нет, я ассоциирую тебя с angry morons из чайнатауна. Которые своими сокращениями бюджета добиваются того, что в Америке настанет япония - 10 лет нулевого экономического роста.

Япония в свое время жевала сопли, вместо того чтобы активно тратить деньги, вытаскивая экономику из рецессии. Вот и дожевались.

вывод напрашивается такой, что Обаме надо было нахер республиканцев послать сразу, а не пытаться с ними добиваться bipartisan decisions.

Myths of Austerity

When I was young and naïve, I believed that important people took positions based on careful consideration of the options. Now I know better. Much of what Serious People believe rests on prejudices, not analysis.

Which brings me to the subject of today’s column. For the last few months, I and others have watched, with amazement and horror, the emergence of a consensus in policy circles in favor of immediate fiscal austerity. That is, somehow it has become conventional wisdom that now is the time to slash spending, despite the fact that the world’s major economies remain deeply depressed.

This conventional wisdom isn’t based on either evidence or careful analysis. Instead, it rests on what we might charitably call sheer speculation, and less charitably call figments of the policy elite’s imagination — specifically, on belief in what I’ve come to think of as the invisible bond vigilante and the confidence fairy.

As Douglas Elmendorf, the director of the Congressional Budget Office, recently put it, “There is no intrinsic contradiction between providing additional fiscal stimulus today, while the unemployment rate is high and many factories and offices are underused, and imposing fiscal restraint several years from now, when output and employment will probably be close to their potential.”

...
So the next time you hear serious-sounding people explaining the need for fiscal austerity, try to parse their argument. Almost surely, you’ll discover that what sounds like hardheaded realism actually rests on a foundation of fantasy, on the belief that invisible vigilantes will punish us if we’re bad and the confidence fairy will reward us if we’re good. And real-world policy — policy that will blight the lives of millions of working families — is being built on that foundation.

WASHINGTON—Calling a GOP victory in the 2012 presidential election antithetical to the party platform, top Republicans revealed a new long-term political strategy Tuesday: reelecting Barack Obama and making his life even more of a living hell than it already is.

"For three years, the Republican Party has coalesced around the single goal of making President Obama's every waking moment sheer and utter torture," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters. "But we can't continue to do that if he's not in office."

"If we are going to make the president a haggard shell of a human being by the time he leaves the White House, we need four more years of never compromising, four more years of miring every piece of legislation in unnecessary procedural muck, four more years of pretending we want to work with the president and then walking away from the table at the last second," McConnell added. "Four more years! Four more years! Obama 2012!"

Sarah Palin announced Wednesday evening that she is not going to run for president in 2012.

The candidate, who inspired months of speculation regarding a possible presidential bid, announced her decision in an interview Wednesday with conservative radio host Mark Levin.

Levin read a statement from Palin announcing the decision before speaking to the former vice presidential nominee on his show.

In the statement, Palin cited family considerations and said she thought she could be more effective in helping others get elected.

Сплывает, сплывает с горизонта звезда типартийных очей. Лишь бы дверь ее по филейной части не догнала на пути аут.

О как у вас было, в параллельной вселенной. Свезло вам. В нашей Обама год трахался, пытался завоевать поддержку репов, Митта Ромни, как отца-основателя Romneycare, все в чем-то убедить хотел...

Деньги - вот пэйлиновское все. Видно было изначально, но некоторые же не хотят признавать очевидное ? :)

Я хочу сказать, что ни о каком "служении родине" в любой выборной должности Пэйлин не думала. Все последние 3 года, после безвременного ухода с поста губернатора, она занималась кованием бабла, пока горячо. На дорогих типартейцев, которые ее считали своим кумиром и светочем, она положила то, что у нее физиологически отсутствует.
