They have to know that raising the refi cap to 125% is beyond stupid. Are they really so crooked that they are determined to drive the economy into the ground? Sometimes you wonder. They have to know better. |

Of course it responded to your comments regarding tricky Dick and Ford and you can, to a lesser extent throw in Eisenhower. The first two as near as I can figure thought the only thing wrong with LBJ's Great Society Programs was that we were not fully funding it now and they tried to change that which lead by the end of Carter's term where in the same balderdash was done to an economy that was in the toilette. |

Rep Power: 46 | | Quote: Asked by This Week’s George Stephanopoulos about the Obama Administration’s terrible economic prognostications in advance of passage of the $787 billion “stimulus” spending bill back in February, Vice President Joe Biden regurgitated a familiar talking point:
Stephanopoulos: While we've been here, some pretty grim job numbers back at home — 9.5 percent unemployment in June, the worst numbers in 26 years. How do you explain that? Because when the president and you all were selling the stimulus package, you predicted at the beginning that, to get this package in place, unemployment will peak at about 8 percent. So, either you misread the economy, or the stimulus package is too slow and too small.
Biden: The truth is, we and everyone else misread the economy.
Of course, if you eliminate the “and everyone else” from that sentence, he’s simply stating the painfully obvious. The only appropriate response to such a sentence is a sarcastic: DUHH!!!
The “and everyone else” part is the big, well-rehearsed lie. VP Biden: “We misread the economy” and other lies
