The death of a FAIRYTALE

[Truthmatters]

stupid people cling to stupid ideas instead of following the facts.

 

[The T]

You will have to explain why countries in Europe who followed a more conservative plan have tanked their economies.


No amount of calling names will make these facts disapear.

By your reckoning TDM? Conservative=Socialist.

 

[Truthmatters]

Your economic plans did not work where they were tried, YET AGAIN!

 

[Truthmatters]

you can try to pretend the words mean something other than the dictionary definitions but that didnt work for you in your attempt to malign the word democracy either.

No wonder your party is dying

Critics warned from the beginning that austerity in the face of depression would only make that depression worse. But the “austerians” insisted that the reverse would happen. Why? Confidence! “Confidence-inspiring policies will foster and not hamper economic recovery,” declared Jean-Claude Trichet, the former president of the European Central Bank — a claim echoed by Republicans in Congress here. Or as I put it way back when, the idea was that the confidence fairy would come in and reward policy makers for their fiscal virtue.

The good news is that many influential people are finally admitting that the confidence fairy was a myth. The bad news is that despite this admission there seems to be little prospect of a near-term course change either in Europe or here in America, where we never fully embraced the doctrine, but have, nonetheless, had de facto austerity in the form of huge spending and employment cuts at the state and local level.

You can't kill fairy tales with facts. As this thread clearly shows, the believers will close their eyes, ears and minds and regurgitate a litany of other fairy tales to support their house of cards belief system.
Nice try, though.

When you don't have any money to spend, you stop spending. It's not austerity. It's called the freaking sane thing to do.

If your household is in debt, you don't go out and get 5 more credit cards to go further in debt. That's crazy.

That's why we're ok in Canada because we aren't printing monopoly money out the ying yang. It's called financial prudence. Sweden's hanging in and Britain is getting back on the right track.

Stop spending money you don't have. It's really a no brainer.

Very true. We were told four years ago to start saving, paying off debt which millions did. Unfortunately, govt doubled down on more rabid spending.....after telling us to save. So when they beg for more money through taxation my sympathies are not to be found.

Now if we can convince the American left?

One can only dream I'm trying to remember if it was Pelosi who said we have to spend our way out of debt?

 

[M.D. Rawlings]

How can you win an election with OBVIOULY failed ideas?

Fiscal responsibility, spending within one's means, is a failed idea? Since when?

 

[Truthmatters]

why do you people NEVER admitt when you are wrong?

Four decades of socialism did that.

It never ceases to amaze me how ignorant some on the left are when it comes to economics. With Britain, for example.... it was 13 years of left wing bullshit that got them into this clusterfuck... and now they find a shortfall of nightmare proportions in their public sector pension deficit... and how do our left wing poster react? They completely ignore that and rant about 'failed' right wing solutions. Anyone with an IQ over room temperature knew that the UK would be likely to slip back into recession... but... on the plus side... when it comes out the other side... which it will... it will be stronger for it. And, they ignore that the UK private sector is investing, and recruiting... which is damned sight better than our 'recovered' economy.

Gobly gook talk.

We're doing just fine up here. First reason is we didn't go hells bells full steam ahead throwing money around willy nilly.

You guys are so far in debt, I fear you are FUBAR.

We have a Prime Minister who has a Masters in Economics and has had a day job in his life.

We have a finance minister who freaking knows what he's doing.

These things help a country instead of academics running an administration who don't have a clue what they are doing.

 

[Truthmatters]

not a shred of fact to back your failed ideas
