I watched an old school Eddie Murphy movie today and he had a great scene where he covered his ears and said to the effect of "i can't hear you, i'm not listening". It's a beautiful thing as well when it comes to economics. Bury your head and refuse to understand economic reality. It's a great world to live in but one knowledgable people should be very afraid to visit.
 
You are saying you understand economics cawacko ?
If so could you please answer my question from above that no one seems to want to touch ?
 
mr GED you are so far from getting economics its comical.
Tax cuts brought huge increases in tax receipts.
That is a fact
Falling back on a meaningless comparrison is moronic

Umm Bush sold to the masses, the war sold to the masses, etc....
The masses are often not correct.
I care more about being correct than going with the flow.
 
Like I said you were no where near correct.
Facts are facts, often uneducated people like you find some platitude to make you feel good about ignoring them.:clink:
 
yep I heard the facts are facts about the "facts" that many used to justify invading Iraq too....

I may not be as educated as some, but neither am I as stupid as many.
 
Iraq has a lot to do with the economy.
I will certainly be an Edwards supporter should he win the nomination.
Still think he's Mondale like.
 
"Iraq has a lot to do with the economy."

Sure does. Cutting taxes during a time of war is incredibly irresponsible; even some prominent conservatives have said that.

Mondale's a bad comparison. Edwards would have won in '04, imo. He will also do better than Hillary in a national election (yes, she's beating him in primary polls, but in head-to-head matchups with the GOP contenders, he's way ahead of her. She alienates too many people...)
 
Bush's opponents not only dismissed the case for an improved stock market, they projected that the Bush tax cut would actually harm the economy by jacking up long-term interest rates. Democratic Sen. Kent Conrad of North Dakota moaned that the Bush economic plan would "raise interest rates, crowd out private-sector investment, and slow long-term economic growth."

A Boston Cream Pie

Conrad and other critics have been wrong on all counts.
 
In the words of the Wall Street Journal, this is, quote, "the largest two-year increase in tax revenue collections, after adjusting for inflation, that has ever been recorded."

Take 100 americans, the top 3 earners pay as much as the other 97.
For the 50th time, we are not under taxed. We ARE overspending.
 
"In the words of the Wall Street Journal, this is, quote, "the largest two-year increase in tax revenue collections, after adjusting for inflation, that has ever been recorded."

Is that per capita?

If not, someone (a certain Hillary girl) is mathematically challenged...

Man, that's embarassing. You do realize that population increases exponentially every year, correct?

That's like saying "record kindergarten enrollment over the past 2 years!"

What a buffoon. Just like that GDP report you posted the other day that claimed the economy was growing at 4% despite the housing decline, which conveniently didn't cover the period where the decline really started effecting Wall Street, and which in fact warned that this would bring growth back down below 2% in future reports...
 
we'll thousands of bankers have been laid off,
thousands of homeowners will default maybe millions.
If you look at the big picture the story is not the one your telling

I don't think so.

Mondale, I believe, was an anti-death penalty, pro-gun control liberal from the north. And he was running with the albatross of Jimmy Carter hung around his neck. In 1984, people were fairly optimistic about the state of the nation.

That's entirely different from Edwards and the current situation. Edwards is a southern, pro-death penalty, (fairly) pro-second amendment democrat. Running against a corrupt and unpopular GOP. Those may seem trivial, but they keep you in the game in the south and west. I might be wrong, but I don't think returning tax rates on the rich to where they stood in the prosperous 1990s and using that money for education, health care, and infrastructure, is a losing electoral pitch.
