fair enough

"I'm not a witch" was my personal favorite, who was yours?

When I'm bashing the left I'm only talking about those who voted for John "vote for me, I'm taller than him" Kerry in the primaries.

you again make an excellent point for how silly your arguments for idiotic spending are.

If the Mayans are right, spend away.

Now wait a minute, I didn't say I agreed with him, but you will have to admit that if you are certain that you don't have long to live, and you don't believe in any sort of an afterlife, wouldn't it be wise, or at least reasonable to enjoy your windfall?

Absolutely!!

If I thought the Mayans were right, I'd back your policies.

If government spending always tends to go into the economy, then one could argue that no government spending is "wasted".

yes sir, but unfortunately it does not. Monetary policy is beneficial to corporate banks since they are closer to the Fed. After money is created it loses value slowly... by the time it gets to us it has raised price levels so it isn't beneficial in the opinion of Austrians. Also spending on foreign affairs is a complete loss to our economy, for example when the fed bails out foreign banks like it does and when we use it for military spending like we do. So sayith the stoner economist.

So Gin? where'd the 80 cents go?

all right Ms. Pelosi, may I call you canndo? When we increase deficits by 5 trillion and GDP increases by 1 trillion that's 20 cents on the dollar on our "investment". As to where that other 80 cents goes, your guess is as good as mine, but it sure as hell wasn't in the US economy. My guess is some portfolios in DC were expanded as well as foreign banks' bottom lines.

Where do you think it went? You can't possibly say our economy, there is NOTHING to back that up.

Its malinvestment which comes out of the value of the dollar.

I'll grant you that interest owed may play a part in that 80 cents. But doesn't even that go somewhere? Didn't that 5 trillion go somewhere as well?

sure it did, part of it was ball washing in Africa, drunk Chinese hooker studies etc. Simply "spending money" isn't the correct course, especially if that money is spent stupidly.

I'd be willing to be that some of those "too big to fail" investment banks that were leveraged 40 to 1 are now only leveraged 38 to 1. Not sure how that helps the economy.

As lifegoesonbrah pointed out. It also devalues our currency which absolutely, unequivocally hurts the poor more than anyone else.

Why do liberals hate the poor so much?

To those LIARS who want you to think that Harry Greed is a good guy because he voted against the Patriot Act, he only opposed it under Bush. He did a lot of bullying to pass it, when it Obama's turn to commit treason.

"most liberal policies" wind up doing some good, or don't you like your 40 hr work week and your paid vacations and the fact that old people don't often drop dead on the streetcorner or weigh the importance of a cat food dinner vs that cumaden they need to keep from having a stroke.
