    Strawman. I said we had the beginnings of the housing bubble in the late 90's.

    In 1995 Clinton loosened housing rules by rewriting the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods.

    Do you see it now?

    LMAO!

    I wouldn't be surprised to see one of our conservative friends starting a thread citing your post. It actually sounds similar to some of the ridiculous things we've seen posted lately.

    It's in perfect line with this thread. Its rediculous to think Gallup is influenced or controlled by any administration.

    The part where it doesn't support your claim, as demonstated in other threads.

    Since you apparently seem to thing that large colorful letters makes your post more persuasive. It seems to a conservative trait.

    He does, don't worry. He went to the Dr. Righteous school of never conceding an argument. Don't expect a concession. Expect a litany of verbose obfuscations, redirections, and other dishonest tactics.

    No one has addressed my claim.

    Too many politically sensitive shills I guess.

    If you raise taxes to 100% on people making over 1 million, you still have a budget deficit of nearly 500 Billion.

    Sure Mike. Impress us with the analysis you did to conclude that.

    Funny how it doesn't seem to matter which party needs to boost the unemployment statistics, it's the unemployed who are the subjects mysteriously missing from the equation.


    Why is there no statistic on the number of individuals between the ages of 18-65, who should be working but are not? Oh that's right, political propaganda doesn't, or more to the point cannot work like that.

    It didn't take a year to create it, it definitely won't take a year to fix it.

    Stalemate has worked.

    Deficit down, unemployment down, stock market up, since October 2010.

    do the monthly tax receipts in real dollars, not % of GDP confirm this uptick in employment?

    Previously addressed.

    If you want the shills' response, you'll have to ask them.
