Re: Debate schedule
I watched half of the last debate and I thought Obama was clearly winning with every response and his slick retorts were funny and hit the mark mostly imo. I really don't care who wins at this point, but I think Obama will win and probably should win. I'm just so tired of how Romney answers questions. There's just something either robotic or sneaky about it. As for Obama, I already know he's as slick as they come but his mesmerizing speeches and speaking seem to put him over the top.

The second one was done by Obama (with Republican support). The main difference was that the Obama stimulus was for building things, and all the money that went to businesses (such as GM) had to be paid back to the government (and subsequently was).
I was completely against the first stimulus because it was just a giveaway to banks that used it to give their CEOs million dollar bonuses. The second one was reasonable, and it seems to have worked ... Maybe not as well as we would have liked, but the only economists who will tell you it wasn't good are ones that are paid by Republicans to say that. I hope you are in favor of Trump doing the same stupid idea.

I saw a Crossroads GPS commercial that excoriated Obama's stimulus as a failure, because it presented Obama as promising the unemployment rate dropping to 5.6% from the estimated 7.5% by showing a graph. Then it showed what actually occurred, the unemployment rate was 10.5% when it was enacted, and it dropped to 8.1% at the time the commercial was filmed.
The problem was it was too small for a recession that was bigger and longer lasting than estimated or projected by Romer, Rubin, Sumners, and Tyson. Krugman and others argued for a $2 trillion package at the time, and the one that was passed was larded with too many tax cuts (30-40%) for those (companies and 1%) that would not generate much economic activity.
Bush and Republican economic policy of the last three decades has been promoting and practicing quackery and should be sued for malpractice and lose their license. Instead, we are at the precipice of returning these voodoo charlatans to the White House.
Biden will beat Ryan solidly, and I think public opinion polls after the debate will show at least a 60-40 split in favor of Biden winning the debate.
Ezra Klein is in the tank for the Ryan as a serious man of Washington meme which is ludicrous. I hope you are in favor of Trump doing the same stupid idea.
