Y'all know that this week Obama signed an extension for cash for clunkers, which is designed to fix the flaw of it being too successful, right? And yes, the flaw is that it is too successful. So, try to be informed about the programs flaws before crying about them. And we could argue all day about artificial stimuli if you want to, but HISTORY supports the fact that you need stimuli such as cash for clunkers to help fix economies that have crashed as a result of poor regulation. Look at the Great depression. Here is a chart for you:
FDR comes in in '33, pumps in artificial stimuli, and the economy immediately begins to come back. Things start slipping back in '38, and I know what you will say, it was artificial stimulus, which always eventually falls off. Here's the thing though, everybody says World War II turned it around, but the Lend-Lease act, which was when our industrial involvement in the war began, was in '41. The lend-lease act of course is another government stimulus program, and those programs, as well as our military victory, led us to a full recovery from a depression far worse than today, unless you claim that the boom that lasted until the 1970's was artificial. I can't believe I have to teach some of you such a basic thing to open your eyes about how stupid and uninformed you are on stimulus spending, and how it helps the economy.
IT GOT US OUT OF THE GREAT DEPRESSION.
Oh, and what if there was no stimulus spending like FDR created? Look at the chart from '29-'33. That's what happens. What a great idea that was!
Commercial D, I appreciate your attacks on my personal character, and just plain namecalling. Its all been done, and is cheesy and played out, not to mention inaccurate, at this point.
I'm not a teacher, I am studying social science education at a school ranked 3rd for this program in the country. They seem to think I know about this shit, and I believe them FAR more than somebody who is certain that 9/11 was an inside job, and that any day, George Bush is going to declare himself dictator.
But you attacked my job, where do you work? Is it whole foods? I could never imagine you whoring yourself for them so hard otherwise.
But if we are talking about cookie cutter political nutbags, why is it you flip out, try to post facts (of course saying "it is common knowledge outside of the US that 9/11 was the burning down of the reichstag" is not a fact at all, despite you trying to pass it off as one) and post multiple videos every time I tease you for your 9/11 conspiracy theory moronic bullshit? Just face it dude, you are in no place to act like some expert who understands what is common sense politics, and what isn't, when you believe in these in-depth, ridiculous conspiracies, that involve everybody from George Bush to Noam Chomsky. Also, I would be willing to bet $1000 you have never once read anything that stands by the fact that 9/11 wasn't a conspiracy. You had your opinion fed to you so hard, its ridiculous that you would even think of calling anybody else out as a cookie cutter this or that.
Now I know, you will come back and try and prove your bullshit theory again, but it will make you look stupid and out of touch with reality again, even though you will pat yourself on the back and claim victory.
I think it is funny how you now are saying safeway is overpriced for what it is, and that it is a COMPLETELY different thing than whole foods, which sells expensive versions of the same shit to idiots. In the conspiracy theorists world, do you practice backpeddling as smoothly as you can, or is it just something that comes naturally to you?
