Enquiring minds want to know.<br /><br />@PRY-THRU THE TIME WARP- Eloquently, accurately, and tragically put. That's exactly where I see our nation right now.<br /><br />@JustaJeepGuy- I don't think Hillary is <i>under</i> much of a bus, because I think the MSM agrees "what does it matter?" It didn't matter to them before, it doesn't matter to them now, and it won't matter to them in the future.<br /><br />@John the Econ- When I speak about having lost faith in the electoral system, it's precisely because I believe that many (most) <i>will</i> "never get it." <br /><br />Regarding "Potential GNP," I think it should be put in a potential burlap bag and dropped into the potentially deepest part of the ocean. Seriously, Krugman would have more credibility if he suggested forming a commission to harvest the gold at the ends of rainbows.<br /><br />@Red- The idiocy attached to not shaving Nidal Hassan is just more of what got so many American servicepeople killed and wounded at Ft Hood: a desire to make political correctness more important than human life. Hassan is still, technically, in the military and so should be held to its dress code without a second thought. Frankly, I think his face should be bikini-waxed so the problem won't present itself again for quite awhile.<br /><br />And per your comments about Mars, it <i>is</i> rather amazing that we put so much stock in finding life elsewhere in the universe when we care so little about it right here on Earth.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-70704214115790315632013-01-26T08:49:14.892-06:002013-01-26T08:49:14.892-06:00I don't know about Hillary being thrown under ...I don't know about Hillary being thrown under the bus.

This administration disgusts me.The majority of liberal voters disgusts me. I hope and pray the tide will turn and our country will return to some common sense decency and better priorities.

A crooked lawyer who worked the coverup of a crooked S&L? What difference does it make? Took payoffs in the form of mysterious "cattle future trades"? What difference does it make? A few more Americans dead overseas? What difference does it make?<br /><br />Indeed.<br /><br />Meanwhile, my intellectual counter-pal Paul Krugman came up with a gem that almost overshadows his "trillion dollar coin" idea: <b>"Potential GDP".</b><br /><br />Yes, that's right. Obama's spending spree and addition to the deficit isn't really all that big if instead of reality, you compare it to the "potential GDP" of America.<br /><br />You see, sooner or later, the Solyndras, windmills, and billions spent on food stamps and extending unemployment benefits are going to pay off big time while eventually, our health care costs are going to plummet under ObamaCare, doubling, or even tripling America's GDP. That's the GDP Obama's budget should be compared to, in which case the government's share of the economy would only be 6.5% instead of the current >21.5%.<br /><br />Now, this all seems like complete nonsense to me, but then again, Krugman was once a adviser to ENRON, so he knows far more about sophisticated bookkeeping and high finance than I do.John the Econnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-14640198820782685422013-01-26T06:28:00.845-06:002013-01-26T06:28:00.845-06:00@PRY-THRU THE TIME WARP, I am afraid you are right...@PRY-THRU THE TIME WARP, I am afraid you are right.
