Great post, thanks for sharing. My favorite part of the piece: "Customers at the bar told reporters the "shitfaced" and disruptive Bernanke refused to pay for his drinks with U.S. currency, claiming it was "worthless." Witnesses also confirmed that near the end of the evening, Bernanke put...

If you look at the government's data, table 1.2, under the On-Budget Surplus / Deficit Column, you can see that Obama since 2008 has managed to double GW Bush's worse year in terms of a deficit. And everyone, including the OMB, believes the 2012 and onward projections to be fantasy. The reason...

If tax rates were the issue, then the Democratic Party could easily have remedied the situation with their fillibuster-proof supermajority status. The fact of the matter is that the current administration had plenty of time to adjust tax rates and loopholes and deductions to anything they...

Friday's number is going to be a real shit show. Time to demogogue the business community. Drive up crude prices some more with administration policies. Fix health care. Have a regulations party. Issue regulatory exemptions to friends. If this is all Bush's fault, does the current...

Still another ET market timing prediction disaster. EMG, 95 % of retail traders lose, they just lose ! As a side note, I sincerely thank you for your work with the educational vendor list. The moderator should permanently bookmark the thread at the top of the educational forum section.

No, Gabby is cut from the same cloth as Pee Drinker. They are both quite frankly dolts who can be argumentative but offer no substance to consider. AK-47 can at least carry an arguement and build a structure to support it. Ricter is smart and I for one really enjoy his posts.

Yep, that $1 Trillion stimulus really worked well. So did the hundreds of billions spent on green jobs investments over at the DoE. Should have raised taxes early in his term when he had the supermajority and the ideal opportunity. Economy certainly would have been helped with that...

The OP should move his ass over to Illinois, where Dems have had complete autonomy over the purse and the legislation for about 150 years. They are certainly "pro-revenue" and real Americans who care about government in his mind. And as we all know, Illinois is the biggest shit show for...

Fiscal Sanity and a return to our constitutional values, perhaps ?

Fair points that the OP will not acknowledge and certainly the OP does not intend to address.

Well, you are making my point. I have conceded several valid points to Ricter over the past several weeks - Why ? He on occasion provides evidence to support a logical arguement. When Ricter introduces an arguement, there is usually a framework in his reasoning - successful arguement requires...

So, oldtime, is a Blue Dog Democrat un-American by your estimation ? Is a social Libertarian who happens to be a fiscal conservative un-American ? I think that many Republicans and Dems both are now at the nexus where a flat tax, or at least a more uniform tax-code with less deductions and...

Listen, in terms of logical powers you are simply argumentative and nothing more - just like Pee Drinker you are like arguing with a two year old. You are a "2" on a scale of 1 to 10. You do not bring external information into your posts and you do not know how to correctly build and frame an...

"try to shut down the government to the peril of the entire nation" You really are a dolt. If the best you can profer is to simply repeat the Dem talking points ad nauseum, then why bother starting a thread with a hypocritical value statement about the quality of the political discourse here...

Or possibly, fringe like this ? Earlier today Politico broke the astonishing story of Joe Biden supporting the charge by Democrat Congressman Mike Doyle of Pennsylvania that Tea Party Republicans had “acted like terrorists” over the debt issue. According to Politico’s report, based on...

Fringe, like this ? Jackson Lee: Congress complicating debt ceiling because Obama is black THe Hill, By Josiah Ryan - 07/15/11 03:02 PM ET Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Friday strongly suggested that members of Congress are making it difficult for President Obama to raise the...

It never ceases to amaze me: "progressives" making value statements and passing personal judgements on others. Whatever happened to the concept of 'social justice' ? Progressives have turned out to be the most hypocritical class of politico in the lot.
