    Absolutely the same thing and totally the same period in time.:crazy:

    How much of that money was borrowed from China? Which one of these stimulus chunks they are handing out creates manufacturing jobs?

    Maybe they should just build more Starbucks with the stimulus money and EVERY FUCKING JOB in this country can be another service job. Somehow we will borrow enough money to pay you to serve me coffee which I bought with money my job paid me by borrowing from China.

    Maybe every job will be a nursing job, nurses are quite valuable. You just can't pay them if nobody else makes anything to sell to the rest of the world.

    Did you know that Vise Grips are being made in China now? One of the last three tool plants in this country closed so that what was once a great tool can be made cheaper and then SHIPPPED here and probably be sold for the same amount, only they can make more profit.

    All these lefties want to share the wealth, how about they create just a LITTLE wealth here to be shared?

    I thank God that my girlfriend is a good hairdresser. When none of you have jobs, my girlfriend will still be able to get your wife to trade milk or sugar or medicine to us just so she can look pretty.

    If the two were even on the same level it might help. The end cost of the Iraq war alone could have paid for healthcare for every American for the next 10 years. :dunno:

    Oh and the fact that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 might also factor in.

    The entire Iraq war was paid for with money from China :devilwink:

    Yet you want to blame the left, when the answer is RIGHT under your nose.:crazy:

    How do you get the Spanish accents and punctuation? Every time I want to respond in Spanish, I always have to leave things like tildas and upside down question marks and exclamation points off.

    Even when I know how to say what I want to say, I go here, then type in the phrase, then copy and paste it into my post...

    Read my post again, I think it is number 12, or more likely for the first time. Instead of replying to things you imagine people said why don't you try reading their actual words?

    Here, I will quote it for you to make things easier on you.

    By the way, it is a pretty silly argument to say that I am wrong about us borrowing ourselves into oblivion because Bush started it. What is wrong with people these days?

    "How much of that money was borrowed from China?"
    you're right about going into debt, we should have raised taxes when things were going well

    "Which one of these stimulus chunks they are handing out creates manufacturing jobs?"
    cash for clunkers

    "Maybe every job will be a nursing job, nurses are quite valuable. You just can't pay them if nobody else makes anything to sell to the rest of the world."
    except nobody wants to expand healthcare.

    "Did you know that Vise Grips are being made in China now? One of the last three tool plants in this country closed so that what was once a great tool can be made cheaper and then SHIPPPED here and probably be sold for the same amount, only they can make more profit."
    I don't know if he's made good on it, but Obama made it clear before election he wanted to tax companies more that ship jobs over seas.

    "All these lefties want to share the wealth, how about they create just a LITTLE wealth here to be shared?"
    i'm not sure what this directly means? "lefties" don't create jobs?

    "I thank God that my girlfriend is a good hairdresser. When none of you have jobs, my girlfriend will still be able to get your wife to trade milk or sugar or medicine to us just so she can look pretty."
    That's a good joke, because hairdressers will still have jobs if the economy collapses.:lol:

    I didn't mention Hitler either.

    I like the cash for clunkers bullshit even though I know it is stupid. It helps me out, more new cars equals more wrecked cars with insurance.

    So they ramped up production for a bit, doesn't mean it is going to last. Plus, I sorta recall GM ramping up production in MEXICO. (edit, find your own fucking link if you don't believe me)

    It is pretty hard to pick out the new parts of this quote, but I will have to ask how Obama is going to tax the people that make Vise Grips if they just move the entire operation out of this country? That is like yelling at your girlfriend that she needs to do the dishes as she is packing up and leaving your dumb ass. Good luck with that.

    If Obama said he wanted everyone to have flying cars by next summer, would you just trust him on that one too?:crazy:

    If the economy collapses there is a good damn chance my girlfriend will make more money than most of us, especially me. Nobody will fix a car when they don't have money, but women that have had their hair done once will always want their hair done.

    I won't go too far into detail but...

    - Bush and company did nothing to penalize China for the most blatant no-look currency pegging in the history of the world. So no matter how cheap American goods got, China's were cheaper.

    - Free trade! It's such a great idea to do it around the world. Oh, until country X's currency is worth 1/4 of yours and they pay their people 1/4 of yours. But heaven forbid we enact any sort of equalizing factor to the goods from that country and put everyone on a level playing field. That would be protectionism, which I believe equates to Nazi communist inspired social fascism with a hint of liberalism according to some people.

    Unless there are tariffs enacted or one currency adopted world-wide you will continue to hear the giant sucking sound Perot talked about. Except rather than Mexico it will be every poor country in the world sucking away our manufacturing jobs to the cheapest spot on the planet.
    They've already moved at warp speed into the tech field so pretty much that leaves doctors and lawyers. And I'm pretty certain they'll find a way to outsource all of that eventually too.

    Here's a thought. For the few remaining people who can afford to buy Vise Grips...Obama will say "your product is not allowed in our country". That would pretty much take care of it until the vise grip black market rears its ugly head.

    But if they don't have money to fix a car how will they always fix their hair? Don't worry, I still drive a clunker. As long as I get food stamps I'll have something to trade you...
