Predictions? Post who you're voting for and why. I figured I would make this a tad early for all the predictions.

Have you ever taken a stats class? As sample size increases, variance decreases. MOE would matter if you were taking into consideration one or just a few polls. With this many samples, MOE would be very, very low. And the "mittmentum" ended like 2 weeks ago.

R value moved from + to neutral around the 15th of October.

You're an idiot.

$10 says Associated Press (and thus, in turn, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News, CNN, and FOX) calls Pennsylvania for President Obama within five minutes of the polls closing there.

Pennsylvania is not in play. You can say it is all you want. That doesn't make it true.

Also, for the record, some debt is good. Having a manageable debt shows that the United States can pay its creditors and lends a certain credibility to the nation's fiscal and monetary policy. People aren't going to lend money to a nation without any debt...

The Chinese love us. They need consumers to buy their goods and we eat up their goods like our life depends upon it.

Although I have to admit they're a little angry about our military expansion in the region.

Greece had an economy solely based on tourism, benefits that would make the swedes jealous and then joined a conglomerate that would remove state control over its own currency. US is nowhere near any of this.

An assclown will win. Probably Obama again this round. The next election it will go rep if it doesn't thin one.

It needs to cycle back and forth to convince ignorant people that everything is the "other side"'s fault to perpetuate this bullshit system.


People bitch about bush, then vote for another douche like obama, people bitch about obama then vote for a douche like romney. It's such a fucking joke.



All from a people who will believe just about anything. I wish I could chase down every dumb person in this country and slap some sense into them.


America's you are fucking retarded. A good chunk of the rest of the world is in the same boat, but I don't live there so they aren't really my problem.

Stop being stupid America. I have to live with the shit you vote for. I have to wake up, knowing that I'm living in a country that's largely dominated by people like you. It's fucking tragic. I have to snort a few prozacs just to get myself out of bed in the morning. Look at what you've done to me.

That's literally not possible, we are a sovereign currency issuer, we can't default unless we choose to (like the GOP house almost did).

asked my teacher what she thought about making it illegal to abort a baby even if it's insest or rape, and I got more than what I had bargained for

It took her a minute but out of no where she says "My first year in college I was raped, I was 17 and I wasn't drinking but he was, and you are so unemotionally stable for a while afterwards, she didn't become pregnant but she still had emotional problems."

1) It wouldn't be a new agency as much as a consolidation of already existing agencies (in other words, government gets smaller, not bigger)

2) The idea has been supported by many business leaders, including the president of the US chamber of commerce.

The idea behind it is to take multiple agencies that deal with overlapping things and consolidate them into a single agency.

The dollar figure means nothing. For a fair comparison you need to look at debt to gdp adjusted for inflation.

Considering that's the entire point of the proposal, you'll need some evidence to support that claim.

Use your head: If business were so against this, would the CoC support it?

It might not be a great idea, but you're totally misrepresenting it.

everyone knows that if america goes bankrupt then the world economy will crash, which is why no other country will let us go bankrupt. Why do you think countries still lend us money?

If your voting for mitt romney, your supporting big box stores over small businesses, going backwards in human rights issues, and quick "fixing" the economy by creating a lot of low paying jobs that are less than sustainable.

Countries only lend us money because it is profitable for them. The US can never go bankrupt, we are a sovereign currency issuer. Even if no one wanted to buy our bonds ever again we still wouldn't go bankrupt. The only purpose of the bond market is to let the government decide what interest rate it wants to pay on it's debt.
