OT:
Somehow, through the magic of the web, I ran into the Cheney awards. I would like to make an early entry for next year.

Q: How does George Bush know when Laura has her period?

A: Cheney's dick tastes funny.

That did remind me: where is that weasel?
I have not heard from his lying mouth lately. Perhaps the MSM reallizes that all the pos is good for is as a revers barometer?

That weasel is hiding behind the NYT's pay per propaganda wall.

I share the Ace's view that by next year, say summer, the world is going to be a lot better place. Iraq will be functioning, maybe even peaceful. The economy is already going, but maybe the exuberance will reach Clinton-bubble triumphalism (without the internet bubble, natch).

How is the left going to spin those things, bitches?

Yeah as long as Bush refuses to be fiscally responsible we will have quite a ride. All he has to do is to simultaneously continue to cut taxes and increase spending and all the economic indicators will read falsely positive, it is called a political business cycle. Your children will suffer for your incompetent decisions I hope you are happy.

{Shakes head in contempt and disgust}

I am happy.

{Reaches for glass of water, takes a sip}

I'm sure I speak for a lot of commenters on this board when I say shut the fuck up.

Could your pathetic brand of partisanship be any more transparent? When Clinton was presiding over a stock market bubble, you fucking liberals were practically wanking to CNBC.

Now that the GDP is actually growing, you're still trying to make growth seem like a bad thing. Seriously, just put some money in the market and enjoy the ride.

Shake your head in 'contempt and disgust' all you want. It won't change the rate of economic growth. You fucking assholes. What's good for America really is bad for you, isn't it?

I can't tell you how much you and people like you piss me off, you little squeaking gerbil of a man.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Hahahahahaha

It's easier to say STFU and attack a straw man than refute the argument I presented.

What kind of asshole pimps their children’s future out for selfish short-term gain?

A Great Big Bleeding Asshole Like YOU, Lee Atwater!

Obviously ignorance is bliss for an idiot like you!

Most of the deficit is composed of the entitlements, such as Social Security, that Democrats vehemently refuse to reform.

Federal tax revenues are actually up quite a bit.

There was an argument tucked away in all that nonsense? Make sense and you'll attract more than trolls - we're always happy to debate economics with Econ 101 grads like you.

I'll admit, the spending disturbs me quite a bit. I don't like it when they spend my hard-earned cash on pork projects.

Higher government spending alone would not cause the rates of sustained growth we're seeing. We haven't had a negative quarter in years, actual productivity is high and the employment rate has stayed low. Government spending is usually a short-term shot in the arm for economic growth, not a sustainer of it.

More than trolls? Shit, I meant to say trolls will attract more than flames or something like that.

Ah, sleep deprivation.

It works for you.

Hmph. Well, this weasel is abroad for the holidays.

It's still an open question in my mind whether what happened at the end of the Nineties was a true bubble, or simply an ordinary economy grossly misreported by the media.

It hardly would make a difference either way. Remember the magic incantation: when there is growth under a Republican, it's a "Decade of Greed"; when there is growth under a Democrat, it's a "Decade of Prosperity". Even if it's fake growth.

I dunno troll mentioned something about false positives because of low taxes and high government spending.
The last refuge of the damned democrat, "but, but but, we are spending too much!" Yeah, as a percentage of what?
And who is so pure when it comes to spending as your "I didn't do it democrat?" Like the 80's (and probably the civil war), the only spending to be cut would be the kind that keeps the bad guys at bay. They also opposed the recent $50bil cut that passed. Pure as virgin, troll.

Over the past 5 years, dems have bitched and moaned every step of the way.

Liberals dont like tax cuts it cuts off the money for their pork projects
