Proof That Golf And Economics Don't Mix

Tyler Durden's picture




 

If anyone needed proof that golf and economics don't mix, it is the following two back-to-back tweets, one just sent out by Obama (or rather his teleprompter) attempting to do economics in under 140 characters, and the other describing what Obama is doing this very moment during his Las Vegas weekend trip.

And...

Yes, but now we can add them to "The GDP". The most important thing is that The GDP must be bigger. Always, more bigger numbers to the almighty The GDP.

Incorrect. Government spending contributes to make The GDP higher. Adding more people to food stamps and welfare makes The GDP bigger.

Its amazing how in a 14 trillion economy the GDP will only be boosted by tens of billions of dollars by all this #immigrantaction.

Are you sure the #ImmigrantAction he's talking about isn't just him spending billions of dollar jetting around the world so he can have sex with underage boys in Asia.

He probably thought that hashtag up while inflating some 8 year old rectums with his AIDs incrusted tool.

Someone in local radio came up with a great idea:  GOP drafts a bill that gives them everything they want EXCEPT they can't vote for 20 years.  Look at the Dims hem and haw!  But it's all about bringing them out of the shadows and keeping families together, right?

Those 5M won't be voters in 2016 no matter what. But members of their families do vote, and Florida is very close. This gives those voters a very strong incentive to vote Democratic in 2016, because everyone now knows that the Republicans are loaded for bear and looking for payback, and those 5M illegals are going to be the juiciest targets for payback. Eisenhower did a mass deportation, the next President can too.

Your multiplier is incorrect. Historically, each and every one (every Single ONE) has, without fail, brought in 9 more after him/her.

5 x 9 = 45 chain immigrants.

Personally, I think the 5 number is nonsense. If the official number ends up less than 15, I will be astonished. Probably will be more like 30-45. (Try multiplying that by 9.)

I'm not sure it matters how many they drag in behind them.

Its the number they produce on welfare once they get here.

With their Catholic proclivities they should be the majority population by 2050.

Shouldn't we just shut down the Congressional Budget Office???

Fact: CBO didn't exist until 1975.

Fact: CBO scoring was always based on subjective modelling so it was never accurate.

Fact: The US has been running without a budget for close to a decade.

Fact: Every piece of legislation is crafted to fool the CBO scoring.  Gruber admitted it.  Dems added that it applies to all legislation.  Repubs did not refute Dem claims.

Therefore:  Why do we need the CBO if every score they produce is known to be incorrect?

Also, although the BLS produces completely ficticious numbers, it is an organization that could theoretically produce accurate numbers.  The same cannot be said of the CBO.

I thought it was for a more serious reason, like giving Hispanics in Florida a very strong incentive to vote Democratic in the 2016 Presidential election. Nice little family you have there Hose'. It would be a cryin' shame if a Republican got elected and deported members of your family just to get revenge on my Executive Order, wouldn't it?
