Any takers?
 

I would think that everything that has happened in the last 5 months cements in stone that "Trickle Down Economics" works. It just so happens right now the guys at the top took a big SHIT and it's just racing down hill now. 500k jobs lost a month.  arguments against trickle down are nonsense now

All the big money dried up. That's what matters. All of us in the lower class couldn't cause a ripple. This was a rich mans recession turned depression for everyone. The shit trickles down the same hill that the crumbs of gold do
 
You want to get shit rolling again, you gotta give the people with the real money confidence that they can invest it. People can't fathom what billions of dollars means. But the people that play around with the billions are where the tricle starts. If we can get them to turn the faucet back on, everything else follows
 
TRICKLE DOWN. proved in real life NOW

It's late and I know you are extremely hard headed but I still don't get it.....
 
Are you waiting on shit to trickle down?
 
Dude, these fucks have screwed up everything including our BANKING SYSTEM. 
 
As Apache would say, where is the rope?

Not to be cocky, but people like us ARE the employers and economic stimulus but cannot get funding.
 
Screw Exxon.

Big biz has nothing to do with it.
 
We are in a cycle, and that happens but when CORE industries start falling, it's a more than a cycle.
 
The romantics claim "laizze faire" blah blah but that's not gonna help.
 
We need economic "Planning"............. "floating" with the "market" sounds romantic but it will not work.  Look around.  Countries with money do not "float" with the market.  There is planning there.  They organize and plan.
 
Yes, you can still be badass entrepenour but still need to plan.

Oh, and as far as the "socialism" fears go......
 
I'll take ten pounds of that shit right now.  Better than ten pounds of chasing tails.
 
For example, is "oil" a public utlity or not? 
 
Should it be regulated like electric and water?
 
People who DO NOT EVEN OWN OIL FREAK at this concept but in the rest of the globe, it is a public utility.
 
Oh no, please do not mess with my capitalism????  Geez, we are retards.
 
IS THIS TOO HEAVY?

There will always be freedom for economic and social advancement in any situation but Global "Dominance" as the GOP likes to say requires a little thought.
 
Shredding hundred dollar sheds with 200k missles has nothing to do with economics.
 
Thanks.... See ya at the cash register.

Oh, what about "National Security" ?
 
Well, we all learned this in the third grade.
 
You do not get a "free swing"... of course they hate us.  Why wouldn't they?
 
It is flowers and golf ball time.  Otherwise our future soldiers are gonna pay the price.

What about taxes????????
 
Well taxes depend on the overrall economic activity.  In the past, the GOP likes to defer them so they can get re-elected.  Anybody remember Bush Senior "Read My Lips" shit?
 
The key is to spark economic activity first and then argue about the taxes later.

Yes and no.  If left to our own devices, we would not have hot and cold water nor highways and stuff.

What about Guns/Weapons and the Second Amendment????
 
Well, the LIBERALS love guns and Constitutional rights.  Individual "Freedom's" are what got us here in the first place.  Personally, I heat my house with guns and televisions.
 
This horseshit on TV is inaccurate.
 
There already are restrictions on "assault" weapons.  The GOP introduced that legislation to begin with but nobody is messing with "long" guns at all.

I'm sure the am radio can spout all kinds of crap about that but when you dig into it............ It's pretty okay to own guns in Liberal land.

In fact, in "Liberal" land, you can pretty much drink, smoke, shoot guns, do whatever you want.
 
It's the uptight dickhead Republicans who have the problems.

And, it is these same uptight dickweek Republicans, who know NOTHING about economics influencing people right and left?
 
Give me a break please.
 
As far as Obama..... who knows but at least he is changing the mentality here.
 
What are the priorities?

On a side note, this Obama dude is one "Cool Cucumber".... he reminds me of Geoff Ogilvy.
 
He's got his hands FULL of problemolas but still has time to talk to the press, answer questions, etc.

And, for you Conspiracy Guys...........
 
Sure, all politicians are vulnerable to funding and support.
 
But, the "least" tenured is going to be the least affected by all of that.
