Ignorance and lack of education? Do you always talk down to people that disagree with you? You really are blinded by an ideology and if you want to really see or hear ignorance here is an example
Well, you were the one who argued prior year taxes unrelated to any future event were current revenue.
You were the one who argued that any state that has a rainy day fund has has a surplus independent of the amounts within the rainy day fund. Therefore, if a state had a deficit of $10 billion as your state is projected to have, you argued that the $8.2 billion rainy day fund meant the state had a net surplus.
And you confused a projected $10 billion deficit as stated by your own comptroller as a surplus.
So, am I really wrong here?
It does seem you have a distorted view as to the role of Govt. Obviously you prefer to re-write history instead of actually reading and understanding history.
Come again? You mean like how I pointed out Texas has been running deficits without its rainy day fund for years?
Your distortion of the Reagan years is a perfect example but there is an entire tread devoted to refuting your anti Reagan claims and there are non partisan sites such as BEA.gov, BLS.gov, U.S. Treasury which refute your statements.
Care to actually back that statement up?
Apparently you don't find it hypocritical to point out your problems with Reagan and Bush but ignore when Obama implements Reagan and Bush policies.
Care to back that statement up? Or have you ignored my many posts where I criticized Obama for being a Bush clone. See Dav about this. He has taken offense to my many arguments calling Obama a Bush clone.
You know, making stuff up because you're too lazy to get the facts isn't helpful.
Both understood you empower people not the govt. to create jobs.
But Reagan and Bush pushed huge amounts of spending which did cause government contracts to expand private payroll. We have a thriving security industry that lives largely off of government contracts right now. Boeing got to where it is because of government contracts. Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and others are in the same position. Republican presidents aside from Bush Sr. have created huge amounts of private sector jobs through public funding. Obama's doing the virtual same thing. .
Both understand the obligations owed to our military thus the VA funding.
Okay..it's still socialism.
Both understand personal responsibility thus provided tax cuts to allow people to need less govt.
Huh. You mean like tax cuts under Obama too?
Stimulus tax savings analyzed by household - Feb. 21, 2009
LOL. I guess when a Republican pushes a tax cut, it's good, but when a Democrat does it, no credit at all.
I know know a few others who are part of the 6% that believe the stimulus plan actually created jobs.
The work crew down town in my financial district seems to suggest that it did. Did it create many? Probably not. But the notion it created none is highly unrealistic.
