Some economic reality , You would have to be stupid to vote for any Republican for president

Do you understand that a civilization takes care of the needy in their society, not like the hate party,wanting to put all the old people and poor and sick in cardboard boxes eating dirt, that just proves my premise that they are all scum bags just like their president.

 

Still didn't want to look up quantitive easing?

quan·ti·ta·tive eas·ing
ˌkwän(t)əˌtādiv ˈēziNG/
noun
FINANCE

1. the introduction of new money into the money supply by a central bank.

 

You can stick your free market up your ass. If any part of it doesn't serve this country then dump it. The part that you want giving every new nickel in profit to the few at the top is one of the parts of the free market that has to go, Yoiu want to destroy capitalism, just take the incentive away , this incentive is the total driving force for capitalism. You and the rest of the hate party have achieved that for the last 35 years. but if capitalism is going to survive it has to stop.

 

Better keep your comments short because over ten words and I won't read anyone that has nothing to offer.

 

Facts confuse you much, what made wall Street rich and main Street poor during the Obama years?

Btw you do know all the monopoly money the feds poured in we have to pay it back with interest right?

 

Bear wants me to look up Quantitative easing, but it surely doesn't have a fricking thing to do with the thread. I embarrassed him when he started the Kenning is a supply sider bullshit. You want to see stupid, look at his remark to my comment in post 42 and then look at me burying the poor boy in post 45.

 

That's you defense when you did no such thing, it must be great living in a little bubble...

Threads like this confirm why Donald Trump was elected. We can be grateful deskchair economists are confined to spouting nonsense on political forums and play no role in the real world. Otherwise we'd all be screwed.

 

can you tell us what you have against the free market? As you think about it please consider that China just switched to the free market and in doing so eliminated 40% of all the poverty on earth. Previously they had unfree liberal markets and 60 million slowly starved to death. Do you understand?

 

Anyone using economic numbers from 1945-1980 has to be mentally challenged. Or they simply want another world war in which the rest ofnthe industrial world is destroyed, making the US the only industrial center in the world.

 

Dead simple. First, YOU look at the Discretionary Budget pie. (If you must, look up the meaning of the word discretionary.)

And, Wow!, it looks like this:


So, what do we see? Yessiree! Fifty-four percent of the Discretionary Budget goes to just one government entity. The DoD!

If you think that such is "balanced governance", then look up word "balanced".

Such a prevalence for just one budget-item is a waste of resources that could be better applied elsewhere. Like offering our kids a post-secondary education (in state-schools) that does not cost them an arm-and-a-leg. (Hillary & Bernie got that right with their budget proposal as described below.)

See this article from Brookings (a centrist think-tank in DC) here describing the proposal as put during the election campaign. Excerpt:

With the right post-secondary education credentials, they will find decent jobs at a decent pay (given a robust economy).

In fact, I prefer the French universal nearly-free post-secondary educational system. For my kids here in France, I paid 700 euros (not even $750 today) tuition fees. Room-&-board was extra, but mostly they remained at home. Working summers very largely complemented their savings that allowed them to be financially independent throughout their university years.

Educating our young is FAR MORE IMPORTANT STRATEGICALLY (for economic purposes) that is the DoD. If we do not, then for the 45% of those who either do not complete High School or a Post-secondary Education, we (the sheeple) will be paying their UI and Food Stamp costs very likely for the rest of their lives* ...

*Either that or their cost-of-existence in a correctional facility.

 

With out the military budget you would be speaking German or Russian...so I think we need it


No?

 

There is tragically some truth in this statement, though probably for different reasons than you were thinking when you made it. I had a football coach where if I heard him say it once, I heard him say it a thousand times to people in one form or the other, "You end up going wherever you are looking, so you keep your damn eyes off the ground." Turns out, there is a lot of economic reality in that statement: "People who believe in their futures are more likely to invest in those futures (for instance going back to school to get a job credential or following good preventive health practices) and to have better outcomes. The hope channel is particularly important for individuals with less means, for whom making such investments requires greater trade-offs. If they do not believe these investments will pay off, then they are much less likely to make them." (https://spotlightonpoverty.org/spotlight-exclusives/loss-hope-low-income-america/)

Trump, for better or worse, is causing individuals and businesses to take their eyes off the ground, while the democrats run around acting as if the 99% are doomed if the top 1% aren't properly fleeced.

 

yes its truly liberal and very very bizarre!! Their solution is to subvert govt to steal at gunpoint from the top 1% for more crippling welfare but not to help the bottom 50% earn their own money. In fact by crippling them with more and more welfare they are preventing them from being self-sufficient and greatly diminishing our society.

The facts are in. Free health care, food, housing, and education worth $50,000 a year failed to help but did create a dependent voting liberal population. Why not make liberalism illegal as our Founders intended with the Constitution.

 

absolutely, we want them educated when the North Koreans Russians or Iranians bomb them because idiot liberals did not think defense was important!!

 

At least we get to identify the true haters.
