Say Anything Blog

This ignorance that passes for democrat wisdom is amazing.  It is the business men and women, the wealthy, and investors who take the risks that births new industries and businesses and subsequently creates jobs.  Extending unemployment benefits does nothing to stimulate anything, much less create jobs.  Couple that with additional unemployment taxes on those who create jobs and you can see just how “stimulating” this proposal would be.

Rob: I saw that too! In fact, Breitbart had two different versions of this leftist propaganda!

OUTRAGEOUS!!

But typical of a MSM trained in ‘journalism’ at our colleges and universities by professors like the nut-case in Georgia who argued that blogs are dangerous because people can SAY ANYTHING on them.

"Here lies, in honored glory, an American soldier, known but to God.”

THIS ELECTION IS ABOUT TWO THINGS: WINNING THE WAR ON TERRORISM AND SAVING THE SUPREME COURT.

Rob,

This is exactly the MSM-DNC ass-covering and finger-pointing I was referring to when I described what we will be confronted with under a McCain regime.

He will go along with all his Dem buddies, and when the US is completely Californicated via the Leftist bone-headed taxation, unfunded mandates and socialist economy-commanding, the MSM will scream that a Republican president presided over this gagglefuck that our economy will become.

It won’t just be the economy, it will also be mass amnesty and a dropped guard against terrorism, inviting attack.

While the Rush and Laura listeners will know better,
the DNC-MSM will lay the blame on a Republican president, and the great Squishy Middle will visit their voting wrath against any hapless Republicans who remain in government.

It doesn’t take any precognition or sixth sense to recognize the DNC-MSM MO (BTW is it permissible to have so many TLA’s in one sentence?  that is, Three Letter Acryonyms?)

...for great justice

This is exactly the MSM-DNC ass-covering and finger-pointing I was referring to when I described what we will be confronted with under a McCain regime.

Also don’t forget MSNBC, the New York Slims, the Washington Compost et al all have an agenda to make the GOP look bad.

What’s really scary is how economically ignorant our Congress people are.

Actually, the Republican Senators are to be congratulated for blocking Reid and the Democrats on this latest pork-fest.  The so-called “economic stimulus package” is little more than an economic charade, an attempt by Washington politicians of both partisan stripes to buy votes in an election year.  It will have little or no effect on the economy which has already been substantially stimulated by Ben Bernanke and his associates at the Fed.

What IS interesting about this is the speed with which Democrats in both the House and the Senate have abandoned all pretense of their previous “Pay-as-you-go” war chant.  The “evil” of federal budget deficits, which will balloon under this package of pointless give-aways, has vanished.  The Left’s budget “hawks” turn out to be nothing more than chickadees, mockingbirds, and an occasional tufted titmouse.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Wow.  Apparently the Democrats think that the way to prosperity is to pay people not to work.  I think even Keynes himself would have chastised them for their economic ignorance.

BB,

For heaven’s sakes, Man!  Democrats neither know nor care one wit about economic growth and prosperity.

Robert Riech, Clinton’s former Pooh-Bah of pander and pontification, and the only man to look up to Donna Shalala, can spend more airtime saying nothing than any other human being.

Meanwhile, NYT economist and former Enron advisor, Paul Krugman, the consummate leftist liar, has been calling for a recession quite nearly every single week for the past 7 years, thus making even blind squirrels look good by comparison.

That President Bush has gone along with any of this foolishness ranks right up there with the steel import quotas, the prescription drug benefit, Colin Powell, and the Harriet Myers Supreme Court. appointment.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

You’re right, but it’s still stunning to me that a whole party can have the economic ignorance that surpasses that of Keynes and Galbraith.  It’s like noticing that your next door neighbor is calling Bigfoot or “Cousin It” to get his advice on hair removal.

BB,

What you’re overlooking is the fact that competence simply doesn’t matter.  Right and wrong are relative, determined only by who wins and who loses.

The point that Lord Keynes would undoubtedly disavow liberal Dems’ Keynesian economics has been made before by experts who would know.  As for Galbraith, for all his pompous self-assurance, every time he appeared on Firing Line Mr. Buckley treated him like Rocky Aoki would a piece of Kobi beef.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Certainly too many people DO see it as just winning or losing, as if it were a game where the referees had difficulty seeing the “E” on their vision test.....

If you’re trying to pick a fight with me, Bat One, you’re failing.  :^)

BB,

Not at all.  There are obviously enough of our opponents here seriously in need of major cognitive adjustment… we need not quibble amongst ourselves.
