No, you don't understand the broken window fallacy at all....Either that or you just don't give a shit.Bullshit.
There's no damage to me by pulling a tick off of my neck.
Mmm-hmm.
Now I know I might not be as brilliant and enlightened as you, but I'll try to explain this to you in the small words that I know.
When someone has a job, they are employed, even if they work for the government.
When you then take away that job, they become unemployed.
When you take employed people and make them unemployed, unemployment goes up.
Unemployment going up is bad for the economy.
I don't think you're stupid Oddball, but your judgment is so clouded by right wing dogma that you can only address what you think should be, and you are incapable to the nth degree of acknowledging and addressing what is.
I'm betting it's the latter.
Nah. No amount of snark is going to make you any less wrong.
If the government is to be shrunk it will have to be done slooooowly. You don't pull the rug out from under an economy completely dependent on deficit spending. I'm not discussing how we got here or whether or not we should be here at this point - But we are here, and you need to acknowledge that.
