ParticipantGood post, scaredycat, but why do you think a 250 is “slow”? Mustang GT owners get a woody just thinking about their cars’ 5.2 second 0-60. That’s just a touch quicker than my Ninja 250.
And Casca … the bike is supposed to stay rubber side down; I dunno why you emphasize the ease of picking it up. Maybe you broke your sidestand and just park it on its side? Kind of a shame to tear up such a nice bike. Oh, and my limey bike will smoke your tubby Kraut Kruiser (same power and torque, almost 250 lbs. lighter, do the math) … but my 250 is twice as fun once you get off the superslab. I don’t think it would be much fun herding a bovine 750 lb. top heavy K bike (K1200LT, I assume? LT = Light Truck) up the south side of Palomar, but to each their own.

There is simply no historical precedent for the debt that Obama is generating now. We are in uncharted territory. [/quote]It’s pretty well charted, actually. We’re at about the level seen during the Truman administration, when compared to the GDP.
Of course we used to make stuff back then and sell it to other countries.

Participant[quote=EconProf]Here are a couple of facts released by Treasury about two weeks ago in various sources.
This year will see a federal deficit of 1.84 trillion (note: historically Treasury usually underestimates deficits). This is over 4 times last year’s fiscal year deficit under Bush.[/quote]You actually believe the headline deficit total? As I alluded to earlier, it’s a bogus number that includes Social Security contributions and other dishonest accounting practices.
Go here for some real numbers. Bush added over 1 trillion dollars to the national debt between 9/30/2007 and 9/30/2008 alone. Are you seriously suggesting Obama is going to add 4 trillion bucks in one year?
Anyway, Bush’s tens of trillions in unfunded Medicare and Medicaid benefits make the above look like petty cash.
[quote]So while Bush was clearly a big spender who thereby did great harm to the conservative cause, his deficits pale next to what we are now in for.
[/quote]News flash: Ron Paul didn’t win, which is a pity.

ParticipantPat, it would really help if you got the hang of the quoting markup. Put your followups after the ending [/quote] tag. The way you did it makes it look like I wrote some things I didn’t, that EconProf wrote what I did, and makes your additions hard to follow.
