You honestly think Romney and the Tea Party will improve this?

They'll make it worse by cutting anything resembling a social net on the down on their luck lower middle class and poor.
Wouldn't want to cut military spending or raise the capital gains tax now would we? Nah...

Tim, the question is not if "Romney and the Tea Party will improve this". The question is can we survive another 4 years of the same or worse than we are in now under Obama. That is the question.
But YES indeed, Romney will do better come 1-21-2013. Look to the states that elected Repun Governors and the states with Demo Governors. Which is doing better? Illinois or Wisconsin? California or Virginia?

The fear tactics you use of "cutting anything resembling a social net on the down on their luck lower middle class and poor" are not working any longer. The new media has awaken people from their LSM hypnosis. People are better informed today and even the "fact checkers" are in need of "fact checkers".

Get used to saying President Romney.

Joe: California was a mess both under Democrat and Republican. Need I remind you the failures of the "Governator"?

It's not fear tactics I speak of. It's reality. Right now, Republicans in Congress are freaking out over the idea of having to implement the 'draconian cuts/Sword of Damocles' on military spending. You know, because of that bi-partisan committee that was supposed to come up with a budget plan to reduce the deficit that completely failed.

It's been made obvious where Republicans, if left in charge, will cut the government. It won't be in military, and they are Norquisted into ever raising or even reforming taxes.

it's not my fault if folks can't pay attention to what's happening inside the Beltway.

Again, it's not like I'm a massive Obama supporter either. He's made his own contributions to this mess.

Mitt Romney though?

The "Governator" was not a republican by any stretch of the imagination. RINO. He had to deal with the overwhelmingly liberal legislature.

The fear tactic Tim was, you stating falsely "cutting anything resembling a social net on the down on their luck lower middle class and poor" since you did not mention military spending in your comment at all. That is just not supportable.

"Republicans, if left in charge, will cut the government." As they should. As they NEED to do. Borrowing 4o cents on the dollar is not sustainable.

"and they are Norquisted into ever raising or even reforming taxes." Again not supported by the facts. Republicans have on numerous occasions talked about reforming the tax codes. They have plans. It is the democrats refusing to come up with a plan. Romney and Ryan have both spoken about doing just that this week.

Yes, Romney is the man and you better get used to saying President Romney.

I will add Tim, Romney was my 3rd choice but it is what it is. America will not stand for a man in the WH who hates America and all it stands for.

"Dems Giving Away Tickets to Obama's Speech " This is how desperate they have become.

Come on moe - share the wealth like Tim! By the way Tim - what additional social nets do you need? Do you really think that Romney would cut these programs?

Agreed. But Tim uses the democrat talking points. Probably, Tim doesn't have anything at risk to have to worry about capital gains, so raising the CG tax is OK with him. It's class warfare at its finest, and the funny thing is the Dems in congress are as wealthy or more so then the Repubs. Beware of the rich guys that say their "fighting" for you. Mikulski, Cardin, O'Malley, and have been feeding at the public trough for decades and have done quite nicely for themselves as "public servants" at the expense of the poor and middle class. And how's that been working for us? Keep voting them in and you should expect the same results.

Good question, Chuck. I like to know exactly what the guidelines are for classifying a student as homeless. That may sound picky and ridiculous, but it's always the starting place for a proper analysis.

Balto. Co. has been educating Balto. City students for years. Now, to avoid getting caugt, they are Homeless.

What ?! While I was engaged in a Jerry Springer Style Divorce, my son and I resided with my Parents in their home and I do not recall my child being inserted into the "Homeless' category. We did the proper paperwork and went through an in-home inspection complete with documentation that my bills, ect. where now addressed to my Parents home.

HOLY MOLEY - do not tell my son that. He would have had a fit...and I hope nobody tells their Children they are placed in that category.
