The article I read said something like, "even when looking for dark clouds, all you find are silver linings" or something like that. :) We've just entered the 6th year of a lackluster recovery. The unemployment rate is finally reaching the point where we'll start to see upward pressure on...

Get off my lawn!

I was thinking you had good taste in music. Now I'm not so sure. :) Is it time to say something about global warming to help ensure thread integrity? It's cool in Ohio on the 4th of July, therefore Global Warming is a hoax. :)

If no one minds. I get a kick out of checking the links youtube puts up after a video. Clapton and Winwood reunited. And Winwood still has that voice! Pretty soulful for a white guy. :)

First offl, I know this is the healthy eating section but where else to put something about food? Saying something good about Pizza Hut is almost as bad as complementing Dominos. But I just had Buffalo Wings from Pizza Hut and they're very good. They do them right. Deep fried and then dipped...

I like the last thing you said there. I don't think it's possible to establish that reduced unemployment now is due to cutting off benefits, but I sure can't say you're wrong. The Cons contributing to the economy and their country... What's this world coming to? :) As for the rest of what...

Your "facts" are coming from the heritage foundation? That's funny. :) Without delving too deeply into this because frankly it's not worth the effort. The Reagan recession and this one are not the same. The Reagan recession had that bizarre double digit inflation problem. An extra problem...

Well at least you mentioned the 2 wars, that's more honest than many on the right. You did leave out the financial meltdown and what that cost. Luckily we had a mostly Keynesian response, but we could have done much better if the lunatic right wing extremists hadn't gotten involved. The Tea...

Yeah, I didn't think you'd be up for it. Look, I'm not trying to put you out or anything but I don't recall your ever explaining trickle down economics and I especially don't recall your ever even making an attempt at explaining how it's benefited the American people. Like I said I'm not...

Rather than accuse me, yet again, of not knowing anything about economics, why don't you take a crack at explaining what trickle down economics is and maybe you'd even like to explain how it's benefited the American people? I'll give you a hint: you should probably start with an explanation of...

So sorry but what you described is not trickle down economics. I assume you're a 99 percenter. What you described is a 99 percenter hiring out work to other 99 percenters. That's not trickle down, that's just getting work done around the house. The sick joke that is/was trickle down...

But the real question is, do you feel better now? :) People are flawed. People in government are flawed. In fact, people in government are probably more flawed because no one in their right mind would put up with the abuse that the more visible members of the government have to put up with...

The fact that you van guys fly under the radar like you do I think will keep you valuable. But it might just be that I notice more since I've been hanging around this forum, but aren't there an awful lot of vans out there? I pull into a truck stop there's a few out front. I stop at Home Depot...

Social Security was designed to be changed and they were up front about that. It was phased in over time. I would guess the same is true with medicare and medicaid but I'm just guessing. I haven't followed either of those programs very closely. Obama's gaff? Yup, it was a stupid thing to...

You're joking, right? You left out the part the Great Recession has played. I suppose an economy left in ruins in 2008 is just a minor detail but not mentioning it throws the rest of your words in the trash bin. The Laffer curve (originally developed by Muslims btw, you might want to alert...

I hate it when they change the rules after you sign up for something.

When I said uneasy alliance, I was referring to the natural alliance between the Koch brothers and libertarians and how living off the grid is (according to the article I read) a popular thing with them. So the Koch brothers teaming up with utils and grabbing a little clip probably feels to the...

Not the least bit naive. In fact I read an interesting article not long ago about the uneasy alliance between the Koch brothers and the utilities companies regarding monthly fees for unplugging. Sorry but I don't have a link. The upshot was that it places Governors (and they mentioned Arizona...

Do you realize how terrible the automobile was when it first came out? They had to rebuild the engines after just a few hundred miles. My dad told me several times about how they used to file down spark plugs to try and get the contraptions to run. Remember points? I do. Cars in the 60s...
