The gargantuan genius of "economist" Brian Kilmeade

[brentspeak]

I've read about Kilmeade before, but I've never actually watched him on TV -- until this morning, that is, when I caught a few seconds of "FOX Friends".

Here's Brian Kilmeade (who's actually, of course, just a host, not an economist) trying to convince the average Joe/Jane out there that Bush has indeed cut the budget deficit in half (paraphrasing): "They said that supply side economics wouldn't work; they said that tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans would just balloon the deficit. Well, guess what: they were wrong. Today, we find out that the amount of the deficit as a percentage of the GDP has decreased from 4.5% to 2.5%, almost half. So it looks like President Bush's economic policies are working."

:freak: :freak: :dunce: :dunce:

Someone should tell this buffoon Kilmeade that when people talk about "cutting the deficit in half", they're talking about cutting the amount of dollars owed in half. They're talking about $400 billion divided by the number 2; they're not talking about {($400 billion/old GDP)x 100} - {($400billion/new GDP) x 100} = percentage that sounds very impressive and scientific but is actually a totally bogus, B.S. number that means absolutely nothing.

FOX News = shameless GOP propaganda

1. Brian Kilmeade is a big, stupid moran.

Only the truly stupid and/or brainwashed believe a word he says.
