    Show me any projection which hits it on the head.

    You see when you make a projection you do it without the benifit of unforseen elements which will enter the realm in the future.

The bill was signed without ONE single R vote and was credited by the CBO and the GAO as a major reason for the surpluses. The Rs base still thinks it was Newt. They will claim it , it will be twisted logic and some will buy it.
    With all due respect Desh, if you are not on the Democratic Party payroll you ought to be. You are the party's most ardent defender regardless. You should be remunerated for your effort.

    I dont always get desh.. you have been talking market gloom for like 2years now... probably longer. Its not going to happen. we will have corrections as we always do. The housing market correction will end at some point because shelter is a necessity.

    In terms of your pro tax increase.. and for all of you that think 2.6T annual tax receipts isnt enough for a small populous of 300M people your simply flat out socialists. its an absurd amount of money for what the government job should be.

    Now if you want to tax the righ more thats fine.. but give the cuts back to the middle class. Poor already get off easy. it should be a wash. There is absolutely no need to collect more taxes.


    1 Last thing.. only a fool would think the 90's historic bull market was the result of a tax increase. Did the tax increase help balance the budget? perhaps.. but there would have been no balance without the tech boom. So unless u think there is another golden boom around the corner to eliminate the pain of a tax increase on the middle class then I wouldnt be looking for it.
    Q: Senator Obama, would you take the same pledge? No tax increases on people under $250,000?

    OBAMA: I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes.

    I'm not too worried about the economy-- first of all, the market may have taken a hit, but last week (I think, maybe two weeks ago) there was a day that set records for the amount of increase.

    Not only that, but Desh likes to ignore that a great deal of economic success in the mid-late 90s came from Greenspan and the Fed., which Clinton frequently disagreed with but took the credit for Greenspan's successes.

    You don't listen to the majority of experts saying positive things fat desh. Like I said you and USC troll the negative. 4% growth last quarter and you were saying the sky was falling.
    This will be my best year in the market
