He's a Republican who smoked a J once.
I think he also stated a flat "no" when asked openly if the US government should be able to assassinate American citizens. But apart from that? Yeah... pretty much what you said.
Oh noes! The little forum pissant doesn't like me! Woe is me!Your responses = . If the kind people at Spurstalk hadn't provided you with smilies/emoticons, most times, you wouldn't have a rebuttal. You are the shining example of your party CC
What legislation passed by the democratic congress in 2007 and 2008 and signed by Bush killed all those jobs?
Its not that I dont like you. Its just (1) that I call 'em like I see 'em, (2) I'm not here to make friends, and (3) I see em like this: Your wreak of dishonesty.
Now, if you hold grudges because I consistently call you out on your third-grade approach to debate (smilies are the lifeblood of your strategy from what I can see...) and your constant rehash of repug propoganda, well then as Flavor would say: "I can't do nuthin for you man."
Sorry, Boutons Lite, butand
are about all your posts deserve. Calling me out? Ha. In your wet dreams.
who you crackas talkin about?
The thread where we discussed how Obama claims the right to assassinate American citizens without due process.
It was more the fear itself, people of wealth knowing that the liberals are coming after their money for revenues.
Isn't that enough fear to shelter and stop investing in business, until all the ramifications of a new congress are know, and CPA's and lawyers can come of with a game-plan to maintain best profits?
Maybe there's a much simpler explanation, like the economy tanking after the real estate bubble popped in 2006-2007?
I don't think so. That's a pretty small part of the economy that had ignorant investors in. Besides, that was mostly investment of a personal scale, not jobs or taxes... fear of new taxes...
I think you're underestimating the size of the market, as well as the amount of banks that used CDS and then swapped those. And CDS's were anything but "personal scale" investments.
the housing bubble can be what started this off. I think the fact that it was near elections, and became so polarizing is what made it so bad. But why is it taking so long to come back?
Its not ill informed on WC's part. Its an outright misrepresentation. He knows better.
Do your homework...its not hard to find the answer to this question. As a matter of fact...if you read some of the longer articles that have been posted here, you'll get some great insight into this very issue.
really parker? You mean I can be as knowledgeable as you?
How were the liberals going to come after the money of "people of wealth" without a presidential veto proof 2/3rds majority in both houses of Congress?
Are you suggesting "people of wealth" thought President Bush was going to help raise taxes on them by signing democratic legislation into law?
Instead of always posting lengthy articles/videos that about how things are and telling us we're uneducated/traitorous for not devoting our time to your posts why don't you just take the time to post what you think should be done now. Seriously, just go issue by issue and tell us what King Parker2112 would do to make this a country you would be happy with.
You can damn sure question the storyline thats coming out of your damn boob-tube on the fox network. That would make for a good start. You might not even agree with me when you got done, but at least you could claim you were educated on the issues. Thats what responsible citenship is all about. Dont let someone hand you viewpoints that promote the means to achieving their own best interests...make up your own damn mind. Dont buy into the BS from any source...cuz they all got it.
And no, I dont claim to be the smartest on here, but I cant stand you guys that spout the company line 24-7. I hate sheep of any color.
Dismantle the fed reserve. stop borrowing to pay for big govt. gut unnecessary social services and welfare programs. gut the war effort completely. Bring the boys home. Make sure they are taken care of. Protect our country at the borders, and through diplomacy abroad and strong economy at home. stop getting wrapped up in foriegn messes. diversify our energy economy asap...which might take some govt intervention. Set up term limits to minimze the risk that our govt continues propelling us down the path to . legalize dope and tax the out of it. make it easier for third parties to enter races and debates. cap campaign contributions severely and make campaigns publicly financed for the most part. elect ron paul as prez.
As for the economy, im no economist. although i do have a new book on economics Ill try and tackle in the coming week or so. Ive seen tons more understanding on this board already than I will have by next year.
But even though Im not sure what the best way to stimulate the economy is, I know trickle down sux dix, and I am so pessimistic about our future with big gov and big corps printing our currency like there is no tomorrow Im not so sure that we need stimulation, but rather a little bit of belt tightening. which is what people/corps are doing.
As for Wild Cobra's take, that a democratic white house led corps to shut down capital expenditures, I can see that.
If WC would have said that, I would have given him credit for a plausible argument. But the typical partisan "blame every damn thing on obama" crap is just not worth a . The partisan bellyaching draws my ire every time. because our country needs informed debate at a time like this. We dont have to agree, but if we are to forge ahead in our country's best interests, we all have to begin acting with those interests in mind.
As for me...Im taking up economics.
Thanks for asking snake. I never mind the soap box approach
Those long videos/articles are critical to learning and understanding the world around you. this is why our voters fail. they dont know history. they dont know economics. they dont know anything about public policy. they dont understand the issues. they only know what they are told on the talk box.
Im no expert, but i believe in learning about things from different angles to prevent being taken in by politicians, and I believe in questioning the party line at all times. from both sides. And when something smacks of truth, i buy.
those videos are there to pick through, to inform yourself, and to learn the dynamics of issues for yourself, BEFORE some commentator/politician begins to tell you what is best FROM HIS PERSPECTIVE.
The ability to learn is critical. the patience and focus that it takes to study issues is rare in a world chocked full of ADD'ers and folks that need constant stimulus, and thus cant sit with a book longer than the introduction. youngsters that are used to plugging into stimulation all day cant usually slow down to teach themselves useful info about their own community or country. and the humility to admit you or your affiliated party was wrong is even more rare
Like every bank and investment firm in the nation?
Are you serious?
Much like the tech bubble, it completely diluted investment capital when it popped, which is what makes the economy tick in this country.
are you talking about the surplus that bush spent?
