I see no good reason for the Democratic Governor of New Hampshire to stick with his "backroom deal" when it comes to replacing Senator Gregg. Republicans have stabbed the Americans in the back so many times and they can't be trusted to follow through on anything except tax cuts so the NH Governor should fill the spot with a Democrat. Screw the Republicans. Our economy is swiftly going over a cliff and the Republicans in the Senate don't even care. All they care about is tax cuts and doing whatever they can to make Obama fail. If Obama fails, then America fails. These Republicans are so unpatriotic. When our economy finally hits bottom, the Republicans will move to another country so that they can destroy that economy. It's what they are good at doing.
as long as the Dems have "give-em-help" harry, the repugs need fear nothing.
On Feb. 8, 1996, in a ceremony at the Library of Congress, President Clinton signed legislation revamping the telecommunications industry, saying it would "bring the future to our doorstep."

Says who? That one lone economic voice Paul Krugman? Where are the rest? What few expert opinions I've found online do not have Mr. Krugman's opinion. AND. Why isn't Mr. Krugman in Obama's cabinet, if everything he says is correct? Surely Obama and his administration would know this, would they not?
Dem senators are on record as saying that this Debt Stimulant Bill will do absolutely nothing until 2 years from now. If that is true, then what urgency is there other than political? History of economic cycles, show that recessions eventually correct themselves, and if that is the case, in 2 years those jobs could already be back on track anyway.
Yeah, let's take a stroll down Memory Lane and review what our finest pundits had to say about the Iraq war (remember that?) six years ago.
Concerned Canuck says Krugman is apparently alone in his opinion about the stimilus package. In fact, there are many economists who share Krugman's view that the plan, as it stands, is too small. Citing the fiscal ideas of Dem senators hardly counters Krugman. Most of them, and their GOP colleagues, have shown themselves to be economic illiterates.
Also...Jurrassic - you can send 'em to me. You don't have to troll around down here for readers!
Where are all these economists? I haven't read more than a couple that have Krugman's opinion. An overwhelming majority call for tax cuts.
I've been patiently waiting for said economists to come out of the woodwork, and support Krugman's positions. So far? None. If it is imperative that this economic mess get borrowed dollars thrown at it as quickly as possible, common sense dictates that these economists would be everywhere including in the media. Where are they? All I see is Dem supporter Krugman. Well if I was partisan, I'd repeat the party mantra too.
Some children are diagnosed with autism who were subject to prenatal alcohol use by their mothers. While these children can look normal, they are suffering from brain damage seen in fetal alcohol syndrome or fetal alcohol effects or fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (all different names for differing characteristics of the damage).
