If they think we are seriously going to shutdown again they would revise. They don’t seem to be worried. Personally I wouldn’t worry either. Things would have to get very, very bad. That would be terrible news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Said they are closing schools all over the country. He knows at least five different union representatives of five different ones. Said it’s not pretty. He says Congress made the rules in effect to allow companies to not use labor as an asset like property ,which is one of their biggest tax write offs. Companies are going to begin and already have started terminating employees and then hir them back as private contractors, which makes them an asset. Funny thing about this strategy is companies pay them more in salary so they get health insurance when they rehire them to do the same job as a private contractor. Eco t 101 today. Edit…I forgot to that Wall Street is the driving force to muscle large companies with a lot of shareholders to do so. They begin to feel more comfortable.

I mean, he predicted that Anericans needed to "buckle up" in the debt crisis thread he started on April 24th. Also, are people allowed to predict what the various debt ceiling legislation might or might not achieve? Or does he hate those predictions too? How bout this thread about the Florida 6-week aboriton ban? He is clearly predicting the GOP will lose all national elections after this AND is fielding predictions from the forum. I suppose he is only sick of predictions when the likely popular opinion is against the democrats. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
