Hannity offers to be waterboarded: Olberman calls his bluff and offers $1000 per second.

The national debt went up by 2.9 trillion during Reagan. Obama is going to eclipse that in his first 2 years.

Yeah, but that was back when a trillion dollars was a lot of money.

 

[barman]

Reagan didn't do shit......he was a fucking zombie the last 3 years of his presidency

his first term was perhaps the greatest of the 21st century

"20th"

Only because he has no choice but to try to spend his way out of the terrible economic situation that Bush left him to deal with.

Can you imagine where we'd be if Bush had managed to push through his plan to privatize social security after his re-election in November 2004? I remember him touring the country and pushing that agenda HARD.

"No choice"? He has plenty of other things to do, most notably nothing, and let the economy get itself in good shape.

Imagine you're 500k in debt, and you lost your job. You go to a financial adviser to ask what to do. "Well, Rocker, what you need to do is take out a 100k bank loan. Have some repairs and improvements made to your house, maybe get a new roof, a pool put in, maybe a new room. Buy a car from a local dealership, and eventually that money will make it back into your life as a job, at which point you can pay off the 600k you owe". Sound stupid? That is what Obama is doing.

We would probably be better off had Bush privatized social security, as that would be hundreds of billions that would be pumped back into the private sector.

Lets go back and check the good Senator from Illinois's voting record. He had absolutely nothing to do with the deficit he "inherited".

I disagree. Without bailing out the banks and the auto sector, the entire economy could collapse, and possibly never rebound. This is the beginning of the end of the American Empire.

You think we'd be better off with hundreds of billions pumped back into the private sector? This would be at the expense of retired people, who'd be living out on the streets!

he wont last more then 5 seconds. i tried doing it to myself in the shower this morning for fun.

The problem is that the banks and auto sector aren't profitable because they make bad decisions or make products people don't want. But they know they can be irresponsible because they get welfare. I don't get the liberal mindset: If you're successful, we're going to tax the hell out of you. If you're unsuccessful, we're going to shower you with money.

Bush wanted to privatize a portion of SS. Old people would still have money, but someone will have to make a sacrifice, or we're all going to be living out on the streets. By the way, do you think the families of old people would let them "live on the streets"?

I call B.S.

In fact it's widely known that Clinton was still riding Reagan's economic coattails.

Economy in tatters? What planet are you living on?

You a wise man as the debt Reagan left was churning revenues during his last six months in office and well into Clinton's 1st term. Clinton balanced the budget with Reagan mojo and a R Congress that, at that time in history were fiscally responsible, was a hawk and tight on spending.

I was living the dream during and after the Reagan years. Today I'm paying double in total taxes; Fed, State, local, sales, property, airline (HLS surcharge), hell I can keep going.

They went crazy after Newt was crucified for what now is common practice. From there our economy and Agencies were run by idiots leading to Somalia, Cole and 9/11 as we had a weak intel system.

History is an easy thing to read about (unless you don't read, are alive or don't care), but if you don't follow it you are doomed to repeat it.

So I don't keep banging my head against the wall on political talk lets win some money to pay or tax bill next April.

You are one smart man. It is exactly where we'd be in better economic situation as we STILL have SS to deal with... a long with Medicare. Can you say INFLATION. Better be buying real gold right now. Stock market is under the control of the O man. Get in his way and its handled like things in Chicago.

This is why Wall Street has to pay millions in bonuses to keep their best people ... if they don't, they end up with "amateur economists" like GJ and then they're up shit creek.
