Lol... "You suck at math." It's just nice to see that you have to find something to argue. In each video, you pull one point and "You suck at math." is your best shot.

Hilarious John.... you should start a comedy tour because your opinions are side-splitting.

I love the liberal position of "would be". Laughable.

"Yeah Lee, it wasn't that the Stim-O-matic didn't work as well as it was hoped, it's just that it didn't do its job as well as it was planned! You suck at math!"

Also, this isn't the reason why John is wrong, but, uh, he's really creepy, isn't he? I mean he seems fairly nice, but I just smell his breath fogging up my vision right in front of my face when I watch him.

lee's point was that with the stimulus package, we had a higher unemployment rate than obama promised

[misterstoos]

from what i can tell there was no math involved in your argument. once you can use math to prove it otherwise, you're just talking out your ass. ty for wasting my time and looking like the pretentious douche bag liberal stereotype we've come to know and love.

@j0hnwi11iams That's great. I tried to make a simple point about an inaccuracy in your video along with its general pointlessness given that you provided no substantive proof of your own. Your own idea of a projection is no more appropriate than the one you are complaining about. You just gave your general reasons for feeling that way, not anything remotely data-based.. Just go find some more left-friendly projection that better fits your preconceived notions and offer it as a rebuttal.

[Firebert79TA]

@j0hnwi11iams Yes, multiple realities would be great for testing what would really happen . . . but we only have projections. They can be compared to reality. That is what they are for. Your video still has nothing to do with math. Can I be anymore straightforward?

[j0hnwi11iams]

@Firebert79TA Paying people to work for the government creates jobs, period. Your argument stems from a second order effect in which you posit that jobs lost from taxation exceeds those created by the government. That is easily debunked when you look at where investors have been sending their money, primarily to China and India. Add to that the shift towards a lack of consumer confidence and fear about the job market, it is clear that savings in taxes are NOT going towards creating jobs.

[j0hnwi11iams]

@Firebert79TA If only we had a multiple realities so we could run control experiments. Trying to pick apart economics is like trying to pick apart the climate, neither of which right wingers are very adept at.

[Firebert79TA]

@j0hnwi11iams The great irony about your comment is your observation about "the more likely actual." That's nothing more than your own personal prediction and it is no more correct than the one you are attacking, especially without any substatiation.

Lee makes a good point . . . even Obama's advisors wanted him to drop the phrase "saved or created."

He makes a simple argument based on a projection and doesn't go out of his way to sell that as some kind of absolute known.

[Firebert79TA]

@j0hnwi11iams I understand perfectly what projections are. If you had any background in any kind of mathematical modeling or control systems, you'd know why we have feedback loops. Predictions are only predictions, but that's nor reason that they cannot be compared to reality. Are they absolute proof? Absolutely not; I never made that point so you can drop the staw man argument in your opening line. Again, none of your argument had anything to do with math. You can stop flattering yourself.
