Or is it just the “Great Minds” thing? 😆 So why isn’t locking in funds for 30 years at a fixed rate of 3.3 percent a terrific investment for the U.S. government? Sept. 7, 2011 — On Sept. 7, the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds was less than 3.3 percent; for 10-year Treasuries, less than 2.0 percent. Most discussion of deficit spending has focused on potential stimulative effect of additional government spending. But, leave that aside. It wouldn’t appear that infrastructure needs are going to go away over time. Nor does there seem to be any peace dividend on the horizon. So, from a long-term point of view, how much money could the government save by borrowing now, instead of waiting to borrow later, at likely higher interest cost? And, if the economy recovered more quickly than most expect — and relative debt burden likewise shrank more quickly than generally thought — are there no other needs to which those rainy days funds could be put? Would it be a disaster if the government were left with “too much money” on hand? Is this and the “Infrastructure Investment Bank” to hard a topic for the MSM to cover? The yields on bonds 30 year bonds are dirt cheap right now yet investors keep putting money into them. Is there a better time time to sell bonds for infrastructure? » Posted By bito On October 4, 2011 @ 8:42 pm Muph, I can’t find the Pew graph I posted a wile ago, but can I post this with a compared to what comment?[img]http://pewresearch.org/assets/publications/2091-1.png[/img] » Posted By bito On October 4, 2011 @ 8:30 pm RCP does an average of all polls with many changing the the polling methodology and questions during the course of their polling.

There’s groups behind them, professional people, these people, we sent Jesse Watters and these people just wander around… Williams: Yea, but they’re jobless, O’Reilly: They’re jobless because they don’t want to work!

If people like it there, fine with me, but I found it a waste of time and effort. The deceptive headlines was/were the last straw with me and the “New Main” where everyone ran to instead of having any real discussion was a real turn-off.

The R’s have theirs, “Make Obama a one term president.” » Posted By bito On October 4, 2011 @ 12:41 pm President Obama Speaks on the American Jobs Act Eastfield College, Mesquite, Texas Edit: Event has concluded and removed » Posted By bito On October 4, 2011 @ 12:24 pm Friend — President Obama is in Dallas today urging Americans who support the American Jobs Act to demand that Congress pass it already. Though it’s been nearly a month since he laid out this plan, House Republicans haven’t acted to pass it. And House Majority Leader Eric Cantor is out there actually bragging that they won’t even put the jobs package up for a vote — ever. It’s not clear which part of the bill they now object to: building roads, hiring teachers, getting veterans back to work. They’re willing to block the American Jobs Act — and they think you won’t do anything about it. But here’s something you can do: Find Republican members of Congress on Twitter, call them out, and demand they pass this bill. Be the first to use our new tool and tweet for jobs. Here’s why we built this new tool, and why it’s important. If you’ve written letters or sent email to Congress before, you know it can be a frustrating experience — sometimes it takes them weeks to respond, and sometimes they don’t respond at all. But many members of Congress personally receive the messages sent to them on Twitter, so you have a better chance of getting your message directly to them. And even if they don’t respond, your message will be public — front and center for everyone who follows you or your representative. That means their staff, other constituents, and the media will see the mounting pressure. So tweet for jobs now: http://my.barackobama.com/Tweet-for-Jobs If you don’t use Twitter, you can also contact someone else who needs to hear from you about this bill: The editor of your local paper. We have a tool that lets you send a letter to the editor, and even gives you facts and tips to help you write the most effective note you can. Write one now: http://my.barackobama.com/Letters-for-Jobs The American Jobs Act is not controversial legislation. Ideas like rebuilding our roads and bridges, repairing our public schools, and keeping teachers in our classrooms are all ideas the Republicans have said they would support or have even proposed themselves. But they’re so dead set on preventing anything from getting done on President Obama’s watch that they will reverse, deny, or ignore what they’ve said and done in the past — even if it costs more American jobs. And remember: They’re willing to cost you and any other American your job, or your chance at a new job, because they think that doing nothing won’t cost them theirs. Tweet at Republican members of Congress now and tell them you want a vote on the jobs bill right away: http://my.barackobama.com/Tweet-for-Jobs Or write a letter to the editor: http://my.barackobama.com/Letters-for-Jobs I know we’ve been asking a lot of you lately, and all of us here would have loved to give you a break this week after all the emails we’ve been sending. But the reality is that we’re building a grassroots organization from the ground up even as we’re supporting the President in battles that need to be won right now. And that means we’ve got to be willing to stay focused week after week from now through the election. Thanks again to all of you who donated to the campaign before the end of the third quarter, and for everything else you do to have the President’s back.

Boycott Monday Night Football! It’s right here on page 3:
While I may hate those numbers, where is Pew and PPP to balance the Fox and Rasmussen polls in the average and it shows we have a great deal of work ahead of us.
Interesting that the spreads can go from 44 to 54 if all polling methodology is to be considered equal.
That is good news and let’s hope the trend keeps up on the vote.
I do have a question with your ” an increasingly unpopular President Obama” statement, his national popularity polling has him at close to where it was in 2008. Yes it has fallen from it’s highest point but it at a level at or above when it was when he was elected nationally and above many of those reelected for a second term at this point in their presidency.
I have read a few articles of baggers showing up at #OWS, the reception has been mixed, as you say they were the the inception and creation of the very thing #OWS is against they now want to hijack it like a troll on a blog. While I wish all of them would abandon their TP cause and join the #OWS movement, they cannot join it and pretend that this is what they were “really” for,
the leopard and spots thing, for me.
While I still have a problem with not having solidified message(s) based on principles of social justice for all, I do appreciate the spontaneity of the #Occupy movement and for Billo/Fox/CNN and other pudnuts complaining about “no leaders, or unorganized is ludicrous. They all bragged about the baggers being unorganized and leaderless (while ignoring the corporate money behind it) and ridicule #OWS for the same thing. Logically they can’t have it both ways, but then the MSM isn’t logical, except for what sells.

Sorry if I offended you or anyone. 😉
Do I like everything in the package, it doesn’t matter. The Dems can go back to their states and districts and say “I tried to help the country, the R’s didn’t, they were more interested in helping the top 1%.”
And ours should be “The R’s in Congress killed our Future.”
