You insisted on dictating which subjects were worthy of discussion in this thread, and since it was my thread, I'm not about to let you do that. So the thread is now yours. Feel free to discuss whatever you want. It seems like all you really want to do is bash Obama, so bash away to your heart's content. I'm probably going to resurrect my News Junkie blog/thread in the Liberals Only section, where you are not allowed. That way I can post about the subjects that interest ME without having you poo poo them as insignificant, without you calling me childish names, and without you spamming the thread with the same old crap over and over. Enjoy yourself. I even unlocked it for you. Did someone say something? Obama has lied that if we cut government spending, economic growth will collapse. Strange, that's exactly what happened under Clinton, thanks to Gingrich & Repubs, and the economy boomed. Since 1970, all six instances when our government got larger as a percent of GDP, the unemployment rate went higher. All six times when government got smaller as a percent of GDP, our unemployment rate went lower. This relationship between the relative size of government and unemployment can be described by a "Federal Spending-Unemployment Rate Rule" with a fairly high 0.80 correlation. Put simply, that means that changes in spending as a share of the economy explains 80% of the change in unemployment. http://news.investor...nemployment.htm Marxists can't fathom that.
