Eh, no. But I'm laughing and crying at the same time....

This topic needs a new thread.

But I won't forget you, Auraptor. *sigh*

"This economy needs something to step up and lead it forward and it looks like the export sector has become the savior" ... well, yeah ! - look at all the industries and jobs being exported.

You dig up a post started over a fucking year ago ? Man, that's desperate. Very desperate.

Rue - it's only a record defecit if you agree that the Fed has collected record receipts as well. What's good for the goose, ya know...

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

Just following up on something you ran away from, b/c the topic came up again.

You truely are a neurotic fuck. No offense. I didn't 'run away' from anything. After wasting 1/2 a day, and now 3 days removed still, yo'ure talking in circles over basically nothing, I'm realizing you're more than a bit obsessed.

You never did address the questions that were posted to you about the metrics of a "roaring economy". And now that the metrics you were shifting between have crashed, you've avoided the topic completely (economy topics in "... and other outrages").

So, as long as we're exchanging personal pleasantries, does that make you a confused, 'effed-up coward ?

Auraptor, I can't tell which sucks worse: your arithmetic or your logic. Have you ever attempted to balance a checkbook? Do you suppose it's possible that, while receiving the same or less income you could go into debt more than you have ever gone into debt before? Nah..... it'd never happen.....

Confused ? Hell yeah, because there's no question this economy has been doing very well. That you have to go back to dig up a post from 15 months ago to finally spin in your favor, NOW, is pretty fucked up.

You sure seem caught up on the coward thing a bit. Seems that's far more telling of you than anyone else.

btw...exactly how much time did you waste scrolling though past posts to dig up this thread ?

Superlatives, son. Larger economy allows for a bigger defecit, but that defecit will be a smaller % of the budget. It's all been said before, and if you want to play that game again, have at it. I'm done w/ this merry-go-round.
