So we may get our first reading of what is generally considered the "full employment" by the Fed as a rate of 5 to 5.2% tomorrow. The Romney Recovery has been going really well.
whoopsThe Act set specific numerical goals for the President to attain. By 1983, unemployment rates should be not more than 3% for persons aged 20 or over and not more than 4% for persons aged 16 or over, and inflation rates should not be over 4%. By 1988, inflation rates should be 0%.
Public Law 101-508, attached to the Pollution Prevention Act, required the Economic Report to the President to be submitted within twenty days after the start of the session of Congress instead of within ten days after the submission of the annual budget.
Okay, it seems like #3 and #6 would almost inherently contradict. Especially with #2 sitting there. Who wrote this thing?!?1. Instructs the government to take reasonable means to balance the budget.
2. Instructs the government to establish a balance of trade, i.e., to avoid trade surpluses or deficits.
3. Mandates the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve to establish a monetary policy that maintains long-run growth, minimizes inflation, and promotes price stability.
4. Instructs the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve to transmit an Monetary Policy Report to the Congress twice a year outlining its monetary policy.
5. Requires the President to set numerical goals for the economy of the next fiscal year in the Economic Report of the President and to suggest policies that will achieve these goals.
6. Requires the Chairman of the Federal Reserve to connect the monetary policy with the Presidential economic policy.
So you're saying we should jail George P. Schultz and James Baker? (I went through like ten Reagan cabinet members before I found two still alive. Bonus at it being these assholes.)Reagan set the bad example and everybody followed suit, is all.

Real or adopted?Heavens no. Go after his children.
What I find interesting is that in 2011 Perry and Romney are both the same type of candidate, in a way. They're both establishment picks with good political history. One of the two ended up winning largely because the other one fucked up in an embarrassing and colossal way in front of everyone.
This year Trump and Carson are sort of the same kind of candidate, too. They're non-politician anti-establishment picks. Now if we're using 2011 as the cautionary tale that Trump could melt down, that's fine, but Trump's votes will likely go somewhere similar much like Perry's going to Romney.
At this point I personally feel like Carson has a much better chance of fucking up in a similar way Perry did. Trump seems to be able to roll with those punches pretty easily.
"The climate's been changing forever, and it will always continue to change," said Christie at an Aug. 4 event in Manchester, New Hampshire, which was captured on video. "Does human activity contribute to it? Of course it does. We all contribute to it in one way or the other. By breathing we contribute to it."
At an Aug. 29 event in Laconia, New Hampshire, a young woman volunteering with the group NextGen Climate asked Christie to clarify those comments: "Do you really believe that humans exhaling carbon dioxide contributes to climate change?"
"Give me my microphone back," Christie responded with annoyance.
"I really care about this subject," she responded.
"I know you really care about this subject, but you know what, the first thing you need to do is not be wrong, and not quote me incorrectly. I never said that humans contribute to climate change by breathing," Christie said.
"I never said it," he continued when she reminded him of the date and event. "Were you there?"
She confirmed that she was there and that she heard him say it.
"Then you need to clean out your ears, young lady," the candidate replied. "I never said that humans contribute to climate by breathing. Ridiculous statement. I never said that."
Rubio+Walker+Jeb! are rocking polling results of less than 20% combined right now so I don't even know if combining their powers to form one super establishment candidate would even work right now.
Smh no wordsOkay, it seems like #3 and #6 would almost inherently contradict. Especially with #2 sitting there. Who wrote this thing?!?

Donald Trump on Kim Davis: "The Supreme Court Has Ruled"
Well look the decision came down from the Supreme Court so Im a believer in both sides of the picture, Mr. Trump said Friday on MSNBCs Morning Joe. I would say the simple answer is let her clerks do it. Now, from what I understand, shes not letting her clerks do it, either. ..
The other simple answer is rather than going through this, [because] its really a very, very sticky situation, a terrible situation 30 miles away they have other places, they have many other places where you get licensed, and you have them actually quite nearby, Mr. Trump said. Thats another alternative. I hate to see her being put in jail. I understand what theyre doing. It would be certainly nice if she didnt do it, but other people in her office do it but from what I understand she wont allow other people in her office to do it. ..
You have to go with it, Mr. Trump said. The decisions been made, and that is the law of the land.
She can take a pass and let somebody else in the office do it in terms of religious, so you know, its a very tough situation, but we are a nation, as I said yesterday, were a nation of laws, he said. And I was talking about borders and I was talking about other things, but you know, it applies to this, also, and the Supreme Court has ruled. It would be nice to have other people in her office do what they have to do.
And now Trump has chimed-in on the whole license issue:
I could see this being the first big issue where the Breitbarters and Freepers have a major disagreement with him. How they handle it is going to be very interesting.
He's being pretty reasonable about it, IMO. The fact that the clerks couldn't even do it was ridiculous.
I like to rationalize that as "most independents are republicans that don't have the balls to admit it".
This is fabulous! It should be covered by every news outlet, especially after what snake Cruz and loser-guy Paul said last night. Nice to see some differentiation.And now Trump has chimed-in on the whole license issue:

Eh...I like to rationalize that as "most independents are republicans that don't have the balls to admit it".
