    EHME

    This is the one. In continuum, it's easy to say "my tough guy act isn't real" except for the fact that you've carried it with you for pretty much the whole observable time frame of posts. So it's gone from a schtick to a character trait. Concurrently, I've explained this before, but I don't care if you pick fights with people, you're just a fucking terrible human being. Just so I can get it in before you do: fuck me, I'm an emo fag, pedo, loner, virgin, and single

    The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis

    Yeah because they were only required to build new schools, not improve their other ones. Not to mention that 90 million is, according to my calculations, .5625% of the total funds allocated to school construction. Let's not even talk about the condition of a lot of public schools across the nation either. What else did Glenn Beck talk about yesterday, Marvin? Do you just want to link us to his transcript? That would save a lot of time instead of just having to read your posts.

    The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis

    Something is better than nothing. What are you referring to, exactly? There are a lot of things cut out of the package. MostHere's a list, from CNN. Here are some of my favorites that got cut out: A $2b tax credit to Verizon wireless, essentially, that would have created an internet grid in areas that don't have wireless internet access. Also would've, hopefully, created a 100 mb/s standard with Verizon wireless, and thus, the rest of the industry. We're still horribly lagging behind in this facet. Thai citizens get free 500 mb/s internet. In a world where information is currency, an unplugged population isn't acceptable, especially in this country. Speaks for themselves, but I think this also includes the maintenance and upgrading of buildings for the National Disease Prevention Center, which are in disrepair, and the facilities are on the edge of obsolete. So fuck this of course. This would've been the one of the best parts of the bill. Provides states, the agents that are hurting the most right now, with quick needed money, where it would've been doled out appropriately and in the right parts (we hoped). This would've essentially been the best and fastest means of rapid stimulus consumption. But instead, house Republicans voted instead to let the states cook for a little while longer. This money to the states would've acted as guards against cutting budgets, which could slay GDP. By the way, like I said before, I think this includes $200m to states to improve family planning services (OMG CONTRACEPTION NOT REALLY), which the Congressional Budget Office predicted would save $400m in unwanted pregnancies and such. Krugman: Again, probably self-explanatory. Not good. Keep in mind, these are only a few. There are many more on here. If they were kept in, many of them were long-term investments, which would've saved money and actually increased GDP. But these GDP-increasing measures consisted of most of what was cut out of the $86 billion. The projects that didn't increase GDP included the public health emergency fund, and a project that bought up foreclosed homes in neighborhoods, fixed them up, and turned them. What a waste of money that would've been! Nevertheless, I don't quite think that this bill should be looked at as a cure-all. American GDP is $16 trillion, but falling; this bill is (now more than earlier) more of a palliative bill to restore confidence in the economy. Confidence and expectation are two important anti-cyclical agents in economics, and turning public opinion around changes investors around. However, as you can see, a lot of the things cut out were also future planning initiatives (see first part of this paragraph), such as investing into schools, while others were necessary clean up jobs for the projects that had fallen behind in disrepair over the last 8 years (broadband, NDPC, national hybrid fleet). If there was ever a time to do this, the time is now. Now. Now. Now. The economy needs an injection of money to both restore our production capabilities and confidence. Also to catch up with the last 8 years. So how good is the bill? Not good. The bill should've been much bigger than this, but I think you get the picture why it's not. The Senate Republicans can't understand economics, multipliers, and common sense. I can't stress the DeMint amendment enough as the surefire sign of total Republican idiocy. Obama addressed this issue as bipartisan, not as an intelligent or economic issue. This bill, to me, is pathetic. It's not close to what it should've been. It's something, but there are serious provisions cut out. Krugman estimates that the $86 billion in cuts cost the economy 600,000 jobs in the next few years.

