QUOTE FOR THE RECOVERY

"You really can't have a sustainable recovery in an economy that's 70% fueled by consumer spending when 90% of the income gains since the recovery began have accrued to 1% of the population."
—Rana Foroohar (Time, November 19, 2012 issue)

It is easy to see what does not work. Just look at liberal Democrat run states like NY, IL and CA. They have all lost population and business and are well on the way to bankruptcy. Republican run states like Wisconsin, Texas, Indiana are all thriving. You would think that liberals would get a clue.

it smells and sounds like some smug, delusional, self important clown moron just brainfarted in the room.

Robert, Your level of logic is what is expected of a liberal.

And your level of sheer stupidity and prejudice are what, sadly, are expected of a wind-up, brainless, thoughtless, spine-less robot.

Robert, possibly you would humor us as to why my pointing out the relative failure of Democrat led states versus the success in economic activity and gain in population of Republican led states is some how stupid, brainless or robotic.

A) go to Gary, Indiana
B) California just had a two-term Republican governator.
C) Where was the most famous (infamous) school shooting?

Meant to delete the stalker with his first comment because as usual it is misinformation, misdirection, and outright lying. The states that depend the most on the rest of us to survive are the red states, most of which are governed by Republicans. If all the red state seceded, most of our budget problems would disappear. If states were countries, most of the blue ones would be among the top countries in the world in terms of living standards etc. while most of the red ones would be considered among the worst (Louisiana for instance outranks Iran and China in per capita prisoners etc.). The arguments from the right have become tediously boring when it comes to their refusal or inability to face actual facts.
