Balta1701 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'll stick this one in here for now. Thanks to the deal struck last night, the U.S. is now on pace for $348 billion or so in austerity measures at the federal level compared to last year alone. This is just over 2% of GDP...a larger than the 1.5% of GDP cuts that have sent the UK back into recession. That's assuming the Sequester cuts happen in some fashion of course, they're about 1/4 of that total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeSox Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) the world is run by morons Either way, Congress is beginning to trim the deficit. And, as JP Morgan’s Michael Feroli points out, these efforts are expected to shave at least 1 percent of U.S. economic growth in 2013.

StrangeSox Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 liberals' sophie's choice probably SSM because we're currently in a straight-up violation of civil rights and I don't think a state-by-state solution to gun control legislation will be particularly helpful, especially given Chicago's bleed-over into a neighboring state.

I agree. For the record, I don't believe this will be an either or, but if I was the republicans I would probably try to deliver SSM votes if gun restrictions delayed.

bmags Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'm confused about what's happening with SSM Illinois. First edition had on the senator proposing it, saying they were not pushing it thru the lame duck anymore. Instead they are going to try and do it with the new congress. Does anyone know how good the odds are? 3 days ago it seemed like it was a sure thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 The conservative movement is still an elaborate moneymaking venture The conservative media movement exists primarily as a moneymaking venture. As Rick Perlstein explained in the Baffler, some of the largest conservative media organs are essentially massive email lists of suckers rented to snake oil salesmen. The con isn’t limited to a couple of newsletters and websites: The most prominent conservative organizations in the nation are primarily dedicated to separating conservatives from their money. FreedomWorks, which is funded primarily by very rich people, solicits donations from non-rich conservative people. More than 80,000 people donated money to FreedomWorks in 2012, and it seems likely that only a small minority of those people were hedge fund millionaires. And what are people who donate to this grass-roots conservative organization funded mostly by a few very rich people getting for their hard-earned money? In addition to paying Dick Armey $400,000 a year for 20 years to stay away, FreedomWorks also apparently spent more than a million dollars paying Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh to say nice things about FreedomWorks, in order to convince listeners to send FreedomWorks money that FreedomWorks would then give to Limbaugh and Beck. It’s a pretty simple con. Beck, meanwhile, also has a subscriber-based media operation, in which people pay his company money for access to programs where Beck expresses opinions that he was paid to hold. He also spent years telling everyone to buy gold from a company that pays him and defrauds consumers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
