Where is the US economy headed?

@plainoldme,

You are incorrect.

ALL so-called 'public schools' are in fact GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS.

@H2O MAN,

Then, apparently, you do not mean -- as most right wingers do -- the federal government when you say government.

Surely, then you must approve of corporate schools.

I do not.

Are you trying to say that you do not approve of corporate schools?

@reasoning logic,

I said I don't approve of the GOVERNMENT school system.

The government school system that fails to teach it's students American history and basic economics.
The government school system that tells students that F is for Fantastic instead of failure.
The government school system that puts the demands of teachers unions above the needs of students.

It is pretty clear that the Reps want to ruin the country's economy, which would then enable them to kill off all social programs. They feel that the poor should just drop dead. This is the Ayn Rand (Randian) way.

They want the prosperity like what Stalin brought to Russia, or like Castro brought to Cuba, or what Hugo is now doing to Venezuela, H2OMAN.

@okie,

Are you being intellectually honest with yourself?

Really?

Can you name any group that you would consider to be lefties that have made a statement or comment like that?

If you can not, "do you think that you may need to knock off that retarded bull **** that you are trying to speak empirically about?

Your quote:
They want the prosperity like what Stalin brought to Russia, or like Castro brought to Cuba, or what Hugo is now doing to Venezuela

Even if you could find some off the wall people that may see things this way do they really represent the majority of the left?

okie is a sick man; his primary source for information is FOX News, and he parrots them without knowing about truth, facts, honesty, ethics, history, or reality.

He makes those ignorant statements about Obama, socialism, communism, fascism, and past and current leaders, without understanding who they were, and how they relate to our present political system.

Don't bother asking him for any credible source to back up his statements; it's a waste of time. He doesn't even realize he lies, then asks us to prove it - over and over! That's the epitome of stupid.

@cicerone imposter,

You may be correct but I do think you may be a little harsh about him being stupid!

If your environment was identical to his according to organic chemistry with my understanding which could be very wrong you would be him exactly!

What I am trying to say is forgive him of who he is! Life is not perfect until you fly a plane into a building and end up in paradise on the other side! LOL

He's one of those individuals who refuse to acknowledge his own lies even when we cut and paste from his own posts. Many of us have dealt with him for many years, so you're in no position to ask us to be patient or to forgive him his ignorance and stupidity. It's not harsh; what is harsh are his constant belittling of our president and liberals without so much as providing any balance or fairness.

He's treated the way he is, because no matter how often we correct him, he continues on the same parroting of false information and lies.

You are free to treat him with respect, but don't expect me to treat him any more than what he deserves.

@H2O MAN,

And I asked you whether in your idiolect government means the federal government or the local government in the form of school boards elected by the citizenry?

There is no federal school system. There are local school systems governed by local citizens who stand for election to the same. The school board is generally the "entry level" political office for many who go on to careers in public service.

Public service? My gosh! Is government made up of public servants???!!!!

It is you that repeats your false accusations without evidence. You spout your demeaning talk of others having no brains or intelligence, essentially crap, and then you expect people to believe it, ci, but it will not fly here or anywhere. When you accuse people of lying, that is a serious charge, and you need to grow up and at least provide a credible quote or something to support your charge. For example, when you have managed to think you have cut and paste what you consider lies, they are commonly misinterpreted or merely opinions rather than lies. Opinions are not lies, and I would hope you would be smart enough or adult enough to know the difference? I think you are old enough, after all you are retired, right? As you claim to have dealt with me, so have I with you, to the point of frustration, because you exhibit insufficient lack of apparent honesty to debate in a respectful and forthright manner. You appear to me to be wrapped up in your own self image of superior intelligence, but your posts do not support the false image that you apparently have of yourself.

Abuzz and a2k have demonstrated that most right wingers know nothing about history and fail to remember events that happened just last week.

All merely your opinion, ci, admit it.

Yes, those statements are my opinion, based upon careful long term examination of world events, both historical and present. I have backed up those opinions with credible facts and common sense. You are also entitled to your opinions as well. After all, I think this is still a free country with freedom of speech, is it not? For example, you are free to believe Obama is fully on board with free market capitalism, even though he was raised and mentored by many people with different affections, and clearly his policies now do not endorse free market capitalism in a fully endorsed manner, in my opinion. Millions also agree with me.

The epitome of stupid is instead you sitting there accusing others of lies without posting any shred of credible evidence to actually prove it. When you try, often it is a quote expressing my opinion, not a lie, or you misinterpret a statement and try to label it a lie when it is actually not. I have patiently tried in the past to explain some of those statements to you, but explaining to you is like water running off a duck's back.

POM, you have demonstrated your lack of knowledge and understanding of all things having to do with American history.

You make things up as you go and nobody on A2K understands what you are talking about... not even you.

America's economic dominance on the world stage could end in five years, according to a new report.

IMF Predicts Chinese Economy to Surpass U.S. in 2016

Standard & Poor's rating agency last week announced that it was downgrading the U.S. debt outlook from stable
to negative, warning that a failure to strike a deficit agreement could lead to a lower credit rating in the future.
