Rob's House Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I agree that neither is qualified to be president, but for any reason similar to yours. Our entire economy and banking system is global, and has been since the first import in history. There isn't anyone on this board, or mostly anywhere else that doesn't have considerable investment in foriegn goods and services. The truth is that our Keynesian system has systemically forced our domestic economy to export our inflation checks in the form of outsourcing jobs and importing goods in order to keep prices under control. This has caused us to become a service based economy which consumes rather than produces wealth. Only a fool would refuse international investment given that economic reality. You can't possibly be arguing that only fools who have no understanding of economics are qualified. You obviously don't know Lybob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'll weep a little but I'll get over it. Against my better judgement I'll ask for your specific critique of each economic point I raised: - our entire economy and banking system is global - there isn't anyone ... anywhere (in America) ... that doesn't have considerable investment in foriegn goods and services - our Keynesian system has systemically forced our domestic economy to export our inflation checks in the form of outsourcing jobs and importing goods in order to keep prices under control - this (the fact that we no longer produce anything domestically) has caused us to become a service based economy - (service based economies) consume(s) rather than produce(s) wealth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Actually, that was the work of Paul Krugman, but since you just displayed an unparrelleled level of ignorance, choosing the route of uneducated ideolouge so much more desperate to attack than to understand and discuss, I do believe I'm done with you. It's noone's fault other than your own that you don't have a fundamental understanding of how the global economy works. Read books, it will help. Welcome to PPP...

This politics forum isn't much different than any of the others I visit, the major difference being that atleast you guys are decent enough people to be Bills fans. And that's something we can all hoist a beer to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us a real world example of this? I would tend to think that tax policy for 2009 was decided in 2008. Then again, if you don't want to follow that logic then maybe many more people were in the lower tax brackets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Can you give us a real world example of this? I'm not sure exactly what you're asking for. I gave you a real world example of this: the US economy. I get the feel that isn't what you were trying to ask me for though, so I'm looking for some clarification.

/dev/null Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 It would be nice if we had a candidate for president who was committed to America. So the DNC chair thinks her own candidate isn't committed America either? http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/07/10/wasserman_schultz_it_would_be_nice_if_we_had_a_candidate_for_president_who_was_committed_to_america.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all smoke and mirrors. All you need to see is the line that states that extended unemployment and other pay-outs are considered tax cuts . . . Where the f*k do the a$$hats at WaPo think that the money for these payouts comes from? The Washington Post, unabashedly shilling for Democrats sine 1973 . . .

The trick to EII is treating him like the nutty uncle sitting in the corner on Thanksgiving.

He's been lurking here for eternity... I think he can figure that out you pedantic, supercilious anal orifice. He started off trying to have a rational discussion with EiI.

TakeYouToTasker Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 No, I just have a habit of giving individuals the benefit of the doubt, preferring to build my own opinions of them through the experience of personal interaction. See, I like to form my own opionions rather than borrow someone elses. You, however, have completely wasted my time and have saddly proven to be exactly what everyone said you were. You may just be the dumbest sonofabitch alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
