reality is a great, if slightly less bitter, antidote.

So you are saying that you have nothing to refute anything I posted. You can't refute with any evidence my charts or anything so you try to put me down. You are another wing nut without an argument, and just talking points.

I think you're pulling stuff out of a hat, friend. You have no basis for either of those claims.

I'm not saying that at all. You are saying there has been no prosperity whatsoever the past 30 years. What's the point in debating that kind of silliness. Nobody in here, Democrat or Republican would agree with that statement.

I know you're new here but I debate with evidence to back my statements.
Monetarism: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics | Library of Economics and Liberty
Quote:
In 2005, most academic specialists in monetary economics would probably describe their orientation as new keynesian. Also, monetary aggregates currently play a small or nonexistent role in the monetary policy analysis of academic and central-bank economists. In terms of its underlying scientific rationale, however, today’s mainstream analysis is much closer to that of the monetarist than the Keynesian position of, for example, 1956–1978. In addition to the points noted above, current thinking clearly favors policy rules in contrast to “discretion,” however defined, and stresses the central importance of maintaining inflation at quite low rates. It is only in its emphasis on monetary aggregates that monetarism is not being widely espoused and practiced today.

I've seen the Dow go from 1000 to 15000. Ive made money and lost money. And guess what. It can go back to 1000. Its no different the going to vegas. It's gambling. And you can loose. If you wanted "safe money" you should of put it in a savings account, not on the roulette wheel.

Come on now, a year from now most of you will be bragging that you voted for him. ANYONE would be in over their head with the mess that has been left to them. I wasn't CRAZY about Obama but felt he was better than big business running the country. I had enough of those other two in the White House, wrapping themselves in the Flag and daring anyone to challenge their patriotism all while good men and women die for a unholy and unworthy cause.
