Blaming Bush for the Economy Finally Over

[heironymouspasparagus]

Conan,
You really don't understand the ongoing Baby Bush tax cuts are what started this whole avalanche??  (Without the accompanying elimination of those breaks as the economy got better in the early 2000's.)

Really???

Knock off the "Baby Bush" crap.  You sound like a complete libtard.

FWIW, we are talking about the economy in this thread, not deficit spending, nor the national debt which would be a proper reference for the Bush tax cuts.

[heironymouspasparagus]

And yet, you didn't answer the question...

Ok...that leads to the next question...do you really think the economy is disconnected from deficit spending or the national debt or the Bush tax cuts?

The economy is in very good shape.  If you are one of the rich.  And for many others in that top 5% of income bracket.  Good to be blessed, isn't it?

What the economy has evolved to over the last 3 decades, and in particular since 2001, is socialism for the very rich and rugged free market individualism for everybody else.  

And since the richest 1 or 2% or so control well over 50% of the wealth here, I guess that actually does make us the largest socialist economy the world has ever seen.

Enough "economy thread" for ya'?

As far as Baby Bush...well if he had reformed his drunken ways and wasn't mauling German Chancellors in public or any of the other ignorant baby stuff he did, then maybe he would graduate to just plain old grown up Stupid Bush.  Don't see it happening, though...


Chastisement about Baby Bush; the "tragically hip" dysplasia of the NeoConTard.  You wouldn't be channeling guido, would you?

It cheapens your argument and makes you look like another Huff-Po or Dailykos parrot ergo- libtard follower.  It also demeans the office of President.  President Obama is not one of our better leaders and there's all sorts of epithets I could hurl his way or former President Carter, yet I almost always refer to him as "President Obama" not "Curious George", not "the bumbling idiot in the White House". I was brought up better than that by a very patriotic father who insisted people be addressed by proper title regardless of what I thought of them personally.

Would you take me serious if every time I brought something up about President Obama I referred to him with a common epithet?

"For eight years, Bush spent like a drunk monkey. "

"So, let Hu Jintao and King Abdullah stick a collection agency on Cantor and the other Republican shirkers. Repossess their limousines or send The Boys around to remind Cantor what happens when you don't pay what you owe."
  "The president should say to Hu, the Sheik and Goldman-Sachs:
    "I have identified $3 trillion in Treasury notes issued between 2001 and 2008 which were lent to fund        President Bush's expenditures. Unfortunately, those who borrowed your money don't want to pay it back. You made a bad investment - but that's how the free market works. Therefore, I am suspending payments on these Treasury notes until we can round up the deadbeats and make them live up to their commitments.

"As president, I have the constitutional duty to pay the bills of the Veterans Administration, the Social Security fund, and other vital services already voted and appropriated by Congress. Military pay before banker pay. Get used to it."

"Default lies with the Republican spendthrifts, Mr. President. So, I suggest you issue an executive order creating a new wing at Guantanamo: a debtors' prison for trillion-dollar deadbeats."


Greg Palast rocks....

Add a crack pipe and trillions more. . .and here we are in just 2.5 years!

I take everything you say seriously.  Wouldn't make any difference to me what reference you use for Obama.  There are plenty used around here for him and Bush and Billy Bob (my own Clinton favorite).  Don't always agree with what you say, but do respect your thoughts and always pay attention to them.  Just like I do with Gaspar.  (You would likely be surprised on how many things we agree completely.)

Not as much guido, who, whilst having his occasional lucid moment, is so over the top and often delusional.  And never addresses a question directly or any other way.  (His 'nouveau riche'-ness is just getting in the way entirely too much.)

As far as President, nothing I can say or do cheapens the office.  It is the man occupying it that does that.  And we have had an amazing array of Presidents that do exactly that for many decades.  And Baby Bush is the leader of the pack.  Billy Bob certainly has to be second.  Perhaps tied with Tricky Dick.  (Caution; Breadhead may take some vicarious pleasure here and make one of his sexual advances.)

LOL!  The CEO of Home Depot's comments on the president yesterday:

"His speeches are wonderful. His output is absolutely, incredibly bad. As he speaks about cutting out regulations, they are now producing thousands of pages of new ones. With just ObamaCare by itself, you have a 2,000 page bill that's probably going to end up being 150,000 pages of regulations."

"I'm not sure Obama would understand anything that I'd say, because he's never really worked a day outside the political or legal area. He doesn't know how to make a payroll, he doesn't understand the problems businesses face. I would try to explain that the plight of the businessman is very reactive to Washington. As Washington piles on regulations and mandates, the impact is tremendous. I don't think he's a bad guy. I just think he has no knowledge of this."

Interviewer: Why don't more businesses speak out?

"They are frightened to death — frightened that they will have the IRS or SEC on them. In my 50 years in business, I have never seen executives of major companies who were more intimidated by an administration."

LOL! 

Do you really?

Definitely one to send to YOU wingnuts!

Avoid the rush, send it today!

or, you can go into the way back machine and realize this from Woody Wilson....but I think more damage was done by the war/fear mongers of the past decade.....

In 1916, three years after its inception, President Woodrow Wilson denounced the Federal Reserve System:

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world, no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

So declares the DNC poodle Wasserman-Schultz.

Man is Obama going to be hacked off at her. There goes 90% of his speech content.

The poodle yapping again, this time on the absence of an increase in unemployment since Barky took over.
