The credit bubble caused by Bush's 1% interest rates dwarfs the losses in the Clinton bubble. The losses under Bush stretch throughout America as it involves homes and mortgages and personal credit plus the inflationary costs of the weak dollar caused by printing cheap money. The .com bubble losses were limited mainly to investors who could afford to lose it. The current credit bubble is thirty odd times bigger than the .com losses at least.

Define "harder to manage."

2. WHAT QUESTION DO YOU WANT ME TO ANSWER?!?! I said that you cannot possibly have tax cuts AND increased spending and expect to have trickle down economics work....is that not an answer to your question....I don't think you even remember what you fucking asked me.....and if you don't accept my response this time you are retarded.

Here's the question again :

2. Does it bother you that a trillion dollar a year revenue shortfall caused by tax cuts for the top 1% is going to be be met by raising taxes yet again on low/middle income earners?

This question has nothing to do with whether you can have tax cuts and increased spending and everything to do with how do you personally feel that Bush is currently dumping what looks like a future 25% tax increase disproportionately on middle/low income Americans.

3. If you can see the future then you're a better man than me because I believe the future is what we make it and not what is handed out to us....yes Bush put us in a hell of a hole in Iraq but it's not the end of the world and it's not going to be the end of Iraq or the Middle East or the issues there....need I remind you it was YOUR country who fucked up Iraq to begin with (modern day of course...it's been pretty violent since the dawn of man but I suppose you hold that against America as well.....I wouldn't be surprised if you did).

As for modern day Iraq, it was BRITAIN AND NOT AMERICA who fucked all that up...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British...of_Mesopotamia

Britain actually made a brilliant job of Iraq. They managed to stitch together a bunch of warring regions of the Ottoman empire and keep control of a chunk of the greatest strategic prize in history throughout most of the twentieth century and keep the region stable. It kept the Sunni/Shia balance in the Arab world carefully poised so that nobody got too powerful. Then dumbass George went in and screwed it all up in five minutes bringing unending unpleasant consequences for us in the region. Although our leader was dumb enough to trust Bush so we're not entirely blameless.

4. MY taxes haven't increased and as I have said numerous times before GEORGE W. BUSH HAS AN IDIOTIC ECONOMIC POLICY BECAUSE HE SPENDS LIKE A LIBERAL YET TAXES LIKE A CONSERVATIVE


Are we done yet? Or are you pissed off because now I might have given your country a little blame in Iraq I suppose you are but it's true oh yes it is...you tried to make Iraq the new India and it worked just about as well.....so thanks for creating a big pile of shit for AMERICA to fix.....you Brits can just sit back on your asses and wait for us to fix everything AGAIN.....for at least the third time


have a nice day
Your taxes have increased. You weren't given a tax cut, you were given a tax shift -- your taxable liability has been moved from the present to the future as they were made with borrowed money. So you're going to have to pay them back with interest, mainly to the Chinese at whatever rate of interest they're demanding to hold weak dollar assets in a few years.


Define "fix."
