The Economist is a euro trash rag. Finally having McCain's staff school her on what she reads, Sarah Palin told FauxNews's Carl "Creepy" Cameron the list includes, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and yes, The Economist, among others... I'm guessing Moose Monthly. |

I can't be the hypocrit and vote for him since I have already bashed and trashed him so much already, huh? CA is true blue without you... Still, if you vote the Big O, you get free kool-aid with your lunch! |

He's actually an evil genius midget, uh small person. That's really him on the trike. He's got a good tan.

Interesting take in Newsweek with the guilty according to factcheck.org:
* The Federal Reserve, which slashed interest rates after the dot-com bubble burst, making credit cheap. * Home buyers, who took advantage of easy credit to bid up the prices of homes excessively. * Congress, which continues to support a mortgage tax deduction that gives consumers a tax incentive to buy more expensive houses. * Real estate agents, most of whom work for the sellers rather than the buyers and who earned higher commissions from selling more expensive homes. * The Clinton administration, which pushed for less stringent credit and downpayment requirements for working- and middle-class families. * Mortgage brokers, who offered less-credit-worthy home buyers subprime, adjustable rate loans with low initial payments, but exploding interest rates. * Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, who in 2004, near the peak of the housing bubble, encouraged Americans to take out adjustable rate mortgages. * Wall Street firms, who paid too little attention to the quality of the risky loans that they bundled into Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), and issued bonds using those securities as collateral. * The Bush administration, which failed to provide needed government oversight of the increasingly dicey mortgage-backed securities market. * An obscure accounting rule called mark-to-market, which can have the paradoxical result of making assets be worth less on paper than they are in reality during times of panic. * Collective delusion, or a belief on the part of all parties that home prices would keep rising forever, no matter how high or how fast they had already gone up. http://www.newsweek.com/id/161936/output/print |

just for grins, I want to see her get in the White House. It would be interesting to watch. Of course, I'd be watching from France. |

Drivin, they both spend our money. Look at the deficits of the past 8 years. McCain will continue spending on blowing $hit up and stockpiling stuff that blows $hit up. I'd rather see it invested in education, alt-energy, healthcare and rebuilding our national infrastructure.

Sec. 105. Energy credit for geothermal heat pump systems.

Just a thought, but what do i know? Good point. The Economist is one of the more distinguished magazines on the planet. One neither John McCain or Sarah Palin are flipping through on a regular basis. They lack the intellectual curiosity for it and the offices they seek. |

"A survey of academic economists by The Economist magazine finds the majority—at times by overwhelming margins—believe Mr Obama has the superior economic plan, a firmer grasp of economics and will appoint better economic advisers."
