Exactly. People do spend. Companies do spend. And they're spending re to the line of we do or we go under, or perhaps for families, we do or we starve. We are not spending on a line that would drive the economy anywhere but at best, a flat line. Banks, large corporations, are sitting on unprecedented levels of cash, so much so that they're starting to get charged for storing the money.

The economy and consumer spending/ consumer confidence feed off each other. Suppress one, you suppress the other. If your friend thinks that Obama leaving will spur the economy, what he's really saying is the fear of what Obama might do to business is part of what's strangling economy.

Oh let's not be nonsensical here anybody who can count knows that "being charged for storage" of said money is a small price to pay considering the prize is potentially a RIGGED ELECTION. Please be a good republican and an even better American,  and ask your party to release the hostages.

"Republicans want to offset the cost of restocking FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund by cutting spending elsewhere in the federal budget."




So let me see if I have this right.  The Republicans are insisting that money for unexpected expenses has to come from somewhere else, and the Senate Democrats are willing to put what little is left in their massively discredited venture socialism fund ahead of the good of the country, to insist that it all has to be on the credit card.

You know, the battery in my wife's car died last January.  It was a tight month, so that unexpected $100 bucks meant we didn't go out for sushi and shochu.  What's hard?

I can't believe the Dems are so foolish as to think rejecting any form of fiscal restraint is a winning formula for them.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.
