brenthutch 388 #201 January 11, 2017 Settle down, I know you are still emotionally scarred from the election results, so I will cut you some slack. I sourced every single claim, just because you don't like it doesn't make it not so. Your failure to understand basic economic terms reflects poorly on you not me.

brenthutch 388 #203 January 11, 2017 brenthutchGetting back to the topic of the OP, Rex Tillerson's Senate hearing is scheduled on the same day as Trump's news conference. Democrats go glug glug glug as Trump sucks up all of the oxygen and dominates the news cycle. Looks like I was right. MSNBC is stuck on outrage after the Trump press conference. I had to turn to CNN for Tillerson's confirmation coverage. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have not sourced, reinforced or expanded, in any way at all, on your claim that Obama's recovery was the most anemic, even though this was your main point.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

brenthutch 388 #207 January 11, 2017 "In terms of average annual growth, the pace of this expansion has been by far the weakest of any since 1949. (And for which we have quarterly data.) The economy has grown at a 2.1% annual rate since the U.S. recovery began in mid-2009, according to gross-domestic-product data the Commerce Department released Friday." Just what part of "the pace of expansion has been by far the weakest of any since 1949" do you guys not get? http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2016/07/29/seven-years-later-recovery-remains-the-weakest-of-the-post-world-war-ii-era/ Sorry for no clicky, iPad acting up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guy you just said would usher in "a new era of transparency based on sound science" has appointed a well know anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist to oversee a new vaccine commission because he himself is an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist (just one of several conspiracy theories he believes in). Pointing out that there are anti-science guys on both sides doesn't make your guy any less anti science, or the idea that he will make decisions based on sound science any less laughable.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

Simmer down now..... my post was regarding the EPA not NIH here is more of the article for additional context: "Millions of hard-working Americans rely on affordable energy to make ends meet. However, it’s no secret that the president’s so-called Clean Power Plan, the cornerstone of the Obama administration’s climate change policy, could cost up to $292 billion. The so-called Clean Power Plan would actually have no meaningful impact on our environment and only end up reducing global temperatures by three one-hundredths of a degree Celsius. This burdensome regulation would also only lower sea level rise by the thickness of three sheets of paper. As America looks forward to a new age of cutting red tape, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt’s appointment as EPA administrator is a welcome response to the Obama administration’s legacy of overregulation. Mr. Pruitt has been a leading proponent for inviting local governments, stakeholders and industry leaders to have a seat at the table to help decide what measures and rules work best for them. While he acknowledges the need for the EPA, he sees the truth that the current administration has devotedly ignored: the EPA was never intended to be an advocate of extreme environmental regulations that serve no purpose and are costly and burdensome."
