1. "It's pretty much nonsense to anyone else."
The OpEd is an understanding based on the terrible situation we find ourselves in economically.
Would you argue the opposite is true?
No...then it's pretty much not nonsense.
2. You might re-read the thread...and you will note that most folks, on both sides, have no trouble dealing with the import....and are hardly "conservative idealogues (sic)."
Perhaps Shakespeare can explain the problem: "The fault, dear Brutus, lies not in our stars, but in ourselves (yoursefl)..."
3. "TARP was enacted under George W Bush. Not Obama."
Clearly this note was over your head....let me help. Mr. Will did not say
that TARP was enacted by Obama...
...read again, and you will note same.
He is pointing out that warnings of impending disaster, i.e., if the Debt Ceiling were not raised, is as much a fraud.
Got it? Those who cried disaster in either case are prevaricators.
Was that too nuanced?
4. "At this point in 1983, Reagan ...blah, blah, blah...."
Did you find a reference to Presidnet Reagan? Well, re-read. Still no?
To poll numbers? No?
Do you realize that when one looks up "incoherent" in the dictionary, one finds your
picture.
5. So, re-read item #7, and you will find it deals with the said "blunders," healthcare, a fabricated crisis, and the 'stimulus,' which failed miserably.
Would you claim that Obamacare is a popular legislation?
No?
Would you claim that the 'stimulus' proved successful?
No?
Well, then, what have we learned?
a) You have misjudged the OP.
b) Your attentiveness and/or reading skills could use a bit of brushing up.
My reading skills are fine, thanks.
I read and understand the words you're writing in the OP, and find no point to them.
Taken together they are meaningless tripe that only has some sort of significance to right-wing idealogues, like George Will, or yourself.
Perhaps there are some lone individuals that are not conservative, but have been exposed to the right-wing echo chamber enough to make sense of it, but other than that, you're really not making any sense.
As far as the Reagan comparison goes: The very first line of your OP summarizes the lines that follow as a comparison between Reagan and Obama.
The same can be said of the Bush/TARP comment. Why include references TARP at all, since it is not part of either situation in the comparison?
Seriously, you've philosophized yourself into a hole here. There is really no point to the OP. It's basically right-wing philosophic masturbation.
