    Ask McCain and Graham. They give so many concessions I think one of them sold me a hot dog at the last 49er game....

    In 2010, when SNAP was already at about 37 million participants, the CBO projected that it would continue to rise to "44 million by the end of 2012", an increase of 7 million. Well, it went to 47 million, which is an error of 43%.

    For another view, here is data assembled in 2010. These are cost numbers, from the CBO:

    http://books.google.com/books?id=kl...age&q=CBO 2010 food stamp projections&f=false

    Go down to the table 1.4. "Supplemental Nutrition Assistance" was supposed to top out at $69 B in 2011 AND 2012, and then drop to $66B in 2013. That's CBO numbers right there.

    In actuality, 2011 was almost $72 B, not $ 69 B, and 2012 was actually over $74 B.

    You're as clueless as Obama himself.

    Since manufacturing began moving to China in 2000 the American middle class has been shrinking.

    Obama hopes to replace good jobs with government handouts and income redistribution.

    But that is socialist nonsense that will only drag America down to the pathetic level of Australia or GB.

    You seem to be as acquainted which as many Obama voters as I am.

    I always find it amazing when conservatives talk about death panels that do not exist, but at the same time ignore the real conservative death panels in AZ

    Is that a Detroit public library?

    That could be the rest of America after another 4 years of Obama policies.

    I understand it, s0n. I clicked on it in hopes of seeing something intelligent. But instead, its mainly been partisan hacks tossing around mindless insults and bromides.

    My bad though. I shouldn't have expected more.

    Is everyone polite and respectful in Canada?

    Maybe that's because libs have the only voice and there are no conservatives remaining who can disagree.

    This fraud-balloon "recovery" is the product of one thing and one thing only: reckless, out-of-control money "printing" by President Bernanke and the Federal Reserve. And the only reason they've gotten away with tricks like using the imaginary "money" to buy U. S. debt and blowing $40 Billion dollars a month on toxic mortgage-backed securities is because (since World War II) the U. S. Dollar has been the world's "reserve currency". Liberals couldn't care less about the National Debt... that much is well-known. But they may have to start to care when we get so deeply in dept that we can't even pay the interest on it!

    Even the Department of Labor's U6 numbers reflect how much these bureaucrats cook the books, but worse -- the Obama regime persists in using the U3 unemployment rate, which ceased to have any relevance to the real situation in this country in 2007: http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm

    So, according to Comrade Obama's boot lickers, the unemployment rate is 7.7%, right? Take a look at that chart I gave the link for and, if you have a triple-digit IQ, you should be able to figure it out. The U6 number is nearly double Obama's pep-rally number! Read it for yourself -- I couldn't possibly fictionalize something this jacked-up... but Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve can! Oh, and Obama? He's nothing but a PC handpuppet for Bernanke and the central bankers who really run the economy.... :spin: ... :cynic: -- "Well, they needed a pretty face...."

    Bankruptcy would have helped the Big Three get out of their Union labor contracts and pay off their debts for pennies on the dollar. The taxpayers got stuck with a bailout just as they got stuck with an Obama "stimulus" bill.

    Canada moved to the right and has prospered. We should try it.

    Actually, you do not understand it, other wise you would recognize the utter failure that is Europe and the utter failure that America is headed towards employing the same failed policies in economics, social theory, and politics. Your "bad" was in not engaging topically with observation and or opinion where you substituted partisan ideology and bromides.

    If so then it appears that while Canada moved to the right all the crazy lefties moved to the US to tell us what to do.

    As usual, Pollycy is the adult voice in the room. You progressive kids sit down, cross your legs, and listen. School is in session. The economy is being held aloft by a funny money bubble.

    OK now this is just stupid. NO REGULATIONS would allow that, lesser regulations would not. Why does the left always have to resort to extreme hyperbole and hysteria when they debate?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Aw punkin, just pay attention and you will see why, oh and maybe read a few posts as well. Lefties worship Europe as utopia, yet they currently have an average unemployment rate of 12%.

    Nice try at a smoke screen, but you failed again.

    Skippy, I only brought it up because they nonsense the current administration is shoveling out is based on European nations' policies. If we continue, our unemployment rate will soar. Simple truth. I don't see anywhere that I said anything about socialism.

    Don't kid yourself. The eminently sensible folks to the North were doing poorly under Conservatives who had also squandered a surplus. They also passed a stimulus package to hasten their recovery.
