Here's a lesson for Power Line. They should just listen to Paul Krugman.
By John Amato Tuesday Sep 30, 2008 9:15pmWingnut---Bush deniers will never learn....
Of course, everything is political - so if you google the article, high on the list you find this delightful screed from Powerline, which says that I was just looking for something to complain about amidst the Bush Boom, and concludes:
[T]here is little reason to fear a catastrophic collapse in home prices.
Krugman will have to come up with something much better, I think, to cause many others to share his pessimism.
Memories, memories.

Hi John, I was wondering if you could include dates with the quotes?

Marcy, if you click on the links you will be rewarded with the answer.
The Bush Bubble Burst!
Anothergreenbus @ 6:
It was a shit bubble much to you Yanks chagrin!

latte sipping, limp-wristed cowards, ALL OF YOU.

burpster @ 5:
Sorry, I'm new at this whole "internets" thing. McCain sent me a letter through the US mail and said I'd better find out about it. Anyway, thanks for the tip.
good one, marcy!
you'll get the hang of it!
burpster @ 7:
Ya know, just the term "shit bubble" grosses me out. That should be the term used for the entire Bush administration.
bullfrog @ 8:
Careful, Palin will hunt you from the air! (Such a sportswoman!)
Since these guys are SO wrong SO often, can we outsource them to Mexico? And while we're at it, can we send the rest of the economic punditry like Robert Samuelson, James Glassman, John Fund, The Heritage Foundation, Brookings Institution, and the rest of the free-market globalization shills to India and China for pundits who are just as wrong but work for 1/10 the price?
The robbery of Americans continues using panic as the guise:

Check out Senator Bernie Sanders' speech tonight:
Wow:
If you think this bailout is a good idea, here are few important videos that explain how badly flawed this bailout is.

Congressman Dr. Ron Paul Bail Out could Destroy the Dollar
YOU DON’T PAY BAD DEBT WITH MORE BAD DEBT!
Don't mean to belabor this, but Ron Paul was warning about this bubble in 2003...
But I suppose that's because he was getting his ideas from tea leaves and chicken bones?
Might as well have been, because most of the Keynesians act like Austrian Economics is tea leaves and chicken bones.
I recommend "Fiat Empire". It explains WHY the current fiat model is doomed to fail.
"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function." - Albert A. Bartlett, physicist
When will a wingnut (any of them) ever step up and take resposibility for being WRONG about EVERYTHING, and for totally destroying America, in order to replace it with this coroprate fascist shitpile government?
If one of those pasty-faced, closet cases like Larry Kudlow ever tried to give me that "Wal Street needs help every 25 or 50 years, but that's not socialism bullshit," that asshole would be pickin' his chicklets up off the floor.
These conservatard morons sit around for years drilling holes in the hull of the boat, and denigrate anyone who tells them "its not a smart thing to do" as the ship continues to take on water and flounder. Then when the captain finally announces the ship IS going down (about the same time the entire bow goes under) these same assholes are the first ones on to the life-boats (which there is a Titanic shortage of)," and then blame everyone else for the ship going down.
I really, really loathe those sociopathic conserative jackasses.
feels great to
be an american,
doesn't it?

VegasRage @ 16:
its a time buyer....we all know that
look, we have an idiot for a president, who for some reason (my choice is god is the ultimate comic) lucked out like daddy, when he was able to divert everyone's attention to some foreign war
we know the congress is controlled by the corporatists...we know that
we know that pelosi is a fraud
but seriously...can we do nothing?
i couldnt collect from clients at the end of this past month because most didnt have the money....cuz other vendors beat me to it, and their bridge loans didnt come through
so now, i will spend tomorrow hoping to collect, and if i cant...im really fucked, cuz i have my own vendors to pay (oh and rent is due)
ya...i suck at biz....i know that
at least i was smart and moved all my ira into precious metals about 4 months ago
i may have to borrow from myself and worry about the penalty come april...
but i really am scared...really
for the first time in my life
James @ 17:
paul is no fucking genius
he, like nader, is a motherfucking shit disturber
anyone with a brain knew the end was near...and before 2003
and not just cuz of the loan debacle
how long could america last without a manufacturing base
well...we just found out....8 fucking years
and bush 1 was basically telling everyone that this would happen when he ran against reagan, and called it voodoo economics
ya...it works for a bit, cuz alot of money comes into the system...but like all ponzi and pyramid schemes....it cannot survive
This bailout is a money diluter. It will send inflation through the roof, and we will likely print trillions before it is over because old Bernanke is a currency print whore.
Let's say I have dollar currency Kool-aid, enough for 20 people to have a full glass of pure cool refreshing Kool-aid. I have 10 friends who want a glass and they all drink heartily, aaaaaaah that was good. They tell their friends about how good it was and now there are 40 people who want some refreshing Kool-aid but I only have enough for 10 more glasses, what to do what to do? OH I know I’ll add 60 glasses of bailout water (in case anyone else comes along) a little dye and some sugar to keep it sweet they’ll never notice. They drink heartily aaaaaaaaah yuk! That tasted awful, now how did that happen?
It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a reception that, when not bored, is hostile. ~The Observant Assrocket 2005~
I'm with Uncle Joe. Crikey, my husband--manufacturing engineer turned programmer--has been railing about the dangers of the loss of manufacturing since at least the mid-nineties. Heck, he should be holding Ron Paul's seat if that's sum of the criteria. (At least he's not an anti-choice evolution denier pretending to be both libertarian and reality-based.) Anyone with the brains/experience to cringe when the talking heads started using the phrase "supply-side economics" with a straight face again could tell you that the chickens would come home to roost by the end of the Bush Regime. The so-called prosperity of the 80s was credit-financed. Just like the SUVs and McMansions have been during the past decade or so. I don't know about you, but I sure remember being kicked right in the @$$ when the Reaganomics house of cards finally came down. And I didn't have any debt whatsoever at the time. Gaaaagh--The past eight years has been like a worse remake of an already bad movie. But people keep buying tickets. And $8 buckets of popcorn. And $2 Snickers bars. And... Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
'k. Rant over. Must get back to staying employed...
