"Ten days before his inauguration, the President's chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Christina Rohmer, released a report describing what to expect economically during the first 100 days and beyond. It presented two starkly different scenarios: one good (if the stimulus were to be passed), and one terrifyingly bad (if we did nothing). Amazingly, the report estimated that if the stimulus package were to pass, the unemployment rate would not go above 8% at any time until at least 2014.
"It's already at 8.5%.

"In fact, while there is an acknowledged level of uncertainty, the projections estimated that the unemployment rate would be lower today if we had done nothing at all. This suggests one of two things: either the administration misjudged the seriousness of our economic problems, or the stimulus plan is actually making things worse. I suspect it's a little of both.

"Remember, when the President's budget was released, he was roundly criticized for his never ending deficits, even under his own optimistic scenarios for growth. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected deficits that were even uglier. But, if the President and his economic planners were this far off, this soon, how much worse does the future look now?

"The election was supposed to bring 'change,' but I was hoping for more than the letter after the President's name, the positivity of the media coverage, and the hypoallergenic qualities of the White House puppy. President Obama didn't get us into this situation, but so far he's doubling down on the same spending philosophy that did. Common sense tells us that new debt is not the cure for old debt. No matter what the slogans say, that won't change in 100 days or 100 years."

"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
Ecclesiastes 10:2 - It all makes sense to me now...

You lost; get over it.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

I lost nothing...you lost the ability to say you're as smart as the president.

We already know what you'll say, not that you're an honest person anyway.

Sorry, pal, but that ship sailed yesterday when you held up an oil industry shill as unbiased.

Only a dumbass wouldn't recognize that as an obvious typo (hint: the 's' and 'd' keys are right next to one another).  :biggrin:

Cough, cough, cough........smart as the president??? Gad! Give us a break. He's bankrupting this country on purpose, taking away ownership of GM and leading us into at least a socialist era.

What would you rather have?  Getting hit with 9/11 in your first year or starting off with this financial fiasco?

Why isn't HR 1207 flying through congress to bring some transparency to this mess?
Audit the Fed!!!!!

Good to see that your delusions of grandeur are still intact.

The bill has to get out of committee first. Indiana reps on the Financial Services Committee are Carson and Donnelly. Apply pressure.
