Yeah, we're well on our way to a permanent state of war - which is doing such wonders for the economy - and it's whittling away nicely at that darned inconvenient constitution, too. Thumbs-up all around, I guess....

Word, I agree with you, the war was a mistake from the beginning. But less than 5% of our GDP has gone to fund this illegal war.

The economy isn't so hot due to numerous reasons, not just the war. But Bush really has ****ed up the conservative name.

I could care less if you think my argument is flawed or not...and yeah...I'm sure you never watch it. :rolleyes: You are the one that started talking about credibility when it comes to news organizations without looking a the actual facts.

If you want to talk about the economy of it all, go right ahead because I will then show you just how completely unrelated they are and where exactly that money we are spending would have gone. Here is a hint..it certainly isn't you and it certainly wouldn't be in infrastructure.

Its funny you want to bring up the economy when in 2003-2005 when the war was at its worst, we show 3-5% GDP growth. It was booming. What our government spends means jack **** on the health of our economy. The housing bust that is basically bringing us down has jack **** to do with the war. It has to do with regulations back in the 90's. The price of oil has the same baked in price it did back in the 90's when guess what...their was instability in the middle east. Its called China, India and the rest of Asia coming out of the 5th century.

The biggest increase in oil was in the last 2 years. Guess who ran Congress then. Democrats. Is it their fault? No...its called the free market and they have jack **** to do with any of it unless they actually want to regulate and price control.


So please, talk about the economy of it...

I also concur, however... how do you consider it illegal?


Also do you notice people tend to always point out fox news in some sly remark to point out the right leaning stance of many of the shows/hosts etc. I always find this amazing considering almost every other network is leans way to the left.

The war isn't illegal. It was sanctioned both by your President and your Congress. Therefore in every form of American law, it's legal.

Saying that it's illegal is completely untrue, but feel free to continue to spread untruths.

Republicans are NOT good for the economy EVER! Anyone who argues this statement doesn't understand what the party actually stands for!!!! So vote Democrat or watch the economy get worse because McCain feels that everything is fine and the economy will take care of itself, this Lazze Faire attitude is not what this country needs after eight years of abuse by the Republican party. (NAFTA, Big Oil, and Corporate interests) have corrupted our politicians (majority of whom are Republican). I am normally independent on most issues because I am in the middle on most issues, but the most important issue right now is the economy so VOTE Democrat because to vote independent is a waste of a vote.

Hey man its all true, and I didn't just figure this out during the last few months of campaigning. Many economics classes on the transcript so I do know a thing or two about the subject. Not trying to be cocky but that "blanket statement" is unfortunately a correct summary of the current situation.

I hate both candidates, personally I was pulling for Romney. I think with his experience he would be the best qualified to improve the economy, This is after all why Massachuesetts elected him Governor, a true conservative elected gov in the most liberal of liberal places? They saw what he did with Utah with his economic changes and how he pulled off teh olympics. Romney knows what he is doing. We have an inexperienced, dangerous socialist and a frail republican that shows no similarities to a true conservative, as he claims to be, this is truly a sad election.

I know it was completely legal, but I just felt like throwing that word in there because it's a lost cause for a war. I don't think the majority of people give a **** whether the ME is stable at all. I sure as hell don't. IMO, let them kill themselves off and fight to the death, how it's always been in that shithole called the Middle East.

You couldn't be more wrong.

1. NAFTA was the Clintons.

2. Big Oil? That's been around for 80 years under both parties. Tell me what the Democrats have done to stop them. Nothing. We've had the biggest increase in oil and gas in the last 2 years. Guess who's controlled Congress? Democrats.

3. Corporate Interest? We have the second highest tax corporate rate IN THE WORLD.

Please tell the University economics professor to stop teaching based on ideology and more on facts because in reality a Republican or Democratic administration has almost no say on how the actual economy runs.

Monetary policy is set by the fed which remains relatively intact no mater who is in office. Greenspan set policy for Reagan, Bush AND Clinton.

The global market doesnt run based off our 4 year elections.

That's fine. Its makes for great political theatre to throw around how much money is spent when in reality the everyday public would never see a penny of it anyway.

