Why is this so hard for you to understand??? Where are all thses so-called holes in what I, and many leading econimists, are recommending???

This is becoming just like another Iraq debate with you, T... You were wrong then and you are wrong now... But this time you don't have the bad intellegence to blame on it...

It is apparent that you have cast your vote with the monied class... No wiggle in the world can change peoples perception that that is indeed where yoiu come down on this issue...
