But do you have any opinion on the drivel opinion column you posted? How does what that writer says relate to what I wrote? Are you saying the writer speaks for you? A guy that's wrong about the financial world 60% of the time?

Or can't you do anything more than ad hominem?

Again: nice of you to post an opinion column filled with assumptions and guesses by a self-employed "economist" with a 60% economic prediction error rate. It was interesting.

What do YOU think, for example, about the vote being taken this evening in the House. Do YOU think the vote should be yes or no?

I would discuss it with you if you understood what he was talking about which you clearly dont.

Well, that makes it easy. Ad hominem only it is Too bad. In your desperation to use bad logic to prove that the deficit is the biggest problem in this country, I'd like to know what you think about the Fed giving Europe $1 trillion? Because, you know, we are so broke and all.

after post 39 in this thread, you should be forced to retire. Blame it on a bowed brain tendon.

The funny thing is that I used that article because it pretty reasonably explains the issue of national debt in terms most reasonable people can understand. It isnt political in nature, explains its assumptions and why it is making them and more or less shows that the best answer in the long term is to change the system as opposed to what the politicians will do which is try to manage it in short term (for political gain). Naturally Riot (mostly because she doesnt understand economics at all) finds things like Austerity is bs, the writer is an idiot, I'm using "bad logic" whatever that means, etc.

Well, not exactly, but don't let that stop you from falsely characterizing.

Look: whenever you don't like what someone posts, you pull out some obscure opinion piece and present it as inalienable fact. It's what you do.

As I said: Nice opinion column. Lots of assumptions and illogical leaps there, so it's basically nonsense, but thanks for posting it.

Go ahead and tell me what you didnt agree with.

And lets be serious, on a regular basis you post inane bullshit from daily kos and motherjones which is mostly outright lies and voodoo bs appealing to the morons that follow those sites as actual news or analysis.
