Oh, those damn facts are getting in the way again. It makes it so confusing.

Pew Research must be a phony front for ACORN.

Why are you talking to us? Where is the Democratic tax bill? Obama can talk all he wants about Republicans but he never presented a bill. Pelosi didn't either. There is nothing on paper and your pals just left town because they were too much of a chicken. If they were serious they would put out a bill to raise taxes on everybody, and if you believe what they say, pass it. Why didn't they?

Maybe because right now it doesn't make sense to either cut taxes or raise taxes in a major way (tax cuts=stimulate the economy but increase the deficit; tax raises=deflate the economy but reduce the deficit).

It is the crazies you support that seem to think they can 1) cut taxes, 2) balance the budget, and 3) not cut any major spending program like Medicare and Social Security. Waiting for you (and the tea partiers) to express a coherent thought about macro economic policy.

Wow, who became President in 2008 ?
Things would appear to have gone to hell by some mysterious and reckless accelerative policies according to that graph.

Pretty disingenious bill. I'm reasonably certain that you are intelligent enough to understand that the economic meltdown is a result of the major forces at play during Bush's watch and that we're still seeing the inertial effects of that. However, you seem to pretend not to understand that...or is it that you really don't understand and that you're as clueless as the tea party nutters on this board.

Way back in 2000 I remember those incredibly rosy projections from the CBO, as though then-current economic boom would last forever. You know, because booms always last forever. The ink wasn't dry before it all fell apart.

One thing nobody in this country seems to want to believe is that bubbles always burst.

Poor Davester needs two cups of coffee to recognize sarcasm.
Or just likes the role of forum jackass.
