Quote:Your being intellectually dishonest, once again if you think that 401k's have anything to do with the retained earnings that I'm talking about. Either that, or you just don't know what you're talking about.


Finally, as you normally do, you deflect from what I actually said in order to spout your rhetoric that your have so well rehearsed. Keynesian economics dictates that during a recession spending goes up. Even in the 80s, this occurred. Face it, your economic theories don't work, and even republicans when the are in office spend during a recession.


Also, it's cute that you mention anything about taking points and then go right ahead and bring up the solindra right wing talking point. Heck your last paragraph could have between copy and pasted from a Fox news transcript!!! Hahaha Your lack of self awareness I'd adorable.

 

Again, for ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION.  We are currently spending between 22 to 25% of GDP annually.  That's the highest rate in the history of the country.  That's nearly DOUBLE the levels under the NEW DEAL!  If government spending was truly a driver of economic growth, then we would be in a boom right now.  Instead, Barrack Obama will be one of the few presidents to leave office while NEVER presiding over a single year of economic growth topping 3%.  

 

THAT'S WITH interest rates effectively at 0.  Not to mention the FHA handing out 7500 to any first time home buyer to help with a down payment.  

 

The Obama administration is empirical evidence that Keynesian government lead economic policies DON'T GENERATE GROWTH!!!  It's not my opinion.  It's math.  

 

And to discount the Reagan Era tax cuts, the KENNEDY era tax cuts and the cap gains cuts in 97 is beyond intellectual dishonesty.  It's burying your head in the sand.  

 

Ask the VA about how well the government manages resources.  Is that the model that you want for the rest of the economy?
