Deficits do not matter to the politicians who make them THEY ARE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT. Most think the other guy is going to pay for it, guess what you all pay for it even the very poor. Use your so called High IQ to figure that one out.
Which is why capitalism and democracy flourish in the context of our Constitutional Republic, where both are subject solely to the rule of law.I think the argument Wolin and Hedges are making is that regulation falls victim to corporate bribes, so it becomes essentially useless as far as democratic control of an economy is concerned.Of course regulated capitalism can co-exist with democracy.

Citizens are at liberty to enact regulatory measures via the political/democratic process as authorized by the Commerce Clause, corporations are at liberty to challenge regulatory measures in Federal court to determine if indeed those measures comport with Commerce Clause jurisprudence.
Why did government switch to command economies during WWI and WWII, greater efficiency, perhaps?Which is why capitalism and democracy flourish in the context of our Constitutional Republic, where both are subject solely to the rule of law.I think the argument Wolin and Hedges are making is that regulation falls victim to corporate bribes, so it becomes essentially useless as far as democratic control of an economy is concerned.Of course regulated capitalism can co-exist with democracy.

of course thats rubbish. The Commerce Clause was intending to support free trade between states and countries. The idea that libcommies in Washington can regulate trade better than millions of consumers using their buying power is insane and liberal.

Not entirely.dear, a capitalist economy would not be designed for war in any way. For example, there are no consumers shopping with their own money during war so your attempt at an anology is 100% insane or idiotic.
Does the libcommie understand?
Why does capitalism generate so much profit from war
That would be the tremendous consumer demand for Ben and Jerry's classic flavor:Why does capitalism generate so much profit from war
too stupid. Same reason it generates so much profit from from selling ice cream.
Capitalism profits from the mass murder of children AFTER first fattening them up? Would you call that value neutral economics?too stupid. Same reason it generates so much profit from from selling ice cream.

I suspect you are correct, but I think it's worth wondering how our Cossacks will respond when their Petrograd moment arrives?The cynic in me says we are at the point where we can only watch this urge play itself out. The cancer has spread to our very bone marrow (the environment, i.e., our life-giving systems). We had a good run.
Now we know why Goldman Sachs gave Obama's campaign over $900,000 in 2008. I agree progressives had a chance to roll back four decades of conservative gains that November. Unfortunately, the rich had their black knight waiting in the wings. Had Obama prosecuted the control accounting fraud on Wall Street that created the Great Recession, thousands of bankers would have faced jail time. Instead, we got Obamacare; that's scary.(ready for Hillary?)I was really hoping that the great recession would produce the kinds of democratic controls that came out of the Great Depression, but the Right, anticipating this, very successfully defended itself against any kind of democratic movement. Worse: they convinced a very vocal minority that the larger infrastructure of democratic controls that came out of the Great Depression was part of the problem. This is scary.

(Marx would call this "false consciousness" -
"a Marxist theory that people are unable to see things, especially exploitation,oppression,and social relations,as they really are; the hypothesized inability of the human mind to develop a sophisticated awareness of how it is developed and shaped by circumstances."yes, the libcommies want soviet controls having no idea it would result in a soviet standard of living.

For the same reason Hitler murdered Jews and communists instead of capitalists?yes too bad Marx was unable to see how his idea would slowly starve 125 million human beings to death. Please tell us why you picked Marx rather than Hitler
