  2. Game theory proposes.. The country will be trashed to force a change come next election. The markets will crash.. But first a momentary upswing..

  4. Take off your political "hats" and strip away your emotional attachment to your party and just read the facts about which party, over the last 80 years, has done a better job at growing the economy. Be objective! Remember, figures don't lie, liars figure. :D

    - Personal disposable income has grown nearly 6 times more under Democratic presidents

    - Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has grown 7 times more under Democratic presidents

    - Corporate profits have grown over 16% more per year under Democratic presidents (they actually declined under Republicans by an average of 4.53%/year)

    - Average annual compound return on the stock market has been 18 times greater under Democratic presidents (If you invested $100k for 40 years of Republican administrations you had $126k at the end, if you invested $100k for 40 years of Democrat administrations you had $3.9M at the end)

    - Republican presidents added 2.5 times more to the national debt than Democratic presidents

    - The two times the economy steered into the ditch (Great Depression and Great Recession) were during Republican, laissez faire administrations

  6. Supply side doesnt work. Small businesses hire people if consumer demand picks up. Not when their taxes get lowered.

    Still the question remains: what did they do right?
    Was it raising the taxes?

    RATs..........Republicans are Traitors!!!!!!!!! The above facts further prove it.

    Romney arrived on stage with Turnaround Guy image but presented a middle class Turndown agenda. No one can win elections like that.

    Obama needs to pull some whip this time around and put fiscal picture as the main focus. America has given him another chance, now he has nothing to lose in terms of elections. His hands are free to do his duty for which he has been elected the second time. :D

    Supply side can work very well if the focus is also to balance the budgets. Lower taxes give more disposable incomes which in turn translates into more consumption. Problem with supply side has been the supported by rampant spending and debt building.
