    Ah! The 'triggering' of the followers of the economic religion of Keynes.

    Zero Hedge is a news website, content aggregator, and collection of blogs by contributing editors. It reports on economics, Wall Street, and the financial sector and is credited with bringing the controversial practice of flash trading to public attention in 2009 via a series of posts alleging that Goldman Sachs' access to flash order information allowed the firm to gain unfair profits. The news portion of the site is written by a group of editors who collectively write under the pseudonym "Tyler Durden", a character from the novel Fight Club.
    The real wikipedia entry for ZeroHedge.

    ZeroHedge is best used as an economics news aggregate. That probably explains why a republican wouldn't have much use for it.

    I just thought the pot-calling-the-kettle-black comedy of wailing about kos then citing zerohedge needed some pointing out.

    And faceplanted in the process. The CBO and JP Morgan ain't got nothing on a koskid! Such is the alternative betaverse, even for republicans.

    The Keynesian religious fanatics take great umbrage with having the inner workings of their religion laid bare. Having "The Bernak(Z)enu" "new and improved" central planning model exposed engenders within them a seething and fiery rage that would shame the mythological hell fires of the Abrahamic mythologies and would render Surtr into a mere Hrimthur.

    If you're enamored with the establishment centralizing wealth and power then you probably wouldn't care for the people pointing out the emperor's lack of clothes. Such is the way of the GOP (and DNC).

    Nah, semi is much more comfortable pizzing and moaning about it in a reactionary way rather than doing anything about it. It's a classic case of gimme gimme gimme, give me what I use every day, but not before I complain about how it's paid for.

    Okay, so you have the $16 trillion to pay for all that stuff? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess 'no'.
