... to that important psychological 10,000 mark on the DOW...
Yo, yo, yo, U_D, what colors are those glowing LEiDs today?
Green for Spain?
Hot red for Greece?
Maybe a nice amber for those in denial?
Now, I wonder, why won't the Democrats pass a budget this year?
Is the plan to leave the hard choices to the Republicans so they can go back to being the demagogues on the sideline? Is it a lot easier to be a community agitator than a leader?
--let me-- let me do the positive side of this. Okay? We've-- just been through eight years where people said-- many people said, ‘Deficits don't matter. We can-- we can pass huge tax cuts, pass huge new programs without paying for them.’ That debate has changed fundamentally. Now you don't hear people say anymore, ‘Deficits don't matter.’ You don't hear people saying that we can pass enormously—enormous expansion of government without paying for it. That's an important change. I think all Americans understand that our deficits are unsustainable. And I think that'll be helpful as we move to try to make the hard choices to bring them down again.”
