Then drives it home with trade with Commie China hurting jobs.
LOL... and also blaming the industrial-military complex.
Natalie brought that whole group down. Listen to their album from last year— all Natalie, all the time, it was almost as if the others were marching along as slaves.
Hope you enjoy your sellout tours— in Canada.
Has Huggabee ever heard of Stafford loans for college?
Me too. Maybe I should just go for broke and break out the chocolate as well. Oh yeah!
Has Fred Thompson been asked a question yet?
Hey, I know you hate Paul’s critiquie of the Federal Reserve and the Military-Indusrial complex but he didn’t call for income redisribution . You must really hate Paul, however, to resort to lies, especially since everyone hear actually saw what he said.
President Duncan Hunter
LOL
Go Duncan Hunter!!!!!
Huckabee also sounding good. Hunter too, draggin on China taking our jobs. Plans to bring the jobs back.
Hunter takes a dig at Thompson re: China trade deal
Hunter calling for quid pro quo with Red China to boost American industry.
And, of course, he is right.
Really a stupid thing to say on the same day the DOW will post it highest close EVER.
Guess someone better point out to Paulbots that we just had the 49th month of Job GROWTH in this economy. That is the longest period of economic GROWTH this country has ever seen. A Recession is:
In macroeconomics, a recession is a decline in any country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP), or negative real economic growth, for two or more successive quarters of a year. However, this definition is not universally accepted. The National Bureau of Economic Research defines a recession more ambiguously as "a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months." A recession may involve simultaneous declines in coincident measures of overall economic activity such as employment, investment, and corporate profits. Recessions may be associated with falling prices (deflation), or, alternatively, sharply rising prices (inflation) in a process known as stagflation. A severe or long recession is referred to as an economic depression. A devastating breakdown of an economy is called economic collapse. Market-oriented economies are characterized by economic cycles, but actual recessions (declines in economic activity) do not always result. There is much debate as to whether government intervention smooths the cycle (see Keynesianism), exaggerates it (see Real business cycle theory), or even creates it (see monetarism).
Yeah. The Paulie WalNUTS are in the audience.
Hunter slamming home the China bit. About time he started harping on this.
Finally Fred gets to talk, he had to clear his throat first.
Huckabee is pandering and sucking up to Mathews.
He said ‘audio only’ link.
I can’t find one.
Think it’s video link or nothing.
