No, apparently you are feeling a growing sense of desperation. Looks like things are about to get even more interesting in MI and PA -http://www.humanevents.com/2012/10/19/lee-iacocca-endorses-romney-for-president/

According to NBER, the recession started in December 2007 and ended in July 2009.  But who are they to argue with you?

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/did-romney-win-second-debate_654916.html These are the first polls that include samples of likely voters from after the debate.  Though it only includes one day of samples after the debate on the 16th, Romney has extended his lead in both polls. Bottom line...

Actually math isn't hard.  What is hard is controlling the flow of information in the world we live in. Romney's budget numbers aren't based on having 23 million people remaining unemployed, and a large number underemployed in part time jobs, or jobs that require less education/skills than they...

I posted my last replay while you composed yours.  See the 3 sentences pulled from the Wikipedia article that I linked to after my LMGTFY.com link.

In an earlier post in this thread, you said "i would have admitted i was wrong." when trying to say that I was wrong for saying that tax compliance with a hopeless complex tax code hurts the US economy.  I have provided links that explain the concept of Price Elasticity of Demand and Deadweight...

You know Qwerty, it doesn't matter whether you try to act in a condescending manner, or if you act like a blowhard.  It won't change the facts.  And the facts are that I stated some very basic economic concepts that are apparently foreign to you. In the first post that was a statement of the...

I stripped out all but the relevant parts of your post.  If you think the "Constitution thing is silly" and you get your news from Jon Stewart, there really is no point in trying to educate you.  Or put another way, "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time, and it annoys the pig."...

Again, the conservative estimate of the cost of tax compliance is $300 billion a year.  Can you tell me how spending time filling out tax forms and/or paying accounts and tax lawyers to fill out tax forms or find strategies to avoid taxes increases productivity or advances technology? It is not...

Wow, I am kind of surprised by your first question.  I guess I am guilty of assuming that economic literacy is more widespread than it actually is.  Of course if that was the case, our country would have followed different policies over the past 4 years.  Instead the middle class has been buried...

Sorry about that.  No offense was intended.  I was trying to answer multiple questions from one post and manually typing in the (wrong) poster to make my response easier to read.

You misspelled Obama

IrvineCommuter> 1)  What is he planning to cut?  What simplification is he talking about?  How is "simplification" going to save $300 billion?  3 questions in point number 1 Romney has already outlined principles for what should and what shouldn't be a function of government.  He has talked...

If Romney proposed all the things you are saying he does, then he wouldn't cut the deficit. But he has already said that he plans to reduce spending from the current 24% of GDP to the post World War II historic average of 20%. He plans on eliminating numerous deductions and simplifying the tax...

So what did you think? Based on the VP debate and this one, I think it is obvious that the Democrat strategy is to try to monopolize time and not worry about the truth.

Who do you think won?

In one of those Geithner links, Geithner said "We don't have a solution to the debt problem.  We just know that we don't like yours." Also, when you research the Path to Prosperity, read up on what the (non partisan) CBO said of the plan - they validated Ryan's numbers and assumptions.

One way to avoid campaign rhetoric is to look at consistency of opinions over time. First of all, though the Senate has ignored the law and hasn't passed a budget in over 3 years, you can look at Obama's budget proposals that have been scored by the CBO (as opposed to speeches that they can't...

No argument there.  Obama is far-far worse, but neither could be called a fiscal conservative.
