Letters To Ed :-)

See, normanlake, jaxspp read the article.

You, normy, are about as relevant to discussion as cheese is to the moon.

And now, an intelligent word from Michele Bachmann..................................

"Free"man, I have plenty of evidence to support what I say here.....wait for it....HISTORY (101).

Yes, Amos they know what to do...protect the elites as they always do. Vague rhetoric like cutting spending(while protecting their own pork, and allowing huge tax breaks to BigOil, Big Ag, etc.) They promote'smaller Government', while attacking voting rolls, and invading womens bodies thru legislation designed to narrow acceptible behavior. Promote WAR by sabre rattling while fooling us into believing in 'intelligence' that indicates WMD plans by the Muslim hordes.

Speaking of time; science was wrong again. Earth is not 13.7 billion years old after all, it's 13.8 billion years old which would make Jesus' dad so old that even the 3.2 million year old Australopithicus Afarensis 'Lucy' wouldn't date Him much less a 2,000 year old woman named Mary. (I don't know if the capital H for Him is reserved just for jesus or includes His dad :))

Politics is clashing with reality in the information age and the "stupid party" doesn't know what to do now so they are in the circular firing squad position again. Life is good:)

As a "severe conservative" I paid cash for my last two homes and and most if not all of my cars and trucks. As a liberal I don't care if the gays get married and I don't need no stinkin 30 round clip. Three rounds for shooting ducks but 30 rounds for shooting first graders is empirical evidence that something is amiss.

Time (timing) is a varible that people like to leave out of their equations to support their position. With inflation exceeding intrest rates It's TIME I become less severly conservative.

Free, you are being childish about infrastructure, Since you are in a research mood, look up the return on investment when the government spends $1 on a road. Besides which, the savings to Americans on not having tires, shocks, etc wear out because of crappy roads. It's the big picture, something conservatives never, ever get.

Read the article, obviously running huge deficits is much better than Clinton's surpluses. He doesn't define household debt, the weird thing is when people buy houses and cars their debt does go up. It's called consumer confidence. But we can continue to give tax cuts to the likes of Mitt Romney, who then sends the money overseas. That's working just fine. The tax code used to be structured so the wealthy would lower their taxes by investing in America, now they no longer need to, we've handed them an already low rate.

Sticks and stones there third grader (rshRill)...You will need a more adult way of expressing your vehement venality. NOthing you say here will make one difference in my life, and your continuing ignorance is WELL documented. I have said it before, you need to grow up, become an adult.

And when I talk about stratospheric stupid, I mean terminal stupid, malignant, intractable stupid. Stupid that won't rub off, wash off, or scale off. Stupid that lives in an impenetrable, impregnable, castle of duncedom.

I'm talking Normstupid.

Does WAR factor into your narrow view of economic disaster?

Which WAR has been worse for America? Which WAR cost most American lives? Which WAR was initiated by the Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld gang? Of course, both, and both.

Dense understanding on the part of "free"man...the economy of the last 30 years, which you purport to understand have been disastrous for the middle class! If YOU do not understand, and I tell you where to find information, the onus is on YOU. Responding to YOUR narrow view on the issue is like answering the leading question "have you stopped beating your wife?"

The economic crash of 2007/8 has root causes in both houses, right and left.

Sound money at the federal level, the ease of credit requirements in the private sector and the foolish risks of the financial sector caused the problems we face now.

Our friend did not read the article I cited, he just saw a "dis" on Clinton in the title and left it at that. Some people don't want to understand, they just want to convince or sway others to their point of view. I make statements to "germinate" conversation and discussion. Normy just whips out retread talking points and thinks he's the new Ed Schulz.

normy just cannot support his positions. There, simply, is no scenario in which the U.S. comes out of this debt debacle without mucho pain. Not while the federal government seems to be, almost intentionally, trying to hamper a grass roots recovery.

Thanks Freeman. I sometimes grow weary of levels of stupidity that reach the stratosphere. Don't be such a stranger.

Maybe Jaxspp will volunteer to teach you about sources normanlake.

Does "credibility" lend itself to your liberal friend's disregard for the law requiring a budget?

,,, forgive me if I don't hold my breath,,,

Let's see, "right wing hack economists". OK, read the article and point out what you think is erroneous and tell my why.

I'd like that "information".
