Shame you cant hold the "guy" in your editorial to the same standards you hold me and others here with whom you might disagree and badger him to cite sources for his claims. But of course, since you agree with him, who needs cites!

Here is the issue.

The economy is fucked up more than anytime in our lifetime and getting worse.

There are three basic ways to "fix" it.

1) Do nothing and it will fix itself.

2) Stimulate the economy with tax cuts....the supple side/trickle down theory.

3) Stimulate the economy by creating jobs through government spending...the great depression/new deal theory.

If you like the first...provide any evidence that it will work.

Same with the second....show how the failed supply side solution will work this time.

I think the best option is the third and the non-partisan CBO agrees. Their analysis projects a potential impact of creating up to 3 million jobs in the the fist 18 months. And as I said, there are no guarantees...economics is not an exact science.

The current mix of 60% spending/40% tax cuts would even be ok with me.

Its easy to keep crying "bullshit"...its tougher to propose a solution.

You are great with the superficial one lines (what change, where's the beef, its all BS, its all the Dems fault for the last two year, stats are lies)

You certainly havent shown much depth of discussion.

So whats you're solution? Simple question...no bullshit, please!

How would you suggest fixing the economy?

I'll even make it easy for you...pick a number:
1) do nothing
2) tax cuts
3) government spending
4) none of the above
5) all of the above
6) i have no fucking idea..i just like being negative
..and support it with objective primary sources, not editorials like the above, which by their very nature are biased and never cite sources.

Demonstrate to the dwellers that you really arent as superficial and negative as you come across.
