Your use of language designed to be offensive doesn't intimidate me. It just make me think you're an idiot who knows his arguments are so weak he has to back them up with such words. Your presumption that it is intimidating demonstrates your reasons for using it. I hadn't actually considered any of it intimidating until you wet 'em and whined about it. And if the argument is so weak how come you haven't refuted it? While I agree that it's much easier to cast insults about failure and presumption it only makes you look a cnut. Some more. |

Oh. Oh the irony of Rupert Murdoch saying we've been living above our means. There's few people on the planet who have done more to entrench the rightwing, Tory, free market economic dogma that caused all this.
The second bloke is partly right and partly wrong. Obviously the income of nations is going to go down, but for many people (the majority) in stable jobs, the recession is quids in time.

Our government has a brilliant idea to get us out of debt - let's spend more money that we don't have!
After the financial bailout fiasco (which didn't help the economy one jot) they now want to put through another $850 billion "stimulus" package, which includes several million for reproductive education or some crap, a cool billion for a census and other inane ideas. We don't even have the money for it, meaning we'll be borrowing from China again to pay it off, which entails about 350 billion additional in interest payments alone. These people in Washington are completely mental.
To their credit, every Republican (and 11 Democrats) voted against it in the House.
