Actually Spud, this particular thread started with a discussion about the ALPA PAC which, by it's very nature, is political and germane to our profession. Just as important, if not more so, than a handful of whales being parked.

Default LBP

What happens to all the guys who bid NB long after they can hold WB for QOL?

LBP would seemingly have everybody bidding for QOL thus ensuring a slow uniform progression for everyone. Guys who would otherwise bid to stay senior would be out of luck.

FIIGMO we could argue this all day and night and we are venturing away from the original question but I think you are mistaken. The media spent 8 years down talking the economy calling it a recession when we had over 3% growth and unemployment at 5%. It's no wonder you and others still blame GWB for the economy, it's been drummed into you for years. Look at the data though and you will see he had a robust economy and job market until the 2006 elections put the Wicked Witch of the West and Dirty Harry in charge of Congress. The job losses and economic slowdown began then.

We really need an APC beer summit somewhere. I vote 80s basement.

At this point, you blaming Pelosi & Reid is just as bad as anyone on the Left blaming Bush for anything.

I think this 2104 economy is way better than what we had in 2008.

*The stock market is 10,000 points higher.
* Businesses and & Banks aren't rushing to D.C. to get bailout loans.
*The defect is shrinking.
*The economy is adding jobs, not losing them at a rate of 500,000+ per month.


Those are just a few of the differences that can be attributed to either party, or Administration. Give President Bush the credit for it, if you want to. Give Clinton, or Obama the blame. Who cares? This economy is better though.

I would "Back the PAC" no matter who they supported. Unfortunately because it'a the money that talks in Washington. Labels, political affiliations, and all the bickering back and forth is just for show.


Is it ok if I bring Stella?

Who is spun up? I am against LBP, and don't think it will happen.

How do you get " spun up" from supposition?
