Is that good enough cud for you to chew on, or do you need something more substantial?

Nah, I wouldn't dare cockblock your mating calls. You're entitled to that, at least.

Some patriot you are. You should be using your SS check for stimulating the bad economy by buying shit you don't really need and hardly will ever use in order to make a point and justify that poor sweatshop orphan's life in Cambodia.

"According to the economists I believe are right".. *laugh*

How are we better off?
Let's see, economy contracting at a rate of -6% vs. one that's expanding at just under 3%. Just for starters..

On a more personal note. Our business has picked up by over 40% in the last 8 months. That business being conventions, which don't happen if the economy were in the dire straights you keep hoping for.

You "evil conservatives" were SO opposed to the Bush Stimulus that it passed the Senate 81-16 and the House 380-34. So now you're trying to tell us that the Congress has a combined count of 50 "conservatives"?

I'm not avoiding anything Cap'n. I've already answered your question but I'll do do again just to humor you.

Krugman is wrong.

So your measure of "good" is pretty much, well, the crash is over and my company is really doing good, so yeah, things could be worse.

We evil conservatives at Lit that you rail against are not "The Congress." Those fuckers got fired for their spending, back when Democrats thought debt was the equivalent of garlic and silver bullets.

So is Krugman just wrong now, or was he wrong before?

With the Dow climbing near 10,000 again what's happened to all of the dire, end of the world ravings of our resident "conservative" economists?

Where is all of this inflation we were warned about? According to reports the Consumer Price Index is down 1.5% overall from last year. Despite Augusts increase in prices, gasoline is still down 30% from the high a year ago.

Despite the dire warnings of some of Lit's resident math wizards the Chinese are still very much interested in buying US Treasury securities.

I guess the sky isn't falling after all.

It's Déjà vu all over again...

Did you understand the deflationary period argument that went before the inflation?

Are the Chinese still willing to buy the debt for the next round of stimulus, or will Obama sit and watch the states start dumping their workforces?

Did you see the AIG testimony? He feels the Federal Government, which was supposed to be limited, acted prematurely and cut us a very bad deal. It's probably the same with GM.

Remember back before he was sworn in, when his economic team was pushing that chart that showed unemployment topping out at eight percent or so if we gave him whatever moneybomb he asked for?

Those days are looooong gone; now, instead of talking about how much higher the unemployment rate is than he thought it’d be, we’re talking about how much higher it could have been without that $787 billion bomb. And the nice thing about that, of course, is that he can slap any horrifying figure he wants on his worst-case scenario to make the current figures look rosy.

For the moment he’s restricting himself to “12 or 13 or 15 percent,” but if he’s staring at a giant Republican wave come October, I bet that estimate will bump up to 20 or 25 percent in no time. Keep moving those goalposts, champ.

Oh, by the way: Not only is it entirely untrue that “every economist who’s looked at it said that the recovery [act] did its job,” but not even every Keynesian who’s looked at said it did its job.

Uncle DumbAss thinks we rejoice when things are bad

we also dont want to be told all is well when obviously they arent and the policies advocated and implemented by obama and his fiends, who NEVER held a job, created a job, managed a payroll etc KILLS jobs!

 

[Frisco_Slug_Esq]

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining!





Stagnation is the new success!

 

[busybody..]

reality is the plan by "obama" clearly has NOT worked

his confiscatory regulations and tax policies are KILLING job creation

Of course it mirrors what you have been thinking, most of what passes for independent thought from you comes from the same source.
