how come nobody mentions Estonia went to the euro in 2009
Because it's irrelevant?

So how do you expect to grow your way out of 100% debt to GDP ratio?

Youre gonna NEED austerity unless you get your shit sorted, the ONLY reason your treasuries are even selling is because the Fed is buying, otherwise the markets would be avoiding yous like the new Greece.

Given America's service economy now compared to the manufacturing "Made in America" one yous had before, how the you expect the "same old" to work this time?

Your arrogance will be your downfall Chesus.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jobs_and_Growth_Tax_Relief_Reconciliation_Act_of_2003

The link contains tax rate tables that demonstrate immediate and quantifiable benefits to middle-class wage earners. Joe owes me a response. cn
Ok, good read canna.
Yup. This helped The middle class SOME. Roughly a 3% decrease in taxes. The other side to the argument is that it wasn't for the middle class it was for all taxpayers. Wealthy or not, so the argument is easily made that it benefited wealthy americans more. Most middle class americans do not benefit from a lower tax rate on dividends or capital gains. So this particular provision cannot be construed to be beneficial for us.

It is my opinion that this legislation was a successful attempt by our former dictator to redirect attention from his futile hunt for WMD's and such onto something that was lauded to help our economy. All the while spending unfunded exorbitant amounts of money on said hunt. This my friend is a very big factor in the sorry state our country is in today. Spending more money while cutting income is a recipe for disaster in any budget.

Not willing to give + rep on this one tho. Canna, and I have the utmost respect for you. This didn't help us PO' folks out much. Certainly not as much as it did the wealthy.

Right about the time the graph for their growth goes up
Or. Right about the time the rate of growth slowed and started leveling off.

It's a circular argument I fear. I'm not going to convince you the Baltics had better results through austerity than other economies that tried stimulus using real GDP growth as a measuring stick, and you are not going to convince me otherwise by using cherry picked Krugman charts or by copy and pasting somebody's blog who used Krugman's cherry picked data.

So how much did the goverment of Estonia contribute to the economy of Estonia?
What is their military expenditures?
Medicare equivalent
Social Security equivalent?

How come you dont mention they raised taxes and fees on everyone and everything?

your rep is already beyond repute! Do you wish to approach god-like status?

dirty bastage, making me look up a word. This doesn't happen often as I have a pretty large vocab. myself.

Besides, the challenge was not issued towards yourself. I only answered you out of respect for your adorable avi. and also for your sagacious and perspicacious sense of humor.;-)

Therefore, Rep. for you is withheld sir.... This time. :bigjoint:

never heard that.
We see that Canada has their own Progressive Soup brain problems.

http://www.crystalinks.com/inuit.html

The Inuit are a group of culturally similar indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions of Canada (Northwest Territories, Nunatsiavut, Nunavik, Nunavut, Nunatukavut), Denmark (Greenland), Russia (Siberia) and the United States (Alaska). Inuit means "the people" in the Inuktitut language. An Inuk is singular for Inuit person, whereas Inuit is plural. The Inuit language is grouped under Eskimo-Aleut languages.
.

.


In Canada and Greenland, the Natives prefer the word Inuit. As they consider "Eskimo" pejorative, it has fallen out of favor. In Canada, the Constitution Act of 1982, sections 25 and 35 recognised the Inuit as a distinctive group of Canadian aboriginals, who are neither First Nations nor Metis.
--------------------
The primary reason that Eskimo is considered derogatory is the questionable but widespread perception[SUP][4][/SUP][SUP][7][/SUP][SUP][8][/SUP][SUP][9][/SUP] that in Algonkian languages it means "eaters of raw meat."[SUP][10][/SUP][SUP][11][/SUP] One Cree speaker suggested the original word that became corrupted to Eskimo might indeed have been askamiciw (which means "he eats it raw"), and the Inuit are referred to in some Cree texts as askipiw (which means "eats something raw").[SUP][10][/SUP] The majority of academic linguists do not agree.
---------

So, as usual, utter horseshit.
