More "unexpected" bad economic newsFollow

Xsarus,



Why the h*ll not? You liberals kept lying that W was just lowering taxes for the rich. You liberals lie about the GOP wanting to cut medicare and medicaid.

The GOP needs to be screaming at the top of their lungs that Obama wants to end W's tax cuts and increase taxes on millions of americans who are facing the worst economy since the great depression. Isn't that what the Democrat congress kept pounding into the american psyche a good 2 years before the recession hit. Not only that but the Democrats actively saw to it that the economy would tank so as to position the US to elect a radical liberal.

Like I said we need to be screaming that the Democrats are raising taxes and let every person who takes that increase judge for themselves whether they want to continue to support these legislators.

If Democrat congressmen can assault people for asking them questions they don't want to hear then surely the GOP can refer to these expiring tax cuts as tax increases.

No. You made a statement which had a pretty clear meaning. But now you want to pretend you didn't really say it. But while insisting that you didn't mean what you said, you continue to refuse to provide an alternative meaning. Pretty weak really.




Not going to play 20 questions with you Joph. I'll just assume that your unwillingness to provide an alternative meaning to the one I and likely every other reader assumed when you wrote your earlier statement(s), means that you really did mean to make the absolutely stupid comment you made.


Next time (and there will be a next time), how about if you're going to try to backpedal out of a dumb comment, you at least try to come up with an explanation? This is like the third or fourth time we've played this game, and it's just getting more fun each time. If you're unwilling to be held accountable for your words, then maybe you should stop and think before posting. Just a thought.

No, seriously, there's nothing wrong or even overly confusing about what I wrote. If I keep trying to repeat it and you keep going "WTF??? This makes no sense!!" then eventually I have to assume that you're either retarded, not trying or are using feigned ignorance to avoid it. In none of those cases is it worth my time to continue.

But I'm glad you've declared yourself the "winner" via your inability to understand concepts. Congratulations.

*Shrug*

You not liking Obama doesn't mean that analysts should have predicted that a continuing upward trend in home sales was going to drop off in May.

Fair point. They should have been able to do that completely absent retarded forum posters. When incentives lapse, action declines. I'll give you just one guess at what will happen the next time they put in an incentive to buy homes. I'll even give you a hint: sales will go [rhymes with pup].

I was under the impression that they were measuring on contracts written, not closings. Contracts had to be in place in April.

EDIT: to clarify, I missed that sentence.

I'm sure the Chinese would be more than happy to loan us more money.

It sounds as though the credit itself was extended but I won't pretend to really be in the loop:

Thanks for the snicker...:)

The article in the OP is already gone. The media has apparently moved on to trying to make us believe that unemployment is on the decline.

Edit - I didn't get the necro-post warning >.<

I like this thread having more than 1 varus account posting in it.

The economy has been getting worse for about fifteen years now, so why should anything change?

Hint: I'm referring to the ~8% annual inflation on consumables, on average, over the last fifteen years. You want to see one of the big reasons why nobody making over $100k/year is managing to get anywhere, there you have it.

Fingers crossed for necro-related bannination.
