Top Economists No Longer Buying Republican "Trickle Down" BS

Thanks for your deep insight and explanation no matter how flawed it is. Veteran status does not get you a free pass when the rhetoric that is posted is so anti American that it turns one stomach. If it stabs you in the heart so be it. Given the responses I get to the issues I respond to lead me to believe that I am on the right track and perhaps not as dumb shit as you think. You need to do some deep instrospective analysis and find a path that supports this nation and it’s fragile future.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - I voted up your comment for the positive comments not the insults. Be careful about insulting other RallyPoint members.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Oh make no mistake about it MSgt Sweeney my authority has been earned both in the military and the corporate world, and my privilege is the result of extremely hard work my entire life... no one ever gave me anything I earned it. I refuse to bow to those who want to take my "financial privilege" and "spread the wealth" or those who want to try to "beat" me down on matters of national importance because they simply disagree with a a point of view or lack the internal courage of their own convictions. I "own" the Constitution... swore an oath to support and defend it... an oath I still honor because you see while my status is "retired" but my Commision... a SPECIAL trust bestowed on me by the the people of the United States of America is still valid and just as "in force" as the first day I raised my right hand. Privilege... perhaps but an earned privilege. Again... sorry if your feelings were hurt because I identified a special group on Rally Point as being as wrong headed and misguided as the Politburo of the old USSR... that's my observation and call out and you called me a dumb shit for it... fair enough I would not deny you the right even if you are terribly misguided. However, if you don't feel privileged I cannot imagine what you feel. You are privileged to live in the greatest social experiment ever carried out my mankind. You were privileged to have served in an elite military organization and from all appearances you were able to complete a successful career... Can't tell what you have done since then since your profile is only 20% complete However, these two data points alone should make it obvious that you too are privileged.
So I guess anti-American is in the eye of the beholder... In my eye when you rail against the system, The President, the Commander-in-Chief and use a forum such as RP to express your resistance because you did not win... well in my eye that is anti-American even if you are a veteran. American is...You vote... you lose you wait to vote again and effect change. Policies are the issue... policies!
Resist if you must but know that once you have taken a shot you need to be prepared to receive return fire. Its an old combat soldiers thing... once you fire be prepared to receive return fire... displace... shift and fire again. So if you wish.... keep up the fire... I love it!

Now conservatives are shrugging off the deficit, after screaming about it for the past 8 years.

MSG Stan Hutchison - I have never believed in Keynesian Economics. You can never spend enough of other peoples money to revive an economy because at somepoint you run out of other peoples money. Not to worry MSG - you are free, due to your obvious altruism, to donate as much as you like to the IRS. I, in the other hand, would love a tax cut.

LTC Orlando Illi - Now please explain to me where you saw anything to suggest your response to my post. My intent was only to point out the hypocrisy of one party complaining about the deficit when they are not in power as the other party.

MSG Stan Hutchison - OR liberals are screaming wait after their spend free years.

Same old story - if my party does it it is great. If your part does it it is disaster.

No really it is mostly just political BS.
