morethanpretty posted more supporting facts. An example of what informed people do. Contrary to wacko extremist rhetoric, TARP may have been so carefully implemented as to maybe make a profit.

More examples of why George Jr’s extremist agenda created current, massive deficits and so many other problems are listed in Fracking - where is it headed ?. You ignored reality then. And you will ignore reality now.

You still do not even give one good reason for your beliefs.

Long term damage due to the political agenda was defined years ago. Recession created by tax cuts and fiscal mismanagement was predictable. We are now suffering consequences of George Jr’s ‘welfare to the rich’ (and other lies including Mission Accomplished). All directly traceable to extremism that now praises Palin and O’Donnell.

So where are your facts? Again I call upon you to post supporting facts. You don’t. You cannot. Again you ignore so much damage to America summarized here. Instead you are doing it again. Facts replaced by soundbyte accusations and personal insults. Where are your facts? Why do I keep asking? Why do you even deny this long history?

The 1990s were the longest period of growth in American history. What did Clinton do early in his administration? He raised taxes. Why do extremists so conveniently forget that? Using your soundbyte reasoning, a tax increase created jobs. Reality. A balanced budget created many years of economic prosperity. Tax cuts – welfare to the rich – have a history of creating, many years later, one of the worst recessions in American history. How convenient that you ignore facts.

America is finally in a long term process of fixing its fiscal mismanagement. It will take a decade. Money games - ie tax cuts for the rich - were never a solution.

What creates jobs? When the richest have a smaller percentage of the wealth. When the people who create most jobs - the other 98% - are wealthier. What happened to the other 98% due to tax cuts and other lies? Their income dropped 2%. Just another reason for job losses. How to make a prosperous America with more jobs? Wealth among those with lowest incomes must increase at the expense of the wealthiest.
