Who's business is actually picking up???

Well, I'm still holding just barely steady, but my wife had her best month ever in real estate last month. We need jobs, and as long as American buisness keeps getting punished for doing buisness here, they will be tough to come by. Let's just hope that knee cap and tax is on the shelf for awhile. I like to think about what Reagan did, when he inherited an economy with double digit unemployment, double digit interest, and inflation running amok. He cut taxes from 70 to 28% and literally doubled the tax revenue for the government.

And sent us down the path that led to here. Pay down the debt. Raise taxes to do it. We can't cut taxes and keep Social Security, Medicade, Medicare and spend billions each year nation building.

You're making things too easy. Besides, unless the government gets spending under control it's just a moot point.

BTW, how did your party go...hope it was a success. You have Dwight Yokum on vinyl...reckon I'll have to do a search on Ebay.

Apples and oranges. I don't believe that Reductio Ad Absurdum applies in this case.
