In government, there is a long-run tendency to keep trying the same thing again and again, no matter how often or how badly it fails. Keynesianism is, after all, as Joseph Salerno points out, the "economics of state power." And that guides us to the foundational problem: the monopoly entity that rules and devastates society for its own benefit.

Red...
Thanks for the reminder that no matter how wet it gets in New York we still face some serious threats to our economic existence.
Those problems will wait for you long after the storm has gone. ::)

Good to see these things aren't a problem for you too. Says a lot.
Now stop that! That is exactly why you get accused of twisting words. You know exactly what I meant. Unless you are an editor for Simon and Shuster cut that out.

No. The art of omission often speaks loudly. What you omit is very sometimes revealing. Words are important...as are the lack of them.
I didn't" omit" anything.YOU chose to leave Red's topic and swing to "wet in New York." Had nothing to do with me. I just stated an economic fact. Leaving.

I left his topic? No I thanked him for his topic. Wow, you do live in an alternate universe, don't you?
You're right, red. Liberal types do have a problem with comparative analysis of history.... even recent history with the words right in front of them.
Patriot, you are a jerk...And a bully who twists words. Diane, I'm with you.

Let me guess.... you were goaded into that passionate Christian expression of agape (see Vine's Expository of Biblical Words), right?
Patriot, get over yourself.

Patriot, get over yourself.
At a loss for words to debate facts, are you? Ad hominem attacks all you got left? Coulter is right, it seems.
:o Better be careful using those large words, Patriot...You might hurt yourself... ;D
I really apologize, catwoman. Given your background in education, it honestly never occurred to me that you don't know much about the proper & appropriate functions of government in the American representative republic. I'm sorry for the assumption that you possessed such knowledge in sufficient quantity to engage in a rational debate on the subject.
Here, have a smiley face instead. :)
That just about says it all.
OMG...You mean I've been dealing with a closet intellectual this entire time? Well, then...My apologies...Why didn't you show some sign of cognitive ability previous to this? And here you've mislead the Forum into believing you're nothing but a rightwing loonie...Shame on you... ;D

So, exactly what is your take on Keynesian economic policies and their overall effect on free market systems?
Or...
Here's another smiley for your collection. :)
Dearie, unlike you closet intellectuals who glom onto one particular buzz term and then stomp it to death through repetitive usage (I wonder which of the various intelligences THAT falls under), there those who are smart enough to realize that there are MANY different policies that have various either steadying or detrimental effects on the free market system. Now...You can take your ball and go back out to play, little boy...And you keep on dropping the newest in buzz term usage, as often as you need to, in order to make it seem like you truly do have a complete understanding of the free market system and its various strengths or weaknesses.
Oh...And here ya go...A smiley face for ya...I wouldn't want you to leave empty-handed... ;D

Thanks for that clear, concise and well framed presentation of your knowledge regarding Keynesian economics, catwoman. Just to be sure I understood you clearly..... you don't have or are incapable of forming a clear position on the subject. Bout right?
QuoteAccording to Keynesian theory, some microeconomic-level actions — if taken collectively by a large proportion of individuals and firms — can lead to inefficient aggregate macroeconomic outcomes, wherein the economy operates below its potential output and growth rate

Not sure ready, but I'm betting that anyone who reads this, uh, has internet access. That is to say... they are ready too. Just not as ready as you. ;)
Got that right! Patriot!
readyaimduck, fire!
LOL...Ready, you're too funny... ;D...
Patriot, clearly and concisely put...This theory is given to stating the obvious. Period. Debating its finer points is a bore.
Now...This has been a "fun" way to use up a slow portion of the day. I'm off to go plot the downfall of the willfully ignorant...Otherwise known as making lesson plans! lol
Patriot, you are an interesting old curmudgeon, in spite of yourself... ;D

Dearie,
Dear,
Are you patronizing Patriot, after reading me the riot act for using the very same term of endearment in a post to you.
How rich is that, dearie?
The devil made me do it. :angel:
Aw, Ross...Lighten up...Your blood pressure will be topping out soon... ;D
DITTO
LOL ;D

I don't blame Pam for posting what she did. I'm surprised it's taken her this long to say it openly.
Bully for both of you. Of course, I don't know why conservatives have put up with liberal progressive lies and false accusations and childish name calling for years. But that seems to be changing in America now. Funny how tight that shoe is when it's on the other foot and you're not the only voice in the debate, no?
I am a moderate, Patriot...Try to listen closely and you might hear THIS TIME what I've said repeatedly...I am not not a liberal and have never been one. Try again.

I draw my conclusions my based on the collective (pardon the pun) of what you post, not on your self proclamation. If you engage in defenses of programs/philosophies that clearly fit the model of the liberal progressive mindset, then guess what... If it talks like a duck egro, it's probably a duck. And calling a duck a swan doesn't make the critter a swan. But, to be fair, I'll keep listening and am continually reevaluating.
