So lie, not so fast...

I'm not going to wade into the reasons for the housing crisis again. There are hundreds of pages on this site alone and my position is clear.

And you need anger management therapy. I'm really concerned you're not going to be able to make it until November.

"There's certainly plenty of neutral economic analysis to defend his assertion"

His assertion is that trickle-down economics caused the recession. Spence, what is the "nuetral" data to support that?

If anything, it was trickle-up economics that caused this, namely, people at the bottom half of the scale spending more money than they shoiuld.

Spence, have you or Obama never heard of something called the "subprime mortgage crisis"? How did "trickle down economics", or tax cuts, cause that? Remember, in your last post, it was you who said that tax cuts had a "tremendous" impact on the recession, and I dispute that.

"you need anger management therapy"

Spence, you jumped the shark with that insipid coment about whites who oppose gay marriage being equivalent to those who wear "God hates fags" tshirts. That was your lowest moment on here, but hardly new territory for you. I'm not angry at all, but I have no more patience for the likes of you, and I'm taking the gloves off. I will expose your unsupported, deranged, ranting every chance I will get, because it's intellectually dishonest, cowardly, and not in any way productive in terms of solving real problems. If you don't like it, then put some small bit of reason in something you say.

We have srious problems to solve. You and your ilk deny the very existence of those problems (meaning, you deny that medicare is in huge trouble), and worse, you demonize people like Paul Ryan who propose solutions.

We have serious problems. We don't have any more time for charlatans who demonize those who try to propose honest solutions, rather than propose alternate solutions.

Paul Ryan: Medicare is in serious economic danger, it needs to be fixed in order to be saved. I propose one solution that addresses the problem...

Liberals: See? Paul Ryan hates sick people!

Do you really, really not see anything wrong with that dialogue Spence?

Don't worry about me. Not only will I "make it" to November, I'll be sitting pretty. The most forseeable, preventable economic crisis imaginable is coming. Your political bretheren have driven us to the edge of a precipice, and rather then steer away, they want to accelerate. If that's what you're going to do with our economy, those that see it coming and act rationally, will weather the storm just fine.

Spence, perhaps you have heard of the "tech bubble crisis", and the "subprime mortgage crisis". The next one will be worse, and it will be called somethiing like the "sovereign debt crisis". Your side has, for some reason, been successful in telling people not to worry about the fact that the dike is cracking and starting to leak. You can say "notihng to see here" all that all you want, but the physical laws of our world don't care about politics.
