Dear Derek:
Thank you for sharing your critique. It is the editorial position of PRwatch that the major drivers of the deficit are not being addressed by the Fix the Debt/Wall Street gang and that the deficit is much less important than stimulating the economy, which cutting Social Security benefits plainly will not do. It is true that government spending is one part of GDP and not the only factor in the nation's gross domestic product, but the notion that the economy will heal itself naturally if earned benefits are cut does not add up. We stand with Dean Baker and Paul Krugman, two very thoughtful economists, on these points.
It seems that the most damaging legislation as regards wages will be tied with the Trade agreements being written by ALEC and the democrats......you made no mention of the elephant in the room.
...."scientific training"? You true believers have no trouble accepting the tripe, half-truths, distortions, and outright lies of your high priests of AGW dogma--credentials or lack thereof notwithstanding.
Hilarious.
Unfortunately, ALEC was way too successful last Session in the New Hampshire legislature. They were able to repeal our minimum wage law that we Democrats had worked so hard to pass.
