    just know basso. it was g w bush's fault. it really was. and the hole that obama is getting us out of is deeeep. but as he has the next 4 years to do so and then there is another democratic president because the economy is that much better in 2016. you can keep posting here about how obama is in partnership with the muslim brother hood or some other crap, you will know that you are wasting your time posting the same stuff you have at that point for 10 years +

    you could be knitting.

    Donald Trump has a big surprise announcement for B Kardashian this Wednesday. Stay tune boys and girls......

    I'm enjoying these last few weeks so much before we kick B Kardashian and Underbite Beauty to the curb.

    That "big surprise" is going to ensure that Romney loses the election. Really, repubs are pinning their last gasp hope on Trump?!

    I think Trump went into "revenge best served cold" mode after he got roasted at the WHCD, but I imagine whatever he has will go over about as well as whatever Gloria Allred is planning.

    If Obama does not have an "October surprise" for us here in the last two weeks, that will be the surprise for me.

    Stay tuned. It's coming.

    SIREN! Look out folks, this is real! For the first time in history Donald Trump is going to do something relevant concerning the elections. It is sure to shake DC to it's core and leave democrats in despair.

    Rasmussen released their general election poll this morning

    Romney +4

    The last three Ras polls go like this

    Obama +2
    Romney +2
    Romney +4

    That is a 6 point trend since the beginning of the debates.

    There's a lot of juvenile, unfunny names popping up. But seriously, is there a stupider one than "B Kardashian"? And it's repeated over. and over. and over again. By the same guy.

    This is what Obama has put on his website for his plan for the next 4 years.


    President Obama is taking a balanced approach to cutting the deficit without sacrificing investments needed to grow the economy and create jobs

    Gobbledegook

    President Obama has a long-term economic plan to invest in education, small businesses, clean energy, infrastructure, and tax cuts for companies that bring jobs back to the U.S.

    How? Like you have been? Picking winners and losers. And him generally picking the losers.

    President Obama is calling on millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share, and believes no family earning less than $250,000 should face higher taxes—compare the tax plans

    So redistribution?

    Considering the largest investor fears are the fiscal cliff and the Eurozone worries, the first point relates to both. That you can dismiss the point of encouraging growth after the largest private market failure in history shows that your approach to macroeconomics is sorely lacking.

    As for your last point, I don't believe it's even worth addressing given that Romney has not released a comprehensive tax plan, and whatever he manages to squeeze into a soundbite sounds like he is doing the exact damn same thing (except instead of doing it through direct tax hikes, he wants to do it through eliminating deductions, which are two sides of the same coin. Interestingly, so are tax increases, and expense cuts, and it still can't get through the heads of some Republicans that their arguments against the first can be used even more effectively against the second from a macro point of view).
