Let's Talk about Unemployment!

[jeff f]

Well we know Reganomics doesn't work. You can take that trickle down shit and bury it. It's dead.

We just had a Conservative drive this country into the ground with Conservative policies. We know that shit don't work.

Fact, Federal Taxes are too low. Bush's Conservative attempts failed and need to be eliminated. Clinton had it right. Facts back this up.

a conservative? who the fuck are you talking about? bush? he was about as conservative as my left nut.

o child left behind, stimulus after stimulus, medicare prescription .

my god man, wake up

all you have to do is look at recent govt boondoggles. the stupid volt car, using corn for fuel, the stimulus 1 2 3 and 4, the post office, global warming, and the list goes on.

all done by those "super smart" folks in the capitals.

If you have a problem with the Post Office, you have a problem with the United States Constitution. A Constitutional required government organization that will pick up a letter at a house in California and drop it off at a friend's door in New York for 44 cents, but that just ain't good enough for you huh?

The Volt goes back to 2007. Ignorance is the root of all frustration you know.

Spend now, pay it off later. Simple IMO.

I mean, national debt is obviously becoming an issue - but I'm of the firm opinion that dealing with debt comes second to jobs. More jobs means more revenue, a faster expanding economy, more investor/consumer confidence, etc... All of this makes it easier to pay off the national debt(which really isn't as much of a crisis as the Republicans would have you believe BTW)...

That's not to say I dont think the national debt isn't a problem, either. If I were in power(lol) I'd propose a short term spending package (stimulus) and attach it to cuts set to kick in slowly and at least a decade from now(so stimulus now, along with a package of cuts/taxes set to take effect in 2020). This is an easy sell politically and it really could work... With the U.S. economy moving at full capacity again, a couple trillion in cuts combined with tax reform, ending the Bush tax cuts, etc - the debt problem can be solved without undermining the recovery; Cutting too soon or too harshly has serious potential to derail the already fragile recovery.

I had some graphs to post but they wont fit, does anyone have any fixes to this besides making images smaller in paint and resaving them all blurry-like?

dude, we have been priming the pump since about 2005. when were the first bush stimuli? govt spending on crap, does crap. govt doesnt meet needs in the economy. they create bullshit needs.

come on mame your prescious govt planners are the ones that gave us ethanol. how many trillions did we put down the shitter for that crap? wake up my man.

Then why did you help elect him twice fool?

You can't hide from your mistakes. I am sure someone like me can say, "Told You So"

i am ignorant? obama has been pushing the volt for 2 years. he sold 1500. i think he is the ignorant ass.

 

[UncleBuck]

why would anyone work when they can collect for 99 weeks?

i passed up 4 or 5 months of unemployment to work for as much as i was drawing, to answer your question.

i wouldn't blame the kid for not wanting to work for a grouch like yourself.

i had no idea the president was a car salesman.

yes, we should have voted in the guy who invented the internet and global warming and the idiot who wrote his own purple heart citations. its all my fault cuz i may or may not have voted for bush. good argument....dope.

i had no idea that climate change was a 'government boondoggle'.

and i bet you spent that money that you got back from the stimulus.

You sound like a Parrot Head dude. Get your information from uneducated entertainers much or do you just walk around Wal Mart parking lots and read bumper stickers? You scream it.

It's what makes me laugh at folks like you.

 

[jeff f]

i had no idea the president was a car salesman.

really? maybe you missed him in every speech he has made since he bailed out gm. he has mentioned the volt at least a hundred times. are you gonna continue to play stupid some more or would you like me to post a bazzilion links to his speeches SPECIFICALLY about the volt?

 

[UncleBuck]

yes, we should have voted in the guy who invented the internet and global warming and the idiot who wrote his own purple heart citations. its all my fault cuz i may or may not have voted for bush. good argument....dope.

yes, better to go with the guy who added more trillions of dollars to the debt than all other presidents previously and turned a surplus into a debt, all while assuring thousands of our soldiers perished in a feel good war of 'shock and awe'.

when you put it that way, that guy was very productive. hard at work destroying america. good thing you guys have no problem blaming all his actions on the next guy.

he will often post sarah palin - in a serious context.

sorry jeff, you often come off grouchy here. my bad.

 

[BendBrewer]

Rush Limbaugh, an uneducated entertainer hates the Volt too. Go figure huh?

The only thing Bush did right was the first set of bailouts(TARP). Other than that, he was a complete failure... Are you referring to his two tax cuts (01 & 03) that he called stimuli? Because they weren't. That's not Keynesian stimulus. That is not what I'm advocating for.

 

[BendBrewer]

Remember, Bush cut taxes in 01 because he projected a 5.6 TRILLION dollar SURPLUS!!!!!! Things were going to be so good in this country that the rich deserved some of their money back.

Well, that didn't work at all and the economy went into a tail spin of a recession.

How to fix it if you are a Conservative? Yep, double down and give yet another tax cut in 2003 because things are so bad. Yep.

Amazing that so many people fall for it huh?

Taxes are too low. Conservatives want all the benefits of living in the best country in the world but they'll be damned to pay for any of it.

They haven't cut shit and we are already in double dip territory, there is no recovery.
