"To go forward, you put it in 'D'; to go backward, you put it in 'R'." Pure genius. I'm ready to let her "drive" the country; aren't you?

Compared to the current, "driver," she can't do any worse..... -- President George W. Bush says something intelligent: >> "To go forward, you put it in 'D'; to go backward, you put it >> in 'R'."

[quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >Of course she could. She could be taking twice your earnings what >they take from you now. It doesn't really matter which one gets elected (clinton, obama or mccain), taxes (or maybe more appropriately, tax revenues) are going to have to go up to pay for all the messes that the current administration has created - first and fore most being the massive amount of debt we have run up to pay for that blunder in Iraq. A good chunk of which is held by foreign entities. Maybe the government can defaut on what it owes the citizens of the US, but tell creditors like China, "tough luck," and we will be in deep deep sh.t. -- "Well, I really think he shatters the myth of white supremacy once and for all." --Rep Charles Rangel on Pres. W. Bush >>>> "To go forward, you put it in 'D'; to go backward, you put it >>>> in 'R'." [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > citizens of the US, but tell creditors like China, "tough luck," > and we will be in deep deep sh.t. Debt doesn't necessarily have to be repaid. Depends on the GDP and the percentage of debt to GDP. We're surprisingly low right now. Of course, when the boomers retire and SS had 3 workers for every dependant, it might be a different story. 2nd, China still depends on us more than we depends on them. >> "To go forward, you put it in 'D'; to go backward, you put it in 'R'." >> >> Pure genius.

Though I think she won't get into office. The Ds look ready to choose Obama, and Obama probably won't win the general election -- his strengths against Hillary are where the Republicans have basically no chance anyway.

Are you kidding? Who in their right mind would vote for a Republican who isn't willing to make a clean break from Bush's policies after the last eight years? At this point I'm thinking "anyone but McCain." It doesn't help matters that McCain has basically turned his back on all of his positions and statements that made him in any way appealing in the first place. nate Signaturereplace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel >> Though I think she won't get into office.

All interventionalist, nanny/police state, pro-federal reserve, types. They just promise somewhat different interventions, nannisms, etc... sooner or later the laws of economics will destroy the dollar and the empire will have to end. Trouble is, it probably will take us all with it. BTW, the federal reserve is now accepting credit card debt.... lol. >All the people who are wrapped up in the 'team' concept of politics. >They really don't care that there is nothing conservative about the >policies, just the (R) after the name.

Right now we round every price to the nearest $0.01; all we would have to do would be to round to the nearest $0.1 instead. If people can handle paying for gasoline priced in units one order of magnitude smaller than the smallest available currency, then they can get used to that sort of pricing scheme for ALL products.

How about restoring value to currency instead of inflating it? Otherwise, eventually the conversations will be about eliminating one, five, ten, and twenty dollar bills and so on.

The gov't has tried that on the one with issuing the dollar coin (the SBA in the 70s and the Sac. starting 2k), but those coins will never catch on as long as there's a circulating paper equivalent and the printers keep cranking it out. Damned shame, as the coin overall, due to its durability, is less costly to the gov't than the note. > On May 10, 11:25 am, Brent P <tetraethylleadREMOVET...@yahoo.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > printers keep cranking it out.

I guess you're right, I do still see a lot of little "W" stickers on cars, which makes me wonder if people are just too lazy to whip out the hair dryer or if they really still support him. nate >Are you kidding? Who in their right mind would vote for a Republican >who isn't willing to make a clean break from Bush's policies after the >last eight years? At this point I'm thinking "anyone but McCain." That's what the D's are counting on. Unfortunately for them, Bush-hatred runs deep but not as wide as they think; there's still a lot of voters (won't comment on their mental status) who basically support him. >It doesn't help matters that McCain has basically turned his back on all >of his positions and statements that made him in any way appealing in >the first place. He'll probably flip back if the circumstances warrant. Surely as the Democratic nominee will attempt to move right.
