I sincerely appreciate the correction. While the source was incorrect, the quote yet remains 100% true. You will never tax your way to prosperity and you'll achieve nothing by demonizing the wealthy.

Here's another quote you're sure to enjoy. Google it to your hearts' content.

FDR's treasury secretary, Henry Morgenthau, wrote in his diary: "We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. ... We have never made good on our promises. ... I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started ... and an enormous debt to boot!"


If only the left and Odumbo could prove me wrong with jobs and prosperity instead of empty rhetoric and blame, I'd gladly admit to being wrong. Until then, I voted the bastards out November 2nd and it felt great. Expect it again in 2012.

I really don't understand why Ameri-marxists don't vote with their feet and move to already-socialist Europe...just try to avoid Greece...they're having a bit of trouble.

QM, instead of reading whatever right wing blog all these slogans are coming from (Ameri-marxists? HAH GOLD!), can you take the trouble to pick up a copy of The Economist one week? This week's edition will do you quite well. They're economically right and socially left.

I think what you'll find is that most pragmatists regardless of their economic persuasion have realized 3 things about the current economic situation in the US:

1) Keynesian monetary policy works and that no sensible economist believes that the stimulus has not helped to reduce unemployment from the much higher level 12/13%+ it would have reached otherwise.

2) Spending will have to be trimmed in social security/medicare/medicaid/pensions and defense, and the retirement age will no doubt rise.

3) The Bush tax cuts were the single biggest contributors to the expansion of the federal debt from a balanced budget before the global financial crisis hit. Over time, taxes will have to rise to cope with the costs of medicare/pensions because of an ageing population.

As a proud member of the Ameri-marxist party, I only stay in the USA to annoy the Conserva-rapists and Republi-pedophiles.

quantumushroom do you really believe Obama would have made a move at trying to buy the banks if they were not about to go bankrupt and potentially put the nation into a great depression. He is not a socialist, he is a realist, and Republicans love to victimize him for it, and convince people like you he is 'Socialist' 'Muslim'. It's silly and I feel bad for Obama he probably thought our country was better than that.

Forget for a moment that Obama grew up around and among angry leftist radicals and his past is well-hidden by compliant MSM.

Why would anyone think nationalization is going to save anything? The soviet union--with natural resources far greater than the US--was 100% nationalized and failed. Yes we were told that only by thugverment spending money would we all be saved from another Great Depression (which was actually prolonged by thugverment spending).

"Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR's treasury secretary, Henry Morgenthau, wrote in his diary: 'We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. ... We have never made good on our promises. ... I say after eight years of this administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started ... and an enormous debt to boot!'"


Yes, Bush the half-servative was responsible for the first round of failouts. Obama just greatly expanded on his predecessors' failure.

Just an idea, don't have a guy named Shiner as your PR man.


Ya, Spinner would be more appropriate.
