Weren't we just being told how great...

Anytime the left proclaims success in anything, I always wait for the revised statistics to come out.

Good morning, Lukey!

Easy come, easy go I guess. But it seems the left is always projecting the success of their policy agenda, only to again and again and again be proven to be completely wrong.

Hey MP - good morning!

And yes, the left seems to be of the notion that heads they win and tails you lose. Krugman is the master at twisting the facts so that no matter what, he's right. First he decried the (heartless) sequester spending cuts, predicting economic armageddon, and then when the economic statistics finally perked up he claimed that a) the "austerity" wasn't as severe as he had expected and b) that the better economic stats were the result not of the "austerity" but because we didn't cut further. @Arkady is the closest we have to a Krugman here (I suspect because he worships the Krugtron and has memorized his every utterance).

"The Left"? I don't suppose you would want me to point out any of the dubious claims of "the right".

See people on the right know what's fucked up about the right and it bothers them. The left is NEVER wrong and NEVER admits being wrong - EVER.

Funnier still....It is mostly the generalities from you and others here about "the left" that I read here...Rarely do I read acknowledgements from people here about what went wrong in the last 30 years with republican ideology.

"The left" is never wrong? I've read a number of people here writing about what the Democratic party has done wrong....like those who voted to give Bush the authority to go to war in Iraq....or the compromises Obama made related to taxes....

Wouldn't phase me a bit. I had plenty of opportunity to do so when Bushco was running the show, the highlight being my immediate reaction to the claim that the Iraq War would cost less than $50 billion - I said that it would easily cost four or five times that (if only I had been right, am I right?)/

That's the really funny part - when you guys call Obama wrong for not being wrong enough on economic policies....

hahahahahahaha....

Voting to invade Iraq was not wrong. Staying was.

Of course you'd see not taxing enough as a problem. ahahahahahaha... classic.

Is there anything wrong with Obamacare, anything?

You said "the left" never offers criticism of itself. I think generalizations of "the left" or "the right" is....in general...silly. There is no gathering of left or right to decide on anything.

Easier to make statements about republicans or democrats. Democrats have criticized the policies of Obama and the democrats in congress.

Voting to give Bush unchecked authority to invade Iraq based on questionable intel was an amazing act of political cowardice.

There are a lot of things I'd change with regard to the tax system. I'm a conservative and believe that tax revenues must match spending. You cannot do tax cuts unless you have first cut spending. It was Reagan's lack of fiscal responsibility that made me stay home on election day in 1984. Remember Mondale's statement? We should have listened to him.

"By the end of my first term, I will reduce the Reagan budget deficit by two‑thirds. Let's tell the truth. It must be done, it must be done. Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won't tell you. I just did."

Goes to show you that Obama in his heart of hearts is a flaming commissar wannabe who after a 7 year of tax payer sponsored education learns he was wrong all along

Being in favor of tax cuts in all circumstances is not conservative...it is just republican.

And being in favor of tax growth to destroy the economy? Democratic


but just to show you once again how wrong you are again:

It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now … Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy which can bring a budget surplus.”

John F. Kennedy, Nov. 20, 1962, president’s news conference

Mondale would not have the spine to reduce the debt...just tax more like Obama to claim reduced deficits while the debt rises
