Will you do us a favor Kachi and with your keen sense of liberal awareness can you you please explain to all of us how George W caused the economic meltdown? and can you also inform us of what "brilliant" solutions Democrats came up with to save us all from the "George W Bush caused economic mess"?
For about all but four posters on this forum, I'd be happy to. Unfortunately, not for you.

Right? You were wrong. They had a supermajority for at least the entire first year of Obama's term. That's not speculation.
It's already been explained why that wasn't the case, sans the point about conservative democrats, who get counted in with democrats but don't actually support a great deal of the democratic agenda.

You said you were "mostly satisfied with the direction the country has been taking since 2008". Mostly satisfied isn't a comparison to some other bad choice. It stands on it's own. I don't think it's wrong for me to question what exactly makes you "mostly satisfied" with the performance of the Dems in the last two years.
Quibbling about semantics. What a surprise. Is that your only trick?
I am mostly satisfied with the direction of the country. Obviously the economy has not recovered yet, but it will. This isn't hard for you to understand unless you want it to be.

I don't believe at all that most people agree that said spending yields a net return at all.
Are you ******** me? You realize how many politicians play up the importance of education spending as a part of their platform? It's because it works. People liked to hear it because they agree with it.

you agreed that those works are meaningless.
No, I didn't. In fact, I argued very plainly that the words mean they are likely to continue to alot federal dollars to the Dept. of Education, who will use it to promote evidence-based recommendations, meaning effective and cost-efficient ones (because that's what they DO). The statement isn't meaningless at all.
