Boehner’s functionally illiterate on economic policy

By Steve Benen

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) appears to have made a terrible error in his speech to the Economic Club of New York on Monday. His mistake was sharing with the audience his actual beliefs, which upon even cursory examination, are so conspicuously unintelligent, it’s rather alarming.

Bloomberg News examined Boehner’s assessment of existing U.S. economic policies and found that the House Speaker “built his case on several assertions that are contradicted by market indicators and government reports.” Jonathan Chait took a closer look at Boehner’s remarks on tax policy and discovered they were “gibberish.”

And the Washington Post’s Ruth Marcus scrutinized the speech and discovered that Boehner is relying on an “incoherent, impervious-to-facts economic philosophy.”

He's an old alcoholic with a fried brain, not unlike Limbaugh and Beck, can't expect too much out of any of them.

You hear that kids... save your brain cells, you may need them one day!

he's an alcoholic?

really?

that's pretty fucking harsh

and unnecessary

boehner would not be my choice for speaker - seems like those jobs are given to lifers or the least qualified

but alcoholic?

are you an alcoholic? and you see signs from boehner that resonate with ur situation?

Yes, he's an alcoholic. That's why he cries all the time.

Talk about the topic and please use proper sentences. This continual haiku thing makes you look silly.

They gave us some "conservative" economic policies, and it made things for the country worse.

So of course, just as with gun-control advocates, they want to give us more of what didn't work.

Except, unlike gun-control advocates, they're aiming at a program that will drag us into a morass that will require more than a decade to climb out of -- and while we do, the world will move on without us.

[CowboyBob]

Not new friends, but other forum members who are tired of our posts. People who I've never heard of have commented to me (and others) about this ridiculous haiku you insist on using all the time. It's pretentious and makes you look foolish. We're tired of this continuous attempt to draw attention to yourself.

And this thread title speaks volumes...... " functionally illiterate".....

So how about posting using real sentences and punctuation. Someone might actually read one of your posts but I doubt it.


....jest sayin'

You know how satire can go overboard and become lame?

You just gave an example.

He's got a point, chance.

I even got a mail from a new guy asking if you were SloppySeconds clone.

I refrained from suggesting it was parallel evolution.
