Estimates Say Fewer Jobs, Larger Deficits if Republicans Were in Charge - Newsweek
This is at the end of the day speculation and theory. Nothing truly solid.
But I will say for some Republicans and Conservatives out there.
I'll bet you anything that John McCain would have done a stimulus bill and continually renewed unemployment benefits.
Next up is health-care reform. Obama passed it; Republicans want to repeal it "lock, stock, and barrel." The reason, as Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell explained in July, is that "we all know that it's going to increase the deficit." Unfortunately for the GOP, though, nonpartisan experts tend to disagree. Just this Tuesday, for example, the CBO released a letter saying that Obama's health-care-reform legislation would "reduce the projected budget deficit by $30 billion over the next 10 years,” while repealing the law would generate "an increase in deficits ... of $455 billion ... over that [same] period." Factor those figures into the equation and the Obama deficit falls to $784 billion. The GOP deficit, meanwhile, rises to $455 billion. Getting warmer.
The final piece of the puzzle is the Bush tax cuts. Obama wants to extend them for the 95 percent of taxpayers making less than $250,000 a year; Republicans want to extend them for everybody. How will these extensions affect the deficit? Glad you asked. According to data compiled by The Washington Post, "the Democratic proposal would add about $3 trillion to the deficit during the next decade, while the GOP plan would cost $3.7 trillion." That brings the total Obama deficit to $3.784 trillion over 10 years, and its GOP counterpart to—drumroll, please—$4.155 trillion.
because the wealthiest Americans would probably invest it in the infrastructure of our global competitors.
How the hell are you supposed to estimate something like that? A better title would be "wild guessing says...(etc.)".
You read it, or no.
I skimmed it before posting, yes. I didn't read the whole thing because as far as I could tell it mostly just involves a guy trying to justify his bias-induced wild guess as having been arrived at mathematically and scientifically.
That's what Polling is all about....:2razz:

Every post in this forum is an attempt on your part to make Obama look better than he is.
I didn't read past that point, because you have already clearly, concisely and repeatedly stated that your only goal here is to tear down liberals.
It is one thing to be an ideologue but another to have pride and credibility.

Naturally.... because republicans only care about their profits.

I'm fine. Lacking credibility with this lot is not exactly breaking my heart.
LOL sure you forgot about
1) oppressing gays, lesbians and the "gender confused"
2) ravaging third world nations and raping their resources
3) arming criminals with assault weapons
4) forcing women into bondage
5) reinstating slavery
6) banning rock and roll
No, I didn't. Republicans love profit more than anything else. This is a given.
