    Answer the T/F question in the last post in the thread, then ask a new one. A question asked previously may be repeated.

    T/F: It's a good idea to raise taxes in the current economic climate

    False.

    The election will be entirely determined by one theme: The Economy.

    False, it's about Keating 5 vs. Ayers (these days)

    Another bailout package will be passed, perhaps before the next president takes office

    False. (do you want explanations or not?).

    The dollar is getting stronger and this trend will continue.

    True, there's always a flight to quality in troubled times. Explain if you like!

    T/F: escalating the war in Afghanistan is a good idea.

    False. Transporting troops by traditional means is more energy efficient than by escalators.

    T/F: Sarah Palin will wear a red wool blouse with a black skirt during one of her public appearances over the next month.

    True.


    Government healthcare will increase the waiting time to have a surgical procedure performed.

    That's a trick question. Government-provided healthcare will not be mandatory, so the far majority of people will not be affected by it. For many of those that do subscribe to government-provided health care, the alternative would be no health care at all, so I guess in that sense it "increases" the time, because the surgery otherwise would not be performed at all.

    T/F: When asked what it means to be a "maverick," Sarah Palin will take a minute to collect herself, and then answer, "I care deeply about people, Katie."

    False, she'll talk about how she took on her own party in Alaska and the oil companies.

    T/F: Whoever is the next president will be unable to deliver on the vast majority of their campaign proposals, especially with the economic situation as it is

    False. I don't think they are promising much to be honest, so I guess they will deliver on "Change" and "Hope" and "Inspiration".

    T/F: Of the four candidates, Joe Biden is probably the most fit to lead this country.

    True.

    Voting machines and voter disenfranchisement will play a major role in the coming election.

    False. It won't be close enough for that to matter.

    T/F Ralph Nader will get more votes than all the other independent candidates, combined.
