Jeremiah - "Not sure if you even live in America or are American, but the Occupy Wall Street protests are getting bigger.
Did Faux News tell you otherwise?

Sailwind - "There are other ways to increase tax revenue rather than raising rates on those who happen to be in the higher income brackets and playing the class warfare bull."
Says someone who is playing the "class warfare bull" himself....
Except the GOP simply isn't interested in that. All they want to do is protect their elite 1% paymasters, and unfortunately, thinking conservatives like Sailwind are buying it, hook, line and sinker.
Rubbish. Obama’s administration wants to invest in rebuilding America’s infrastructure.
The GOP won’t have a bar of it.

SushiSake - "Leadership involves – among other things – working to benefit what you represent."
Sorry, my bad. The GOP ARE representing their corporate paymasters - the elite 1% - very successfully.
Apologies for any misunderstanding.

Jeremiah, you're right - Obama probably will look to Greece - to see what might happen to the U.S. economy if the GOP take power.

Sail, unnecessary sarcasm noted but you joke with this at your own risk.
Leadership involves – among other things – working to benefit what you represent.
The GOP/TP are totally against this concept as you well know.
The GOP/TP have no interest whatsoever in doing anything serious to help the American people or America.
No, the best thing Congress can do in my opinion is – NOTHING.
Then the Bush-era tax cuts will expire as planned.

The key problem with conservatives now is they think they can continue spending without earning a commensurate amount to cover costs.
They've done it before - we saw it when they launched both wars - did bush and co. implement anything at all to raise funds to cover the costs of both wars?
No.
Did conservatives demand it?
No.
Both are complicit, jus like they are compilicit now.
Any sensible mum knows that you have to earn in order to be able to spend.
And it's clear the GOP/TP elites are living in a different world than the rest of us.
Obama 2012.

"Failure looms for U.S. debt talks"
Failure...it's at the core of being a conservative.
Republicans can never find to many ways to screw the middle and bottom class to satisfy their corporate sugar daddy masters.

President Obama creating jobs.
That's sure going to get under the skin of the GOP who have made it a primary focus to block the president from doing so.

WilliB - "The horrible misguided Euro project is pulling them all down. Like a continental suicide pact. It is sad to watch this slow-motion disaster enfolding.... and all of it caused by the Euro political elites and their boundless ignorance and arrogance."

How would he know information is being hidden if he doesn't know about it???
Anyway, Japan has only signed up to "participate" in discussions, not the trade pact itself.
I have full confidence Japan will join.
Yubaru - "What does anyone expect from the LDP? The agriculture collective is what put and kept the LDP in power for decades."
True, that was until Ozawa launched a masterful campaign involving going into the countryside to campaign before the DPJ won. He was instrumental in swinging the majority of Japan’s agriculture community to vote for the DPJ for the first time.....I think in history. He deserves credit – and a lot of it – for that fact alone.
I’m not sure this is correct, but last time I read, the farming sector accounts for something like 2.5% of Japan’s GDP. If that is the case, it’s a very small player.
I see the introdiuction of larger scale more productive farms, possibly very large Government-subsidized co-ops. I read recently there is a move of young businesspeople investing in farms – a very interesting development imo.

Jokes aside - have the GOP/TP found themselves a serious candidate yet?
Besides Jon Huntsman, all the rest are circus acts.

Q: Do any of these GOP candidates actually have passports? Have any travelled outside America?
I'm asking, because when I read about their foreign policy ideas and proposals, I get a very clear idea that they have been getting their view of the outside world from Hollywood movies.