They do the same with deficits.....did peoples lives change dramatically from 1991-2001 where the deficits fluctuated wildy? No. The big talk back then was balancing the budget because future generations will have to pay. Sound familiar? Did it really effect people actual lives? No.

They do the same with oil companies...the big bad oil companies making record profits without mentioning their margins are down. They make record profits because Americans want to have SUV's...but you can't tell them that its their fault. The American public doesn't want to take responsibility when they have the big evil government to blame.

Its the same old story...you want to get elected? Pitch the rich against the poor. Play on the emotions of what you don't have vs those that have it.

In the end will your lives be that much better with Obama or McCain? No.

Not really. Clinton had one of the largest tax increases in history and we we're fine. You can easily mask numbers by taxing then spending. As long as spending it kept up at the same rate, you bascually offset the lose in personal consumption.

..but then you ask the question...do you want to spend the money..or do you want your government too?

I disagree with you that it wont effect us ... the increases clinton put in effect pale in comparison to what Obama has hinted at in his campaign speeches. Also, his proposed increase in capital gains was something like 6-8% higher than clinton's highest IIRC. Obama is also playin with different caps/brackets instead of raising certain tax rates - this way to the layman its not a tax "increase" but they are essentially bracketed differently, thus paying a higher tax rate. I wish I had the knowledge on this to be more specific.

I for one am going to look into overseas accounts if ish goes down.

I agree completely. The bush-did-it mentality strikes again. How can anyone say a conservative policy is bad for the economy?

I wanted to expand on Point 3 you made - I fear if Obama is put in office he'll increase the corporate taxes to the point that larger, more fluid firms look to other countries (india et al) to move their businesses, or at least portions of them (fewer jobs for americans). Another negative repercussion of a blanket corporate tax increase would be that it would act as a deterrent for small business start ups, getting us more and more away from our capitalist roots. Some very good incentives would have to be in place and I don't see that happening. I see Obama deeming these increases in taxes necessary to support his various social programs (i.e. the free college plans), many of which are directed at "less fortunate" groups. Your thoughts?

Wow, god save us.

I've read some of his numbers. They are not THAT bad. Hillary's numbers were actually much worse. Just as McCains words are misrepresented, I've seen many times where Obamas are as well. The whole playing on fears works both ways.... :)

Believe me, if his numbers were that bad, I would say so. I am a small business owner so I know exactly how it will effect me. I am also a trader/investor as well.

Have to go..I'll comment on the other stuff later especially the corporate tax rates...

If you knew half as much as you thought about these issues you would be on track for an article in the Enquirer.

1. NAFTA was signed by George Bush in the early 90's.
2. The Bush administration and Rupublican majority congress voted to give billions in tax cuts to the already wealthy oil companies, not to mention the fact that Bush and family have a vast amount of interest in Petroleum. The higher the price the more they make because there % stays the same.

3. As far as Corporate interests go the tax means very little compared to the fact that when large corporations get what they want in the form of policy it is always the inverse of what is good for the middle-class (which is the base of our economy). In the past eight years the republican party has neutered if not killed the majority of Unions in this country and continued to allow outsourcing which has driven wages down and lowered the per capita income of this country.

The FED play a significant role in monetary policy, but monetary policy only consists of adjusting the Federal Funds Rate (Interest rate that the FED charges banks). When they lower rates to stimulate the economy often times the side effects are worse than the short term stimulation itself. The side effects being inflation and a decrease in the value of the dollar, which in turn leads to more foriegn ownership.

The bottom line is that an economy only thrives if the middle class (working class) is thriving, and the republican policy of supporting Big Business and the trickle down theory is not even relatively efficient.

I can never follow liberal logic (contradiction?). Unions and the high salaries and benefits packages for manual labor drove corporations to outsource. Why? Because its cheaper.

You said the government allowed outsourcing? Who is the government to tell me how to make a profit?

Why is trickle down not efficient? When did it fail?

About what?
Just to set the record straight I am not a liberal, as I staighted previously I am somewhat in the middle on most issues but right now the economy needs major attention in the form of Democratic leadership. As far as the government and your profits, they used to in the form of an import tax (Tariff) which protects the working class of the domestic country. Whats so hard to understand about that?
