One of Mitt Romney’s top advisers said Saturday that President Obama’s decision to bailout Chrysler and General Motors was actually Romney’s idea. “[Romney's] position on the bailout was exactly what President Obama followed. I know it infuriates them to hear that,” Eric Fehrnstrom, senior adviser to the Romney campaign, said. “The only economic success that [...]
Ignoring the Media vetting a candidate is not the same as them ignoring vetting a candidate
Today, the website BuzzFeed published a clip of the speech along with an article explaining some past and current context for Obama’s remarks. The website claimed the clip was “not previously available online.” The editors at Breitbart.com responded that the video on Buzzfeed had been “selectively edited” and said that they would release the full [...]
Smashing the Laffer Curve
This might very well be a long post (if not a series of posts turned into a quick book). The target of this post is something called the “Laffer Curve”. There’s a few different things this might refer to. Let me lay out a basic level of understanding of this concept now, straight from [...]
He does have to resign first, yes?
m.guardian.co.uk http://m.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/aug/12/rick-perry-climate-sceptics-president?cat=environment&type=article But plugging your ears and going “la la la la” doesn’t make global warming disappear. Perry’s state is getting absolutely hammered by heat and the worst one-year drought in its recorded history. The hot, dry weather in Texas is desiccatingrivers and lakes, devastating farmers and ranchers, and driving wildfires that have burned up [...]
Basic Economic Math for U.S. Americans (re: Taxes, Revenues, Debts, Deficits, and Defaults)
Remember when you were in the seventh, or maybe eight grade, and your teacher came in and said you were going to learn something called “Algebra”? Remember how you were all like, “What could I possibly ever need to know this for?! I’m never going to need to know this stuff!”. Guess what? This week [...]
Paul Ryan “Has Got Some Bibles”, No Word on Whether or Not He’s Read Any of Them
So there’s a meme I’ve been building on for a a while, and it’s how the modern Republican party, guided by the economic “principles” of Ayn Rand (deconstructed here…btw, it’s a hilarious coincidence that Bioshock’s Randroid pro/antagonist has the same last name as the real world subject of this post) is at complete odds with [...]
Moderate Debt Ceiling Rant
I’ll let this guy speak for his own self. Couple other links on the topic…these are largely the symptoms of the above phenomenon. Here’s some general background reading on the changes happening during the period ranted about. Remember how Wisconsin was broke and teachers needed to take a pay and rights cut to balance the [...]
The Obama Doctrine: aka The Golden Rule
I’ve been watching the guy very closely for a while now, read countless articles on his psyche and style, and have seen him apply it when it is most difficult (re:force as to Quadaffi*)…so its plainly evident now…Obama done stole his style from the Bible. * The application of the GR can be very tricky [...]
Derp, Derp House of Reps Passes Lie, Debates a Few More
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the “Job-Killing Health Act Repeal” bill last week. Everyone stand up and give them a big round of applause for wasting everyone’s time and money in doing so. Give them an encore for passing it, even though it’s title was exposed as a lie many moons ago. What CBO [...]
