LongLiveYorke 38 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Not to mention the fact that many Republicans in congress, including Ryan, voted for stimulus package that was nearly as large as the one that eventually was passed. So, whenever they say that the stimulus was too much money or generational theft or whatever they claim, they should have to answer to the fact that they were also comfortable with borrowing ~700 billion dollars for the sake of stimulus. http://swampland.time.com/2012/08/14/paul-ryan-and-the-stimulus-a-match-designed-to-make-my-head-explode/ This is also in addition to the fact that Ryan requested money from the Stimulus Package that actually passed, but that's a different story...

CaneBrain 95 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Paul Ryan is the worst, Palin was less offensive. That Time article doesn't even include his 2002 impassioned speech arguing for a Bush stimulus package. Link to post Share on other sites

BaseJester 1 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Borrow $10k per family. Family net worth ignoring national debt goes up $10k. Does this really demonstrate the policy is successful? Link to post Share on other sites

akoff 0 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 you are never going to get sides to agree it was good or bad idea. To most clear thinkers there is only 1 obvious conclusion anyway...so now that the beltway boys have had the frat party and everyone has gone home they need to find a way to pay for it...but oh yea the dumbass never thought about that. Hold on silly little people this one is gonna hurt for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not sure how we get QE3 if QE2 was so effective? Or is LLY's analogy correct and QE2 actually allowed us to get sick again? Link to post Share on other sites

If QE2 got us sick, then our disease would be inflation. Since that's not our problem, then no, QE2 wasn't what got us sick. Link to post Share on other sites

The Stagnant Housing Recovery and The Slowest Economic Recovery Since 1882 http://confoundedint...ery-since-1882/ As I've posted before this recession was caused by a major financial bubble and financial bubble recessions are the worst kind and the recovery from them is different than from a recession caused by high interest rates such as the Reagan Recession was. The last major one in the US was the Great Depression. This is an excellent article from Reinhart & Rogoff on financial bubble recessions and how the US recovery from this one mirrors past ones in the US and in other countries. http://www.bloomberg...-different.html Link to post Share on other sites
CaneBrain 95 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Don't worry Bob, clear thinkers who pay attention understand comparing a global meltdown to a couple mini recessions is the last refuge of people with their head in the sand. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the data they are representing is near as transparent as they want you to think it is. I don't see another World War coming to shake things up like WW2 did for FDR ...but i guess i shouldn't cut BHO and the rest of his thieves short My opinion is it will take another 20 years for all of this to shake itself out and another generation after that to get it under control - at that point it will be obvious how big of mistake BHO and crew have made. paying the bills for this mess is going to take a lot of pain.
