    Democrats are really dumb about this simple concept. For example, the Cash for Clunkers boondoggle. FedCo paid people to destroy older cars. So they took something of value, and transformed it into something of lesser value, the exact opposite of creating wealth. But since FedCo spent money, they think it was good for the economy.

    Then, not so soon later, the cost of used cars skyrocketed. And Democrats see no connection.

    It would be laughable if it wasn't so sad.

    Again you can't man-up and admit a simple truth. You create an excuse and call it garbage because it destroys your position.

    OK, but what you haven't done is make the connection between manufacturing and growing an economy.

    Merely manufacturing things doesn't grow an economy...what grows the economy is when those things you manufactured are sold.

    The economy does not grow by $1 if you are manufacturing something...but the economy does grow if that $1 is used to buy the thing you manufactured.

    The reason why Conservative economics always ends up in a recession is because you don't accept the sole truth of economics, that demand, not supply, is what drives the economy.

    That's why every single Conservative President since Nixon has left behind a stinking wreck of an economy for the Democrat to clean up.

    No, wealth is created in the exchange of currency for goods.

    THAT is how wealth is created.

    Wealth is not created by stocking your warehouse with surplus manufactured goods...that doesn't create wealth, that creates debt...because you have the debt you incurred when you manufactured the product that can only be recouped by sales and revenue.

    Conservatives always fail because they do not understand this principle of economics.

    The net result of that was economic growth and job creation, so I guess you oppose growth and job creation because you can't wrap your head around the economics of either.

    Well because of demand.

    Do you not support supply and demand?

    LMAO!

    I quoted your sentence in full and responded to that quoted sentence in full.

    What are you complaining about?

    You might think so and you're only thinking that because of how I'm schooling you on economics on this thread.

    So you're searching for something to make me feel as insecure as I make you feel all the time, and that's something only a fucking pussy would do.

    I didn't selectively edit anything...I quoted the first sentence of your post and responded to that.

    Why are you lying? Anyone can look at the thread and see for themselves.

    You selectively edited the portion that destroyed your position.

    No I didn't. It was the whole sentence, period and all.

    You're trying to say that I didn't quote your entire post, but I wasn't bothering to address the rest of your entire post.

    I was focusing on the first sentence you wrote in order for YOU to organize your thoughts since they're so erratic.

    You're welcome for that, by the way.

    I'm out here helping you organize your thoughts and this shit is the thanks I get?

    Anyone can see the thread and see that you're lying.

    I didn't selectively edit anything...I quoted that sentence in full and responded to it for your benefit.

    A little gratitude would be nice.

    Also, kind of a bitch move to not include the link to the actual post...but innuendo is pretty much all you're capable of at this point.

    So when we look at this thumbnail, what do we see? We see you being quoted in full, not selectively.
