DHS releases two reports. One report is about left wing extremist groups like ELF. The other report is about white supremacists and violent anti-government groups and this right winger thinks DHS is talking about him. You all are too much!

One report details left wing extremist groups like ELF. The other report talks about white supremacists and militia groups and suddenly Conservatives think the report is talking about them. The whine from Conservatives about this particular report is illuminating. Lulz…two DHS reports come out. One report details left wing extremist groups like ELF.

That point is hard to argue." You cherry picked a point in the process of government expenditure and said it's synominous with Trickle Down Economics. Personally I don't see any point in your confusing the issue this way, except to paint Obama as doing something he hates. ps-This part: “They have started with a Keynesian model and switched to a Trickle-down model mid way.

One is tax cuts for the rich and the other is deregulation. That's Reaganomics/Trickle Down Theory. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaganomics The government choosing what sectors to spend money and who to prop up is practically the opposite Mr. Shelton. You even write: "I mentioned and telling them how to spend it.." -that's not Reaganomics. That would be government interference to a Reaganite. Trickle down theory has two components.

Also, I did not say that the government was simply choosing were to spend the money. That is not where they are doing. They are giving it to the entry points I mentioned and telling them how to spend it and hoping that it will trickle down to the rest of the economy. They have started with a Keynesian model and switched to a Trickle-down model mid way. That point is hard to argue. Mr. Bold,

If the money goes to Washington and they choose where to spend it, that's not trickle down economics Mr. Shelton. If it was, it would be virtually indistinguishable from Keynesian economics and a meaningless concept.

I agree with that but the principles are the same. Obama is using trickle down principles to accomplish one of his purposes. I say one because getting the economy back on track is secondary to him. His main purpose is to socialize our country. I still maintain that he is relying on trickle down. I think this is because he recognizes, at some level, that trickle down is the only way to get the economy back on track. Sadly, he does not embrace the whole theory. If he did, we might have a fighting chance. Mr. Bold,
