perdue took office, a Republican, we had
one of the best lottery for education purposes going. The HOPE
scholarship. Keep a B average in high school, you get first years
tuition and books paid to any in-state school. Keep a B average in
college, it continues. Worked VERY well.
When Perdue got into office, he almost INSTANTLY started putting his
slimey hands on the HOPE grants, and made new much more strict rules
and payment restrictions on it, using the money for other things.

Nope, never said it was. For the reading comprehension impaired, read
more than one sentence at a time. I said, the Republicans claim to cut
taxes. They don't they just shuffle money around to make it look like
they do. In the case above, some taxes were cut. Then the money from
HOPE was used in place of those taxes, weakening what the HOPE grant
was for. So, the GA Govt. wasn't spending less because of the tax cuts,
they were just stealing the money from the HOPE grant. SO, what will
happen to the people who were supposed to get the HOPE grant and can't?
Why, the GA govt. will give them different grants and loans. Where will
this money come from? Taxes. It's really pretty simple, I'm surprised
you don't understand it.

LOL!

And the larger paychecks we saw because of less taxes being taken out were
just figments of our imagination according to him also. The paychecks may
have LOOKED larger but they really weren't. ;-)

That's *our* Bassy for you.

What an idiot. If you got a bigger paycheck because of tax cuts, but
spent more because of the the inflation that it caused, that's somehow
a good thing? What a dolt.

Tame compared to what? Everything is relative, you know. Did you ever
understand the lottery/taxes situation that is occuring here in GA?

In January 1990 it was 5%

It spiked just after Katrina last year to just over 4.5%

4.15% in July 2006

2.06 in September 2006.

Bassy must have missed too many classes in Economics 101. ;-)
