gee. the germans have a world class export based economy that's

the US, with NO unions, is not.


Yeah, and such powerful unions they are.
This union factory worker makes $22,000 a year and the government
taxes more than half of that away for things like his "free" health
care.

Amazing how many people think it is "free" and trust government to do it.

And it is why Obama-democrat debt spending is so bad,

actually it's the bush/paulson spending. obama is spending roughly
what bush spent in his last year in office

but, you see, bush is white

and obama is black...


I would say the US is in for Japans lost decades for decades to come.

uh, hate to inform you

but japan has LESS government spending as a percentage of GDP than we
do

Until the leasons are learned, peoples standard of living will
depreciate as governmetn gets bigger. Just like Cuba or Venezuela.

lessons learned? let's see....

the right winger says because of high govt spending we're going to
wind up like japan

but he's too ****ing stupid to realize japan's govt spending is less
than ours!

the right wing is FILLED with incredible bull****



Paying any attention to Canuck's economic dribblings is no smarter than
paying any attention to John Herring's boating dribblings. Neither of
them have any understanding of the subjects on which they expound.

i generally would ignore the kluxer, but he's too representative of
the tea baggers here in the states. they have their little myths, the
fairy tales they tell to each other....like frightened school children
they invent stories about evil liberals and ignore the sharp fanged
monsters on wall street.

Those who oppose providing decent quality healthcare and decent
retirement possibilities for lower-income workers have no ideas that
will improve the lives of these families. A large percentage of
lower-income workers simply don't have the ability to climb up the
ladder since they must devote all of their time to survival.

Instituting higher tax rates on those who can afford them is a way to
provide the poorer among us with a better quality of life. That, and
cutting the military budget in half would do the job, I am sure.


the right opposes ANY increase in the standard of living for the
middle class

it has never occurred to them that a richer middle class means a
richer america

in that, they are profoundly anti-american

They got sick and they died, w'hine. Is that what you want to say to
those who cannot afford decent medical care or a respectable
retirement...just...die? Poor people are just a commodity to your type,
eh? Use 'em up and then discard them by the side of the road.

Sure there is...you just don't accept the concept of decency towards
your fellow man and woman.

You're speculating about future taxes with no basis for the speculation.
But you're a speculator.

The debt is 14 trillion, they will either have to raise taxes or
monetize the debt and inflate this money away.




?? Not sure what you're trying to say. We're at historically low tax rates.
Taxes will likely rise. Not sure what the national debt has to do with the
strategy I outlined.
