Reply #33: I have an idea ....

[Trajan]

Instead of asserting this notion as a strict anecdote, which is what you have done: presented your thesis without ANY foundational data to support your contention ...

Instead of railing against your fellow DUers and severely castigating them, to the point of sarcastic insult ....

Instead of trying to shove polemical shards of glass under the fingernails of your friends here at DU ...

Instead of all that: Why dont YOU provide the data to back up your contentions ?

WHERE is the hard data ? .... The employment numbers ? .... The income data ? .... The data from those years : WHERE IS IT ?

You come here, spouting off a claim .... trying to smack down ANYONE who had a different experience than you, (of which there appear to be MANY, including me) ... ALL without providing ONE SHRED OF EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE ....

All you have for your fellow DUers is your boisterous claim, and the back of you hand ....

Show the documented evidence that directly supports your contention, or really : All you are is a hot air bag, with fists ....
