谁给讲讲美国下一步做什么？

That way, at least we would have a definitive answer about whether New Deal/government intervention would save the economy or make it worse.

(Of course, conservatives would still find a way to blame everything on "liberals" and dark-skinned single moms on welfare.)

definitive 啥啊. 没有对照组，控制变量和可重复性的实验, 结论是毫无意义的。我科学青年的说。

如果 McCain 当选，至少有＂半对照性＂的效果。他肯定会让他的好盆友和经济政策主脑 Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 抓经济，带动 ... 嗯 ... 致富。我们都知道 Lindsey Graham 是自由市场经济和 deregulation 的 guru。他的政策肯定会跟 New Deal 相反，可以彻底地证明一下芝加哥理论的伟大与正确么。

我恨不得JUN真的移民过来住上一年半载就不老把加拿大挂嘴上了，省得这个草地是邻居家绿的症状时不时发作一次。

Lindsey Graham Phil Graham 有什么关系么？

Jun · Post by **Jun** » 2009-02-25 16:13

I don't know. Both are friends with McCain, I think.

Phil Gramm is not related to Lindsey Graham though.

I was mistaken. Phil Gramm was McCain's economic advisor during his presidential campaign and also responsible for banking deregulation legislation in the late 90s.

But Graham was also involved in economic regulations and is friends with McCain.

Oh, Phil Gramm not Phil Graham. I got the spelling of his last name wrong.

说实在的我也搞糊涂了，都是老麦的死党，都是 gram gram 的，都是最好把政府这个篱笆拆拆干净，让狼进来爱吃谁就吃谁。

From wikipedia:

In a surprise move, Locke announced in July 2003 that he would not seek a third term,[7] saying, "Despite my deep love of our state, I want to devote more time to my family."[7]

Susan Paynter, a columnist at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, suggested that slurs, insults, and threats that Locke and his family received, especially the large number which came after his rebuttal to George W. Bush's 2003 State of the Union address, played a role in Locke's decision to leave office after two terms.[8] The governor's office received hundreds of threatening letters and e-mails; others threatened to kill his children.[8]

他要是竞选第三次应该也没问题, 比现在那个神经兮兮的民主党女州长强多了. 真丢人, 在蓝州都要靠反复重数选票才能选上.
他是唐人街家庭出来的. 靠AFFIRMATIVE ACT上的YALE. 要是写个自传也会好看.

Born into an immigrant family on Jan. 21, 1950, Locke spent his first six years in Seattle's Yesler Terrace, a public housing project for families of World War II veterans. He worked in his father's grocery store, became an Eagle Scout and graduated with honors from Seattle's Franklin High School in 1968. Through a combination of part-time jobs, financial aid and scholarships, Locke attended Yale University, earning a bachelor's degree in political science in 1972.

Democrats criticized Locke for embracing the Republican Party's no-new-taxes approach to dealing with Washington's budget woes during and after the 2001 economic turmoil. Among his spending-reduction proposals were laying off thousands of state employees; reducing health coverage; freezing most state employees' pay; and cutting funding for nursing homes and programs for the developmentally disabled. In his final budget, Locke suspended two voter-passed, pro-school initiatives while cutting state education funding. That same state budget, though, had record-high allocations for construction projects.

近年来有这样的勇气岁财政负责的的民主党人, 除了他就是克林顿了. 那是艰难的四年, 波音要走, DOT COM泡沫破灭. 失业率全美第二. 他用大量TAX BREAK留下了波音的生产线, 否则哪有过去三年的复苏.

这才是得我心的执政者. 政治上开明但不过激,务实. 财政上讲求实效和负责任.

我们CITY附近是共和党区, 但也是温和的共和党, 选区的美国国会议员是共和党人, 常为移民争取权利,我一点意见也没有.

KING COUNTY的黑人头头有加洲民主党政客之风, 整天折腾弱势群体权利话题讨好选民, 提出的方案理想是好的, 实际上没有可执行性. 把富饶的KING COUNTY搞的乌烟瘴气. 谢天谢地他被OBAMA看上当房屋交通发展部长去了.
