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

Let me see if I have this straight.

The democrats have increased spending dramatically and have incurred huge deficits as a result.

Cause of decline in U.S. financial position

Both economic conditions and policy decisions significantly worsened the debt outlook since 2001, when large surpluses were forecast for the following decade by the CBO. The Pew Center reported in April 2011 the cause of a $12.7 trillion shift in the debt situation, from a 2001 CBO forecast of $2.3 trillion cumulative surplus by 2011 versus the estimated $10.4 trillion public debt in 2011. The major drivers were:

Revenue declines due to two recessions, separate from the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003: 28%
Defense spending increases: 15%
The Bush Tax cuts (EGTRRA-2001 and JGTRRA-2003): 13%
Increases in net interest: 11%
Other non-defense spending: 10%
Other tax cuts: 8%
Obama Stimulus: 6%
Medicare Part D: 2%
Other reasons: 7%[2]

Similar analyses were reported by the New York Times in June 2009,[63] the Washington Post in April 2011[64] and the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in May 2011.[65]

Whose name is on it?


I own a copy of The Brothers Karamazov. I even paid for it. I sure as Hell didn't write it. My name isn't on the cover.


And you suffer from Sour Grapes because he thought of it and you didn't.

Well, if you're going to equate a single thread on a porn message board to the authorship of great fiction, we'll just have to disagree. Threads, imho, are unlike books in that they can, and often are, hijacked by people with an axe to grind.

No sour grapes at all. As an aside, what's with the random capitalization?

UD's been a bit lethargic lately.

He does resemble his Uncle Soros.

Not only did U.S. officials approve, allow and assist in the sale of more than 2,000 guns to the Sinaloa cartel -- the federal government used taxpayer money to buy semi-automatic weapons, sold them to criminals and then watched as the guns disappeared.

For the life of me I can't understand why people like Merc/celbararayray. Smeggie, and LT continue posting here in spite of everyone calling them morons, idiots, stupid, racists, ignorant, etc.(All true).

They thrive on the abuse. Thank you - may I have another?

I think it's because nobody over the age of ten cares about playground insults.

(except you)

I don't think you understand how abuse works. You aren't being abusive if the people you're trying to abuse fail to give a shit about what you're saying.

 

[mercury14]

Incidentally Miles, nobody has ever called me a racist before. Please, let's hear you back up this accusation you're swearing is true. I mean, you're the first one to cry foul whenever a questionable accusation of racism is made, so I'm sure you have some rock-solid proof on hand.

Right???

I'll wait.

 

[RightField]

So, the Bush tax cuts helped the economy grow and boosted revenue and helped us get to 4.6% unemployment (were good) before Obama became president and now they're bad? Mmmm... I wish we were at 4.6% unemployment again, but the liberals will tell you it was only an illusion and that their economic plan is actually much better for us. Yeah, that's the ticket.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Dow surges 2.52%. Where are the chuckleheads with the daily market update?

The market is a meaningless indicator.

We're surprised to find you hanging on its every move.

I don't think either man is the underlying root of the economy...

It's more important to examine who held Congress and then throw some Clinton at them...

They loves Clinton like mama loved choc'lates.

 

[NeverEndingMe]

a. its a lack of tax money
b. we need more spending

If the liberal elites were not all white they would be saying something like,

Whites have unfair advantages in this society.
Whites get better job and educational opportunities.
Whites benefit disproportionately from their self-centered system.

We need a special "White" tax to even the playing field and enable more minority programs...

That YOU defend

That YOU would NEVER EVER defend

If it were a WHITE person doing it

makes YOU a NIGGER DEFENDER

remember, Merc has never had a real job. he is a consumer of tax payer money. there is no difference between Merc (those like him) and welfare abusers

I don't need to get personal to make points.




Ahm a reformed former Democrat.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I'm still at Uncle Jimmy for reneging on that quarter pound he promised us.

I'm not making it personal, just showing the world the type of people we are dealing with.

life would be different if people like:

the obama
Merc
aBadManWannabe
TheTRove

and many others had to get real jobs and had to worry about "Cash Flow"

Trove, you might want to look that up

Ironic that it was, like the proverbial Baker's dozen, a quarter key...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Every reformed doper can do conversions...

1 Key = 2.2 pounds.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I can do all sorts of conversions without looking them up. The formulas went into my head in school and stayed there.
