The thing with FF is that policywise they will simply do whatever they think is best, even if it flies the face of what they did five minutes before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238749613615582511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16692575.post-86164239431760292542009-01-26T08:29:00.000+00:002009-01-26T08:29:00.000+00:00Dan,Interesting story, well, I think so!

Mate of mine in the UK runs a think tank, and offered to help set up a website here where voters could enter their political positions and be directed towards the party closest to them. We looked at it, but the problem was, the system just would not work with FF and FG sucking the politics out of politics. How do you decide from a policy point of view on either of them? <BR/>We decided not to bother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16692575.post-35348118972314872192009-01-18T22:05:00.000+00:002009-01-18T22:05:00.000+00:00It depends on the nature of the pork.

Fact is Americans will worry less about the deficit if they have jobs come the election. And I think they know this will take more than one term to fix.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238749613615582511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16692575.post-65669388661854773172009-01-18T21:11:00.000+00:002009-01-18T21:11:00.000+00:00I have major concerns about Obama’s policy on the ...I have major concerns about Obama’s policy on the deficit. He has said that the United States government should not worry about deficits over the next two years while spending money to jumpstart the ailing economy. <BR/><BR/>There is a grave danger that much of this money will be wasted on pork barrel spending. It is unlikely that he will do much to control the deficit in the final two years of his first term. After all he will be seeking re-election.<BR/>He can only hope that if sufficient growth occurs an increased tax intake may shrink the deficitJohn Barryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02492900180819129920noreply@blogger.com
