This from the guy who doesn't trust the National Bureau of Economic Research (the nonpofit organization officially in charge of declaring a recession) to declare a recession!

So, since I've had such difficulty pinning you down on (1) how to measure "the economy" (which was by YOUR metric "on fire"... if you were willing to "cherry pick" for positive indicators!) (2) adjusting values (such as the stock market and Federal Revenue) for inflation and (3) taking a theoretical approach to economics...

What is YOUR definition of a "depression"? What indicator or combination of indicators will YOU use to decide whether we are "there" or not, and at what value(s) would YOU be willing to recognize it? (And no, Rush Limbaugh doesn't count as an indicator.) This is for measurement purposes only.

That was fuckin' funny. Thanks for the laugh.


You do realize that just saying saomething is fact doesn't make it so, right? It actually has to have things like evidence, and be, ya know - ACTUAL FACT.

Your typical schtick is to look at actual facts - verifiable data posted by others, and go "Nuh-uh." And then make some broad claim, usually without ANY factual backing, and call it a fact.

Ideological differences aside, your presentation of "facts" betrays you as either a pathological liar, or borderline functionally retarded.

Like the "100% fact" that 95% of "them" don't pay any income taxes, eh?

And all the other "facts" that you've been 100% wrong about? Oh yeah - you were "typing too fast", "sleep deprived", "mislead by the media" - but NEVER were you flat-out wrong, and never, ever did you lie. Yeah, right...except for when you were, and when you did.

Yeah, you and the "facts" have a pretty tenuous relationship on your BEST day.

I give 100% facts, isn't to say that I give facts 100% of the time. But why is it that I can screw up on that figure, 95% don't pay taxes, and you jump all over me, when Obama doesn't get the same sort of treatment when HE says something equally absurd, that 95% of US Taxpayers will get a tax cut. That's a unconscionable lie, and yet you folks buy it, hook, line and sinker.

No consistency with you types, none at all.


Meanwhile, here's a fact. I paid $ 1.83 for gas today. Thanks to Bush and Congress for removing the ban on off shore drilling, the gas prices have come steadily down ever since.

Funny how if you do it, it's just a screw up (even though it was a proovable falsehood, which you claimed as FACT when you MADE IT UP), but when Obama does it, it's an "unconscionable lie" (even though it is, for the most part, accurate).

Not that you will recognize the double-standard.

But you are consistant, I'll give you that. You are consistantly full of shit. And, oddly enough, the actual consistancy of shit.

In short, you are, and seem determined to remain - a first class liar.

You never DID look that up did you ? It's true, you just have to look to find out the FACTS.

Oh, and people rightly think you're a nutcase for assuming - even as a rough guess - that 95% 'of 'them' don't pay taxes. It's so outrageously off the mark (or blatantly racist) that it reveals your big distance from reality (or your racism - take you pick).

Just your claiming that it's false implies it is true, given your "wrong on everything" standard.

But go for it, show us some of your "facts" to back that. It always brings a laugh.

And your LIE is still a LIE, independant of what Obama said.

Wow.

You meant all taxpayers when you lied about 95%.

Just WOW.

At least when it sounded like you were limiting it to one group, it seemed like maybe you just had your numbers wrong. But now you've made it clear that you meant everyone, every tax payer (apparently you missed the oxymoron inherent to your statement, as well). It shows how really, really stoooopid your original claim was.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Though you really ought to reconsider your usage of the word "moron" when posting something so dumb.

Only i never lied. It was a mistake . 40% of tax payers don't pay federal income taxes, not 95% . ( We're close to 1/2 of all tax payers not having to pay fed income taxes, which is a goal of the Left, but I digress ) No oxymoron inherent in my statement, what so ever. It's clear you just like making up shit and interjecting it as you beat a dead horse.

I can say 95% and be vilified for it, called names, but when Obama says it, and he's unquestionably lying , he's exalted, praised and even voted into office.

Double standard on y'alls part is undeniable.

You're the stooopid ones, You're the morons, moron.

That's the best you can do?

Once again - when you do it, you say it's a mistake, when someone else does it - baldfaced lie.

And the only reason you were villified, is that you claim to ALWAYS use hard facts, and you got caught making it up, plain and simple.

And then, you keep accusing ME of making shit up. Please, name one instance of this.

And there was an oxymoron there, dipshit. Just becuase you don't see it, doesn't mean it's not there.

Here, let me spell it out for you. You said: 95% Taxpayers weren't paying taxes.

That is an oxymoron by definition, you blithering halfwit.

If you're going to call others stupid, you might just want to put a little effort into sounding coherent in your attempt. Oh, and actually having real info, not made up AUfacts would help, too.

But you're obviously avoiding the question.

Since you said we weren't "anywhere near" a depression, I got the impression you knew where it was and if we were getting close. So, what is your definition of a depression? How we will know whether or not we're "close" to one, actually in it, or far far away?

Okay, one last try.

I think you're afraid that I'm going to take your definition, rip it off ya and beat you over the head with it. Play twenty questions to corner you into saying that we ARE in a depression, or pick it apart and then imply you're a moron.

I personally don't think I'm THAT smart. And since I myself didn't know what a definition for "depression" might be I had to go look it up on the inet. By any definition I could find I agree with you: We're not anywhere close to being in a depression. (I think we're headed in that direction, but... not there yet.)

But what I'd simply like to know is: What is YOUR signpost for an economic depression? GDP falling more than X%? Unemployment above Y%? Bankruptcies greater than Z%? Two of three? Something else? I just want to get a sense of your "metric" so if we approach that tipping point in the future we'll be comparing apples to apples.

Rapy is ignoring several very simple, direct questions.

He'll call names though. Cause it makes him feel like less of a coward.

I'm ignoring nothing. And you're the coward, that's not name calling either. That's just a fact.

Hey, man. You're the one not answering the questions, over and over.

i know this is the thing you can't stand to hear - but just because you claim something, doesn't make it true.

You are actuially displaying cowardly behavior, I'm just pointing it out.

On the flip side, I asked you to point to one instance where I did the same, or in any way earned the title coward, and you not only didn't provide it - but simply insisted it was true because you said it was.

You ae truely, staggeringly, pathetic.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Okay, I guess Rapo's silence speaks for itself.

Silence is the only thing of substance he has to say.

I have a vote and I'm not afraid to use it!


Rap is clearly not only biting but enthusiastically chewing off the one hand feeding him a little friendship.

He wanted a cite, there, now he has one, expect more silence or a temper tantrum to follow.

America loves a winner!


I guess we're in a recession.

Doesn't feel as bad as we were told though.

Huh.
