			<description>It is durable and no matter how much carelessly your son uses this jacket, the fine quality of this jacket will be very difficult to fade away. These moncler coats come in leather and often fur lined. These types of jackets are very common in young boys and look quite presentable. - Moncler jackets Men</description>

			<title>Simpson was trying to mimic Matt Taibi's truly funny and accurate caricature of Goldman</title>

			<description>It is inconceivable  that Simpson's remark about Social Security was some unintended faux pas, just an unguarded slip of the tongue.  It was a deliberate and calculated stab at Social Security, the favorite pinata of deficit/ chicken hawks today.  There will be others.  

Simpson has always displayed that fratboy neoliberal (Cold War) wit that flatters the Washington press corp into thinking they're sharing in something special -- reporting on something inside.  Just ask Roger Mudd, whose son Daniel was CEO of Fannie Mae's demise, or Bob Schieffer of CBS whose brother Tom made millions from Government spending (bailout/subsidy)  with his business partner George Bush owning  the Texas Rangers  These are the type of journalists chortle when Simpson talks. 

Sen Simpson used to represent Wyoming (home privateer- in- cheif Dick Cheney), a state whose population just about equals the number of new unemployment claims for the month of July, 500,000.  

Sorry, this is way off topic, but Simpson is way out a bounds! - Union Member</description>

			<description>It sounds to me like Germany stimulated the economy more with larger automatic stabilizers, while the US had a relatively larger stimulus bill with smaller automatic stabilizers. That's the only way the Austarians can be technically right claiming that Germany had a smaller stimulus.  

  None of this should be taken in isolation and used as an apples to apples comparison.  America may need a much larger stimulus than Germany to lower unemployment because it has greater leakages from the income stream.  By draining savings from other eurozone countries, Germany forces other eurozone countries to run larger budget deficits than they would have had to otherwise to satisfy the savings desires of their citizens.  

The point is, that has now been confirmed by the CBO and various other empirical studies is that fiscal stimulus works at creating demand in an economy that is experiencing insufficient demand to generate full employment.  If the political will was there, we could create a job guarantee program that would act as a very powerful automatic stabilizer.  For any of this to happen though we need people like you to stand up to dishonest and/or ignorant commentary.  Keep up the good work.

			<description>These are the predictions for Germany:

and so let us wait until we see the results of the debt brake.
By the way, Germany spent $45 billion for military spending in 2009 to the U.S.'s $712 billion.

			<description>Never fear, Alan Simpson is so excited about the Fed meetings in Wyoming, he will soon straighten out all the unnecessary confusion on deficits with a new straightforward definition that anyone can understand - defiTITs.

[i]Defitits[/i] is a comprehensive yet simple politically correct neutral term that avoids inflamatory political bias, to convey objective economic information on cost and benefits of debt incurred by the US Government - especially the benefits, or as Mr Simpson might say, the beneTITs.

Even someone born in a barn alongside a cow can understand who is really bene[i]titting[/i] from defi[i]tits[/i], the 310 million freeloaders on Social Security, for whom US Treasury bondholders are being held hostage by the likes of China and Japan who could pull the plug at any time, or as Mr Simpson might say, less tits now mean more tits later under his AusteriTITs Policy. - izzatzo</description>
