I'll watch Hannity, O'reilly, Maddow, Haynes.. But the most on point of all of them is always John Stewart.  |

Re: US Launches Air Strikes on Syria Islamic State Militants
The stimulus included direct spending in infrastructure, education, health, and energy, federal tax incentives, and expansion of unemployment benefits and other social welfare provisions. All pointless right?  The rationale was from Keynesian macroeconomic theory, which argues that, during recessions, the government should offset the decrease in private spending with an increase in public spending in order to save jobs and stop further economic deterioration. By February 2014, it saved or created an average of 1.6 million jobs a year between 2009 and 2012, thus averting another Great Depression. |

Sadly Jon is the best of the bunch, that goes for nearly all the official news outlets. Even though his show is a comedic perspective, it's the least bias and filled with the most pertinent information.

I am going to view this as a large scale live fire exercise on living targets.

Re: US Launches Air Strikes on Syria Islamic State Militants
Just a matter of time before it happens. My country, Australia, is finalising the legal framework to allow it to conduct operations inside Iraq. We currently have aircraft and special forces troops stationed at Camp Baird conducting joint training missions. Looks like we're going in. |

Re: US Launches Air Strikes on Syria Islamic State Militants
Is it Russians driving or is it rebels? I'll look into it. The thing is, if Russia decided to they could take all if the Ukraine in a couple of days...... Or at least put the hammer down in Crimea..... Seems like a back & forth battle right now. |

Re: US Launches Air Strikes on Syria Islamic State Militants
I've already acknowledged that there were massive failures, this being one of them...... I also acknowledged that the obamacare rollout ( and that includes the website) has been a disaster..... At the same time though, healthcare reform wasn't optional and the bailouts/stimulus were not either The alternative to stimulus spending could have been another depression...... As bad as things were, it's getting better all the time and the economy is a lot better now than it was 6 years ago. |
