		<description>&lt;em&gt;DieNowForPeace Says:

Jelousy really looks good on you.&lt;/em&gt;
The Clinton comment was something I like to call &quot;sarcasm&quot;. I&#039;ll try to be more explicit next time.

&lt;em&gt;texaslady Says:


So why did the 300 economists sign this statement when now they disagree with it ? Has the statement changed since signing ? What gives ?&lt;/em&gt;

It was a fraud: They were signing a simple 400 word statement of support, and those signatures were then attached to the full 15 page plan. They solicited support for McCain&#039;s plans in general, then attached that support to a detailed laundry list Monday.  Obviously given the entire 15 page plan to sign, many if not most would have balked because of specific provisions which make no sense economically at all. (Thanks Daily Kos)</description>

		<description>Big claims made by Fiorina..!!!

We still do not know how this year will end under Bush:

 Stocks are more in trouble.
 Housing and mortgage problems are getting worse.
 The war in Iraq...
 The return of the Taliban and escaltion of hostilities in Afghanstan war.
 Possible war with Iran that can create havoc on US and world economy,which Bush and Neocons still have it in the their minds and on their table.
 The Nional Debt is rising.
 The dollar is steadily going down vs other currencies. 
 The trouble with some big banks and financial institutions.
 The credit crunch,personal and business.

Running and managing public funds is different than running a business...the motive for business is always profit..but in public service...it is serving the public.

Macro economics is always different than business and micro economics..in business you compete with other to make a profit...in public,there is no business and nobody to compete with..and there are no pofits to chase.
Just because Fiorina ran a company does not mean that she is fit to make statements about balancing the budget in few years,which looks empty one.  
McCain is not offering workable soltuions,he is suggesting to reduce taxes,but pushing for more wars,  telling us little about where the dollars for these wars will be coming from.

The only source of revenue for government is taxing people,and to balance the budget means to spend people&#039;s dollars wisely,and that&#039;s not what is happening now,and that&#039;s why we are in trouble .
We spend more than what we take as a government..and there is no end in sight and no quick fixing to this debt problem,specially if Bush started another war with Iran, which will bring many dangerous unknowns to play.</description>

		<description>mcchimpy will say anything and get away with it because he isn&#039;t viable. the msm has their thumb up chimpy and mcchimpy&#039;s slot.

mcgilligan is an idiot and his service is just bs fish story.

And the choir sings...

&lt;em&gt;Master Shake Says:

If there was a balanced budget the rethuglican party would destroy it like they did the surplus they inherited.

To be fair, Bush didn&#039;t &quot;destroy&quot; the surplus, he just &quot;redistributed&quot; it to the most deserving Americans. Besides, Clinton got a blow job.&lt;/em&gt;


I know you are snarkin.

And the world including the US got screwed big time.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;FIORINA: Actually, there are a set of economists....&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Fi, baby; a singular noun demands a singular verb. A mouthpiece should learn the basics of language before she goes back to the private sector to destroy yet another business.

Where was Saint John while Georgie was piling up chits at an unprecedented pace? Had someone removed his larynx? Did Johnnie Boy not know that a country&#039;s strength lies not in the military but in the ability to fund stuff like technologies, roads, bridges, and education, and the financial flexibility to meet exigencies pressed upon it? Did he not know that running a war of choice on tax cuts is the well-lit avenue to ruin? We&#039;ve got real problems in this country thanks to the idiotic profligacies of the Cheney admin; we don&#039;t need, literally can&#039;t afford, four more years of idiots in charge.</description>
