No, just you. Heritage got one fact wrong once in one article out of the hundreds they produce a year and suddenly nothing they write is correct. And that's assuming you are even correct on the one fact.
That makes you an idiot.
They didn't get one fact wrong, they bullshitted the entire thing.
I did the work, I put the data up on a graph. I lined up the tax cuts and increases. So, show the correlation. All I did was try to prove what you said.
I'm not here to make you feel good by agreeing with you. Is that what you looking for, someone to jerk you off?
Don't assume I got the facts right, prove it. Because when you "assume".... (too easy). No really, prove it. I didn't put it there for you, I put it there for me, so that I know that I have it in front of me and I have to see it. That is how I make sure I'm right, I put it out there.
Seeing as I put it out there, don't assume anything, prove it. You said it "assuming you are even correct on the one fact". You won't though. Because what your really doing is mental masturbation. Oh, it feels so good....Look at me, I made a funny picture. Look at me, I'm sure telling those "liberals". jerk jerk jerk....
One article out of a hundred? How do you know that? Have you gone through and verified the accuracy of every one of their articles? No, you haven't, your bullshitting.
What are the odds that I would happen to find the "one in a hundred"? I'm suppose to verify every one? That's my point, it's easier to just bypass them. They are either dependable or they are not. The problem is, they don't link. They make the claims then leave no traceability. It is up to the reader, if they aren't willing to swallow it hook line and sinker, to research it independently. That is not how it works. The responsibility of proof is on the writer, not the reader.
They present themselves as experts. They don't get afforded the excuse of "oops, we made a mistake".
"Oops" is for children. We give children a break. Teenagers get a break. And it's not a hobby. You get to make a mistake when your doing it as a hobby.
It's not rocket science. But it isn't baking a cake either.
Have you worked in manufacturing? Manufacturing of medical equipment? You know what six sigma is? Do you know the level of quality in verification that six sigma means? It's one in a million, not one in a hundred, not one in a thousand.
What if you're doctor "made a mistake"? Your pharmacist? How about the Federal Reserve? Your brain surgeon? What about your auto mechanic? Ever had a wheel fall off your car on the freeway? Would you go back to that mechanic? Of course not. You expect them to pay for the damage, then you would find another mechanic.
The Heritage Foundation does it for a living. They get paid to do it. They are funded. They present themselves as knowing what they are doing. They don't make mistakes.
What world do you live in where you think adult professionals make mistakes?
Fox has a 10% error rate, because that's what their viewers want to hear. NPR is off 2% of the time. People depend on expert knowledge, Fox and NPR don't get to "oops, we made a mistake but we didn't notice so, oh well." That's just fine if their viewers want to pay them for making mistakes. But I don't, so I don't use Fox, NPR, or the Heritage Foundation as a reference because they make "mistakes". "Yeah, judge, it was a mistake. Oops, I didn't mean to run over that kid. It was a mistake."
What is the difference between the BEA, BLS, and the Heritage Foundation? The BEA and BLS publish everything they can. They publish their methods. They publish their data. Every methodology has been carefully studied and peer reviewed. They publish press releases when they find an error.
Wikipedia is a hobby for the writers. Every link is verifiable. They hash and rehash it. They go over every comment. Crap, Wikipedia has fewer errors then the published encyclopedias.
The Heritage Foundation peer reviews nothing. None of it is accepted practice. They don't link. They hide their mistakes. They do it on purpose. They are not stupid. And if they are, they shouldn't be doing it.
Why should anyone give the Heritage Foundation, and you for that matter, a break of "making a mistake"? As I've seen, your the first one to revert to saying "Liberal", "Moron". I've read your comments. You don't "give people a break" when they don't agree with you. Apparently, you can dish it out but you can't take it.
If the Heritage Foundation doesn't know, they don't know. But they don't get to present "dynamic analysis", claiming that the debt will be paid off in 2010 and then, "Oh well, we made a mistake". It is unadulterated guessing passed of as expertise. It's not like they are under some time pressure to get an article out by the evening. I don't have time to fact check every one of there articles.
After a while, it becomes clear who is finding what they want to see and who is seeing what they find. It becomes clear who is making statements without presenting anything verifiable because they are hiding their mistakes. The difference is that when people hide their mistakes from others, you can bet they are in the habit of hiding them from themselves. After a while, they start to believe their own bs.
It becomes clear who falls to ad hominum attacks, like "liberal", "Nazi", etc. When your information is weak, you don't put it out there, instead, you make some unqualified statement as fact then when someone doesn't agree, you fall to name calling.
Grow up dude. Stop wining about "Oh, you don't believe me so your a moron...." Clown hair on Obama? What, are you in Jr. High? "Oh look how clever I am." I'm so clever..."yo, mama is so fat...."
I've read the comments and the "vindication of supply side" has been hammered at every turn. Oh, Bush Tax cuts don't work, try Ireland, try China, try Clinton. "You say they don't, well prove that tax cuts increase GDP." It was right or wrong at the start.
Like someone said, it's just not that simple. So far, it don't matter much.
Yeah, I'm a moron. At least I back it up. Your either too lazy to even try or you just expect others to swallow it so you can feel so smart. Oh thank you for gracing us all with your presence and magnificence. What would we ever do, us uneducated bozos? And to think some people wasted all the education on an economics degree and taking a course in econometric. Why, they could have just asked you.
Why should anyone believe you? BECAUSE YOU TYPE IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND CALL PEOPLE LIBERALS WHEN THEY DON'T BUY YOUR BS?
No, really, what good are you? Someone that can Photoshop?
Oh, I get it. When you do it, you have a good reason. When someone else does it, it hurt's your feelings.
See, the problem your having is that the sword cuts both ways. You just don't like that your held to the same standards that you expect of everyone else. Your right, but they are liberals. Your right, but they don't get it.
But you won't get it.
