Mr. Blunt and Cranky is bestowing this week’s Crown O’ Polished Turds upon any and everyone who is still pushing Voodoo Economics. They do so in spite of the recent Congressional Research Service analysis that proved that Supply-Side Economics Does. Not Work. Period. End of Story. Mourners, please omit flowers.
One would think that the GOP (and some few Dems) would be changing their tune, given the news. After all, if what they are proposing to do would damage the economy, run up deficits, and possibly foment civil unrest, surely any responsible politician would change course, for the good of the nation. One would think that, and one would be wrong. Why?
The one effect that supply-side HAS had is the concentration of wealth among the top 1% of Americans. This is the primary funding source of the “Republican” party in this day and age, and that is what their priority is: the pipeline of cash (legal and otherwise) that lines their pockets and bloats their offshore bank accounts.
“Give us more time”, they say; “trust us”, as they siphon money from our pockets. Perhaps one might be inclined to give them said time, were it not for this little fact: the supply-siders who have had 3 ½ decades to prove their plan will work (and want more time) are the same people who are saying that President Obama should be thrown from office for not fixing the Great Recession in 3 ½ years.
Got that? They have had ten times as long to make their case, and want more time; time that they will not give to the other party. Feh. They know that their theory is bogus, and rather than act in a patriotic manner, they are choosing to continue lining their pockets at our expense.
Throw them out, the lot of them, the lying, sneaking, pilfering, cheating scumbags.

I couldn’t have said it better! Americans are so inept in economics that they just don’t understand supply side (“Trickle Down”) economics. It has never worked and never will because of GREED! The rich at the top will throw but CRUMBS down to the middle and lower classes and THEN ONLY IF IT LINES THEIR POCKETS. But stay tuned….Obama let that dingbat Romney run his mouth at the first debate. The Dems know he tells a lie a minute so Obama kept silent & let him hang himself. In the south it’s known as “Give him a rope and he’ll hang himself”. Obama gave him LOTS OF ROPE during that first debate. How the Christian right can vote for such a liar and a cult member is beyond me. I am ashamed that Franklin Graham has held Romney up. I am a Southern Baptist & I know for a fact that the Southern Baptists have ALWAYS taught that Mormonism is a cult. For Franklin Graham to flip-flop on this issue is hypocrisy to the hilt. He must have learned it from Romney!
I’m not that much of a online reader to be honest but your site is great, thanks!
