    when first sentence show ignorance I stop and confute from there. Pretend you are well trained like a lawyer and make your first question your best and only. This is called the Socratic method. It is most efficient. You rant to cover up not because the space is needed ​

    No, he made bogus claims about the relationship between inflation and unemployment (amusingly you don't realise that your position is more consistent with the grunt of the new classicals). When those claims were utilised, they destroyed the British economy.

    The economy turned socialist after WW2, a little monetarism thrown in is a drop in the bucket, hardly a referendum on Republican capitalism

    This is ignorant. You don't 'turn socialist' with macroeconomic policy. Its used to stabilise economy. Friedman derived a 'stabilisation' that was cretinous. It destroyed, rather than protected. That you don't know that merely illustrates your 'extreme innocence'.

    I see. And exactly what in my first sentence do you claim shows "ignorance"?

    Here it is again, so you don't even have to look it up:

    "Why yes. Bush came in on a conservative platform of tax cuts, military spending, and eliminating regulation because business can regulate itself, don't you know?"

    Ah. I see. You don't even bother reading before you blurt out your response, proving you don't even have a clue what you are talking about.

    It shows. That explains why you would ask such an inane question, when the answer was right there in the next sentence in my post.

    Some people choose to remain ignorant. It avoids cognitive dissonance. I get it. But if you're not going to bother reading my post, then don't ask me questions about it.

    There isn't any such beast as 'republican capitalism' (although the republicans have been more inefficient). Friedman derived a 'stabilisation' that was cretinous as his stupidity/naivety actually created depression

    Did you skip reading my post again, or did you read it this time before you responded?

    Speaking of "substance free" why did you dodge answering my question about your claim:

    "I see. And exactly what in my first sentence do you claim shows "ignorance"?

    Here it is again, so you don't even have to look it up:

    "Why yes. Bush came in on a conservative platform of tax cuts, military spending, and eliminating regulation because business can regulate itself, don't you know?"
    When a person of substance accuses someone of being ignorant or something they said is ignorant, they back up their accusation by showing why when asked.

    Are you a person of substance who backs up their accusation?

    We shall see.

    capitalism is now Republican since they are its primary supporters on earth. Democrats support Obamacare for example which is moving away not toward capitalism

    are you referring to a scientific experiment on some remote Island in the North Atlantic. I hope they don't hear about it America. Then capitalism will be doomed for sure!!

    who cares what he came in on??? What matters is what he did! Did he do anything conservative? What did he do? ​

    You continue to rant. American Republicanism, if anything, is celebration of influence cost.

    I'm sure our members saw just fine, even if the faux conservative who doesn't bother reading posts doesn't.

    Why do you think republicans are so reliant on 'influence cost' dosh and how is it compatible with 'freedom vs gov't?

    no idea what dosh is, and don't know any Republicans reliant on "influence costs". Was that another of your devastating arguments? I think I'm going to be a libcommie now!!

    So you can't answer why they're paid off by big business and pressure group? Who'd have thought?
