The lonely conservative?

I googled it, the main text is from the Washington Times. First one up on google, they must be paid up.

The Times isn't exactly a middle of the road publication.

Just because you say there's a causal relationship, it's supposed to be good enough for the rest of us? 

I thought you knew that by now.

5 minutes and 53 seconds to challenge the source.  You are slipping.

Will it change your mind?

No, because what the report says is not what you stated. It projects that the stimulus will have a net negative effect of 0.3 percent of GDP beginning in 2016. I could quibble with the reasoning, but there's no need, we'll see what actually happens soon enough.

Next time do try to sort out the past from the future.

Also, don't post things that directly contradict your statement that stimulus has no effect:
Quote
For this current quarter CBO said the stimulus is sustaining between 600,000 and 1.8 million jobs, which has improved the unemployment rate by as much as 1 percent versus what it otherwise would have been.

No effect, you said.

Why the heck are we even debating the effectiveness of stimulus? Ryan's letters requesting funds specifically touted how they would create jobs in his district. If you don't think stimulus has an effect, I guess you should take it up with Paul Ryan.

Ditto.


If it has no effect, that is just one more lie he has told.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Paul Ryan has mentioned that in college he had a job driving the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile.

Now him and Mitt Romney have something in common. They both have experience driving a car with a dog on the roof.

I remember seeing the Weinermobile when I was a kid.  I didn't like hot dogs though, still don't.  About the only way I could get them past my taste buds was if they were split in half lengthwise and cooked on the iron skillet.

I saw one week before last in Milwaukee, a block down the street from the place I was going.  Didn't have time or I would have gone to visit and see if they had any of those little Wienermobile whistles they used to give away.


Ever tried rippers?  Everything's better fried!!

Not that I remember.  We didn't do much deep frying.  I hadn't actually heard of rippers so I looked it up and found on Wikipedia that it is common in New Jersey.  We lived in PA.  True, it was barely across the Delaware River but I guess it was far enough.  Those guys in Jersey will do anything.

I believe that - Jersey is a whole other country!
I can't remember where I had them before - I thought it was Atlantic City but can only guess....


Now that I mention it, I think I need to fire up the fryer this weekend!