    The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis

    No, fucking conservatives. These pieces of shit killed the fucking stimulus bill by focusing on trivial pork that actually would've done lots more good than harm, cutting out $16 billion in school funding, almost passing $3 trillion in tax cuts (see: completely throwing money away) over the next several years, cut $40 in badly needed state funding, cut out money for food stamps, cut out money for unemployment insurance, but instead, gave a $15,000 tax to affluent homeowners, which will do NOTHING at all to create jobs. Did I mention the multiplier for tax cuts is an astonishing .5? Their return on the economy is 50% of what they cost. That's assuming that Americans decide to spend some of it on things, instead of tucking it in the pillow that they coddle while watching the news. Aside from the fact that the DeMint Amendment already helps the unaffected, the $3 trillion it promises (equal to the size of the hole in the US economy, so says the Congressional Budget Office), its return will be a measly $1.5 trillion, maybe, while simultaneously creating a giant sink hole of a deficit. 87.8% of the Senate Republicans voted for this! A $3 trillion stimulus package would've been a dream come true, but it was almost in the form of tax cuts. Fuck the conservatives, these cock sucking mother fuckers killed the stimulus bill because they couldn't stand the fact that they were problem, and government spending is a necessity right now. They couldn't understand the severity of the problem, and decided to gerrymander and filibuster until their plates were satisfied. They failed to act for the last 8 years, and they've failed to act in the last 3 months. Especially fuck Eric Cantor. The entire Republican economic theory HAS FAILED. It's in shambles, and they're breaking the shambles into smaller shambles. At the time when America needed action the most, they failed. The failed, and they failed, and they failed, and they failed. As an economist, I am infuriated at both parties to falling victim to this kind of bullshit economic theory, and I'm infuriated at how little this bill will now do for the country. The conservatives put policy above pragmatism, tax cuts above sense. Because of them, thousands of Americans will stay out of work, the economy will drag its feet, and the next few years will be much harder than they should be. Marvin, you're a piece of shit too. Go get your own opinions.

    Oh by the way, one note. Remember that $200 million in aid to states to expand their family planning services that Marvin particularly got infuriated over? The Democrats struck it out over pressure from the GOP. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that it would save $400 by cutting unwanted pregnancies. Shove it up your ass, Marv. Also, 36 out of the 41 Senate Republicans voted for the DeMint amendment to the stimulus, which would create massive permanent tax cuts that don't help the economy at all, as well as create a giant hole in the federal budget!

    The US Economy and Current Financial Crisis

    You're confusing two philosophies. The trickle down theory and the free market theory are two different things, and the latter has been discredited in the last 6 months, not really the former. Also, the problem with the whole thing is that Obama announced the issue as a bipartisan issue instead of a fix-the-economy issue. $500,000 pay cap for bailed out company CEOs was announced today.
  20. So where did you get your English doctorate?
  21. yeah but pbone's like 16 if I frequented this board at that age I'd be exactly like him...EHME should know better. Really, just like EHME-Barron, there are no winners. I did only did that once, and I contribute to a lot of the other folders as well. Nevertheless, I'm cutting down on the posting here big time.

    It's noon, and I'm already drunk! Woooooooo!

    Alright, well, you obviously have no clue what irony means, so I'll just skip that part. Secondly, I call you out for being the general scum of the earth, being an internet tough guy, a shitty father, a derelict, a degenerate, and a general stupid piece of shit. Thirdly, way to go on the emo-bitch stuff, keep going for it. You're really scoring points. Why don't you just show us your dick instead, so we can all marvel at how much of a man you are? Maybe your muscles instead? Or how about more stories about you beat up girls and landlords? And by "woman to schlep," I mean my 20 year old girlfriend who lives with me.

    Shut the fuck up pbone, your just jealous because you're not even legal enough to drink. Stupid emo-bitch. Do you have a sponser for staying off my nuts for 2 seconds? I'm sure you have pedo porn to look at. Must be easy to post when all you do is copy and paste exactly what you said for the last 10 things you posted. I don't drink that much anyways, and when I do, it's not like it's a problem for me to get it. But yeah bro I'm just so jealous that you can drink that's so cool can you buy me beer sometime bro And I have a woman to schlep these days, by the way.
