nah, it's pretty easy to figure out on your own..
Indulge me.
oooooooooo you got me, I wrote some scathing things about Obama... and so I hated Bush.. and? Do you think that's an insult? Well sorry, I don't have a problem admitting it, unlike you, so it's cute watching you try and prove you don't hate Obama.. it's not working because it just seeps out of you, but you can keep trying. I like making you my monkey..
I’ve never had to “prove” I don’t hate Obama. But your post pretty much confirms what I thought and what I told you in my last post: You hated Bush and just cannot, CAN NOT conceive of me not hating Obama. Of course you don’t have a problem admitting your hate, because you’ve expressed it on multiple occasions, but I don’t think you could say the same for me. It’s not personal (how could it be?). But for liberals, the personal is political.
It’s cute that you think I’m your monkey though!
good luck with that... and no, I don't think it will happen at all.. even if the GOP takes the house, the senate and the white house..
Sounds like the basis of another wager, although it just wouldn’t be right until you’ve paid up from the last one.
How’s that coming along by the way?
Oh I know what it means.. and we don't have any 'hyperinflation' so obviously we can print some money and so other things that can prevent the hyperinflation until such a time as we can start cutting..oddly, you so want it to happen though so you can be right... because if it doesn't, and we recover... well Obama was right and you can't stand that.. imagine want your country and countrymen to fail painfully just to prove you ideology.. how do you live with yourself?
Interestingly, that’s exactly how I feel about you guys! How can you put the entire country at risk for your own short term political gain? Fairly easily it seems. I think I’ve already shown I was right about the stimulus, the recovery, and the recession. I predicted back on the muche when we were arguing about the stimulus bill that with it our recovery will be slow and sluggish, just like Japan’s was, and for the same reasons. I’ll be right about Obamacare too, if it stays and doesn’t get repealed.
Just as an aside, here is an interesting article this week by one of my favorite writers:
http://news.investors.com/Article.aspx?id=601602&ibdbot=1with a chart!
I've looked and I can't see where I gave any 'view' whatsoever..
This isn't a view?
Greece doesn't have the ability to monetize their debt, we do.. they have to go thru the ECB, we don't.
our interest rate on 10 year bonds is 1.92 % still historically low..as opposed to Greece's 33.66 %
Greece's debt is 160% of the economy, ours is 75%..
we are a HUGE economy, Greece isn't.. we have a huge earning capacity because of that huge economy, greece? not so much, not to mention we have the dollar, the currency of the world that is managed by a single gov't.. Greece? nope..sot so much
the only comparison is that both went thru a bad time.. we are coming back, slowly... Greece? not so much.
my point, which was lost while you were trying to deflect away from the stupid 'Greece' comparison you made.. was that we are not anything like Greece, and I explained why.. so, to continue to compare us to Greece and their problems doesn't prove you're smart.. it just proves you can mimic Rush and Hannity..
btw, Greece 'austerity' didn't work, it made things worse.. so I guess I can say it wouldn't work here based on them huh..
This must be a new lefty talking point since I’ve encountered it on the other forum too; the idea that “austerity” is some sort of alternate economic theory to… what, opulence? Austerity is what you’re left with when you’ve run out of options. Otherwise, why would anyone choose to give up their retire in their 50’s plans that the Greeks had to put it off for another decade?
The Greeks may think that they got austerity, but the Germans, who are footing the bill don’t. What the Greeks did was too little too late. But Greece is just the early warning sign. It’s not the whole enchilada. Most of the other countries in Europe are under the same stresses and the few that have not were smart and started reforming years ago.
That’s what I would like to do. I would rather be a Germany or Sweden than a Greece or Spain.
You’re choice is clearly Greece and Spain.
I know this.. and Obama knows this.. but we can afford to keep priming the economy now, and when it gets back up off it's feet and employers are spending and consumers are spending, we can then address the long term debt problems... if no one else is spending, the gov't has to.. there is no other option... no other way to keep the country working.. and right now, with the recovery starting to work, spending freezes would kill that recovery and all your horror stories would come true.. again, I know that is what you want so that Obama can look bad and maybe you can get a GOP run country.. but what you refuse to see is that even with a GOP led country, we'd still be spending because it's the only option there is.. you and your party just want to hurt Obama, it's the stated goal..so really any opinions you or they have on this subject is tainted because of that statement.. you damn sure wouldn't be giving this 'smart advice' and 'dire warnings' if it would help him and the economy and we both know it..
You do know that the “recovery” began in the summer of 2009 don’t you? Just a reminder that I was right. Sluggish recovery. So you seem to simultaneously think that the economy is great, but if we don’t keep priming the pump it will collapse… so therefore, the economy isn’t great.
I suppose I’ll have to wait until Obama’s next term to find out what his secret deficit fighting plan is huh?
blah blah blah..
Best reply ever! It’s basically you confirming what I already stated. I have principles, you have a political party.
what will you give me for it?
Nothing of course. I knew you didn’t really have a theory on how Bush caused the recession. I was just smoking you out.
