So Merrylander. You really believe that the ACA is gonna be paid with $700Bill in cuts to Medicare? You believe costs are gonna down with a tax on every tube and lube in the medicine cabinet?

I'd call that "uncertainty"..

I do realize that Republicans were ordained by the Almighty to rule these Dis-united States, and I do apologize for helping kick their collective arse to the curb - but get fucking used to it.

Uncertainty....what a load.

If they would just start spending their money and hiring people the uncertainty would go right away.

Just another smoke screen for your guys stealing all the taxpayers money and not putting it back into the system like they are supposed to.

It's the new Austrian economics, you know that 70% of the economy is consumer driven so beggar the consumer and all will be well.

They'd probably be better off in the eyes of the American public if they did exactly that. There's simply nobody in politics held in lower esteem than the GOP's Congressional delegation.

Indeed. It's amazing how these titans of industry react to anything other than outright adulation, even after damn near destroying the economy just 4 short years ago.

Maybe these titans will come down a notch or two after the ultimate titan of industry, Jack Welch, made such a fool of himself a couple of weeks ago.

The uncertainty has to clear up first.

Much of the uncertainty has to do with the Mideast and Europe, not to mention whether the GOP will ever return to reality from the wilds of their Teabaggery.
