Re: {OT} Me, I'll take a recession, thank you

UNjust war? Unjust only in the minds of those who support terrorism and 3rd world tyrants. That would be many LIEbrawls and/or other naive fools.

War cost $6 billion.

Two weeks of Obama and Congress stimulus $1 trillion and rising. Add a billion of it leaving the U.S. by crooked CEO's, like the GM CEO's sending a billion of it to Brazil for their operations there.

I have an idea for a stimulus package that will do more for America than Obama's and be a lot cheaper. Every American needs to take part though. At

A recession is never _that_ bad for those of us who manage to keep our jobs, and even during the Great Depression, most people kept their jobs. Have you ever been seriously unemployed, other than during a state-sponsored vacation?

Not according to the multipliers for the kinds of spending and tax cuts it features, except those for upper income people, which are <

1. Didn't you read that list of multipliers I posted? Do you have any proof that you'll likely be correct?

Tell that to people for whom it is a large problem.

Why do you cite moral authority when you've admitted that you have no morals and just hate women and want to murder people, Mr. Fregeau?

Which is why you could say, "Not fun, but not a problem." But not everyone, by a long shot, is in that position.

But I'm not listening to you; I'll take major economists' words for it instead; they disagree over the amount needed, but agree that it will help. That the net effect will be a positive one. That one thing leads to another, leads to another... multiplying the positive effects.

$6 billion is what the war costs every 3-4 weeks. Where did you get your misinformation?

Removing money from the economy at this time is the opposite of what needs to be done, and what needs to be done is increase spending like crazy, even wasteful spending.

A recession is when the neighbor is out of work, a depression is when you are out of work, and home.

Right, that'll put the same number of people back to work as anything the republicans have come up with in the last 8 years.

I think the war cost is more like $600 billion over the 5 years (2003-2008).

-- and wasting -- a lot, lot more than the Obama economic program costs. You've got to stop thinking of this problem as just a contest between two equally moral, equally right sports teams and get serious.

Glen Beck is a radical nut who's ignorant and not very bright, a low- rent, minor league version of Rush Limbaugh (who's not exactly Mr. High Class, thanks to the hillbilly heroin and really obvious gayness of that gay basher).

They're also not counting people who've been out of work so long that their unemployment benefits have run out. How convenient, eh?

Didn't claim otherwise. It's always been a sore point with me. BOTH sides claim victolly or defeet with fake unemployment numbers.

You said that the current recession is not a problem.

Cathy

War isn't at a trillion.

Democrats are already there in 2-3 weeks. At the rate they are currently spending a trillion a month, it's be the biggest fleecing of America ever.

Just wait until they ramp up Afghanistan, or Mexico.

Oh, speaking of Mexico, seems more people die there over the drug war than in Iraq in 2008. In 2009 in death numbers in Mexico will surpass Iraq again.
