According to today's WSJ, we'll be heading for a major depression should either Clinton or Obama become President.

The only thing the GOP offers is "fear." If you understand anything about which party took our country deeper into debt, you'll know that the conservatives are legend for increasing debt and spending more.

This is kind of goofy since, over the years, the economy has done better with Dem presidents.

So..let's understand this: The greatest deficit in the history of USA has been presided over by a Conservative Republican President and now WSJ wants us to worry about Dems taking over the Presidency.

Cripes, it can't happen soon ENOUGH. What utter idiocy that is!

Miller's support of what the WSJ article claims about a demo president shows very clearly she doesn't have any lessons from history.

Pelosi promised change...

I guess she was right... Since the Dems took over control of Congress, gas prices have skyrocketed, foreclosure rates drastically increased, the economy has taken a big hit, Wall St is suffering and the war continues.

Big changes alright, just all bad. Sure hope the electorate remembers all these "changes" in November.

Rama: I've got no idea about what you're writing and I never will. Do you understand what it is that you're writing. If so, you're the only one.


Perhaps you can supply the link for WSJ article?

they are the definition of leaches. It is claimed that all of this buying and selling leads to a rational investment of resources, but in reality they mostly skim of the top of the economy. Who can look at the Internet bubble, the telecom bubble, the real estate bubble, executive pay, yadda yadda yadda and claim that our economy makes rational choices on investment?? The myth of free market action (including the employment market) does not match reality in America, and has not for a long time

Wall street traders are no better that the old style mob skimming off casino revenue. Traders make their money no matter who wins or loses in the economic struggle. They add almost nothing to our societal best interests, yet they take a huge amount of wealth as compensation for the games that they play.

Money, Money

from the musical: Cabaret

Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
it makes the world go round.

A mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
a buck or a pound, a buck or a pound,
Is all that makes the world go around,
that clinking clanking sound,
Can make the world go round.

If you happen to be rich, and you feel like a night's entertainment,
You can pay for a gay escapade.
If you happen to be rich, and alone and you need a companion,
You can ring ting-a-ling for the maid.
If you happen to be rich and you find you are left by your lover,
Tho you moan and you groan quite a lot,
You can take it on the chin,
call a cab and begin to recover on your fourteen carat yacht.

Money makes the world go around,
the world go around, the world go around,
Money makes the world go around,
of that we both are sure.
(Raspberry) On being poor.

When you haven't any coal in the stove and you freeze in the winter
And you curse to the wind at your fate.
When you haven't any shoes on your feet and your coat's thin as paper
And you look thirty pounds underweight,
When you go to get a word of advice from the fat little pastor,
he will tell you to love evermore.
But when hunger comes to rap, rat-a-tat, rat-a-tat, at the window
See how love flies out the door.

For money makes the world go around, the world go around,
the world go around.
Money makes the world go around,
the clinking, clanking sound
of Money, money, money, money,
Money, money, money, money,
Get a little, get a little,
Money, money, money, money,
Mark, a yen, a buck or a pound,
That clinking, clanking clunking sound
is all that makes the world go round,
It makes the world go round.

Poll: 81 percent think US on wrong track

Fri Apr 4, 2:41 AM ET



NEW YORK - More than 80 percent of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the highest such number since the early 1990s, according to a new survey.



The CBS News-New York Times poll released Thursday showed 81 percent of respondents said they believed "things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track." That was up from 69 percent a year ago, and 35 percent in early 2002.
