[QUOTE]Originally posted by MeGotBeer: [QB] [QUOTE]Jeff, you're an idiot[/QUOTE] Gee. How nice. The boy-wonder who bitches and screams about ad-hominems calls people "idiots" to get his point across. Gee, Ommie, I didn't know that was a valid debating tactic. I shouldn't really be surprised, though. Omega's long had a double standard in debates. He gets to call people idiots, declare himself "winner" of threads, demand lengthy treatises about political issues, and avoid answering questions he doesn't like (or can't answer). More over (and just as amusing), he calls himself an independent non-partisan, then sides with the Republican Party ("we got rid of him" <small>when discussing Nixon's impeachment</small>) Oh, I can even predict his response to this. "I already answered that!" Or something along those lines, and he'll use some more ad-hominems, turn red in the face, and want to smash a hammer into my face, but settle for kicking his cat or something. [QUOTE]It was caused by a tax INCREASE.[/QUOTE] Oh, right, the one Bush Sr. signed into law? "Read my lips: no new taxes." Oh, I know, don't tell me: "It's all the Democrat's fault!" The same tired arguement you make without fault, without reason, indeed, without one truly non-Conservative partisan thought. We had a recession for a long time before George sr. was in office, so obviously the trickle-down plan didn't quite work. *<small>In fact, Carter proposed tax cuts, smaller government, and tight credit to control the economy</small> Or: I could just repeat the tired line offered by you Conservatives during our debates on Gore v. Bush. Whenever the Clinton/Gore economy was brought up, you screamed and yelled and went blue in the face, and said, "the President has nothing to do with the economy! It's the Federal Reserve Board!" Look how fast you change your tunes. You want to give Reagan credit for the 80's recession? Be my guest, but that means you give Clinton/Gore credit for the economy in the late 90's. :) [QUOTE]Well, in that case, you'd water ALL the roots, yes? Because watering only the small roots isn't going to do the tree a darned bit of good.[/QUOTE] The small roots? No, the poor roots. You know, the ones fucked over by inadequate minimum wage, the ones who can't afford health care without assistance and wouldn't even recieve health care if you had your way ... the ones for whose schools you'd like to take away money from. You know, the same people the Republican party has a long history of trampling over. [QUOTE]Inflation, unemployment, and home loss were high during Carter, too. Higher, in fact. That's why Reagan passed the tax cut. Notice that around '83, around a year after the tax cut, we started having an incredible economy? Coincidence?[/QUOTE] I never said the economy was that good under Carter, but it got worse under Reagan before it got better. You mind posting some sources or references or something to make people think you're not a complete and utter ... oh, wait, I'm trying to get you to stick to you "ad-hominem" beliefs, so I guess it wouldn't get me anywhere to sink to your ("you're an idiot!") level. So I won't. [/QB][/QUOTE]
