and almost certainly well below the theoretical optimum rate for revenue production
Except taxes were higher post-FDR admins and the govt did not have increased revenues. Moving right along.
except that we would presently be in a DEFLATIONARY meltdown if it weren't for the US Federal Reserve (and other national banks) doing everything short of giving away cash to prevent it.
We're hardly at risk for that. |

I'd worry about hyperinflation, except that we would presently be in a DEFLATIONARY meltdown if it weren't for the US Federal Reserve (and other national banks) doing everything short of giving away cash to prevent it.
As for Laffer curves, keep in mind that the current US tax rate is the lowest in history, and almost certainly well below the theoretical optimum rate for revenue production. |

He is the first president ever to not achieve what he said he planned to do.
BUT @HG: Obama IS THE FIRST to ring up 6 TRILLION IN DEBT in just 4 years! Or 8 years, or EVER!
Admit it, this is true! You can "split hairs" and try to claim "ONLY 5 TRILLION" but it's still #1!
Obama is #1! (In fail!)
Obama's not so bad.
@madest:
Hitler's not so bad...
Stalin's not so bad...
Pol Pot's not so bad...
Hey! This is EASY! No wonder people become libtards, it requires NO thinking at all!

It's not a zero sum game, people. It's simple. It's called the Laffer Curve. Look it up. It works every time.
On the other hand, do you want 5 trillion more debt and more double-digit unemployment with gas at $10/gallon? If Obama is elected, we have 18-24 months, tops, before total economic collapse. Hyperinflation, 25%+ unemployment, riots, martial law, complete government collapse and possible civil war. You like self punishment, Gerry? Go ahead and vote for THAT! |

You'll never find a candidate that fits 100% into your ideology but I'm sure you already know that Gerry.
I agree with Gary Johnson 96% of the time.
Obama: 6% |

As bad as Obamanation is, you'd have to have some deep seated
desire for punishment to vote for Romney. |

"After all: Obama's promise to "cut the deficit in HALF" has worked out so well! Let's give him another 4 years of $Trillion$ +++ deficits!"
Hahahaha.
Yes. He is the first president ever to not achieve what he said he planned to do. |

Don't worry Canadian cat lady. You're not one of us, our election is nothing more than a sideshow that you can't play in. Haha.
Unfortunately THIS liberal clown is one of us. |

Oh please.... you could find dozens of issues and put Obama in there instead of Romney. There's a very clear plan on Romney's web site if you you would bother to look, but you won't because you are blinded by your own hatred. |

Actually they are going to save PBS too! It really isn't hard for them to do. They are going to start buying store brand cookies instead of name brand for cookie monster. That's at least half their budget right there. |

"i'm so sick of the bashing on romney, have any of you actually tried to look yourself ?"
YES
Yes I have. The only real numbers I can find are raise defense spending, cut taxes, cut planned parenthood, obamacare, and PBS.
Here is the thing, Romney is running 98% on unemployment and the debt. He should be boasting the plan hard. We shouldn't have to go LOOKING for it. However, he isn't. If he isn't there has to be a reason for it. |
