Bonddad aka Hale Stewart:
The continuation of the recovery is dependent on politicians doing the right thing. Last week's debate about unemployment benefits was without a doubt one of the most Kafkaesque events I have ever witnessed in my lifetime. Not since someone floated the idea that we can win a land war in Asia has Washington done something so mind-numbingly stupid.
What I find most disturbing is how incredibly stupid and ignorant Washington is about simple economics. I have posted the GDP equation several times to illustrate how incredibly ignorant the "government spending can't help" argument is; it is purely counter-factual and exists only in a the realm of political dogma. Yet that does not stop this incredibly idiotic argument from gaining traction in political dialog.
I am Frank Chow and I wish I said this
