When the country slides into depression because of obamas tax increases do you think a liberal will ever?

"Nothing else helps unless the wisdom prevails to; seek, see and implement solutions surrendered to; truth, the whole truth, nothing else except but the truth as it is! Because the unreal has no existence and the real never ceases to be, the reality of both has thus been perceived by the seers of Truth!", a quotation of Dr. Singh.

Seasons greetings and best wishes for a happy and prosperous new year!

The country was already in depression. The Bush Cartel and their Corporate friends milked the people of many billions.

The tax increases are just a temporary fix to distract the people once again. Obama is just the poor schmuck stuck with the impossible job.

The mindless masses were in danger of realising the real cause of the problem. Obama will take all the heat, and then be removed, and it will be back to business as usual.

The purpose of allowing Obama is merely to rub a little vaseline on your sore bottoms, before the shafting begins again.

But, no doubt, you'll all bend over - cheering - like before.

Probably. In the current American two-party system, if one party doesn't ever get elected, it'll adjust its policies until the point where it just barely can get elected again.

Each party essentially has to move close enough to the other one to get elected. So the liberal parties will move in the direction of the conservative parties. If no liberal had ever been elected again, you'd essentially have a one-party system, ie. dictatorship.

When and whether the US will slide into depression, and to what extent it'll have been caused by Obama's tax increases, is another, interesting question.

there have been snake oil salesmen since the early 1800s. certainly the election of a marxist as we have now will create some doubt about the liberals, but as evidenced with the bush bashing syndrome, liberals will always want to pass blame. the answer is an unfortunate yes due to the reasons discussed.

Yup! Especially when braintrusts like yourself don't understand what a tax increase actually does. There should be a quiz upon starting an internet browser which when you fail, prevents you from accessing the web. Would save a great deal of unnecessary bandwidth.

it's not going to happen because of a tax increase on the 1%

Government spends on goods and services to create our infrastructure. The accumulation of hundreds of years of spending are the roads and bridges, schools and clinics, parks and monuments, police and fire stations, courts and prisons, but especially the armed services that protect everything else. Spending is good!

We need trillions of dollars for infrastructure improvement. We need more spending, not less. Spending is good!

Government spends too much only when it buys scarce resources that could be better used by the private sector. Our scarcest resource is energy and the only way to increase it is by spending more money on insulation, wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear, coal, and oil energy sources. Spending is good!

Spending uses idle resources to create new resources. Why not use idle resources? Twenty-five million Americans are drawing benefits instead of creating wealth. Most government waste is due to the failure of government to spend money to convert idle resources into wealth. Spending is good!

What’s bad? Borrowing and paying interest to bond-holders is bad. Instead, print the money and use it to turn idle resources into infrastructure. Sure, there are pros and cons. Pro: Heaven on Earth. Con: inflation, if you print or borrow too much money. Since printing is cheaper than borrowing, print!

Government prints too much money only when its money can’t find idle resources. So, when idle resources become scarce and inflation begins, stop printing and raise interest rates! Is this the only thing preventing Heaven on Earth? Yes! It’s that easy. It’s like watering the lawn; when it’s wet enough, stop sprinkling!

And those who depend on the government for their every need - their very well-being, will suffer greatly when the rug is pulled out from under them - - like in Greece. If they voted for the far left candidates, they were digging their own grave.

Sure people forget fast an most don't know the name of there congress person less anything else.

Probably.

Americans are pretty stupid.

Getting America into wars and depressions is what Democrats do best.
