but energy price spikes have nothing to do with "voodoo" economics.

>>>Not directly, anyway. Voodoo economics HAS caused the dollar to slide and the weak dollar is partially responsible for the spike. The Arabs don't want our dollar.

Nah, everything is Dubya's fault - even Carter's failed executive decisions.

Yeah, what's a little double digit inflation coupled with double digit unemployment and double digit interest rates, among friends. Americans have it too good - bring back stagflation.

Sure - Inflation under 5% through 2007 is a bad thing - Unemployment under 6% is a bad thing - interest rates dropping below 5% to consumers sure screws us.
Ah Pat - you are a complete idiot - never change.

What is it which defines "Voodoo economics" to you, George?

How many hostages would have gotten out alive if Bush W. was president then?
Answer: zero
|
Carter did not care about the hostages, he only cared about saving face.
That's why Democrats created the Iran-contra hoax.

Since the Clinton 1999 "London loophole", Democrats took over Congress and declared the war on terrorism lost:
Oil prices are 7.5 times higher.
Gasoline prices are almost 3 times higher.
Democrats are raping Americans.

For all you out there that don't speak "progressivese", allow me to explain, this phrase basically translate to: "I am too stupid to know."
This phrase is a classic in illustrating progressive psychology. Notice how not only does he claim to know, but he also has to attack the person asking the question. Both are simple defense mechanisms where the progressive shows his obsessive need to prove his intellectual superiority over other humans. Of course being a progressive, this is impossible to demonstrate via the use of logic or reason, so instead the progressive resorts to his standard: deny and attack.

George, did you complete high school? Serious question.
For me, I would never use a term as ignorant as "Voodoo Economics." I do find it ironic that you would apply it to Dubya, since it was Bush 41 who coined the term.
Tell me this George, do the names "Milton Freidman, Ludwig Von Mises and Murray Rothbard" have any meaning to you? Have you ever encountered the names before?
How about John Maynard Keynes?
I'm just curious.
