Bush's Shrinking Safety Zone

[headsplice]

Yup. That was, in fact, the point.

The stock market crashed today on bad news that can't be hidden by the government anymore. The market crashed, and, as the oil running up $11 dollars per barrel, we will soon have rises in unemployment and inflation. Way to go, Bush.

This started long before Bush, he just hastened it.

I don't see a previous president running up massive debts and pumping out economics incentives. Both the debts and economics incentive should start resulting in economics taking revenge about ... how about that ... George Jr's money games should start making economic downturns and recessions now.

How curious. tw was warning about this economic penalty when others were hyping Kennedy tax cuts back in 2002 - while ignoring the downturn created by those tax cuts. How curious. Deja vue. Silly tax cuts (without spending cuts) are again created economic problems years later. Oh. George Jr did not create those tax cuts? George Jr did not destroy a budget surplus? George Jr did not fill the world with so many dollars as to create a 40% reduction in American wealth? How curious - these many economic problems discussed (predicted) so many years ago are now happening. But somehow, the mental midget did not create it? One must be both blind and naive to ignore all these economic problems created by President Cheney.

Did we forget the $trillions of debt created by "Mission Accomplished"? Did we forget that "Mission Accomplished" debts do not appear in the budget? More George Jr money games that even Enron could not duplicate.

You did not just start referring to yourself in the third person, did you?

A challenge directed at English teachers. Teachers more concerned with conformity at the expense of clarity. Secondary is using first, second, or third person. Rules of English can be violated for clarity. A law is secondary to the purpose of that law. Irrelevant is whether the object is "I" or 'tw' (first or third person). Those who fear (who advocate blind conformity) would be upset. It bewilders or perplexes English Nazis who are more concerned with rules rather than the logic - the underlying point.

The point remains obvious. Today, the stock market welcomed rumors of increased interest rates. How can that be when the market rallied over lowered interest rates and easy money only months ago? Welcome to the conundrum created because massive economic stimulus by an irresponsible (wacko) administration now means that everything the government does can only make things worse.

Lower interest rates creates more inflation, a lower dollar, higher energy prices, and more money games that mortgage the future and stifle innovation. Raise interest rates only increases the deficit as we sell off more of America, continue to reduce real estate prices (cumulatively) by 40%, and increase bankruptcies. Well, this was the impending disaster that tw was warning about maybe four years ago. Problems created by welfare to the rich (lower taxes) and record high spending that only Republicans advocate. This same warning was coming from so many self made rich men so many years ago. Welcome to what happens because we ate Cheney's apples as the snake (UG, et al) so often advocated. Yes, tw also put the Bible into proper perspective.

Lookout truly believes tw is insane.

Think NAFTA.

[deadbeater]

What did NAFTA has to do with this? Are we exporting incompetent CEO's around the world, or what?

No, just thousands of jobs.

And let's see, just what is going on in China these days? Looks like abandoning Communism as the way of life and adopting capitalism to me. That Communism remains the state religion of the Beijing cadre becomes less and less relevant, as anyone can see.

Nah, headsplice: if you want to be part of the future, abandon leftism and socialism completely. They are keeping you screwed up. But mastering capitalism and at least centrist politics, ah, that will unscrew you nicely.

[classicman]

Oh C'mon Rich - he's been doing that for months! He is T-dub after all!!

[classicman]

I thought Radar was tw's puppet or vice versa - oh well, whatever.

[Urbane Guerrilla]

No, classicman, they are distinct. Radar's eccentric and bullheaded and interested in politics, and you've nailed him as a narcissist; tw is an embarrassment to any cause he espouses and completely untalented at politics, not even to that minimum of being able to get people to enjoy contact with him -- and may be a narcissist. These flaws and communication styles aren't similar enough to posit a single individual behind these two identities.

How many desperate people have wondered in print here if I might be some other Cellarite playing some inscrutable game? They've all had to give the idea up. They tried to find the mask, and what they found was my real face.

[DanaC]

In what way would wondering if you are someone else in disguise, mean that someone was desperate?

This is a message board UG. You are not a cold war spy.
