A good report. Do you think it would make sense to spend 2 billion to recover or stop 90 billionhttp://americanlegislator.org in waste?

This link is to an ALEC web page, as opposed to the original GAO report.

ALEC is right wing propaganda, and can be summarily dismissed as such.

That was my original response, but I think I knocked myself out when I thudded, so you beat me to posting.

I suppose what you read is the only authority. I gave you a report and I have seen other reports higher. What is your difficulty accepting another view point? Are you in complete denial?

It’s not “another view point” it’s a bunch of bullshit bought and paid for by the Koch brothers.

francis why are you sucking the butthole of the super rich? They don’t give a shit about you.

Not denial. Just a bit more discerning in where we get our information. You should try it some time.

The Saddest Thing About US Politics is Seeing Poor People Line Up to Vote for Republicans to Give Billionaires a Better Life. #UniteBlue #p2

re: #8 Vicious Babushka

Super rich like Gates, Spielberg, Soros, and half of Hollywood, are democrats, I make up my own mind. I heard about the Koch brothers in the last election and could care less about them also. I am not a fan of the Republican Party, as a matter of fact I think they are a feckless bunch along with the democrats who have fractured this country into race and class differences. Simple, and see if you can understand this, rich people don’t make rich people rich, the poor and middle class do inadvertently and rich people don’t hang out with poor people, money hangs with money and they only care about one color, green. If your going to hang a label on me, you can call me an American.

Read your history, Europe was modeled after the new deal, that wasn’t so great either.

And yet you get all your information from Koch-sponsored sources.

Also, did you finish elementary school? Back in the day they taught punctuation and spelling.

Viewpoints (it’s one word, not two) only have value when based on facts. Opinions based on bullshit are just bullshit.

I have read actual history. There is no “my” history and “your” history, there is stuff that happened in the past.

The “New Deal” was FDR’s policy for mitigating the economic effects of the Great Depression, FDR was President of the United States. There was no “New Deal” in Europe. Are you perhaps thinking of the “Marshall Plan” for rebuilding after World War II? That turned out great, Germany and Japan are wealthy and successful nations today.

Vicious Babushka Sun, Sep 1, 2013 8:18:38pm

Why do I even bother?

And Austarity is working out great for them these days?

I find this highly doubtful from someone who thinks Europe was built on a New Deal (and if you meant the Marshall Plan, that was a STAGGERING success—-it turned out extremely well).

Maybe my school wasn’t as good as yours, or I wasn’t as good a student, you are still getting the message.

Greece and Spain are model examples?

You are bringing up countries with austerity programs…the same thing that many in the U.S. want to do here? That’s funny.
