Quote from bugscoe:

Liberals seek to insult and discredit anyone who dares to disagree with them because the facts of logic and history do not support the agenda they are seeking to advance.

The Republicans and other assorted conservatives are largely hitching their wagon to the pie-in-the-sky "theory" of supply-side, trickle down "economics." There is no empirical basis to support this self-serving "theory." None. It failed under Reagan if you look at the liability side of the ledger. It failed under Bush. Perhaps you should ask yourself why you regard factual statements as insults.

And look at how well Obama is doing with his socialist welfare state agenda. No wonder you accused someone of treason without even knowing what it meant

You would have possibly made a point but you stopped at Bush.

Liberal accounting is a funny thing. You guys never like to look at the net results.

Are you even aware of what "supply-side, trickle down economics" is, aside from it being a theory with no real-world basis? Because you comment does not suggest that you do.
