I dont know why anyone even bothers to read your posts anymore... 
People said I embarrased myself with my opinions...at at least when im confident in something I actually end up being right... |
It's hard to be wrong when you don't say anything substantive... but thats not really the same as being right, is it? Especially when you quote only part of a sentence of my post and ignore any of the previous or continued content or the context in which it is presented...
As for the election, we've already hashed that out long ago with the conclusion you simply ignore the financial collapse in August as a game changer, and I believe it was a game changer (opinion I shared on the day of the collapse). Nothing further needs be discussed as we've said it all before. Call it a difference of opinion.
But in the end, how does this topic have anything to do with the election? We're talking about economics, not politics. If you wish to disagree with my criticisms, all I ask is that you do so on a content basis, and not an emotional one. I don't like the idea that the stimulus will fail. I have a 401k that needs it succeed. But based in the bill' merits, I simply don't see how it will work. I may be wrong, but that is an inherent risk when you put yourself out in the realm of ideas and don't base every argument on anger and spite.
What is it specifically about my concerns do you believe are unwarranted, and why?
What is it about the stimulus do you believe will work, and why?
You seem less convinced that this stimulus will work, than of the idea that I am wrong for the sake of my being wrong. A conversation is not running into a room an screaming "you're a big dummy" and then running out, relishing in your rapier wit. Its an exchange of ideas, and after all these years I'm still waiting for you to share one.
