    Calling you arrogant is an Ad hominem attack?

    How many insults/at hominem attacks have you levied to me and others on here in just the last 2 days?

    I would guess about 10 times as many as have been levied at you.

    I would say you are also a hypocrite.

    And judging by the length and seeming desperation of your posts for people to debate you at great length...I would guess you are quite unhappy and rather lonely.

    Why else would you go on and on and on with perfect strangers about subjects they seem to care only a fraction of that you do?

    If your life was so full...you would not do this.

    Sorry it obviously is not.

    I now await your rebuttal that you are SO happy and fulfilled...with a bunch of personal insults attacks thrown in for good measure.

    And, btw, the above is not an ad hominem attack. It is simply an observation of you...completely different from your points.

    Where exactly did I make fun of Americans who fought the 'Axis of Evil'?
    Where exactly did I type that?
    And which exact tax that benefits all classes equally the same did you show me?
    And exactly what question did I ask?


    Have a nice day.

    So, according to you, the ARRA (Stimulus) that had NOTHING to do with the GWB administration was his fault?

    Noted.


    Have a nice day.

    You typed the following:

    'As for the US, congress didn't want war, FDR did. After PH congress finally pulled their heads out.'

    Congress enacted the largest US Naval expansion in it's history and you say Congress 'didn't want war'.

    I will let others decide who makes more sense with this.

    I typed:

    'end SS for everyone who is under 30 today'

    Meaning - when everyone who is presently over 30 dies...Social Security (for the elderly) dies with it.

    This gives people who are 30 and under ample time to save up for their retirement.

    And if it doesn't? Enjoy my government flop houses (unless you are mentally/physically handicapped - then the gov will look after you).


    WOW! Thank you very much.


    Seriously, I'll let Peter Schiff speak for me about FDIC:

    Especially from 1:00 on.


    Have a nice day.

    He can't.

    Because the Democrats are the good boys and girls.

    And the Republicans are the bad boys and girls...because they (apparently) won't let America spend itself into oblivion.

    I have little faith in either party.

    But if there is one that obviously has shown FAR less fiscal responsibility then the other lately...it is DEFINITELY the Democrats...lead by Obama.

    Actually, why am I wasting my time on you?

    You are (imo - on this subject) ignorant, condescending, arrogant and seem to live in Democrat Party Playland...where Uncle FDR tucks you in every night.

    Find someone else to post one long winded post after another to.

    And finally, sorry for your sake to read you are taking your second degree...because as Steve Jobs proved (and I found out for myself when I went to university); unless you know EXACTLY what you want to be and you MUST get a degree to succeed in that field (like a doctor, nurse, engineer, etc.) --- college is generally a waste of time and it handcuffs you to having to pay off your student loans instead of going out and taking chances (like Jobs did).
    There is NOTHING it can teach you (outside of the doctor, nurse, engineer thing) that experience and life cannot even better (imo).


    Chow.

    Oh boy I love this meme.

    Bush presides over the dismantling of our financial instutions and the Clinton surplus, and you blame democrats.

    What else do you got, I guess.

    What surplus? It was a surplus on paper that used SS as a way to show a surplus.

    Sorry but Bush inherited a country going into a recession and fixed it and did not blame Clinton. Here we have Obama who has failed to fix anything and still is blaming bush 3 years later.

    also....the surplus under the clinton years was caused by the huge bubble in the tech and NASDAQ.....which created billions in profits on paper by under writiers and capital gains!

    Once again, **********s reduced to spinning history because it is so completely contrary to their bizarro world view.

    No, I haven't. I did notice how the **********s blocked a robust stimulus bill that was needed to get us out of the failed conservative economic policies of Bush. Krugman predicted the need for real stimulus. But Baggers don't listen.

    Has stimulus helped Japan?

    has stimulus helped Greece?

    How about Italy and Portugal? Has stimulus helped them?

    Get this through your head......stimulus does not work...it just gets you deeper in debt!

    That is not the point. The point is Obama and the democrats had a filibuster proof congress and still could get nothing done and we still have a bad economy and 9% unemployment.

    When have there been 60 democrats in the senate?
    http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x8386068

    Also, you have a weird idea of what filibuster-proof is.
    How is 28 successful filibusters filibuster-proof?
    And does the phrase record number of filibusters mean anything to you?

    The 111th congress fell short of that record by just three,
    the record being held by the previous congress,
    which is more or less the same people.

    The democrats not keeping their own people together shows how there is a lack of leadership in their party

    Um....why did you post that random link?
    It doesn't prove that there were ever 60 democrats in the senate,
    and it also doesn't have anything to do with that statement you just made.
    And the statement you just made was also random, and has nothing to do with what you quoted.

    Answer my question. When have there been 60 democrats in the senate?
