Plus, you seem to have reversed your links.

The first link, which leads to the post in this thread, does not ever claim that "I am right about everything" even though, I am, of course, just like Calvin, a super-genius*. However, it PROVES, using posts I wrote in the past that I WAS (and AM) right about my claims that Republican policies are harming the economy. However, of course, in my last and oldest link, it is not I, alone, who am making that claim. I am simply agreeing with Stiglitz and others thanks to an email I got from the CBPP. I could, if I did more digging, say here http://www.lvcodem.com/7.html where I quote Dean Baker on 14 March 2009, saying "The most obvious effect of reducing the budget deficit right now would be to
raise the unemployment rate, slow economic growth, and lower investment,
thereby leaving a less productive economy for our children and grandchildren.
While some deficit reduction cults may view this as a positive economic path,
there are not many economists who would agree with this position."

But again, that is not me being right as much as it is me agreeing with Dean Baker, who was right.

Not sure why you wanna say I am wrong about everything just because I happen sometimes to criticize the great and powerful Ozbama,
