  • Real GDP for '11? 1.7%!

    You gotta be kidding me! Even with their smoke and mirrors, this is the best they can do? Inflation was twice that. The Obummer economy is killing us!

    This is according to Drudge.

    Looks like the commenters on drudge are as smart as the economists here.

    Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

    You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

      If we could just raise taxes on millionaires, this would all get better....

        I saw that considering our debt and spending, the taxes they would raise from the rich would be like pissing in Lake Ray Hubbard and expecting the level to rise.

          They might get $100 billion if they were lucky. Our yearly deficit is over 15 times that amount, $1.6T I believe.

          The speech the other night was nothing but class warfare. But if you think about it, that is the only thing he can campaign on.

            But keep up with all that necessary spending and dishing out entitlements, right?

              I read an article the GDP was 2.8% for the 4th quarter. At least that is better than the average for the year.

                I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you make less than $250k, your taxes will not increase. It's time people start paying their fair share.
                How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

                  I wonder if he thinks everyone will buy that bullshit again. He probably does. And hell he could be right.

                    Speaking of taxes. It's not Obama, but he is black: Al Sharpton. I'm not sure if you caught this clip or not, but how this dumbfuck still has a TV show is beyond me. What's also funny is him lecturing people on taxes when he owes a million or so in personal taxes and collects a huge salary from his "non-profit" that is in the hole by quite a bit. It is worth your 8 minutes, if you've not seen it.

                      This is going to be how every show on MSNBC is as the election gets closer. They can't talk about anything but class warfare because that is all they have, on any other topic Obama is a failure.

                          What does the fact that 48% don't pay have to do with millionares not paying their fare share? If you think those 48% got it so good then do the same thing and get back to me on that. Also how is it wanting to punish someone by wanting a fair system? And you can't throw in the 35% corporate tax and add them to come up with 44% nonsense. Those are 2 separate issues. It is not a double tax.

                            How is someone not paying anything while others pay millions of dollars "fair"?

                            Oh I know, in the fantasy land that liberals live in, people with a lot of money didn't work for it, it just landed in their laps. They didn't go to school for years, they didn't eat Ramen noodles and work night jobs. They just woke up with money. What a fucking joke!

                              Oh and it is a double tax. Unless you don't understand anything about the stock market and owning shares.
