      - and tax cuts, etc. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 10:57

        We will see. I don't think we get anything close to a legitimate bill that attacks the problem. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 10:49 6
        
        Well, "the problem" is a big, multifaceted, nebulous monster in this instance. I don't doubt that it will miss some of the big drivers. - TFox Jun 10, 10:50 5

        Let me know if you'd like to bet on it. :) -- nm - TFox Jun 10, 10:56 1
        
        Nah, cuz if they do get anything done, we'll have the argument of is it really the solution - Will Hunting Jun 10, 10:57
- That's pretty funny coming from the guy with the $2 trillion deficit. -- nm - Ender Jun 10, 10:34 24
  - Not as funny as Republicans decrying his lack of fiscal discipline of a defecit which they are in large part responsible for. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 10:39 20

      - how is this a flip, I've been pretty consistent on this point. -- nm - znufrii Jun 10, 10:44 3
        
        You misinterpret "flip". Not a change of position. A "I will not respond to that point, but will instead bring up this other point... - TFox Jun 10, 10:45 2
        
        ah. - znufrii Jun 10, 10:47 1

    - He's the guy in charge now; he's the one with the inflated budget. -- nm - Vermin SI Jun 10, 10:40 12
      - However that's to ignore the complicity of the 2001-2006 GOP in setting up this horrible economic mess of which Obama inherited - Znufrii SI Jun 10, 10:41 11
        
        Near pitch perfect. - musubi Jun 10, 10:50
        
        /grabs popcorn/ It's a one-man show! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jun 10, 10:46 9
        
        He has us exact, don't you think, though? :) - znufrii Jun 10, 10:48 6
        
        My initial take was that even trying, Will couldn't force the bullshit-pretentious-word-to-signal ratio far enough into the plaid. -- nm - TFox Jun 10, 10:52 5
        
        ~/ take me out, to the plaid, tell them I ain't hardly mad /~ -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 10:56
        
        and completely misused "complicity" - znufrii Jun 10, 10:54 2
        
        I'm pretty sure you just validated my post. Thanks znu!!! -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 10, 10:55
        
        oh, so maybe he did better than i thought. -- nm - TFox Jun 10, 10:55
        
        I was actually more in a rush to get the 2nd one posted before anyone else joined in. - Will Hunting Jun 10, 10:54
        
        Your next retort would be pointing out the same logic as 2001-2006 GOP as the 2009 Dems in they control it all.... - Will Hunting Jun 10, 10:48 1
        
        When do you ask him if he likes apples? -- nm - Roger More Jun 10, 11:01
