Yes but it won't work. Why? Simply because they went deeper into debt to afford that temporary tax cut. This means that you'll have to pay back the principal (raise taxes to their previous level) AND pay interest on the principal (now you have to raise back taxes even more!).

If taxes are not raised, they'll simply print money; inflation = hidden tax.

And it's interesting to see the wording Obama uses:

'' we need to raise revenue '' -- feels like someone else will pay

but you won't hear him say '' we need to raise taxes'' -- feels like I'm going to pay.

Both are the same but Obama uses the revenue line.

Just knowing politics I can see several absurd predictions. Virginia is almost certainly going GOP in 2012 and Missouri being a 69% change for the GOP is pretty ridiculous--it's a bitterly fought battleground every year.

And unless the model takes into account "real" unemployment, housing equity and gas prices then it's a model that's basically without merit.

I think Obama wins (God help us), but this model is of no more value than the fallacious global warming computer models that ignore cloud formation and solar activity.

I find these predictions stupid at best. Wasn't it 3 months ago that there ws no way Obama could win re election? It's simple the admin is paying it's unemployed voting base to drop out of the workforce to lower unemployment numbers.
