| TheRealMafoo said: God Akuma. Not only can we not convince you that you are wrong, your economic plan in action being completely ineffective doesn't convince you. Talking to you is like a brick wall. If the market had gotten better, I would say bailing all these people out was I guess the right thing to do. It didn't, so why don't you look at the facts, and reassess your position? Sometime I think it's just to hard for you to admit you were wrong, so you would rather hold on to what you think is true instead. Open your eyes man. |
Economies just don't recover overnight. No one ever claimed it would, including Obama. TARP saved the banks. It did exactly what it was supposed to do. Its not my fault you expect miracles when no one ever claimed there would be one.
Apparently you have a crystal ball though that shows you alternate futures where TARP was never enacted and that didn't involve heavily infusing banks with money in some other roundabout way that would have essentially done the same thing. Its especially hard to take you seriously as you rarely cite to any data or anything else that a rational human being would accept as evidence that your theories are correct. Just because you say it doesn't make it true. I hate to have to tell you that.
As for the rest of your post:
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
