Again, there is no legitimate reason to drag (Big R)Republicans into it. 98% of them are on your side on it. Solid Reps will never accept any explanation as good enough.

Economic numbers will count the most during 2012, imo, as well as the different economic roadmaps Couldn't agree more.... but there are some curious and confusing undertows present. I think there is a slowly growing understanding in the society that gross numbers like GDP can be misleading. Throw enough money off a helicopter, and you'll have a bounce in GDP, as people run to spend it. I may be mistaken, but there is an evolving concern about the fact that much of our prosperity (and GDP) is paid for with borrowed (read: freshly printed) money. People may not be enthusiastic about austerity, but deep down many are starting to feel that what is going on is not sustainable. Who knows, maybe enough citizens will decide not to trust the demagogues and their bs numbers.
