I asked first. If you claim the government should focus on fixing the economy the burden is on you to provide possible solutions as to how it could be done. Redirecting to me is a weak tactic. What? Did Faux News not give you anything to parrot?
I've discussed what I thought was the real cause and a potential path to take to solve it previously. And it was worked in the past. And some are pursuing it now. So hopefully this strategy results in lower unemployment and more economic growth.Last edited by rwh11385; 11-12-2012, 11:09 AM.Comment

But the problem in the long term for America is mandatory spending and an aging population. Either way it's a bandaid but big reprocusions for ripping it off from not being able to find a middle ground in the mean time. More importantly, continuing to prove the government cannot effectively run itself provides no confidence like with the budget ratification ordeal or debt ceiling.Economists are saying that even if it causes a recession, it will be better for the long term health of the economy.
I am going to be a bit cynical and say that they probably will reach some sort of consensus. And by consensus I mean keep the tax cuts and spend more money.
I hope they both can come down from their raised egos and settle on tax rates in the middle. If the sides stop battling, they can start working on ways to get America through the next 50 years. Chief among them is having Gen Y fill the shoes of the Boomers or new roles created by new technology. And facilitating transitions between winding down industries and growing ones.
Having us close the trade gap helps a lot and hope we continue with our progress.Comment

You're proving exactly why I don't need to answer your question in the first place. You also proved it in your economy thread where you had to keep putting words in my mouth for the lack of a real argument from your end. Needy aren't you.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

What? So you believe it's rational to say any shit you would like and then avoid any questioning to your lack of logic because everyone who calls you on it must be out against you? That's one way to argue like a child.Comment

Maybe I should just use your tactic and attack you for your terrible grammar? Childish no?I asked first.

I can play that game too.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I'm willing to answer any questions from those who don't have an axe to grind against me like you do. Like you're currently proving this very minute...lol.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

So you are being like gwb and trying to avoid arguments against me? Sounds weak. It's like you don't like it when people call out your logical fallacies that you base your arguments on. Without those, you got nothing and you know it.
Are others allowed to ask what your solution to fix the economy is then?Comment

It's childish of me but not of you to find faults in grammar, is that right. I can only imagine how tough it must be for you to not have anyone you can attack in this forum anymore now that I won't play ball with you. Not that you really ever played ball in the first place because you were too busy thinking I said something I didn't. And you still do that now.
Oh yes Corvallis the guy who made fun of me for not willing to take government loans out for college yet here he is going on about how he voted for Gary J. The Libertarian. Irony....LMFAO...Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

Maybe you ought to realize that your poor ability to express yourself with the English language properly decreases people's understanding of what you are attempting to convey. Sometimes I honestly have no clue what you are trying to say.It's childish of me but not of you to find faults in grammar, is that right.

Oh no, the forum troll has been so distressed of me pointing out his fallacies that he has given up trying to argue against me. Even if you don't respond to me, there's everyone else on the forum that can see your BS and will call you out on it. Then what? You are going to ignore the entire forum? Well - not really surprised, you do act like someone who sticks his fingers in his ears when he doesn't hear what he likes.Comment

Oh there you go again trying to appeal to the forum members (as the weak always do). I have always stuck my views out on the line for criticism. It's too bad your anger and hostility over rides your reasoning in discussing issues.Maybe you ought to realize that your poor ability to express yourself with the English language properly decreases people's understanding of what you are attempting to convey.

Even in your economic thread I had to tread softly because you got so riled up when I said things aren't looking that great. We could still end up in a shit hole. All you did was make a far bigger deal than you ever needed to about what I said. And it went on for pages.
I have no reason to answer your question. And I've said why. Don't like it, too fucking bad. Maybe if you stopped twisting my words or attacking my grammar/spelling (as I just caught one of yours). But didn't make a big deal about it because it happens. And I'm a grown up about it. Maybe you can try the same?Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.
