6th Street

You are entitled to your opinion, but this a terribly important issue. If it wasn't around 3 months to the election, I'd be in the same boat but we need to either have a politics board or just deal with it for a while.

you are welcome to leave.

It is an incredibly important topic that more people should be talking about and fewer should be afraid to talk about. If someone thinks its working I don't know what to say to them. I do find it ironic that his campaign is spending more than it is taking in as of last week. Par for the course.

And you are welcome to kiss my ...........................twice!

So approving the oil pipeline and building it from Canada to Houston wouldn't create jobs? Lifting the ban on drilling on government land wouldn't create jobs? Allowing drilling offshore in the GOM wouldn't create jobs? I just created 5+ million jobs...no kidding.

Where this thread is headed:

You know I don't know how many jobs this "Oil boom" eagle ford shale has produced but it has not made a dent for the local economies. The oil companies already have their own crews and bring them in from big cities, have them stay on site and they leave on their days off. They give almost nothing back to the local city. What they do leave behind, is the city trying to accommodate the increased traffic on the roads (lack of infrastructure) and provide public safety which costs the local taxpayer extra money. I'm not saying that they can't produce jobs, I'm saying it comes at a cost. Jobs are just part of the equation to a very complex economic formula, but yes 5 million jobs sounds like a great start but it's only a matter of time before that work ends and you have this scenario again. Making it cyclical (btw that means circle as in goes around. Actually it means something that happens periodically but you should get the picture.)

This is the thread.

Would disagree. Yes economies are cyclical, no doubt. But monetary policy can and does influence the economy.

I'd upvote this 10,000 x if I could.

I repeat.....................kiss my ................

BTW learn how to post. Plus if we get into a political discussion you will look even less informed than you do on the other threads you frequent...........for the record.
