Good News! It's Krugman Monday!

Again, the nastiness you are 'detecting' is coming from you (and Desh). Trying to project that onto me is your attempt at diversion. Not mine.

If you want the board to be more pleasant, clean up your own house before dictating to others how they should clean theirs.

Oh gosh, I have better things to do than obsess over the board being pleasant, unpleasant, or a mixture. I can always find my own pleasant experience on here.

There is no way to "detect" nastiness coming from Desh in the post you made. That's all your words. Your words are nasty. As long as they are nasty, and we are on a public board, I will comment on them. And that is how it's going to be. If you don't like it, borrow some of Billy's ointment - he just got in a new shipment! New and improved straight from a cutting-edge laboratory! According to the infomercial. He posted about it last week.

No no no, your words themselves are nasty. This has nothing to do with whatever you feel.

You are an idiot Desh. You have no clue what you are talking about. Go play in traffic while the adults discuss.

See, those are nasty words. That's a nasty sentiment. Now perhaps you were feeling happy as all hell when you wrote those words (though if that is the case, that is a whole other issue), but the words themselves? Undeniably nasty. Sorry.

LMAO... and Desh has been nothing but polite. Right Darla?

Desh IS an idiot. But because she is on your side of the aisle you pretend otherwise. She is a complete partisan hack. If you feel she has been civil on this thread, say so... and I will apologize. Just tell the board that you think Desh has been civil.

You get what you give SF. I certainly would not be civil to you if you were calling me those names. In fact, whenever you do talk to me like that, and you do talk to me like that often, I do not respond civilly either. Not all women respond like dogs to abusive behavior. You should get out more!

why why why is it so many embrace historically failed ideas?


I just dont understand how levels of stupid grow so large.

then why did the republicans SCREAM for austerity for the last few years?


Because they will support OUT RIGHT STUPID for a power grab

becuase in right world of whining becuase you have been proven wrong about everything a guy has to do something.

Lies are the only thing the right has left

I think this country is learning to not hire the baby sitter who says all kids are evil and need to be killed.


When you profess to hate something why would anyone want you to run it?

why does yours fail everywhere it brings the stupid ideas to the forefront?

austerity has never worked in practice like you claim it will.

You have been proven wrong so many times you have NO credibility left super duper

His lies are of far more concern to me than his stupid attitude.

he can cop all the tude he wants.

He will stop lying without having his lies challenged.

So when I give Desh what she first gave out... that is not ok. But if I give it first, then I should expect it in return?

The bolded above is precisely what I mean. You proclaim you are simply horrified by my nastiness, yet you continually make comments like the above. You are a vile person and thus feel the need to paint everyone else as such.

LOL... the only one lying on this board is you desh... you do it consistently, you make accusations with nothing to back them up. Why is that Desh? Why do you continue to hide behind the lies and failed policies of your democrat masters?

BTW, for the record, these claims are being made by Superfreak over and over. I never called Soc a rape apologist. Here are the two threads in question:

Toms original and infamous Rape thread: http://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...-They-are-not-the-same.&p=1066426#post1066426

Soc's anti-feminist rant thread: http://www.justplainpolitics.com/sh...trait-of-a-Modern-Feminist-Helen-Smith/page20

So, that's actually false. Or in other words, you know, it's a lie. It's a lie to distract from the fact that anytime I caled anyone a rape apologist, they earned it. Some even engage in rape apologia, or to be more clear, rape culture, without realizing it. And I will discuss the issue, as you can see in those two threads I did. I consider it very important to do so. Name it, change it, and all that.

But no, I never called Soc a rape apologist, and if you want to say that again SF, make sure you have the post to back that up hon.

LOL... did you call Winter a rape apologist Darla?

You have used the term so often it is hard to keep track of who all you have accused. That said, it is funny that you seem to want us all to believe that the only place it may have occurred is on those two threads. I am sure you will let us know who all engages in rape apologia without realizing it. We all want to know.

I will look for it when I have the time... quick check... was it misogynistic that you called Soc? Your hateful rhetoric comes so frequently I may have confused it for the rape apologist phrase you love tossing around.

You're extremely arrogant and out of touch, really to the point of being buffoonish. You also post in an extremely nasty way whenever you are challenged.

56 days into the new year and we have the most ironic post of 2013.

Since you know so much and are so good with predictions... what will happen with the economy the rest of the year?

 

[Airstrip One]

There will probably not ever be a more ironic post, ever. Dixie could potentially break it, but even that's doubtful. Watermark could also, but it wouldn't be fair because he'd be trying.

Pretty much the same as the last year. Very lacklusture and not enough job growth to keep up with demand.
Same for the next 5 years.
If we do not change paths it will be this way for decades.

ok... I agree with the above. Now what do you think we should change to make it better? How do we grow jobs?

 

[Cancel 2016.2]

Apparently now that Darla realizes that I was simply returning some of Desh's hostility to her, she has run to hide her embarrassment. One day perhaps Darla will release all of that inner hostility and hate and become a better person. Until then I suppose we will simply be subjected to more of her unwarranted hostility.

By experience some pain in the meantime.
Tax disincentives to offshoring jobs is the first step. Without more job growth in jobs not in reatail and fast food, etc is things will not be better in the longterm.

Get a handle on govt spending.
Cut military spending by 5% per year for 4 years. And not cutting projected increases but spending from now.
Empahsize and support good vocational education.
Cut the number of lawyers graduated
Give tax incentives for expanding jobs here in the USA.

A pure flat tax on ALL personal income would also be a good thing.
NO deductions.

and yes as I said things will get worse in some areas for a while, but there is no easy or painless way out.
Inflation will rise for a while for instance.
The MIC related industries will lose jobs and money for another case.

Raising costs of labor simply makes things more expensive. It doesn't help create jobs here. What it would do is encourage companies to domicile in other countries.

Agree with the first, the second doesn't go far enough in my opinion, but I realize you may simply be going for something attainable from the idiots in DC.

Empahsize and support good vocational education.

Very valid point.

Cut the number of lawyers graduated

How about we just cut all lawyers?

Give tax incentives for expanding jobs here in the USA.

You want to incentive here, cut the corporate tax code and incorporate the flat tax (as you mention below) on all income sources. The corporate tax is regressive.

A pure flat tax on ALL personal income would also be a good thing.
NO deductions.

No deductions other than a high standard deduction. You have to protect the low income (and lower middle income) families to a degree.

and yes as I said things will get worse in some areas for a while, but there is no easy or painless way out.

True, which is precisely what I have been saying. We have to take some of the pain now, otherwise the pain will simply continue to grow until it explodes in our faces.

ON this point of yours "Raising costs of labor simply makes things more expensive. It doesn't help create jobs here. What it would do is encourage companies to domicile in other countries."

this is the inflation I spoke of.
The USA is a large enough market that we would not have to worry much about industries leaving.
Did they Leave the EU countries?



And yes I support a flat corporate tax as well, similar to Australia's, they seem to be doing fine with it.

Apology for making that false claim accepted. Thank you.
