What happened to all of the doom and gloom economic threads?

That's exactly what will be happening.

Show your math.

The Fate of 1/6th of the economy. Ring a bell?

I don't tend to invest in uncertainty, like the upcoming fight this fall over raising the debt ceiling again, or the reelection of Obama, the retaking of the House; the kinds of things any small business owner who grosses a million dollars annually looks at as he contemplates whether he should expand or simply protect that which he still has...

That wasn't precise at all.. indicating once again, that you have no clue what you're talking about.

Show your math.

So no math? 1/6th just sounds like a nice big number so you went with it?

 

[Beco]

Obviously this single anecdotal data point negates the steady stream of economic good news we've had this year. A recession...no, DEPRESSION is right around the corner and it's all the Negro President's fault, right Vetty?

Are you saying its not the Negro's fault?

Lets see, this might even rate its own thread, but let's just mention it here. Obama's "Buffet Rule." He's claiming it will pull in 5 billion in revenue a year...really? Well now, taking him at his word that means that it will take 3000 fucking years to cover his deficit.

I'm fairly certain your math is off.

^^^ Since you're making a math joke and if you weasel a little bit you can make yourself not wrong I'm not gonna point out that most people consider America has having started when the Declaration of Independence was signed. Not twelve years later when the Constitution was ratified.

This time you are correct. The Obama deficit is roughly 5 trillion, so taking down 5 billion a year would work out to a 1000 years before it covered the Obama deficit.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Obama deficiet is not five trillion either. Debt and deficiet are not the same word. We've been over this.

How many times must we go over this? If you make cuts, you reduce the deficit. If you make cuts AND increase taxes, you reduce the deficit quicker. Why is it that the GOP only thinks it should be cuts? I'm a Democrat. I think we should go hog wild on both paths.

wingnuts don't care about the deficit. They only care about making the rich richer, at the expense of everyone else.

The best part, is that wingnuts are almost all poor, or on a fixed income... they pray to their corporate gods, and hope to one day be able to live in their image.

They don't. They want spending cuts along with tax cuts for the rich that will increase the deficit.

They also believe that tax cuts pay for themselves.

The total of his deficits is roughly 5 trillion. (Not that it's even his fault but whatever) that's for all his years combine. Deficiets don't stack, the DEBT stacks.

They do? Who?

The millions and millions of people who celebrate the 4th of July not the 17th of September.

Like I said you aren't wrong per se. It just means the Marines are older than America. Which most people would argue is impossible. We became a nation, in most peoples minds, when we broke ties with England, not when we got our shit together. C'mon you know I'm right and you were pullin 225 from 2000-1775 not from 1788 and 2012 it just so happened you got lucky.

Wow...big surprise:

Another Einsteinputz...

...any bets on if any of his comrades call him out?

Goldbugs beware: Two flawed reasons for investing in Gold

Adrian Frost, the fund manager of Artemis Income summed up his thoughts on gold eloquently, by saying:

“Gold is a club of collective terror where the people who hold it spread doom and gloom – and then invite you to buy the store of value that they own at a higher price than they have paid.

It is an elaborate and enduring spoof, but one that has infinitely attractive characteristics.”

It's the humanitarian in you. The belief that even the most benighted of clueless clowns might be redeemed by Providence.

I cannot believe this guy.


He's fucking insane.



Where am I supposed to put my money? a mattress?

Also he keeps conflating markets with economy.

Yeah, during the Bush years, the wingnuts were focused like a laser on two things, WMDs and the deficits.

As soon as Obama began expanding the deficits, suddenly the wingnuts began DEFENDING them...

You were focused on WMDs and the deficit?

I don't remember that being the case for either.

Come now, the Bush tax cuts were intended to eliminate both.

Given W's handling of everything else, that doesn't surprise me.

Thank you wingnuts...
