The Greatest Depression

[krischan]

Only one thought at a time? I think I will better try not to have any thoughts at all, at least from time to time.

*concentrates*

Only if torn out of its context. However, I lacked a bit clarity, by omitting the part "so they will have to borrow or print it before" thereafter.

Fair enough. You got what I objected to; America is going full speed down <both> wrong turns.

It's more accurate to call it adding water to the soup. A currency has its value from the assets of the country behind it. Printing more money doesn't add assets, just the amount of shares of trust in that country.

Agreed; you're "diluting" the value of the share by cranking out more of them. The Left's continuing failure to understand economics is the reason they think this is somehow a good idea. Borrowing money, OTOH, doesn't "dilute" the share, but rather makes the 'dividend' lower.

That still doen't make me a Tea Party follower, similar to me not being a socialist just because I'm a supporter of the social insurances here.

Sheesh, do I have to explain it again? You're a socialist because you live in a socialist system, regardless of your approbation of it. Citizens of the USSR were Communists whether they wanted to be or not. My assertion, though, was to question why TEA Party supporters are supposedly EBIL for their belief, while someone like yourself has no shame when suggesting their State shouldn't be rock-stupid for the self-same reasons.

I think I will better try not to have any thoughts at all, at least from time to time.

What would the difference be? (KIDDING!)

If we put that into a frame and call it "JMERVYN SAID THIS" everywhere while you might call it "THE TRUTH" yourself, I'm fine with it

[SaroDarksbane]

I wish the tea party and OWS would coalesce into one group focused on bringing down the fed and the banking system. Then everyone would get what they want.

[Talga Vasternich]

As long as they cripple the House of Representatives and Senate while they're at it, I think Saro has an outstanding idea.

I'll 3rd the motion.

Which part? As I recall, I'm the one who provides citations and proof for my claims, while the best you might manage is "I choose not to believe you despite your overwhelming evidence."

I'll 3rd the motion.

Yeah, but the problem is that the OWS are redistributive/socialists/progressives just bolting the public outrage on for show: "Smash the System! Obama 2012!"

[krischan]

I don't think you made a distinction between The Truth and things you were saying, so what's wrong with what I said?

With respect to my and your proof, it's as usual. I don't accept your proof as such and vice versa.

You don't see the incoherency here? There's not much I can do to fix that.

OWS and the Tea Party are 2 sides of the same coin. They both see, and despise, the rot. The Tea Party looks at the corrupt, bought government and want to throw the bums out. OWS looks at the people who are buying and corrupting the government and want to throw the bums out. Obviously, both buyers and buyees would like to turn both sides against one another so that they fight each other instead of the real problem, the buyers and buyees.

You would see that if you weren't a Republican lobbyist.
