And it is still a mystery to my why you claim that Obama's policies have anything to do with it when it was George Bush who turned a surplus into the largest deficit in history. And he didn't even have Reagan's excuse because House and Senate BOTH were also Republican.

Demand for personal loans is low. Demand for business loans is extremely high. Unfortunately credit is still boudn up.

Yes, on the microeconomic scale you are right. From a macroeconomic perspective, it doesn't matter if demand is low because businesses don't need loans, or if it is low because they are ineligible. Either way, they end up not requesting funds from the Fed. You must have misread what I said. Demand for business loans is not low. Private placements are running record margins and are filling up as fast as they are offered.

The second paragraph merely depends on your definition of "superinflation". A term I never heard before you used it. More commonly its "hyperinflation", which has no precise threshhold. The 1970s were considered to be "nearing hyperinflation", and that is the sense I was repeating your use of superinflation. I assume you dont think that 20% inflation is out of the question under Obamas policies, and that you dont think that 20% inflation wouldnt be disasterous to the US and world economies.

Hyperinflation is just an inflammatory term that, as you say, has "no precise threshold" and is bandied about by those who want to score emotional points. Don't you think that an inflation rate in the teens per year is fundamentally different from an inflation rate in the hundreds per DAY? Inflation in the 1970s was "nearing hyperinflation" the same way I am nearing the moon when I climb up on a chair. Strawman. I never said there would be hyperinflation. Superinflation is something somebody else introduced.

Why are you saying WOULD be disastrous? when we are already in the middle of the aftermath of that exact disaster? The 1995-2008 inflation has PROVEN to be disastrous to the world economy! Inflation has nothing to do with the current problems.

And it is still a mystery to my why you claim that Obama's policies have anything to do with it when it was George Bush who turned a surplus into the largest deficit in history. And he didn't even have Reagan's excuse because House and Senate BOTH were also Republican. And yet another one who cant tell the difference between "will" and "is". You might also want to examine how much of the Bush deficits were from defense or non-discretionary spending, and how much of the non-defense discretionary spending was under a Democratic majority.

Took him right up to the edge, and backed off before asking him, "But if you'd won the election, and 6 months into your term she'd sudenly decided to resign the Vice Presidency, would you still think she was making the right decision?"

Damn ... that would have been an instant hit on YouTube if he did ...

So I just have a question for the conservatives, you've been able to show a few obscure bloggers attacks on the Palin minor children and one disputed joke by a comic. What would the appropriate response be if DailyKos printed the worst sorts of hate agains those minor children? Specifically if they were called 'whores' and 'trash'?

This is shown as in reply to me, just for the record, I have never complained about attacks against nor supported SP.

As far as your hypothetical goes, there are laws against slander/libel/defamation of character that generally exempt such attacks on public figures. I would assume that the exemption do not extend to families of public figures. So there is a probably a legal remedy. Moreover, I would encourage the radical left to continue their venomous treatment of SP and her family. It only serves to alienate moderates and conservatives, and come 2012 every vote will count.

So the blog site and the individual posters should be sued for defamation? And you think it will alienate moderates and conservatives?

How very interesting.


Of course it wasn't actually DailyKos that did this nor was it actually Palin's kids that were viciously attacked. Anyone want to guess where the attacks were posted and who was attacked?

So now you claim if it was another prominent blog site it should be treated differently?
