Okay, why do liberals want a fascist country where they decide who lives or dies? That is an aim of eugenics, is it not?
People, including some Dems, are waking to the fact that Hussein wants the biggest power grab in History, but he is doomed to fail.
The big problem is the heavy hitters lining up to take us on- China, Russia, even Mexico would take advantage of the internal strife we will experience.
Better get some guns- they will be worth more than gold.

Bernie Sanders is just the only man with huevos enough to openly admit he is socialist- there are cowards in the WH.

Stimulus spending did NOT dig us out of Depression 1.0- Why would ANY educated man think that it would be different?
Oh, that’s right, he went to an Ivy League school that doesn’t require the study of history in order to graduate- because knowing the history of a situation might just make a difference in your decisions- you could end up looking rational, and liberals can’t STAND that, can they?

Yes, but he doesn’t personally gather intel, nor does he personally stop dishonest liberals from loosening regs to cause this financial crisis.
I know you love and admire Bush, but Darrel- he cannot do all things at once- other people also have to stand up and act like decent human beings. Unfortunately, many of the liberal left have been acting the fool, and now it shows,

Bigd: “But it is not obvious that it would go higher without?”>>

DAR
Notice how you changed from “could” to “would.” There is a difference.

You had said: ““Why not say that it could go higher…”

And I said, no need to, it really (x3) obvious. Of course it *could* go higher. Such estimates are… “subject to substantial margins of error” as the report says.

Now you say: “But it is not obvious that it would go higher without?”

DAR
No, that’s not obvious.

Bigd: “It is really, really, really obvious to those of us who pay attention that the stimulus was unnecessary.”>>

DAR
Again, I’ll have to pull rank and point out that neither one of us are economists or experts on this. Stimulus spending in an effort to dig out of Great Depression 2.0 is not a specialty of mine (or of very many). So I appeal to the great preponderance economists who do study this, and I hope for the best. And they say:

“Economists Agree Time Is of the Essence for Stimulus”

While economists remain divided on the role of government generally, an overwhelming number from both parties are saying that a government stimulus package — even a flawed one — is urgently needed to help prevent a steeper slide in the economy.”

But it is not obvious that it would go higher without? It makes no sense to point out one and not the other unless the intent was to deceive.

It is really, really, really obvious to those of us who pay attention that the stimulus was unnecessary. And that they did not know what they were doing.

Bigd: “Why not say that it could go higher even with the stimulus?”>>

DAR
Because it’s really, really, really obvious.

No, I am a capitalist and will admit it.
I would never label myself a socialist so when you impose that label upon me, you are just name calling.

The substantial error was in electing a socialist POS like Hussein- but i’m sure I do not mean that in a bad way, right?
Truth- a subject matter you dance around, Darrel, is that this financial crisis was of the Dems own doing- Bush warned of it and wanted more regs in both 2001, and 2004, but was rebuffed by Frank, first the ranking Dem on the Finance Committee, later the Dem leader for said committee- also by Dodd, Frank’s counterpart in the Senate.
John McCain, for all his faults, also warned of it in 2004.
Where they went wrong was in not being louder about who was truly responsible- they allowed the ems to shape the blame- but that, as we all know, is much different than who was truly responsible.

You know the Dems like Frank and Dodd are the problem when even Bill Clinton admits that the Dems are at fault, which he did in an interview in 2008, which you can see on youtube anytime you wish to see the truth.
