We all know in what shape the economy is now.
Democrats are facing slow recovery due to a number of reasons, but nonetheless tout 27 months of consecutive private sector job growth. They also focus on positive manufacturing numbers as well.

Republicans make the case that the stimulus failed to create jobs and that unemployment is still rising over 8%.
They also believe that our economy is not creating jobs fast enough to keep up.

Both sides agree that real reforms need to be made. Tax reform, entitlement reform, economic reform, (a 3rd stimulus?), etc...

We've heard Romney and Paul Ryan's ideas, but...

What will the economy look like under a 2nd Obama Term??!!

    Pretty much the same as under any Dem-Rep... they've brought us to devastating collapse, and because it's not just Amerika but global, it's too late to stop it.
    Politicians have only as much Principle as the voters who choose them to Rule.

    We will be handed over to communist Russia. By Obamas own word. We will no longer be the North American Union. No, We will be Amerika.

    I'd say much the same as it is now with slow steady growth. On the other hand if Romney wins it will be a return to the great depression with massive unemployment, business failures, and worst. We will look like Greece does now. It will not get better until the Republican have been pushed out of all areas of government.

    Detroit has problems like all cities do but it is not a wasteland either. Please just show both sides of the pictures because if Detroit was that bad the State would be in serious trouble.

    WE ALREADY " KNOW " WHAT THE ECONOMY WILL LOOK LIKE ! The Last Four were just a WARM UP FOR TOTAL DISTRUCTION !

    Here's another " Little Thing " ................................



    Monday, July 30, 2012

    Democrats just couldn’t hold it together. With less than 100 days to go before the election, the left let slip its vision of a second term for President Obama that will be the end for the Second Amendment.

    They’re riding on an emotional wave created by James Holmes, the suspected Aurora, Colo., movie-theater shooter who was charged with 24 counts of murder on Monday. As the courtroom proceedings in that case unfolded, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey Democrat, and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, New York Democrat, took to New York's city hall to introduce legislation making it much harder for law-abiding citizens nationwide to purchase ammunition.

    The liberal duo would restrict ammunition sales to licensed dealers and require buyers to show a photo ID at the time of purchase, effectively banning people from doing their shopping online. Also, the dealer would have to maintain detailed records for each ammunition sale and report anyone purchasing over 1,000 rounds.

    Democrats just couldn’t hold it together. With less than 100 days to go before the election, the left let slip its vision of a second term for President Obama that will be the end for the Second Amendment.

    They’re riding on an emotional wave created by James Holmes, the suspected Aurora, Colo., movie-theater shooter who was charged with 24 counts of murder on Monday. As the courtroom proceedings in that case unfolded, Sen. Frank Lautenberg, New Jersey Democrat, and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, New York Democrat, took to New York's city hall to introduce legislation making it much harder for law-abiding citizens nationwide to purchase ammunition.

    The liberal duo would restrict ammunition sales to licensed dealers and require buyers to show a photo ID at the time of purchase, effectively banning people from doing their shopping online. Also, the dealer would have to maintain detailed records for each ammunition sale and report anyone purchasing over 1,000 rounds.

    This is going back to the bad old days of 1960s-era gun-control laws, which banned mail-order sales of ammo and required logs to be kept. These restrictions did absolutely nothing to help law enforcement, as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms admitted when Congress repealed those provisions in 1986.

    Mr. Lautenberg also wants to turn back the clock with a Senate vote this week reinstating a ban on “high-capacity magazines,” which he defines as any that hold over 10 rounds. The New Jersey Democrat wants to attach his bill to pending cybersecurity legislation, but his leader, Sen. Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, is opposed, knowing the political reality for his vulnerable members.

    The Senate’s third-ranking leader, Chuck Schumer of New York, couldn’t restrain himself from taking to the floor Thursday to plead for more gun control: “Maybe, maybe, maybe we could pass some laws that might, might, might stop some of the unnecessary tragedies that have occurred.”

    In a statement on his bill, Mr. Lautenberg said Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, among others, “publicly expressed acceptance or support for some form of gun regulation since the Colorado shooting.” That’s a rather fanciful interpretation of what Justice Scalia said on “Fox News Sunday” this weekend. Justice Scalia, who penned the landmark District of Columbia v. Heller decision striking down the District’s 30-year gun ban, said the ruling left open the possibility of limitations on guns.

    “What the opinion in Heller said is that it will have to be decided in future cases — what limitations upon the right to bear arms are permissible,” said the justice. “My starting point and ending point probably will be what limitations are within the understood limitations that the society had at the time. They had some limitation on the nature of arms that could be borne. So, we’ll see what those limitations are as applied to modern weapons.” He gave the example that cannons wouldn’t qualify because they aren’t carried by hand.

    The shape of those future limitations will change should Mr. Obama win his last political election. The switch of a single vote would put Justice Scalia and the originalist interpretation of the scope of the Second Amendment in the minority. Millions of gun owners will have this in mind as November approaches.

    SORRY ! - I see that you are from Illinois .
    You live in a much different place than me so I didn't pick up on that at first .

    I have never ordered ammo by mail ( UPS ) , but it looks pretty pricy . The AK-47's you and everybody else speak of are really just " Look Alikes " anyway . A REAL AK-47 is VERY EXPENSIVE to own and you must " Jump through hoops " with the FBI and BATFE just to buy one . Without a detachable magazine these Look Alikes are Just Like ANY HUNTING RIFLE ( only ugly ) .
    I think that any LAW ABIDING CITIZEN should be able to own whatever they want , Law Abiding being the key word .I would deny honest people nothing , it's not my place . I still think a shotgun is the most effective home defensive weapon there is ( but that's just me ) . Truth be it known , you don't need 40 rounds to stop a bad guy " just ONE well placed shot " ( or double tap ) .
    Have a good one !

    Sure , i agree . I have owned ( at one time or another ) 3 of them . VERY FUN TO SHOOT ! I tended to waste a lot of ammo but it was cheap . They are VERY durable like you said . I have been around guns my whole life and the way that the MSM depicts them to fit their agenda is Insulting to me !
    I feel that we don't NEED any more gun control laws . We Have Thousands Already On The Books and the only people they hurt are the ones you don't need to fear antway !
