It?s amazing that many of our most pressing problems were tackled by the ancients. Will we ever learn?

“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society” – Aristotle (384-322 BC)

Europe's greatness was destroyed by socialism and stupid immigrationm policy.

Isn't America headed down the very same road?

Is there even one person who believes America is better off now with 9.6 percent U-6 unemployment, 45 million on food stamps, 94 million out of the workforce, 19 trillion in debt, and 12 million illegal immigrants wanting amnesty to lure in more illegals to drive down wages?

[Dogzilla]

And all under republican leadership! Well-done, GOP!

[sillydaddy]

Republican leadership??
Dog finally lost the flimsy grasp he had on reality :lol: :lol:

[Dogzilla]

Oh really....Maybe you can elaborate.
This should be good.

[sillydaddy]

Yes of course......I'm saying you're nuts :lol: :lol:

[Dogzilla]

So....You've proven my point.

[johnforbes]

In the eternal quest for wisdom, it has always been a tossup between:

1) The Analects.

2) This forum.

[Dogzilla]

See, John.....He can't answer my request. He knows he'll incriminate himself. See if you can urge him on.

[sillydaddy]

Well Dog.....unless you just arrived here from another planet....you have seen what has '
happened in this country since Obama became President.....
johnforbes outlined it for you....
To start Obama was given the Presidency, a Noblel, and a Congress and he did nothing but divde
the country and blames the Republicans every chance he gets.
If fact, Obama is at this very moment engaged in doing damage control in Dallas caused by his own rhetoric..

[Dogzilla]

You're hedging, Silly.

I've seen a lot of improvements in the country during Obama's tenure. Getting over the last repulican recession is not an instant thing. The TeaTards have had power in congress, but what have they done, other than block Obama's every plan, and shut down the government, and pursue Hillary for their list of perceived wrongs?

[johnforbes]

What request?

Although I do read everything on the Internet every day, every now and then some item escapes my hawk-like vision.

[sillydaddy]

You've .."seen a lot of improvements to the country??...."

So you think Obama giving crossdressers the OK to use public ladies rooms is an improvement to the country? :lol: :lol:

[Dogzilla]

The fact that you see that as one of our major problems tells us all we need to know.

[sillydaddy]

You of course, see it as one of our major improvements! that tells us what we have suspected all along.. :lol: :lol:

[Dogzilla]

You always just make shit up as you go. Typical.

[johnforbes]

Hope you were joking about "republican recession" because that is:

1) Silly.

2) Post hoc fallacy of mistaken causality.

A president may influence GDP growth in various policy ways such as tax levels, or by pressing forward socialism as Obama did with Obamacare (id est, redistribution of wealth), but otherwise...

[Clownkicker]

johnny, when a President starts an elective $2 trillion dollar war and then a Republican Congress refuses to raise taxes to pay for it, and the Republican Congress also fails to regulate financial institutions adequately to prevent a global economic meltdown, then yeah, it's a Republican recession.

[johnforbes]

But that's just partisan politics, and any investor will inform you that you'll always have that.

An investor must pursue affluence across decades, not years, and that means good and bad presidents, Dems, Repubs, and even leftists like Saint Barry.

So calling it a "republican recession" is one of those labels which would impress people in high school, but not anybody who really invests.

[Dogzilla]

I could suggest a couple of things that you should invest in!

[johnforbes]

Go ahead, kiddo.

I buy every month.

I'd suggest that anybody who thinks in simplistic terms such as "republican recession" invest in a few courses in economics and finance.

In the alternative, you'll have to depend upon your defined benefit pension from the county/state with all the budgetary strictures in that.
