Money doesn't make Class

[fintstone]

take the class..I will not waste that much of my time.....you obviously have more to learn than one could teach on a BBS if you think credit card debt is part of the Federal Deficit.

1. But of course you won't "waste your time." Because you can't back up the claim that taking a cruise and putting it on the national deficit would reduce said deficit.

2. The whole conversatoin started with the dollar declining in value and how the national debt has a play in it.

Then, of course, you and your conservative twisting tactics attempts to claim that I think credit card debt is part of the federal deficit.

You guys are so predictible.

No I don't. Nor can I have a cell phone or do personal things on my computer. Guess that is the price one pays....

Your own door? Good for you! Sounds like you have done well under the Republican administration.

1. Ok, but only briefly:

Clearly it would not increase the debt as you implied.

If you booked it through an American travel firm, or went on an US chartered cruiseline, or purchased airfare to the port....You would create taxable income for each of those entities which (taxes collected) would result in lowering the federal deficit.

2. Yes...you are wrong about that too.

Actually do well because of a couple things: 1. college. 2. hard worker.

Then, under the Bush administration, I was laid off for the first time in my life. Was lucky to find a job...there was one in all of chicago at that time in my field....I worked hard and studied tons of interview questions since I had only one chance.

So, sorry this administration didn't do anything for me.

What was you major?

Bush admin caused you to get laid off? When was that? Did you work for the federal government before?

You said that I've done well under the Bush administration. I said I got laid off for the first time under the Bush administration.

I'm simply telling you I did more poorly under the Bush administration than ever before in my career, so this statement "you did well under the Bush administration" is simply NOT TRUE.

What new crap are you going to make up on my statements now flintstone??????

1. So If I add a million dollars to the deficit, there will be enough taxable income in these purchases to not raise the debt, and in fact may lower it?

2. If you're going to declare I'm "wrong", then you really should have enough decency to tell me why you believe I'm "wrong." Tell me how the ballooning deficit is not affecting the value of the dollar.

The implication was clearly the Bush admin had something to do with it. I was only wondering how/why? What line of work (with their own door) did worse in Chicago due to Bush policy? Lots of new graduates in the class of 2003 got their first during the Bush administration too. Is that because of his policy or simply coincidence (their grad date)?

As far as you doing well under the current administration:

You don't have radio at work? Wow, they let me listen to a radio at work if I want, and they give me a computer too! And a room with a door! Guess I'm in the big time now

[cool_chick]

You sure read a hell of a lot of crap into my words. I honestly don't blame Bush for the downturn in the economy in 2002, but I can't honestly say I was doing well under this administration either.

How are you going to twist this statement?

Don't think the gov't really cares if YOU run up $1Mil of YOUR OWN debt -. Have the credit rating for it? They don't care. What they want is to TAX you for it. Gues where the tax goes? Paying for things the GOVT. ran up.

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding between personal debt and defecit.

1. If you are a million dollars in debt....yes...you have helped lower the national debt via taxes paid by those who supplied the million doallars worth of services. Your personal debt has no effect in increasing the national deficit.

2. You have changed the question. Your original premise was that the decreasing value of the dollar was increasing the deficit.

I think there is misunderstanding on your part. My original statement was this: charge for a cruise for everyone and send the bill to the government to pay...to add to it's deficit. Not using my own credit card.....

Now we all know this will never happen. However what I posted is in fact how it works. Trust me.

THERE YOU GO AGAIN! Twisting, changing what was said!

1. The bill for this trip is to be sent to the government to add to the deficit, since it doesn't matter anyway. I'm not putting it on my credit card. I'm sending it to be added to the deficit. It doesn't matter....we can run up the national deficit as much as we want with no reprocussions, right?

Ok you know what, I give up....go ahead, endorse high deficit...it's awesome, a beautiful thing....will not affect anything...we can go on like this forever!

Yea...party's on me. The deficit means nothing! Wanna take a cruise with me? Everyone...come along! We'll just add it to the deficit since it doesn't matter.

2. The original premise was the increasing deficit plays a part in decreasing the value of dollar.

You do realize this type of fiscal politics is very damaging in the way of the value of the dollar/inflation, etc...right?

You're out of control.

Maybe you do have a way of getting Uncle Sam to pay for my cruise? You're in Chicago right? Your name isn't Darleen by chance?

Only way you make sense.
