I know that, most recently considering the pain revealed since Nov 4, 2008.
You can continue your cheerleading for the left, but the fact is the solutions proposed, when the left had total control of government, have profited in nothing. And if you consider the amount of stimulus that has been inserted into the economy, we are probably worse off now that we would have been if there was no stimulus. We would have to have eaten our vegetables back in 2008, but I believe that would have forced us to look at the real problems instead of throwing money that we don't have towards certain sectors of the populace with no real benefit.

You believe in a lot. It is a good thing, since you can't be held accountable for your beliefs.
You shouldn't have to define anyone. Some people are so busy defining people and separating and dividing people that they can't come up with solid economic policy.
Sorry you're having so much trouble. The thread is only 3 pages long, maybe you can read it and catch up.
Deflection. If you're willing to make an argument that increasing revenues have not been coupled with reduced spending, when has decreasing revenues been coupled with reduced spending?

Then you should ask the poster I'd responded to about her quest to define the rich?

In wonder if he can define "Red Herring". He obviously knows how to use one when he is on the losing side of an argument.

Seems valid to me -- this forum isn't exactly the place where everyone is on the same page.
A lot of people make $100k, $500k / year, and they pretend that they are "rich." They are not rich. Moderately successful, high-income Joe Sixpacks on this forum like to pretend that they breathe the same air as the people we're referring to as "rich," who measure their net worth, not their annual incomes.

It's not deflection; that wasn't the point of the thread.

But it was in line with your post in this thread (#21). Inconvenient, perhaps?

The only accountability for your beliefs is that you're called on it in forums like these, and that would be the end of it. I'm sure you're no Ms Cleo.
