Quote from L-Kabong:
Come on Tsingy baby, you know I am not making the argument that preventing conception is akin to abortion. Read my post. Conception can and does occur with the pill, just very infrequently. The pill's main method of pregnancy prevention is contraception by suppression of ovulation, but ovulation still takes place in 2-10% of women. The pill also causes thinning of the uterine wall, impeding implantation of a fertilized egg. In that rare case the fertilized egg is expelled in the next menstrual cycle. This is why the Catholic Church and pro-life organizations oppose the pill, they consider it a potential abortifacient.
Some consider implantation the beginning of an individual, some consider conception to be the beginning.

Quote from RCG Trader:
Stimulus was needed, and it did stop the freefall. It may not have precipitated a reversal, but it did allow for a bottom.
Quote from Tsing Tao:
Again, whomever considers the use of the pill akin or even in the same galaxy as abortion needs to be sent to the nearest asylum.

Quote from Tsing Tao:
No, it didn't. What DID is the Fed's QE.
And again, pspr was speaking of stimulus. I asked for you to backup your claim of "the President doesn't control spending" as defense for "Obama brought back fiscal discipline" by showing me all the vetoes he used to stop congressional spending.
Quote from RCG Trader:
Okay, fair enuf, but we are still talking about fiscal responsibility on the executive branch, not the legislative branch. Ben did what he had to do a far as QE is concerned. There is no amount of cutting that will get us out of our debt hole, we have simply gone too far. We are technically bankrupt, and the only reason we are not Greece is that fact that no one is going to call in our debt, I get that.
But the OP does give things that Obama could do to bring fiscal accountability without sending us into the abyss any faster than we are already going.
