You do know that Romney paid a higher rate of tax than Obama, right? That one of the criticisms of Romney was that was paying more tax than he needed to?

Don't you have to register as a PAC with the FEC?

The argument is that the housing bubble inflated partly because of abnormally low interest rates.

Interest rates were low becayse of the deflation of the dotcom bubble. Greenspan generally gets...

They've lost control of the narrative. Where they had a supine press corps, it has now taken to its feet and is showing teeth. I think the AP thing is biggest problem they have.

Creating new jobs involves investing capital. The calculation is risk vs return. With higher taxes, the return is lower, so some of the otherwise-good investments are dropped.

This might explain it:

Thanks.

This article on that site is interesting: I tried twice earlier today and got a message about it being blocked in my country. Now I can access it just fine from the link in the first...

It's interesting that a court has now recognised that opposing voter fraud is a partisan issue.

Just saying.

Think of MacGwire hitting 70 home runs on steroids. Would he have hit 70 if he was clean? We can't know.

It's the same thing with Obama: he had illegal assistance - substantial illegal...

That's rubbish. You look at the number of fliers in the US for the past two decades: the numbers of fliers drop off because of the potential of an unpleasant encounter with the TSA. A similar...

"Only kidding. Hope you like <bottle of whiskey from gym bag>. Thanks for all you've done..."

The test for this will be the consequences for the staff involved.

If they "weren't prepared", then there will be clear steps taken to ensure even-handed-ness in the future, and significant...

I don't think this helps, Mark. If we disapprove of the dark political arts, we should do so even-handedly. I also wonder whether this might be a setup, but combining that reservation with a...

You said it. The stupid party.

Veryhrm, your points make a lot of sense. I disagree with the TSA - I've avoided visiting the US since it was formed.

But I'm going full Alinsky here. President Obama's administeation couldn't...

In case you've missed it, WPIH stands for "Worst President in History".

I diss the volume of liberal arts majors. I'm actually a fan of the liberal arts educational requirement in the USA. FWIW, I'm also a contrarian against the meme of the dumb yank.

Knowing about...

I have to say I don't understand this post.

I've made my argument. You've attacked the man and not the argument. And, after making my points with fact, I respond with the ad puerum.

Again, you don't address the point of the discussion,...
