You can go round and round D-Ray I don't care. Im not on trial so Im not going to play your lawyer games you like to participate in. You should maybe spend your time Fact Checking the data. Maybe you can disprove it ya think?

However I doubt you or the fact checker will bother, it's not your agenda.

You are on trial, moron. If you come onto a discussion board and call other posters 'libtards' with things 'resinating' in their brains, you'd better expect what you're getting.

Facts are stubborn things. And they show Cruz's 'biggest lie' line is indeed a big lie--by Cruz.

In other words, you don't like having your assertions challenged. The alternative is that you are too ignorant to understand the difference between the source of data, and the editorial commentary on the data. The charts posted by Cruz include conjecture and partisan commentary. Yet you continue to insist that they are factual.

I will go with insecurity and ignorance.

http://books.google.com/books/prince...ffects&f=false

The published link goes to the Princeton publications page where one could buy the book, but also provides a google link that allows searching most of the book for free. My link above is to such a search. The answer to your questions about matching years to presidents is found on page 33, footnote 7. The data was lagged one year to best match the data to presidential tenure. Regression analysis was done to determine what lag best fit the data.

The work was not done by kids, moron.

Any way you look at his book it's twisting and manipulating stats. He said on one chart that he got it from
census bureau historical income tables

http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/income/data/historical/

Good luck!!

They are not my assertions nor are they my statistics. This is the information linked in Fact checker. I just posted it because they failed to.

Now D-Ray go to BLS and disprove the stats on the charts. Then maybe you could call fact checker and tell him you found a lie.

Why? Because you say so?

Show your analysis.





(He he--saying 'show your analysis' to you may be the funniest line I ever typed!)

No they are not linked in Fact-Checker, moron.

This is the link you gave: http://www.jec.senate.gov/republican...arDisplay=2014

It goes to a Republican page. Fact-checker did not present that link.

Do I have to start posting Tar Baby photos again? You guts are all just stuck in Neg. 5, responding to his insults and forgetting the subject of this thread. I know it's fun but is it what we're here for?

I mean, the guy's just spamming us with his illiterate bullshit. He's got nearly 1,500 posts and he's only been a member for a couple of months
