Who has more experience? Palin or Obama?

That is still short sighted, as they get challenged ( and they either have already or will soon ) for constitutionality parts will go away.

Patriot act is time limited, it WILL go away.

are you sure?

income tax was supposed to be temporary. 120 years later, we're still paying for the civil war!

Now go look and see which party was responsible for it.

I don't think that's even relevant, the point is when government has gained a certain power, they are pretty reluctant to give it up (kinda like after they've raised taxes). don't expect the patriot act to go away any time soon.

Aint that the truth!

and it was the republican party, for whatever it's worth (basically nothing, neither party is the same as they were 120+ years ago).

back to the patriot act thing.. with the influx of Iraqi refugees I'm really glad we have the capacity and ability to keep an eye on them. I'm sure nearly all of them are benign, but I can guarantee you there will be some with ulterior motives for coming over here.

Well, at least you don't sell auto glass.

Too bad you don't know econ so you'd understand a little more.


You ought to get a clue.

Wow. 25% over 8 years = Less than 3% annually.

(Lesson for today: This is actually a healthy level of inflation. Low levels in price level changes would mean high interest rates and be prohibitive to investing, and therefore be bad for job creation/unemployment. The high interest rates would make the dollar worth more, but without jobs people cannot afford much from abroad anyway. As low as our interest rates are, we do have good productivity which is indicated by the level of FDI here. Let the cheap manufacturing jobs go abroad or someone else would replace our investment with theirs, and then be the place to go to for high $ / high quality and highly productive production)

And why are you blaming Bush administration? Just because he was there?

We have an awful trade imbalance. We're borrowing money to deal with all the medicare/medicaid we're giving out but not taking in enough.
How is this Bush's fault?

Connecting Bush with dollar value over his tenure is "simple", at best. And anyone who wants you to think 25% over 8 years is bad wants to mislead the uninformed, uneducated, or gullible... aka liberals

Stupid fucking kid.

I thought it was decided that since Palin could see Russia from her house, she had more experience but Obama was anointed as the Holy Savior and could do no wrong. Why would we open it back up to debate?

Hahahaha, I was going to say.... that name sounds awfully familiar.
