    So you deny Obama will extend the middle class tax cuts?

    Or was that included in your numbers?


    You know, you could at least cite material you used and actualy explain the numbers, but who am I kidding, you are a fucking joke.

    The numbers in your origonal post had nothing to do with the Ryan budget.

    As you mentioned, they were YOUR numbers.

    So yea, thanks for the confirmation.

    dude I have explained this in such exhaustive detail that if you cannot understand then you should vote for the Republicans because you will match their intellectual capacity. I have cited my materials....in fact, nothing I have offered here is controversial....these are every day economic figures that any ding-a-ling could find by googling them. You wanted me to use the Ryan budget so I did, what else do you want?

    Here we go again, calling me a "fucking joke," because you cannot rebut my point. Thanks, I always know when you are out of ammo because you start calling names.

    Revise your original post to reflect that. But you know, you do not have the time or means to show anything better.


    You specifically said this:

    "Bottom line: The Republicans claim that they can eradicate the budget deficit with returning everyone to full employment and it isn't true."

    Show me where this is in the Ryan plan....


    There is so much more to reducing the deficit than this shit you started.



    And you claim to be an "intellectual"

    If they don't believe that they can eradicate the budget deficit with returning everyone to full employment then why did they feel the need to provide their own figures to the CBO for scoring? Why did they increase the amount of revenues by 3% through fiscal year 2022 when they knew that revenues would only equal 15.7%? It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to understand that they may not be openly saying it with their mouths (which they would be foolish to do because it would mean that even people like you have to realize that their math is fuzzy) but it is written in black and white in the Ryan plan.

    If they were correct and their tax breaks really would increase employment and revenues then why did they have to lie about that 3%? Because they know it isn't true.

    I agree with you that there is more to reducing the deficit; that's what makes their proposition so fucking ridiculous. Why can't you understand that? Look, they want us to believe that they can reduce taxes and still pull off revenues that are equal to 18.7% of GDP by 2022 but in reality it only equals 15.7% of GDP by 2022. This is all the proof you should need to see that in spite of the fact that they claim they can eradicate the budget deficit by returning everyone to full employment, the only way they can make that mathematically feasible is by lying about their numbers. to make mattes worse, they are comparing his budget to the current path of doing nothing and the ryan budget is worse than doing nothing.

    Because they play to grow the economy?


    I am 100% sure growing the economy and job force is in Obama’s plan to.


    Stop being stupid.


    Both Obama’s budget and Ryan’s are based of assumptions.

    "When Republicans provided tax relief in 2003, the amount of revenue collected by the government went up by more than $700 billion over five years and the deficit went down.[3] Tax rates have been stable for the past ten years, while over the past four years, Washington increased spending by 39 percent.[4] That has helped produce three trillion-dollar deficits in a row. This budget tells Washington that is has to stop spending money we don’t have. "

    The table clearly shows on that in 2004 to 2007 the deficit was reduced.

    Explain this to me, b/c you said the math doesn't allow this....
