I'm afraid he won't be able to. Anyway you want to slice it, there is not
enough smoke, nor enough mirrors, to hide the fact that Reagan and the two
Bushes are responsible for the surge in Federal Debt. I doubt it's an
accident. Bankrupting the country is a way to get rid of all those pesky
social programs, like education, social security, etc. etc.

Now, John, the following link looks at the debt in enough different ways,
that only those in true denial will not admit it's Reagan and the two
Bushes baby.

Yes -- You have now proved that you cannot follow even your own logic.
The question involved economics. You presented a desenting opinion, yet
are unable or unwilling to show proof of anything other than that when
pushed into a corner, you resort to personal attack.


Where, pray tell, is a personal attack? The brain vs body weight analogy was
*not* an attack. Hell, the same idea is true of any human. I showed how a
comparison of two quantities by using a ratio will hide a lot of information,
such as the actual quantities involved.
And this has what to do with economics?

Did you organize one of these?

Nope -- but as stated earlier, I will be attending one. Nice try at
changing the topic though

It is, indeed. And by his own admission, he is lousy at it. According to
Herring, he is a substitute teacher for the Fairfax County, Virginia,
school system, and when he is assigned a job, he mainly babysits his
charges. He also makes racially based comments about the black students
he babysits. All in all, he's a piece of work. Oh, and that whining
about social security...Jim is on a military pension. But we'll leave
that for another day.

Jim(H) is on a military pension

You're the one who brought up the 'personal attack'. I've pointed out that it's
not possible to discuss your 'chart' when the data (economic or otherwise) is
distorted. I've given you an example of the distortion.

You also brought up attending church to pray for the quick return of our
soldiers. That's something we all pray for, at least those of us who pray. There
are, in our midst, several libs who have strongly expressed their disbelief in
such activities.

Interesting.

Given that you failed to post any data supporting your position, I'll
use what Harry Posted

Which I sure don't intemperate as supporting your argument.
