Because Dead Tree Media is under the mistaken impression that theoretical economic debate will motivate voters to to power an empty suit into office . . .
Here's a fun Internets fact check on newsies and consultants playing numbers games:
Media Matters: Conservative Media's Favorite Economist Caught Distorting Facts About Taxes And Job Creation
Again, this policy debate is great for economist nerds but it's uncertain how it'll play out at the polls for Red State voters who vote with their Bible as much as their wallet. On the bright side, the economic sputtering in Missouri is getting a break from scrutiny given seemingly organized mainstream media effort to oust an unpopular Republican and defeat low tax rhetoric.

Conservatives distort EVERYTHING.
ReplyDelete"Media Matters"????HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
ReplyDeleteRun by a bunch of mind-numbed robots owned by left-wing secretive multi-billionaire George Soros!
Please...
7:26 Instead of just calling them liberal, back up your argument with facts and figures like the article does. I bet you can't.
ReplyDeleteSorosian smoke and mirrors...
ReplyDeleteNEXT!
Only in the 2014 US would millions of plebs spend hours railing about how their team is ass-reaming them with the courtesy of using slightly more lube that that other team.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Tony's going to bat for Brownback, again!
ReplyDeleteDid he fudge the economic books or didn't he. The article doesn't say anything about Soros. It does mention Heritage Foundation and how they spread misinformation about labor statistics in our region that's incredibly fucked up by people like Brownbach who was put into politics by the Koch Bro's
ReplyDeleteHeritage Foundation chief economist Stephen Moore was caught using incorrect statistics to mislead readers about the relationship between tax cuts and job creation in the United States.
ReplyDelete"On July 7, Moore published an op-ed in The Kansas City Star attacking economic policies favored by Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman" Oops! I bet that got somebody fired?
ReplyDelete"On July 25, Star columnist Yael Abouhalkah explained the correction in more detail. Abouhalkah wrote that Moore had "used outdated and inaccurate job growth information at a key point in his article" and that Moore should have used data from 2009 to 2014, rather than from 2007 to 2012. Abouhalkah also argued that "the problems with Moore's opinion article damaged his credibility on the jobs issue." ..I bet Yael is Illuminati!
ReplyDelete"The original intent of Moore's Star op-ed was to garner support for tax cuts enacted over the past two years by Gov. Sam Brownback (R-KS), which The New York Times and other outlets have labeled "ruinous." The tax cuts have been such a dramatic failure that more than 100 members of the Kansas Republican Party have sworn to help replace Brownback with a Democrat willing to reinstate taxes and spending at their previous levels."
ReplyDeleteThat sucking sound in Kansas is Chris Christi easing up to the cocktail bar while slurping down a shrimp cocktail!
Krugman is just as bad
