Obama: No Deal Without Tax Hikes

Not open for further replies.
So how come debt wasn't much of an issue until Reagan fostered in supply-side economics? Seems to me, trickle down is really trickled on.

I guess if you don't have any ambition and you sit around whining about being a ne'er do well you pretty much deserve to get pissed on. smart people try to move upstream. stupid ones sit back and whine that its someone else's fault that they are the pissees
 
That is typical liberal bull**** and not supported by BLS except by your selected charts, not the total employment charts, great spin but a typical lie.
That was directly from the Wall Street Journal, which got the data from the same BLS.gov website I gave you yesterday.

The Wall Street Journal is "typical liberal bull****," is it??

By the way, I thought you said you were done posting to me?

Why can't you quit me, Conservative? :lamo
 
As usual you don't know what you are talking about, pretty easy to analyze take the January numbers when Reagan, Bush, Clinton, GW Bush, and Obama took office and compare them.

It would have been easy if you had actually printed a chart instead of the core dump you did post.

Clinton took office January 1993 and there wre 119.075 million employed people so that is hardly inheriting a recession that ended in March 1991. I just couldn't take the misinformation any more

Unemployment is not how recessions are measured.

I don't give a damn where it was from, BLS is the keeper of employment data, not an op ed piece from any source, left or right. I posted the chart, you ignored it. that is total laziness and will serve you well in the future. Just tired of your misinformation and lies.

I guess if you don't have any work ethic and you sit around whining about being picked on by the middle class you pretty much deserve to get taxed up the wazoo

It would also be easy if you posted accurate information and did better research but that isn't going to happen. The recession Bush 1 had ended in 1991 thus Clinton didn't inherit a recession. He did inherit a growing economy and growing employment, unlike Reagan or GW Bush. Clinton didn't have a job loss in 1993 and his economic policy wasn't even in effect but he did implement such a great one that he lost the Congress in 1994. Stop with the misinformation and go to the non partisan sites like bls.gov, bls.gov, and U.S. Treasury site that posts actual data. That would help your credibility if you care about looking foolish.
 
The government gives corporations a tort-liability shield. This is a special perk given by the government which allows people who hold stock in a company to escape liability they would otherwise have been jointly and severally liable for. Traditionally, partners in a company are always held jointly and severally liable for the torts of their partners, even if they had no involvement in them. This means that their personal assets of the partner who wasn't directly responsible for the tort can still be seized to compensate a victim, up to 100% of the injury. But in a corporation, the government steps in and deprives that victim of their rights to seek compensation from the partners in a corporation. Thus victims of the torts have their rights taken away by the coercive protection arrangement between stockholders and the government.

Next time somebody says that the rich don't get more from the government, just remind them how many law suits those wealthy people have evaded thanks to government-back tort-liability shields. Anybody who has ever owned stock in a corporation has personally had their pocketbooks protected by the government.

Just yesterday, you were agreeing with the Wall Stret Journal chart where it showed 16 million jobs created during the Reagan years.

"Reagan generated 16 million new taxpayers" ~ Conservative

That was before you changed to different data showing 17 million jobs were created during the Reagan years.

What McConnell's bill does is make it so both the house and senate need to vote NOT to increase the debt ceiling if they want to cap debt, but if they don't pass anything, the president can increase the debt himself, and create a committee to review possible savings in the future... That is where it is looking like they're going to end up- doing nothing after having turned down trillions in possible cuts.

no, that was a week ago, mcconnell-reid has moved quite a bit in recent days, now promising 1.5T in hard cuts

Obama meets with Boehner, threatens veto of GOP plan - The Oval: Tracking the Obama presidency

and that's the point---everyday the cuts grow, the tax stalemate remains the same

ie, be patient

bottom line---if mcconnell-reid is what the party in power wants, go for it

it's a stinker, tho---mcconnell-reid isn't even dollar for dollar

remember, the president's top priority is to get this roof hi enough to get him thru next november, he needs 2.4T
 
Taylor, I'm certainly capable of making a mistake. However, if greenspans says he's wrong, are you suggesting he doesn't know?
I don't know if he said all or any of his original statement was wrong, so now I'm not suggesting any such thing. I do know that many grad programs find it difficult to find qualified kids from the US. I do know that the SAT is an easier test than it once was. I know that college professors bitch a lot about how kids today don't do any work.
... and I could go on.
 
I guess if you don't have any ambition and you sit around whining about being a ne'er do well you pretty much deserve to get pissed on. smart people try to move upstream. stupid ones sit back and whine that its someone else's fault that they are the pissees
WTF? Weren't we just talking about the debt? Are you saying lazy poor people are responsible for the debt growing out of control?
