Wow someone that actually has some of the facts.

Thank god.

By the way, what got us out of Stagflation was tight monetary and tight fiscal policy, as done by Paul Volcker.

Which is of course the opposite of what we are doing today. Which is problematic when you consider Stagflation.

Worth noting this is the same guy who wrote the Volcker banking rule to regulate banks.


So really, Supply side vs Demand side economics really isn't a fully accurate comparison to make. It's really more of a graph then a line when it comes to economics.

Republicans moving towards tighter fiscal and monetary control actually is a very new phenomena that hasn't been around since the end of stagflation.

Though this is getting WAAAAY off topic.

South Korea did have a class revolt. Non-Communist, largely because it incorporated the middle class and professionals as much as workers, but it was a revolt of the masses against the kind of jack-booted military regime that helped erode the moral high ground that our side had in the Cold War, in 1987.

Also, quote trees. Plus i think spaceguy might be trolling...

You'd be surprised, that's just him.   Moving it to wall comments though.  

Though for Sout Korea i just meant now.  I mean holy crap the difference between the rich and poor in some asian countries is ridiculious.  South Korea as refrenced in every westerners favorite K-pop video. (though it probably went over most peoples heads)

Singapore( i think?)  and China and thier recent outrageous street manslaughter cases where rich people just got off scott free.

Wonder if automatic quote tree elimination could be programmed into the site.

This really goes back to the fact that women from the southeast are the most attractive. It's a circle.

This thread is in serious need of some S.E. Cupp...

Aww yeah.  /thread

so obama started more wars and ramped up old ones to line the pockets of conservatives?

War profiteering is on both sides. It's not just one sided. There are over a 100,000 war contractors in afghanistan and about 65,000 troops. So yes both sides drink out of the same money sorce's. I don't just agree with sh-t like most. I have problems with both sides. If I had if my way I would have the green party win.

however they won't and so I vote democratically and send money to people like Bernie Sanders.

Obama started (and finished) one war only. Bush had a total of four military actions, two much larger than the other pair (actually Clinton beats that, between Bosnia, Kosovo, Somalia, a strike on Sudan and his own Haiti thing). Obama's up to three depending on if you count our more extensive efforts against Al-Shebab as a conflict. If not, two.

Sidebar here, but do you have any data to support this assertion? Just curious; the bruhaha about red states getting more in federal taxes than they pay in (compared to blue states: this sentence has gotten away from me) would suggest the opposite, but I admit the data could be broken down further.
