By what criteria have you assigned "main stream" status, by what measure do you calculate that you and the individual you've quoted/linked to find yourself in the main stream of thought on this?

I mean claiming that you/he/it is, is one thing but substantiating the "main stream"edness is supported by what evidence?

P. S. isn't that a link to something in the NYTimes? Is that the basis of the "main stream" criteria? So you where referring to the "main stream" of the "Obamunista Brain Trust" at the NY office of the Whitehouse Propaganda Organ, where Krugman and Freidman define the "main stream", I don't care who you are that there is pretty funny!

P. P. S. Any guess as to roughly how many more $528,000/9 month long jobs the country can afford to save? How many more jobs can the country save or create at the cost of $228,055 at minimum each as with the original Obama stimulis (CBO numbers - http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cbo-jobs-created-and-saved-stimulus-cost-minimum-average-228055-each )

Lowest estimate 16 Million unemployed at the minimum $288,055 per Obamajob, comes out to $4,608,880,000,000 per year! You think the ChiComs have that money to lend us, you think the global credit markets as a whole do? Who's going to pay that bill when it comes due?
