Anyway, on to your other rants: we are not suffering from stagflation. Fairly close to it, but not there yet. So don't throw out words you found in a website. You have no idea what causes stagflation and why that has little to do with the topic. I have noticed that you like to throw out such words to create the illusion that you know what you are talking about, but in general, you use them wrong.

As for the deficit, so what? Deficits are not always bad. And for the most part it is irrelevant to the discussion at hand. This is another tendency I have noticed from you. When you feel that you position is being eroded, you through in something completely irrelevant and pretend that is what the debate is all about. It isn't.

Once again you continue to insist that I said something I didn't. I already said that the President doesn't have much to do with the economy, yet either you haven't read (or more likely have not understood) that or you are just a dishonest prat who thinks she is fooling everyone by insisting upon that.

As for personal success, I agree. I have done very well for myself this past 8 years. Has little to do with Bush, though not wasting more money in taxation certainly doesn't hurt.
