Tano thinks that insurance companies physically prevent you from accessing non-covered care like Gandalf at the Bridge of Kazad Dum.

Heh

It could be that posters like Chad and Tano aren’t just Obama cheerleaders. I mean lets look at the evidence.

Tano doesn’t understand Honduras.

Tano thinks that insurance companies physically prevent you from accessing non-covered care like Gandalf at the Bridge of Kazad Dum.

He thinks that rather than giving hope to our allies (Poland, Georiga, Israel, et al) The previous administration’s policy alienated them.

Tano doesn’t even show understanding of basic history.

Oh wait, never mind. No one could be that consistently wrong.

But of course, as a good Obama shill, just like those “economists” quoted, and just like your fellow paid propagandist Tano, you will sit there and tell us that those jobs exist, that those congressional districts are really there, that giving a person a pay increase counts as a job “created or saved”, and that all of us are racists for not agreeing.

“And revenue legislation is exactly that, legislation. It originates in congress not on Pennsylvania Avenue.”

The Capitol is also on Pennsylvania Avenue (ever hear the phrase “both ends of Pennslyvania Avenue?) – and, if you think that revenue legislation starts in Congress (except in the purely technical sense of where a bill is formally introduced), then you know nothing about how Washington works.

Capitol Building Address: 

   
East Capitol Street, NE and 1st Street, NE 
    
Washington, DC 20002

White House Address:
1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20006
(202) 456-1111

Pennsylvania Avenue terminates at the foot of the Capitol grounds. Hence, the Capitol is at the end of Pennsylvania Avenue, but not ON Pennsylvania Avenue.

No, just new analysts. It was Republican as well as Democratic, and all the private-sector analysts as well who underestimated the effect of the crash.

Oh of course! Chairman Obama’s shit smells like cinnamon rolls, I forgot. It’s everybody else’s fault and not the man who signed his name to massive debt and job destroying slush funds for his buddies.

That’s old news, very old news.

Ok, so you say, the stimulus is working, then where are the jobs? How come economic growth is still well below the level that we normally see after a recession?

“We are way out of balance. We’re not going to have a little mild recession. This is a major economic contraction that’s coming.”

The report you refer to says “between 600,000 and 1.6 million jobs” so there’s a lot of uncertainty in that.

The fact remains that government spending at all levels has been wildly out of control. Spending in Collyfornia has grown at rates far higher than population and inflation would explain (40 percent since Ahnold assumed office).

San Diego is facing insolvency due to public employee pensions (given the number of cities with unfunded pension liabilities, it seems to me that public pensions are another shoe to drop). The USA Today article quotes Howard Jarvis as saying that if California was a fically prudent as San Diego, there’d be no need for Prop. 13. That was then.

All analysts, including the administration, underestimated the extent that the financial crisis would, in combination with the recession, so severely impact employment.

Shouldn’t that mean that we need new “analysts” and a new administration? Only on the left is FAILURE rewarded with more of the same.

The Capitol is also on Pennsylvania Avenue (ever hear the phrase “both ends of Pennslyvania Avenue?) – and, if you think that revenue legislation starts in Congress (except in the purely technical sense of where a bill is formally introduced), then you know nothing about how Washington works.

You were going good for a while there, SoCal, but here you just fall back into the rant mode. No, the non-partisan CBO, whose objectivity has been heralded by the Republicans all autumn, they are the ones whose analysis said that the stimulus created upward of 1.6 million jobs. And the stimulus is obviously not a system to shovel money into government, but rather to shovel money out of government into the hands of companies that build our infrastructure – saving those companies from bankruptcy.

“The objection most conservatives have … is that double-digit growth in spending is not sustainable.”

And Obama would agree with you, in normal times. He believes that deficit spending, in a deadly recession such as this one, is necessary, and trumps the normal concern for deficits. In this, he is in agreement with most every economist in the country – including conservative ones. SUre, maybe a Republican president would have tried to weight the bill a bit more toward giving tax breaks to the wealthy, but massive deficit spending geared toward stimulating the economy, would have been carried out by any responsible administration.

Which is why the arguments that you make fall so flat, except with the fringe groups like the tea party people, or the pure GOP propagandists who value having talking points above having any sort of a coherent policy.
