Does anyone have a link to establish a connection? I just googled Soros and "business Insider" and almost every hit either defends or fawns all over Soros.

I'm starting with the founder of Business Insider, Henry Blodget

Why And How We Founded Business Insider

Are the charts fraudulent and do you have evidence that government spending spending was under control and that the government was not expanding prior to Obama?

[NativeNewYorker]

That shop was financed by a pal of Soros...not the man directly.

Henry Blodget was convicted of insider trading fraud, and is banned from the industry. Take the source for what it’s worth.

Nice comments on there... I especially like the one that points out:

1994-2006, with Republicans in control of the House, US Public debt increased a total of 33%... or 12 years.

In the FOUR years the Democrats were in control.. 2006-2010.... Public debt DOUBLED... 100% increase.

"..Fraud allegation and settlement

In 2002, then New York State Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, published Merrill Lynch e-mails in which Blodget gave assessments about stocks which conflicted with what was publicly published.[4] In 2003, he was charged with civil securities fraud by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.[5] He settled and agreed to a bar from the securities industry. He paid a $2 million fine and $2 million disgorgement.[6].."

So that means we really are really not in hock for 14 trillion dollars and don’t have to increase the debt limit? Great. I feel much better now.

Assumes that income declared to IRS would have been the same with or without the Bush Tax Cuts, aka. static analysis. If higher rates had been in effect, then the private sector would not have reported the same amount of income because the business decisions would have been different.

[Ratman83]

The guy is an bozo he has tax cuts as a cost, enough said.

[Aevery_Freeman]

It is perfectly legitimate to equate TAX CUTS and WAR EXPENDITURES with food stamps and extended unemployment payments.

Has everyone forgotten that the World Trade Center was demolished. Could that have impacted the economy negatively just at the start of W's Presidency?

LOL, Al Shapton was using the same argument yesterday on his show MSNBC Live, They created a new metric called "New Policies' that allows them to remove most of Democrats spending away from the Obama spending chart. And the Obama Afganistan surge isnt even on the chart referenced to Obama. Yet, I bet Obama wont allow that spending that they removed from his bar chart to be cut.

Obama is NEVER responsible for anything.
