Color? Color? Please, explain this in further detail.
nah, it's pretty easy to figure out on your own..
I don’t hate Obama. I never have. You can’t say the same. You wrote some vile things about him a few years ago. He seems like a likable guy and I’d like to have a beer with him, but that doesn’t mean I approve of his policies. I think he is wrong on most things, but because you have to hate what you disagree with, you can’t comprehend that. You assume I hate Obama because you hated Bush so much. But don’t assume that we’re two sides of the same coin. We’re not. We’re not alike at all, but you keep assuming we are, so you can’t imagine someone being in political opposition to Obama and his policies without visceral hatred being attached.
Luckily, I’m not you. I wouldn’t want to live that way.
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 think it’s a good possibility that the Senate will go 60 seats for Republicans; particularly if a Republican wins the White House. If that doesn’t happen then it won’t matter much since even a bill to repeal Obamacare that landed on Obama’s desk will be vetoed immediately. So yes, I think a Republican House and a Republican Senate would make as one its first orders of business to repeal Obamacare. Now, if you don’t think that will happen even if Republicans take the White House and the Senate, than you’ve got nothing to worry about.
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..
Not just sound smart... I'm the real deal!
Do you understand what to “monetize their debt” actually means? Is that what you view as an advantage to dealing with the economy? That’s allowing you to print lots of money and hyperinflate your currency to bring down the value of your debt. That’s a bad option, although for Greece it would probably be a better bad option than their other bad options.
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?
But they will eventually do that when they leave the Euro and go back to the drachma.
So is that how you view how our debt crisis should be handled? Do you remember what inflation was like?
I've looked and I can't see where I gave any 'view' whatsoever.. 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..
Anyway I’ve explained how I view our economic situation before and since you never understood it before, I’ll spare you a repeat (although maybe I’ll turn it into a blog…) and it’s probably a safe bet that you’ve never read any of the other posts I’ve written on the subject, but long story short, our long term debt situation is unsustainable, and it’s an economic truism that whatever can’t go on, won’t. And it will probably be quick, just like the financial crisis.
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..
However I don’t think it will happen while we are still the world’s reserve currency. When we aren’t, well there’s your sign. But by then, it will be too late to do anything about it.
Well it’s true that my principles are set in stone. One of the amusing things about Democratic governance is that I’ve been able to see that your principles are not. I didn’t realize that until the dems came to power. They bob and weave to political convenience.
blah blah blah..
But I’m very curious about your theory that Bush caused our recession (and I suppose by extension the financial crisis). I’m interested in your economic theory of Bush-o-nomics. Please elaborate!
what will you give me for it?
