I did explain it, but you just didn't understand it. Go enroll at your local community college and take econ 101 and it will make sense.

That's because you can't attack my argument and attack me instead. THAT is par for the course for the uneducated. The louder, more personal and more shrill someone makes their argument, the harder it is to defend it. Why don't you try and attack the point I made instead of attacking me and we can maybe have a conversation. But I guess you would prefer to look like clucking chickens instead.

Based on what? I never made that claim. Go find a claim like that I made! You can't. You're just making stuff up to mask your own ignorance on a very basic subject.

What I said was straight out of any undergrad textbook, which I would assume that the people on this thread could understand, but I guess I overestimated my audience, which is why you are attacking me and not my argument. If I posted the alphabet, you'd attack me. I'm long past caring what the bozo's on these political threads think.

The difference is that your ego has no accomplishments to back it up.

So, you lead a group, or what exactly does that mean? Sounds good.

As the old adage goes, those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach work for the justice department. Naw, only kidding. From your responses, it sounds like you have an idea most of the time, we are just on different sides. I think you actually understand the issue.

The issue in this thread is Palin is lying c*nt who thinks she has a pipeline to Jusus' teachings when her apparent lack of compassion and outright lies indicate she has none of the above.

Yet, she promises to cut taxes so people like you love her. Never mind that Greenspan, who I suggest knows more than you, me, and everyone on this board cubed knows, said America will have to go deeper into debt to pay for them. Moreover, despite these phantom tax cuts, Palin is for more govt. invasion into our personal lives, which you have professed to be vehemently against.

Those are the issues in this thread.

Okay fine. I'll adjust my spelling. I guess my positions stand, because all you can do is attack my spelling or me personally.

What I'm more concerned about is a tax increase. I agree that we are spending into oblivion, but if we change our spending habits first, we change the shape of the Laffer curve so that tax cuts may have a revenue increasing effect by more dollars being counted as income. Greenspan would be welcome over Bernanke.

The real world - live in it - they are never going to cut spending no matter what they (all of them) say.

Haven't you figured this out yet?
