eohrn, I've side stepped nothing and your "observations" are obedient not pertinent.
No, you have side stepped a rather significant point. What future would all this federal debt bring?
. . . . Inevitably that bill is going to come due and it will fall onto our children or grand children, who will no doubt curse us for it.
I've clearly stated President Obama made the best choice. the failure of austerity and the flaming hypocrisy of republicans on deficits proves my point.
I understand completely that it's your opinion that "Obama made the best choice". In fact, you've stated that you would have preferred that Obama had spent even more.
It calls to question how much would have been enough? Rather than just doubling the federal debt on his watch, should Obama have tripled it? Would have satisfied you? $30T? in Federal debt?
Why not a four fold increase in the federal debt? $40T in federal debt? Still not enough? How much is enough?
From my perspective, a doubling of the federal debt was already too much. I know you and I differ on that opinion, but I question the wisdom of that spending, and how it puts the US in a more vulnerable fiscal position in the future.
and eorhn, the perfect example of side stepping is you side stepping the point I made in my first post to concerning the flaming hypocrisy of republicans on deficit reduction and their attempts to sabotage the recovery. that's exactly what side stepping looks like.
"exactly what side stepping looks like" Take a look in the mirror.
I've side stepped nothing. What you call "flaming hypocrisy of republicans" for "republicans attempts to undermine the economy" I called
"Would seem to be pretty reasonable to put a curb on boundless runaway spending."
What have I sidestepped?
In the future when you accuse me of something you should realize you already did it. Yep, you side stepped like a professional ballroom dancer and its pretty useless to try to have a reasoned conversation with you.
Your love of ad hominem attacks, which aren't even based in reality, shines through.
How about trying to conduct an adult conversation with out the invectives? Or is that beyond you?
I challenge you to drop the ad hominem attacks and invectives in your posts for the next 24 hours. Think you can do it? I'm betting you can't. Let's find out.
