Tom Toles for February 09, 2011

They want to starve the people. No jobs, no assistance, no future. Seems Republicans never read Dickens “A Tale of Two Cities”. Seems that would require liberal stuff like edgucation.

They’ve also never read “Bleak House,” “Oliver Twist,” or “David Copperfield,” and to them “A Christmas Carol” is just a cute story about a grumpy old man who learns to lighten up around Christmas.

Nor have Liberals ever read any book on Economics.

^^Not the ones you’re reading. We’re reading Alexander Hamilton and Adam Smith. You guys are reading Milton Friedman and Arthur Laffer.

beenthere41, have you ever heard of Paul Krugman?

“I don’t know nothing more than an economist, and God knows he don’t know nothing.’ - Will Rogers

Newt brought on several “shutdowns” that just screwed things up worse to “make his point”. Now the same morons are at it again. BTW- Krugman has proven far more accurate than Pinochet promoter Friedman (Milton, not Tom). With Reaganomics you don’t need an economics text, just a simple math exercise: spend more than you earn, then cut your income– you end up in debt- simple.

So what does getting rid of health care and womens right to choose have to do with economics or new jobs?

Why do most Liberals hate anyone with a different opinion? Don’t you believe in freedom of thought? Shame on you. Personally, I respect all views, but not hatred and personal attacks.

rresnikoff, that has got to be the best example of the old adage about glass houses that I have seen in some time.

DTroutma - What Reaganomics said was “cut taxes and increase spending and your debt goes away. It didn’t work that way. “W” tried it too, and it still didn’t work.
