Perot: “Economic crisis far greater than anything since the Great Depression”

[revolutionary8]

He means that you can't balance a budget, for example, without some sacrifice by the people. As for snakes, a good example of what he is talking about would be Kucinich's impeachment proposal that has been sent to commitee. He means that politicians need to stop beating around the bush and get something done.
I remember Perot well, and at the time I thought he would be a good president because of his ability to manage spending in his own company. sort.

Dear gawd,
ROARKE,
will you build my house?

He is not a neo con of any sort.

can we speak about your "plans"?

ROARKE,

Sure, what do you want to know?

 

[revolutionary8]

Sure, what do you want to know?

hmm,
lets see,
where am I from and where do I live?
BETTER YET,
where do I WANT to live and where do I BELONG?
Ever heard of Cullen Davis?

 

[driller80545]

Why would I have a thought or a care about that?

Why would I have a thought or a care about that?

hmm.. I thought this thread was about Ross Perot. Maybe I was wrong?
OH GEEZE.

 

[driller80545]

Yes, I am familiar with Cullen Davis. I am sure that Ron Paul is too. So what does that have to do with where you want to live?

 

[revolutionary8]

it is equal to=
AS FAR AWAY FROM TEXAS AS POSSIBLE?
just a thought.
for survival and all.
YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF that Texas is the best. We are the best from all sides. We won't quit. We were born with pride.
come back?

Ross Perot?
I see you added the T. Cullen Davis question. I am familiar with Davis, especially since I have been in the oilfield for over thirty years. I am sure that Perot and Ron Paul are both familiar with him also.
What does that have to do with anything. Go ahead, spit out your point/

 

[nayjevin]

He may have read the manifesto since then.

How many of us have changed as much as Perot would need to to line up with our movement?

Perot is a good and honest man -- according to the liberty-minded people I know who have met and worked with him in a political capacity.

Ross Perot?

"OILIFIED"?

 

[IPSecure]

Anyone else remember when Perot ran for office, the debate where he brought out hand drawn charts?

Could not believe it with EDS behind him...

 

[driller80545]

Little bush was laughed out of the oilfield before he even got started good. But, blame Texas for what?

I recently posted a thread disucssing the same thing, I want to post the graph I made up here too and examine it...

I want to examine the trends here and make extra notes on them...


First of all notice the big first deficit trend on that chart. It happened when Reagan was elected and at the same time when Republicans took control of the Senate; now this here is a interesting trend; because people like to argue the reason Clinton balanced the budget and had a good surplus was because of Republican control of the House and Senate. This seems like a counter to this point.

I want to take another look at the second trend Bush Sr. drop, it happened when Democrats retook control. And I thought it was another interesting trend to note.

Now I Want to look at Clinton. Halfway through his presidency Republicans took control. But the budget was already working toward being balanced at that point. Frankly I take the whole "Republican House and Senate" excuse with a pinch of salt; but its a interesting trend to recognize how fiscally responsible he was, despite all his other shortcomings.

Now lets take a final look at Bush. He singlehandedly destroyed that balanced Budget Clinton created and ruled with a Republican Senate; which was replaced around 2006. Around that point the budget began to recover some of the deficit. Coincidence? Maybe I'll leave it up to you to decide.


Ultimately I'm convinced; on the single subject of the deficit and fiscal responsibility the Democrats do seem to trump the Republicans. But its a interesting chart and I leave it and that information for you to mull over.

 

[driller80545]

The chart is self explanatory and revealing. I wonder what the graph would do with a Ron Paul administration? Sure like to see/

 

[electronicmaji]

Another interesting tidbit.

look at http://perotcharts.com/challenges/ and look at chart 10 specifically.

Look how much difference %4 of taxes does to the deficit. More importantly; is such a large deficit really worth the extra freedom given by removing %4 of taxes?

 

[driller80545]

Right, and if, instead, someone were to cut back on 4% of spending, then you do the same thing without the interest on the deficit.

 

[electronicmaji]

But neither party will cut back the 4% spending. So you get to choose between those two options.

 

[Aratus]

bump! ---the above chart--- in the posting by electronicmaji --- whether its inflation adjusted or not, its a shocker!!!

"The activist is not the man who says the river is dirty. The activist is the man who cleans up the river."

Love this!

"The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, the public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of public officials should be controlled."

Actually, I think this one is from Cicero.

 

[Truth Warrior]

I don't really remember what Perot ran on, when he ran for president. But I do know that he had a pretty big following....is there a chance we can get perots 20% join our side?
