But cutting taxes when you can borrow money at a negative interest rate is really smart.
Negative interest rate?

... it could be a stepping stone on the way to the first woman president.
Does the president's gender matter?

Yes, a negative interest rate. Did you have a question?
The question mark should have been a dead giveaway. Perhaps you could clarify what it is you mean by a 'negative interest rate'.

No. That was just my way of expressing support for Elizabeth Warren.
You support her because she's female?
Can I ask why you tend to pick out the most innocuous things from my posts that don't relate whatsoever to the main point I was making?
You made a point of her being a woman, something anyone could have figured out just by looking at her name. On top of this you mentioned that she would be the first female president, another point hardly missed by anyone aware of the fact that she's a female.
When people state the obvious, it's usually to give it emphasis, to draw the audience's attention toward the subject.
Unless I've misinterpreted something, I suppose my question still stands: why does the president's gender matter?

Love your enemies!

It's a loan where the interest rate is a negative number instead of a positive one.
I don't see how my meaning is particularly unclear. You'll have to ask a more specific question, I guess.
There are different ways for a loan to have a negative interest rate. I'm trying to figure out which particular format of a 'loan where the interest rate is a negative number' it is you're talking about.
Are you talking about a nominally negative interest rate, or just a negative real interest rate?
Or perhaps something else?

Love your enemies!

If Elizabeth Warren had a penis, I would still advocate for him to be elected the senator of Massachussets with the hope of being president someday.
Fair enough.
Or is too much to ask that you read to understand the points being made rather than the words that were chosen to express those points?
Is it possible to ignore the latter while still understanding the former?

Love your enemies!

All they care about is this. There's a black guy in office. His health care reform is the single cause for all of society's problems.
Anything other than your visit with sis to back this up?

Why didn't you say so in the first place? Negative real.
And how exactly would it be negative real interest?

...who do nothing but create demand.
And just what do you think motivates people to produceyou know, create jobs?
It certainly isn't a whole lot of people sitting around not wanting to buy their product.

They live their sweet lives toward the top of the food chain and they look down and see everyone below them as lazy bastards.
Luckily us 'lazy bastards' outnumber folks like your brother-in-law.
And that means a lot in a democracy.

Re: didn't pay a cent
Its the fact that they were smart and worked hard that made their business.
That and having sidewalks, lemonade, and wood, among other things.
I don't think that anybody thinks that they could have built their business without any infrastructure.
Maybe not; but there are plenty of people who think they don't have to credit infrastructure's contribution to their business.
Cognitive dissonance that is.

Re: Ryan Good; Very Good ... for Democrats
So what you're saying is that you think Ryan will make Romney not appear to suck as bad as he actually does?
I don't buy it. Especially since most of the things on your list are just bullshit.
Edited by Jon, : No reason given.
