Quote from Buchanan's new book

[ElNono]

i suggest you open up a dictionary and look up the word "future."

People already knew Barry was going to win? Do tell.

I didn't know the voting population in general reacted the way as corporate stock holders.

link please.

Links for what? Barry winning the elections and Dems holding the senate?

And Barry has been everything the top 1% have dreamed of. Voted for TARP, kept the tax cuts, kept the dividends tax low. Kept the wars going and those military contracts up and going.

Yep, it all started about 8 months after the 2006 elections.

Boiled down, nothing passes without Bush Jr signing off on it.

Just admit you know jack about economy and we'll be done here.

It's pointless at times, you take a single minded view and ignore other possibilities. It's the "what ifs." Nobody knew then Obama would be president, but "what if" the 110th congress gets it's way?

Do you plan your future when planned agendas are a "what if?"

Let me ask you something. If you found a nice affordable house you simply loved in the suburbs you wanted to buy, and had the resources to do so, what might keep you from doing so? What if the county or city was talking about rezoning to industrial across the street? Not knowing if it would happen, but just knowing there is talk about it, would you still buy the house?

We all like a measure of certainty in our future. Corporations do too. Liberal talk of making their future look bleak, makes for a downturn in the economy. just that simple.

And yet Bush and Clinton gave corporations everything they could ask for regardless of what the effects might be on the world's greatest consumer base, and that turned out like ... so everything we're discussing must be simple.

Right?

Wrong. No way they gave them everything they asked for. Being so dead wrong now, and most other times, how can I even consider any of your words? Do you have any idea how often I flat out ignore people like you and Fuzzy? At least people like ElNono know how to make sense.

I'm talking with a simple minded individual. People that rely on hunches vs more conventional methods (statistics, company balance numbers, economic climate, etc) for their investments are parted ways with their money relatively quickly.

Your contention that people gamble on their money due to some futuristic hunch is re ed on it's face. Heck, with the inflation being what it is, sitting on money is pretty ing unwise.

And lol @ calling anybody simple minded view when you offered just a single reason based on something you can't even back up.

Right.

I don't doubt I'm often wrong, but I'm not the one who has a reputation for being too big a wimp/lazy-ass to EVER do the research to back up my points or EVER concede being mistaken.

-- with all due respect, I have trouble believing you've ever even been in charge of as much money/many people as I have. So prove me wrong, Captain of Industry. I'm not in this for your respect, I'm in this to show you for the unresoning half-ass that you are. But if you're so wise, I'll gladly eat my hat.
