If anyone knows anything about losing jobs, it's B. Hussein Obama.

The louder they scream, the more effective it was.

goods that ARE available, etc. Most Leftards don't like the real world. It's scary to them. It expects them to work for a living. They'd rather scheme and connive instead. That's why they love the idea of a totalitarian society.

I think he and his cronies don't get it, because they don't care. Think about the Communist Party apparatchiks behind the old Iron Curtain. Why would any of them WANT to live in countries with governments that so mismanage things, there are no consumer goods, there is little manufacturing, there is little to sell and little to buy. Why? Because they live lives differently from the proles at the bottom of the food chain, that's why. In a REAL economy, they'd be helpless misfits. But in a command economy, where you don't have to worry about making a profit, or efficiency, or market share, or any of that - just staying on the right side of the party line - they thrive. They've got more "stuff," they are allowed first crack at the scarce

Having the government spend tax revenue to "stimulate the economy" violates fundamental laws of conservation of energy, as applied to economics. "Pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps." Ridiculous.

There you go! Go and demand a cigar!

That's ridiculous. Economies don't grow because consumers buy stuff, it's because raw materials (or raw data, or raw foodstuffs, etc.) are taken, worked, and made into products that INCREASE the value beyond what the raw costs are, as far as the market is concerned. People buying consumer goods is part of a cycle, not the cycle itself. If you REALLY think that - and a lot of times I think you Leftards don't actually believe the stuff you say, you just hope your audience is ignorant - then you need to think some more.

profit. Yes, in business, that's unforgivable. You'll be cast into outer darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. So if they're "sitting on TRILLIONS" as you claim (and we're just ASSUMING this for the nonce, since you of course give no evidence that this is so), there must be a reason, because otherwise you can bet they WOULD be investing. So, what is the reason? Can you think of anything? Anything at all?

Where are the trillions sitting? If they are sitting somewhere, they are drawing interest, right? With interest rates as low as they are, why would someone want to forgo all that potential income? Therefore, there is something missing from your argument - something essential. Could it be...an explanation as to WHY businesses would be loath to invest? Business leaders focus on maximizing profit. Although I'm sure it never occurred to you, that's why CEOs and other high-ranking management types make the big bucks they make: because they make big bucks for the SHAREHOLDERS of their companies. You ever read the Parable of the Talents in the New Testament? The sin of the servant with the single talent, was that he did not wisely invest it, to

That was supposed to be ironic, right?
