Remember when I said austerity doesn't work? Well, do you?

[LJ_Reloaded]

Of course not. Everyone struggles hard to forget when I'm right about economics. Pretty much that means forgetting EVERYTHING I've ever said, LOL.

But wait... Paul Krugman, Nobel Laureate and most accurate predictor among all pundits, has been agreeing with me on this, too. Hmmmm.

There are few political commentators who excite such passion (whether admiration or, on the other end, rage) as New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. The reason seems obvious: He writes directly about one of the most central issues in politics—the economy—and does so decisively and definitively. The man is, after all, a Nobel laureate in the field. But unlike so many other scientists and experts, he also happens to have a way with words and little inclination to pull punches.

Krugman's latest book, End This Depression Now!, makes a strong case that the current focus on cutting budget deficits is misplaced. An economic crisis like this, with lingering high unemployment, demands a big infusion of government stimulus, argues Krugman. In contrast, cutting spending or imposing austerity only worsens things—just as we've seen of late across Europe.

Well, austerity hasn't seemed to work in Europe. But Americans think they're special and this is just what we need. After all the stock market is back to "normal", corporations are sitting on.a ton of cash and it just doesn't make sense to help those people who still can't find jobs. I mean really, who do these people think they are? Geeze. There are more important things Americans need to do than get the job situation under control. Like legislating abortions, telling women that they're so silly for not lying back and enjoying being raped. Working on getting rid of those evil birth control pills. Making sure every American has a gun from the time they can walk to ensure they all follow the Second Amendment. Nope. Austerity for Americans is the program now. We'll show the world what a great nation we are. If we don't blow ourselves up or shoot each other up first. The end.

Regulate women, but don't regulate corporations.

Bingo. Focus on the women. The GOP will keep focusing on women to "prove" their family values. Meanwhile corporations with their lack of focus continue to cause havoc with the earth and its people. Such as the Koch brothers and their cancer causing plants. The GOP won't have another president in the White House for decades unless they stop their assault on women's rights.

Bill Clinton, with great fanfare and adulation, signed legislation to protect women form sexual predators such as himself before using his power to seduce an intern and then deny yet another date rape victim her day in court.

Meanwhile, we have Dodd-Frank hamstringing business and the economy.

Which one of those three is the Wepuwiccan?

Like the supply-side economics you believe in, fiscal austerity has never worked anywhere. But you push your ideology above reality no matter what. You think you're right because you think you're right.

And that is why Obama won in November. You can continue to live in denial like many others on the right. And the GOP will keep screwing themselves out of the White House. It's called shooting yourself in the foot, repeatedly. Which is insanity.

What denial do I live in?

I understand what is happening against the historical background of why Republics die.

Commenting upon it is not an attempt to change, or even stop it; I am powerless to do that, but when it all crashes down, all those dreams of Eden, then all of the admonishments of the past will come rushing back in to fill the void in very much the same way as Islam seeps in to replace a Christianity crushed.

Now if you want to have a sane discussion of the economic realities of fiat money and welfare states, then perhaps we should leave LT to his inane mutterings and fantastic dreams of a day when white people are the real slaves forever paying reparations for the foundation of greatness that was Liberalism.

It would really be helpful if your posts were more concrete and less abstract..I have no idea what you're saying..And I'm not trying to be snarky.

Aj just compared his c+p drivel to Noam Chomsky? LMAO. Hubris, thy name is AJ.

You've been told the answer to this question for years and now you don't know?

 

[BoyNextDoor]

A missing part of the conversation, and a critical part, is that you can't just spend. How the government spends and what it spends on has massive significance that is often overlooked and ignored while the ideologic banter rages on.

...New York Times columnist Paul Krugman...The man is, after all, a Nobel laureate in the field.

And President Obama is "a Nobel laureate in the field" of "Peace"...

...and yet he continues to authorize the drone killing of yet unknown scores of innocent children, women, and men all over the world.

Your point was?

Just a FYI... this guy is an alt. The fourth or fifth Literotica nickname for a poster named AJ. He used to go by Audra_Jenny, FawkinInjun, Sintil8, Cap'n Amatrixca and a few others - and each of these names racked up an average of THIRTY THOUSAND POSTS apiece.

Before he declared that I was on ignore, he used to hurl racial slurs at me just to start shit, and then when I handed him his own medicine back at him, he cried foul like the little pansyboy that he is.

BTW have you discussed martial arts with this dude? He claims to be a master.

You either say something stupid or you say something that is stupidly obvious because everyone already knows it. Why should you be applauded for doing either one?

Also, your taste in porn is absolute shit.

Obviously you either have a steaming pile of horsshit for brains or you are new here. Conservatives on Literotica have been arguing vehemently that austerity is the way out of this mess. Actually, it's more than likely that both are true: you're new here and you have horseshit for brains.

As for my taste in porn, you didn't even know what a naked female looks like before you came here. You're probably too young to be allowed to know, and in any case any human female who has sex with you is automatically guilty of bestiality so that just ain't happenin'.

Go eat a shotgun, preferably in a cabbage patch so as to properly fertilize the crops.
