    Default Economic report card

    http://www.realclearpolitics.com/art...port_card.html

    Brings up a very good point that both Obama and McCain should pay attention to....

    "But rising health spending is eroding take-home pay, and immigrants are boosting both poverty and the lack of health insurance. Unless we control health spending and immigration, the economic report card will continue to disappoint. Unfortunately, neither Obama nor McCain seriously addresses these problems."

    So, what are their plans to do so?

    "Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.

    They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

    Vote for Ron Paul then.
    Bush doubled the debt from 5 trillion to 10 trillion.
    Proving tax cuts work!

    Bush asked for and signed for the TARP money.
    The Republican senate leader backed Bush on this.

    the economy is way better than advertised, the moveon.mindlessdemocrats love their talking points but suck at math.
    3.3% GDP in the qtr and below 6% unemployment and this economy is falling appart. LOFL
    they'd have to know math to get the thing about illegals hurting the median wage.

    They don't care. I hope Palin does. What you describe is all part of the world plan--not the American peoples plan. Knocking down our middle class to more equal the employees of other nations is the plan. That is the hope for a better world, and the change all other countries can believe in. Several president runners mentioned the fact that "we fractured our manufacturing base" --and they are gone.

    I will tell you one thing, whatever you think of Desh's tactics, they work. SF has been PM'ing me all morning, and I am not making this up this time, asking me why I don't do something about this. So...yeah, he's on the run alright.
