You characterized me as a male basher because I posted feminist comments about the inequal treatment between men and women. I later said that the men in my life have been no good and I choose to live alone. I ALSO said that some of my best friends are men and I know there are good men out there, they are just all taken~ dont you remember? You calling me a male basher based on that is no different than my saying you speak like an elitist based on YOUR comments. You cant have it both ways. Im sorry you cant be big enough to shake hands and call a truce. Im sure I'll live though...... |

My point with the increments under W was and is that for a recession, the numbers under W are historically low. However, when I made that comment you called me a clueless elitist who had no idea what it meant to be poor, which in no way refuted that 1.4% growth in four years to 12.7% in a recession is rather good.

And I conceded that one of the comments you posted was from Bill O Reilly, but the other one was in your words which I posted. Twice. see post #167. Suze asked you if you had seen the link/graph and you said: Quote:

Similarly, I never said W has done a better job than Clinton in this regard because the poverty level consistently decreased during Clinton's administration as opposed to consistently increasing under W's. Thus, W has not done as good a job as Clinton did at controlling the poverty levels and I never said that. The above is a separate thought and issue from W's ability to control the poverty level in a recession to the point where it rose only 1.4% in four years to 12.7%, which that graph indicates is still historically low, esp. for a recession. Moreover, W is throwing 14% of the budget at that 12.7% in an effort to stop further growth. Hopefully, this historical increase in money will be a good thing and it is, I believe, more than Clinton ever allotted when the poverty level was at higher points than now in his administration. The additional money does not mean W is doing better than Clinton at controlling the poverty rate, which I think you think is what I am saying. It just means it is costing W more money to control what Clinton could with less money. Thus, W fails in the Clinton comparison test here as well. If you take that to mean I said W is doing a better job despite the umpteenth and hopefully final explanation, so be it, but you are incorrect for thinking that. |

Spending Cuts Unlikely To Finance Much Hurricane Relief POSTED: 8:22 am CDT September 22, 2005 UPDATED: 8:40 am CDT September 22, 2005 WASHINGTON -- Washington lawmakers are having trouble figuring out where to get the cash to pay for hurricane recovery. Katrina-related spending is already at $62 billion and could go to $200 billion. And there's no telling how much Hurricane Rita might cost. The question is where will that money come from. Some suggest delaying the Medicare prescription drug benefit. Others say cut Amtrak subsidies, crop supports, grants to state and local governments and hometown projects. Still others offer federal spending freezes, stripping "pork barrel" projects out of already approved bills, increasing airline ticket taxes or stopping construction of two new federal prisons. All those ideas have pretty much been rejected or ignored. A group of House conservatives has announced "Operation Offset" but members admit there is no agreement on a roster of spending cut ideas. www.wdsu.com |
