My HC smear of the day -- Third Way Policies Gave Us the Great Recession

[stupidicus]

More generally Third Way has supported trade policies that have been designed to redistribute income upward and cost the country millions of good-paying middle income jobs. (must we all learn to share her love of NAFTA for example?) They also have refused to support measures that would address the ongoing trade deficit by adopting serious policies on currency management. It is understandable that Third Way would justify policies designed to redistribute income upward by saying they care about opportunity ("more money for Wall Street" is not a good political slogan), but that hardly makes the claim true.

On the other hand, policies advocated by Sanders, like a financial transactions tax and universal Medicare system, could provide a solid boost to growth by eliminating hundreds of billions of dollars of waste in the financial and health care sectors. These resources could be freed up to support productive investment, leading to an enormous boost to growth. http://www.cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/news-for-ruth-marcus-third-way-policies-gave-us-the-great-recession

[Enthusiast]

6. Kicked and recommended for a non-smear truthful post!

[Hydra]

7. So very smeary

I thought the rule was that we couldn't talk policy about Presidential Presumptive Clinton? Any reference to anything said or done more than 1 day ago was off limits?

Besides, that whole recession thing? Totally fixed. Take their word for it.

8. Stupidicus is as stupidicus does.

A smear does not exist here.

[stupidicus]

15. well, at least he doesn't apply time and text

to attacking the wrong people

this was in part, a mocking of the notion that "truth + smears" that those challenged in various negative ways are promoting

[Duval]

9. No smear, but truth instead! K&R

[MaggieD]

10. Do you think your smears are helping Bernie?

[stupidicus]

13. do you think your definition-challenged condition commands respect

or credibility outside of the HC camp?

none of the only plausible explanations for your clinging to that nonsense are flattering at all.

[MaggieD]

14. I ask again....

Do you think smearing Hillary here is helping Bernie? Do tell.

[stupidicus]

16. I ask again

do you think your definition-challenged condition commands respect

or credibility outside of the HC camp?

none of the only plausible explanations for your clinging to that nonsense are flattering at all.

[MaggieD]

17. So you won't answer the question?

Then I have to conclude you realize the smears are pointless. Have a nice day.

[stupidicus]

18. there is no question but one akin to "Are you still beating your wife"

if it acts like a rightwinger....

[99th_Monkey]
