Now how coincidental is it that we happen to owe Russia and China TRILLIONS of dollars? Trillions we cannot even pay back! You think they aren't going to attack? Read your bibles people! This is it! Take refuge in the Lord and you will be saved!
Good Lord! Pun intended.

Not sure if I can project accurately as far away as summer, but..

The economy should continue bouncing along the bottom. Intermittent periods of strong job growth punctuated by periods of anemic growth (like 2010), GDP with a similar pattern.

On that note, the biggest concern by summer will be oil prices. If they continue to rise, we could see a serious damper on economic growth. Recall that high gas prices contributed to the recession in the first place by stalling economic activity in early 2008 (oil shocks previously caused or contributed to recession in 1990, 1980, and 1973).

That is supposed to spark unrest. With Cass Sunstein in charge of propaganda and so on and all the other people like him in the White House it can't fail to hit us hard.

Last time your boys ran things across the board they proved themselves to be utter failures, little got done and we ended up in two wars that we are still stuck in not to mention the economy. So far the right has not impressed in the House, better get busy because more elections are coming and with no progress the voters will not buy the same old line that it is all the Democrats fault.

"Stuck in"?

As though BO were helpless to end it.



Have any idea why we are still in Afghanistan?

Can you explain what victory in Afghanistan means?

What has to be done to achieve this victory?

What is BO's exit strategy











Give up?













Me too!


I can't explain why we are still there, what we want to achieve or what the plan for withdrawal is, and neither can BO.




As for what the voters will see in 2012...


How bad will Summer 2011 be?-deficit-1960.bmp

I am beginning to wonder what the USA will do when the rest of the world takes the dollar off as the worlds reserve currency.

I think you're on to something! This revolt will be a major issue in the 2012 elections. If the GOP candidate promises to enforce the law then he wins.
