Obama should pick a younger VP, Biden is too OLD!

Quote from Ricter:

Not sure why the discussion on consumer demand showed up in this thread, at least re my take on it, since my comment today is in another thread...

Anyway, I admit my guilt: not long ago I thought, or didn't think rather, that a spending cut was just a spending cut, a tax cut was just a tax cut.

I think it's essentially a break for the rich that we are discussing, the cost of which the Right wishes to place on everyone else, however it may be configured. And most everyone else is somewhat drawn to bear much more burden. So the Right wishes to bring aid to those who don't need it at the expense of those who do. Did I misunderstand what you were alluding to elsewhere?

No misunderstanding, I was only explaining my own view.

Actually it was the consumers we were discussing. Before you changed it to "tax breaks for the rich."

The question was one of focus. The Right is focusing on a problem that doesn't exist while ignoring one that does. Lifeguards should be saving people treading water rather than those sipping piña coladas in the shade. Seriously, did you really need this clarification?

Huh?

So...you favor tax cuts for the consumers? You know, to get that economic "engine" you described going.

I also think the lifeguards should stop that really fat inefficient spender from going in the pool and displacing all the water.

That fat person should cut its income taxes to zero and decrease its spending and borrowing.

That fat person at the very least has to cap spending and balance the budget before it can swim.

Obama should bring in Sarah Palin to even out the ticket.
A nutcase on the left and the right.
Think of the votes they'd get.
Sarah Palin, being the drama queen she is, would jump at the chance.

Ryan at 6% body fat can kick Biden's ass!

Ryan's bodyfat % seems to be turning you on. This is what, your third post on it? (I'm not saying it's bad that it's turning you on.)
