DC Tom Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Remember when I accused you of obfuscating? You think anyone here believes you know what "obfuscate" means, when you can't even define "earnings?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Dumbed down by us? Ummm, we're not the one that doesn't know the difference between corporate debt and sovereign debt. Lol, no, you clowns are arguing that the size of the economy has nothing to do with how much a country can raise in the bond market. Just stupid, stupid, stupid. Question of obfuscation to follow, I presume? Aw, come on - that's the best you've got? You could have at least called me a 'slim' again. Sorry. Ummmm....how about, you are not worth my best insults, slim? I called you slim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just stupid, stupid, stupid. I'm not. I'm trying to figure out how the the US's potential earnings affect it's credit rating "a lot!" If that were the case the US would have no credit rating because it would have gone out of business a long time ago. Hence my accusing you of not knowing the difference between corporate debt and sovereign debt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Really? Yes. You argued that government spending as a percentage of our GDP was necessary for borrowing. The fact that our domestic economy is almost 17T had nothing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started all this. Shall we begin again? You don't like GDP to be a measure of how much we can borrow, right? I think it makes sense that the bigger our economy, the more we can borrow. I also said borrowing helps keep taxes lower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 You started all this. Shall we begin again? You don't like GDP to be a measure of how much we can borrow, right? I said that the argument that government spending should be indexed to GDP is absurd. I said nothing even similar to what you just attributed to me. I think it makes sense that the bigger our economy, the more we can borrow. OK I also said borrowing helps keep taxes lower While that's true in a vaacum, it's an incomplete statement. Given various economic conditions, it can increase taxes. It also ignores the notion that current spending levels, much less increased spending, may well be unsustainable and economically irresponsible policy.
