There is No Recession: It's a Planned Demolition
It's worth reading all of this one. Not necessarily the view you'll get from the NY Times, but one that seems to fit well with the existing facts.
blahblahblahblahblah......

1. This should be common knowledge.
Bush, Norquist, et al, were thrilled to speak of "drowning the economy in a bathtub" BEFORE they got elected. Practically bragged about it. Now, after they've met their goals admirably, people say "Pshaw! Why would anyone want to ruin the economy?" Because they're ****ing capitalist criminals. It's what they do. Might as well as why a shark eats seals.

7. Norquist wanted to drown the federal government in the bathtub, not the economy

8. You tell me the difference, fundamentally.
He wanted to drown the whole damn thing. They spoke openly of massive social upheaval required to bring about the societal changes they wanted. Bankrupting the government (and keeping all the money for themselves as a hedge against the hard times they would be creating) was just the logical first step.
With the government insolvent, everything would have to be privatized, sold at fire-sale prices to desperate states and municipalities. Of course, the Bushies would be the one's there to scoop 'em all up. Again, they spoke openly of this strategy BEFORE Bush's first election theft.
I think the fact that we ignored it and no one revolted just emboldened them. Paulsen's tranfer of the final billions from our treasury to himself and his cronies through Goldman-Sachs was the final slurp of money going down the drain before Bush left office.

19. The difference is whether you are quoting it correctly or incorrectly
....and if you quote it incorrectly and are called out on it without admitting your mistake, it undermines your credibility.
The fundamental difference is that Norquist want to drown the government and hijack the economy.

24. Your concern is noted.
"....and if you quote it incorrectly and are called out on it without admitting your mistake, it undermines your credibility."
There's one on every thread.
Uh-uh. There's a primitive in every thread, giving Pedro Picasso static for misunderstanding things even a small child can understand.

Pedro may be on to something for a change. It is a planned destruction of the economy, he's just wrong about the who planned it. 0bama saw the precarious shape of the economy and new that with some help it would collapse and he has been pushing for it since he was selected. The socialists believe that a collapsing economy is fertile ground for the growth of class warfare.

Also, don't forget.
When did the recession start?
Wasn't that shortly after November 2006?
One wonders what happened in November 2006.

Since Pedro is a spelling Nazi, please note the misspelling of the word "ask."
Otherwise, Pedro continues down the trail of his own paranoia minus any evidence of what he claims is undisputed facts.

"During eight years of the Bush Administration, the 400 richest Americans, who now own more than the bottom 150 million Americans, increased their net worth by $700 billion. In 2005, the top one per cent claimed 22 per cent of the national income, while the top ten per cent took half of the total income, the largest share since 1928.
Yeah, and unemployment was at 4.6%, the Dow was over 14 thousand, and we added massive amounts of jobs. Those EVIL RICH PEOPLE! We should punish them, damnit! :whatever:
Trickle down works, fools. It's been proven. Trickle up, Keynesian economics? Well, how's that hopey changey thing working for ya now?

In the same time frame how much did those bottom 150 million increase their own net worth by ?
Did a percentage of them sit around and bitch that someone was richer than them and demand the government do something ?

This whole bathtub drowning thing has grown old. It makes one think the primitives have something against bathing.
