    Time for a new round a tax cuts to spur new economic stimulation. We can only hope the Dem controlled congress will act fast so we can continue the great economy we have enjoyed for the past 3+ years.

    You are freeking insane.

    The old tax cuts are no longer working. We need even more tax cuts now.

    Bill Cinton raised taxes.

    We can always borrow more money so we can grow our way out of this.

    Look over there! Nancy Pelosi is boarding a plane!

    Things couldn’t be better around the Nanlichi house the last three years. We tapped the equity in our house for $100k, bought a ski-boat, and two quads, vacationed in Bora-Bora and put $30k in the bank to make payments. The $30k is about out, but man what a good economy!!!

    The neocons borrowed money, put us in the hole for Bush’s Private and Personal War and at the same time cut taxes on the richest Americans (Nanlichis included BTW) and look at how good the economy is!!

    Pull your head out of your ass RogerRabbit.

    That’s why I sold off some of my stuff today.

    And that’s the whole economy, rich and poor. But we all know that the gap between rich and poor is growing. The gap between Wall Street and Main Street is ever widening.

    Who needs a government takeover of industry, when industry already runs the government? See Jake*ss – you don’t even know what a fascist little f*ck you are – do you junior?

    Yeah, we all know the economy was slow last quarter. But that’s all in the rear-view mirror at this point. consumer confidence numbers this week were huge. People are feeling great.

    That’s the kind of thing that happens in the 2nd longest bull market ever!!!
