    First of all, you do not have the ability to recognize truth. Secondly you are promoting one of the most dishonest systems on the face of the planet. What do you know about T R U T H ? Nothing.

    The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) today announced that under the present policies, unemployment will stay at above 8% until the year 2014.

    "How is this not a depression?"

    Ah, Hayek and Keynes. Two great English intellectuals. Shame Keynesian economics has destroyed the modern world.

    Unemployment levels in the United States during the Great Depression reached as high as 25%. http://greatdepression.hubpages.com/hub/Great-Depression-Unemployment


    What may not ever be realized is what the cost in Dollars the Republican 07 Recession would have been had it not been curtailed in June of 09 by the Federal Reserve under Chairman Bernanke but allowed to run a course eventually terminating in a full blown Depression. Only the most illiterate, perhaps those in this thread, would conclude the curtailment of a Recession would cost more than an as yet indeterminable end to an ever deepening Depression lasting countless no. of years in duration would have cost.

    The 2010 elections should never have been decided in the fashion of its outcome, however that is the nature of politics and history is replete with "misguided" outcomes.

    Irregardless the ineptitude of the present Administration to make its case and the pandering of the opposition party responsible for the economic chaos the facts will bear out in History the curtailment of the 07 Great Recession will prove the finest hour of public service a Country can expect from its elected officials.

    The Administration has the time and moral imperative to exert itself for the 2012 elections and deservedly should prevail in the final outcome.

    Americans know the Truth that you hide from Blue Star.

    What is wrong with the above pol is the influence of money and its ability to produce a Tea Party Republican House when the Tea Party Republicans are the ones responsible for the nations economic ills.

    Were the Tea Party an actual third party and for honest constraint in spending and legitimate taxation this summer would have produced results for progress than a step back in the direction of negative growth.

    After 5 (THAT'S FIVE) plus (++++) years of democratic control, it's blatantly obvious where the problem and fault resides.

    The Tea Party Republicans in the House and minority McConnell have this Summer put the economy in a tailspin.

    Mia, it is perhaps a complexity above your grade level but just read the above pol, it will give you in simple terms the answer you are looking for.

    The Tea Party did not even exist when Democrats took over. Keep shifting blame. At some point you and your friends will have to begin to take credit. After nearly 6 years in control of both houses of Congress and nearly 3 years of Obama as president, I think it's time you guys take some responsibility.

    The Tea Party still does not exist - in Congress they are all registered Republicans.

    What do you mean, the House is controlled by the Republicans and they have done nothing to increase employment or manage the economy other than their poorly construed deficit ceiling increase.

    Ok so you are blaming something that "does not exist".

    And breeze, you know what I am talking about when I mentioned democratic control. You can make crap up all you want, but please do not insult my intelligence, or I'm gonna call you on it.

    .....


    AP-GfK Poll: 87% in US disapprove of Congress

    Ok so you are blaming something that "does not exist"

    They are blaming it on what does exist - The Tea Party "Republicans", - it is the Tea Party that does not exist, they were Astoturfed by the GOP.



    The pols seem to indicate the American people are beginning to wake up to the truth.

    An intelligent person will know which party is solving the Problems and which party is the Problem in deciding the 2012 elections - All hale the Liberals.

    Funny, I read that and immediately thought of the National Endowment for the Arts phone conference with reps of the Obama admin, ginning up "Grass Roots" support:

    Its all very seedy, and distasteful, border-lining on nauseating, and it goes on and on and on and on. The quote was only a brief excerpt.

    I'm not sure what is funnier, the hypocrisy of people like these accusing others of being "astro-turf", or the gullibility of people like Breeze who repeat this crap, chapter and verse. He would have made a fine Hitler Youth.

    Breeze's lies have branched into the pathetic.

    The Democratic Depression won't recover until the banks start lending money.

    So, why do you read in entirety what is: seedy, and distasteful, border-lining on nauseating, and it goes on and on and on and on. ???

    What stands out, as usual is you have nothing relative to the topic of the thread to post and simply rely on unseemly and irrelevant vulgarities as an argument for your point of view that likewise has no relevance but to a mindless and useless wondering.

    For the same reason I watch the news and read the paper, despite the fact its mostly murder and mayhem out there. The alternative is to remain uninformed, and therefore mostly ignored.

    In that spirit, you should definitely not read that link. Just pretend it never happened. You are exactly the kind of guy I want defending liberal ideology in American politics. Its people like Earlpearl that concern me. ;)
