Sure, if you want to play semantics, go ahead. Calling someone else, or their opinions, idoitic, clearly means more to you than it does to me. Really, I dont care but I find it interesting you choose to make those types of statements. Did it make you feel your point was more important?

This is your original opinion to which I took issue. Moving the goalposts would be not making arguments pertinent to that statement, which is what you are doing, not me. Restating your original assertion is not an argument, and neither is "explaining" how 100% of a million dollars is more than 400% of one dollar.

Well you cut off my opinion to suit your post, which showed I thought the orginial rates posted changed the context because of the rates ignoring real numbers....but ignoring that.. how does your rebuttal that a comparison involving debt as a function of income not change the goalposts from a discussion of year over year percentages? My example clearly illustrated what I was talking about... you choose to talk about something totally different.
Pretty much the definition of moving goalposts... no?

Your "facts" should be more accurately called "cherry-picked data points". And again, restating them isn't an argument, and to be sure, I don't even see that you are making any argument. You are simply restating what you said before, except in list form. Yay?

They are facts, please feel free to show us which are incorrect. You can play semantics, sling insults, and move goalposts all you want... but the problem is you can't prove facts are incorrect. If you can, you would.
