You keep blowing for it and keep sucking it deep. Your lung capacity is amazing.
bucs90, I did not pursue either of the posts above because what you think is unimportant. Now the fact is this: thanks for playing. What an appropriate image for you, bucs90.
You may let it go now.
Your inferiority complex is full bloom right now. But it's cool, makes for a fun debate. Please reply back with full force and keep up the fun......but stop sending the PM's all pissed off. It aint that serious!
You keep blowing for it and keep sucking it deep. Your lung capacity is amazing.
And if the government goes bankrupt and can't afford to crutch the citizens on handouts, then the citizens will have to become more self-reliant, responsible, efficient, productive, thrifty, etc. In other words, act like a conservative to survive.
Yep sounds good to me.
You keep blowing for it and keep sucking it deep. Your lung capacity is amazing.The intellectual juice for Reagan's historic tax cuts came from Milton Friedman. He said that if you cut Government revenue, they will spend less. He thought he understood human nature. (This man is responsible for America's post 70s economic policy, so he better be right).
Unfortunately, he was wrong. The government didn't spend less under Reagan -- in fact, with a huge increase in military and law enforcement outlays, spending increased sharply over the Carter years. The consequences of Friedman's miscalculation were debt and deficits as far as the eye could see.
Same thing with investment in education. Friedman said that the government didn't need to invest in education because the market would deliver a utopian trickle of degrees to the middle class. Consequently, after Reagan began America's long divestment from education, the USA went from #1 to #12 amongst the #36 developed nations, and is woefully behind in the global competition for solutions to our largest problems.
Friedman also convinced Reagan that lowering taxes on the wealthy would lead to investment and jobs. It didn't. It went to the purchase of politicians and the Wall Street casino. As a result, middle class spending had to be kept alive on credit, while America's infrastructure and economy died.
Same thing with energy. Carter begged America to move into a less petro-intensive system. He warned that some day the demand for energy would outstrip supply, and your economy would be held hostage by terrorist states. Reagan framed him as a hysterical Lefty, and he crushed the alternative energy movement. He tore down the solar panels on the White House roof, and then he proclaimed that the market would take care of energy. It did the opposite. Big Oil bribed politicians to rig Cafe standards and crush the first big electric car movement. At every juncture, America's politicians expanded oil use. Now you are paying dearly for it.
The market mantra became a catch-all for anything America didn't want to pay for, invest in, or devote resources to.
"Don't worry, the market will take care of it. Let's go to Aspen!"
America tried to have its cake and eat it too. It got seduced by Reagan's voodoo. You believed that you did not have to pay as you go; you believed that you did not have to tend to big problems. You simply channeled all your resources to making a small group of people insanely wealthy -- and now it's time to pay (but you don't have any money, because the wealthy parachuted away with it. Trillions have been stuffed into dynastic coffers or moved off shore. Your great public sector is dead. You are living in a hyper-privatized neoliberal dystopia of concentrated wealth surrounded by rapidly expanding poverty).
You swallowed poison in 1980. The money is gone. The game is over. Nothing left to do but build prisons for all the poverty you created.

Apparently, you are completely blind to the FACTS.....Nothing unusual there!Every bit of evidence, Rab, says you don't know what you are talking about.
The point that the right wingers still aren't getting is that the job creators had the taxcuts and haven't created jobs with them and the reasons rightwingers gave for the job creators not doingtheir job will still exist even if their taxcuts are estended, so the job creators will still feel justified in maintaining the status quo and not creating jobs.
To use your analogy,
It's raining out and the man who is supposed to be working on your leaking roof isn't but he says if you don't fire him for not doing his job with the money you already gave him then he will get to it after you extend his contract and give him more money. The broken leg on the chair is of no real importance because if he won't fix your roof so why even bother to ask him to fix your chair?
You still insist on this meme despite being shown numerous times it is not true.
Tell me, what would persuade you that it is true?
WHERE ARE THE JOBS that resulted from a decade of tax cuts for the 'job-creators' Rabbi?
A Lost Decade for Jobs
Private sector job growth was almost non-existent over the past ten years. Take a look at this horrifying chart:
Between May 1999 and May 2009, employment in the private sector sector only rose by 1.1%, by far the lowest 10-year increase in the post-depression period.
Its impossible to overstate how bad this is. Basically speaking, the private sector job machine has almost completely stalled over the past ten years. Take a look at this chart:
Over the past 10 years, the private sector has generated roughly 1.1 million additional jobs, or about 100K per year. The public sector created about 2.4 million jobs.
But even that gives the private sector too much credit. Remember that the private sector includes health care, social assistance, and education, all areas which receive a lot of government support.

But it won't go bankrupt, the Dems will continue in power until the GOP reforms and becomes answerable to the mainstream, and you will continued to excluded far, far to the right. You fail, bucs. Now the fact is this: thanks for playing. What an appropriate image for you, bucs90.

Really Rabid? You mean that the deficit did not balloon under Reagan?
None of that will result in a GOP House this fall. Americans will not go back to GOP fiscal policies that got us into this mess.

You're like a broken record.
Left wing housing loan policies are the root of this mess. You know it, the left knows it, and I will give you all credit for your unshaken will to deny this fact.
