Republicans block Obama jobs bill

NOPE, don't propose ever cutting SS and Medicare as they both are in trouble financially

You just can't make up your mind. First you say you support tax cuts now you say don't.
 
Don't let the massive amount of economists that agree with you pour out all at once or anything.

Why do you put so much faith in economists and none in the actual numbers generated. Think the 25 million plus unemployed and under employed are impressed with the economists opinions?
 
And I would hardly call the Obama stimulus a success with these numbers

Obama economic results in 2011,
.4% GDP and 1.3% GDP growth in 2011(bea.gov)
25+ million unemployed or under employed Americans in 2011(bls.gov)
2.6 million fewer jobs(bls.gov)
4.2 trillion added to the debt in less than 3 years(U.S. Treasury Site)
Downgrade of the U.S. credit rating(S&P)
Rising Misery index 7.83 to 12.97 (The United States Misery Index By Year)
38-41% JAR and well over 50-55% disapproval ratings(Gallup)

My apologies for spamming but HOLY ****ING **** BATMAN.... give it a rest already

You don't even know how to read the numbers! Why would I listen to you? You don't even know how to adjust for inflation, and you want me to take your word for it? Why would I trust a giant group of people who are educated about the economy over six random numbers a guy named "Conservative" found on the Intraweb? I don't know, man, good question. Why don't you think about that for a bit?

Trollers gonna troll.

So tell me where it is in DP rules that posting verifiable data is spamming? Further I understand why liberals like you don't like seeing the numbers. They show just how much Obama has fooled you and you don't seem to have the maturity to accept that reality. The numbers are what they are and regardless of you trying to over analyze them those are the numbers that the American people know are important and why they now know they made a mistake in 2008.

Indeed. After his whole BLS cumulative data fiasco, I'm really not sure why any of you don't consider him a clown. The fact he still doesn't know if the data is cumulative or not merely by looking at it is a sign that no one should be considering Conservative's economic posts as anything but humor.

Conservative has demonstrated time and time again he does not understand even the basics of how to read economic data. He switches from nominal to real to chain without even mentioning why he's doing it. He argued that unemployment was increasing by double digit millions every month. The fact that so many people have pointed out his seriously flawed methodology of understanding data and all he does is lash out at them while never addressing their points is a sign we should basically ignore him as his posts are effectively worthless.

Maybe they should come up with a new rule in your honor.

No offense, but I have run circles around you with those numbers. That's why whenever we start posting other historical data, you just "ctrl + v" that same data over and over. If you had any idea what you were talking about (and I mean any - just a little bit), you would dig deeper into those numbers and then provide some context for them. But you don't know, so you can't.
 
You know there was a political ideology that practiced continued and incessant bombardment of intentionally misleading statements and data. Anyone?

EDIT: to be fair I do not believe that this is intentional on Conservatives part.... just to set the record straight

Inflation, because of over use has negatively affected the lie becoming the truth phenomenon. It now takes ten to the 10th power for the lie to become truth when just a few short years ago it only took ten to third power.

:mrgreen:

Considering how at least two dozen people have pointed out how Conservative simply cannot read data properly and therefore any conclusions based on such data are false yet he refuses to change anything he says, it has become intentional.

I largely have stopped responding to his posts unless there's a truly egregious post.

Damn..... Guess I need to c'n'p more of these.

No.
 
Ya know what lets try to at least partially get this thread back on track.

Can ANYONE point to an example of Republican's making any attempt at compromise with the current administration?

All I can think of is that Gang of Six which quickly got thrown under the Bus by the TP congressmen

In terms of economic matters or matters in general?
 
I typed into Google: republicans willing to compromise with obama. If you click the link, it's all about how democrats (mainly Obama) compromise too much with them. :doh
That is my general impression, but I for one don't think this is a bad thing.... I believe that in our political environment not only is compromise necessary but preferable..... I will say though I feel disappointed at the lack of reciprocity from those on the right and in general feel Obama has given ground far too often. But I will say the current political environment forces him to play political chicken far too often. Many issues that should not be political hot buttons seem to be now.
 
If you endorse a socialist economic plan you are by definition a socialist.

LOL! From someone that considers our forefathers socialists for the last 80 years for supporting Social Security, this really carries a lot of weight!
 
So here is what I don't get: How did this thread get to 27 pages? All that had to be said was "Obama wanted it to happen" "Republicans must stop anything Obama does at all cost."

I got a great idea for Obama. Do everything EXACTLY how a Republican president would want to do it. Just to spite him, these assclowns will do what he actually wants.

Context? 25 million unemployed and under employed Americans? When did Bush ever have that many? 2.6 million fewer employed, when did Bush ever have that? Almost 13 misery index, when did Bush have that? 4.2 trillion added to the debt in 3 years, when did Bush ever have that? 39% JAR? When did Bush have that during his first term?

You want badly to insert inflation into the numbers, well insert inflation into those numbers? Those are the numbers that the American people are looking at and actually feel.

Look, I understand why Obama supporters want to ignore the numbers but they are what they are. Results matter no matter how you spin it

As a conservative I find nothing that Obama has implemented on the economy worthy of support as this country wasn't built on the policies he is implementing. How does anyone compromise with someone whose rhetoric is so damning and divisive? There is nothing in either job's bill worth compromise on as it promotes nothing more than a "sugar high" for the American economy. Once the Federal dollars dry up it becomes the responsibility of the local taxpayers and thus kicking the can down the road

So if the only solution to fix the economy and have good old America back is to go against something in the constitution, you wouldn't be for it?
 
Rule of law. ist' important.
