FORD did not take the bailout....I guess that is your point. I guess you would have wanted to see GM and Chrysler go under....

You mean the extension of the tax cuts he signed because 1) the House would not let Obama extend the cuts to the middle class and and tax some of the more wealthy at the same time, which would have been more fiscally (tea party ideology right?) responsible thing to do and 2) restoring the pre-Bush cut tax rates would have been just too dampening to the economy at the height of the recession. Pragmatism and a sort of blackmail by the Norquist lap dogs in the Tea Party.

In no way would i want a Dohc chevy go under. Neither the hemi dodge. Did i hint of it in saying that none of the other auto makers didnt take any kind of money from the govmint? They did to a certain point. And that is with their so calledd tax cuts.

What the rest of us would call deductions. others would call tax cuts...i know it sounds ridicules. But considering what obama considers tax cuts for the oil industiries is actually deductions, and obama says they are tax cuts...business deductions are that deductions consideered legal under US tax code.

God forbid some idjit knocks on my door selling something.I've had Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses call me an asshole. That takes some work, I'll tell ya.. You should see my riff on Grandpa from the Simpsons...

Youngsters and "people of age" get to say what they really think and that is a wonderful thing!

The Dems controlled the federal government. They continued the economic policies for the most part.

As did the first black president back when he was in office.

It is amazing how the truth scares the right.

If you think Krugman is a "tool and a national embarrassment" then give me some examples why you believe he is. What did he write that you disagree with. What does he say that you consider to be lies or misleading comments. Were you upset when he was part of the Reagan administration.
