It would seem that these would be 40 economists that believe one can spend his way out of a fiscal hole. Not that the GOPers are any smarter, they all believe the same thing, only disagreeing at the margins.

Can't pay it off by spending more either (Stimulus)You mean we really can't pay off debt by cutting taxes?
Cut Taxes: Republicans
Increase Taxes: Democrats
Cut Spending: Neither Party
You see the little game they play with us?

Just for shits, show us all how much raising taxes on the rich will pay down that deficit... You don't even have to show cause and effect with loss of investment and jobs due to raising taxes, you can pretend if you have 80% unavoidable taxes that people would just love to pay it if you like.
All I want is a number on how much taxes have to be raised, on who and how much revenue that pulls in to pay down the deficit. This should be easy for a smart guy like yourself who never just blurts out stupid talking points with no information to back their shit up.
Good illustration of how the republicans care deeply about the deficit until it comes time to actually pay it down.

Isn't it better to increase taxes when you increase spending?
LOL, A SURVEY of 40 economist...
I know, that's what I thought... It's like they went out of their way to make the poll/survey meaningless by asking as few people as they possibly could.
Seriously, they asked like a classroom size of people what their opinion is on something... How broad can this "spectrum" be with so few people?
They snagged ferret face Krugman's Rolodex and surveyed them.LOL, A SURVEY of 40 economist...
I know 80 economist that thinks the GOP is on the right track. that report is a lot like polls, who paid for it and what did they want it to say. Lets move on to something with some substance to it.

What is funny is all the economists that thought Bush or Obama was on the right track... then the economy tanks and gets worse. This proves that an economist is really nothing more than a guy with an opinion. I mean, what creates the credibility when 90% of the time these guys are wrong? Now that is true across the spectrum of economists.
If I were to listen to an economist it would at least be people that could predict the bubbles and WHY we got them Not people that thought everything will be great because things were great, then think things are chit because things are chit How about asking the people who actually predict the future of the economic situation and get it right rather than ask people that only see the economic future of that given day.
Here is what it looks like when someone can predict an economic future and shows their work.

OK, I'll give you an honest answer
The rich are taxed at the lowest rate in 50 years. While increasing their taxes to previous rates will not erase the debt immediately, it will do so over the next 50 years.
They will not take out their modest tax increase on their employees, they did not do so under Clinton and the economy boomed.
During the Republican debates, the candidates were asked if they would raise taxes by one dollar if it were accompanied by ten dollars in spending cuts
Not one of them raised their hand
"Conservatives" as defined by whom?They snagged ferret face Krugman's Rolodex and surveyed them.LOL, A SURVEY of 40 economist...
Dear OldBalls,
You should read the post more clearly. They survived both Conservatives and Liberals. You're starting to show what a dumbass you are. Though, this might be your strategy all along.

Ok, good start RW and I'll be polite back.
Do you have a number, a % that taxes need to be raised on the rich? Do you have a number for what the "rich" are, a base income.
You can't even get them to admit that tax cuts are no different than spending.
What?
Did someone hack your account to make you look like an idiot?
It's only "spending" if you presume that 100% of what I earn belongs to gubmint.You can't even get them to admit that tax cuts are no different than spending.
What?
Did someone hack your account to make you look like an idiot?
Are you agreeing that tax cuts are indeed spending or are you saying that they are not?

Lets start by repealing the Bush tax cuts. Lets start with people with over $200,000 in taxable income over the next 50 years
