I never thought of the OECD, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Bureau of Economic Research as "free market think tanks," but if that makes you feel better, okay.
Shogy...
I ain't gonna spend five minutes of my time watching this. Give me the Readers Digest version, then I will tell you what's going to happen over the next 20 years in 10 sentences of less.
Neoconservatism and The Chicago School are two very, very different philosophies, though uninformed people like Naomi Klein seem to mix the two differing belief systems.
20 years? try a video that IS ALREADY almost 20 years old. You wanna recap? Greenspan gets his ass handed to him for espousing bullshit "free market" mantras despite the FACT of our economic trend of jettison market share. Thats the thing, toro.. You can predict all you want like the oracle of delphi all day long but, as has been the economic fact, your ideology just doesn't pan out. This senator was telling Ole Al the same shit in the early 90s that Im telling you today.
and yes, when capitalists have inflitrated the OECD, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the National Bureau of Economic Research then their failing ideologies is what they will sell to you as if it means more than they are proven not to. Were you similarly shocked to find out that a conservative president sets up an abstinence only standard in sex ed as the "official" policy despite it's failure evident in LESS time than some 20 spread?
oh, and regarding your WSJ OPINION piece? whoopty fucking do. A capitalist is as blinded by theoretical bullshit as you are. WOW. Im really shocked. Truly. Someone build a statue to commemorate this historic event. Indeed, by brushing off a floundeing economy as "well, it reminds me of the industrial revolution" pretty much shows how limited your scope really is.
Ah yes.. the some ole rosy bullshit from a capitalist who wold insist that our economy is NOT floundering despite what any schmoe off of the street will tell you. Indeed, I wonder how many "i dont give a fuck because im taking my money and running to the next gig" capitalist eat that shit up, toro?
Again, you can disregard the FACT of Greenspans' ass being handed to him, our sour economy which is the direct product of your favorite economic schema, and the result of allowing multi-national conglomerates such leeway all you want, dude. At the end of the day, trying to strawman MICROSOFT and YAHOO won't validate your bullshit free market wet dream. The evidence doesn't lie in some masterful stats with a nice glossy graph and circles and arrows and it sure as hell isn't impressive to cry demagogue just because your crackpipe theories just didn't pan out over the last 30 years.
Here's what the Chicago School of Economics genuses want us to believe, folks.
That they had NO IDEA that:
1. offshoring tens of millions of jobs; PLUS,
2.allowing corporation to shelter their money from taxation off shore;
PLUS,
3. giving trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the people who doing the aforementions things to America; PLUS,
4. getting us into an expensive war and occupation of TWO ASIAN NATIONS ...
...WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that they convinced starry eyed I just read Atlas Shrugged and Oh my god! it's like the most brilliant thing I've ever read libertopians doesn't surprise me, since most of them are conceited enough to think they're John Galt and are somday going to dine at the Mansion with the super wealthy.
But you cannot convince me that any honest economist could possible imagine that the above policies wouldn't BANKRUPT the national goverment AND the people, too.
Anyone who supports the neo-cons must truly hate their nation and th epeople in it, because those policies are likely to make us a banana republic in the next generation or so.
Welcome to BananAmerica. folks.
Compliments of neo-con masters of our universe and the class traitors and goverment haters who supported them.
Ad hominem attack that is irrelevant to the issue.
American manufacturing output has continued to increase, despite the hysterical comments.
Usually, dogmatic ideologues who are confronted with empirical evidence try to attack the data. Your strategy seems to be to swear a lot. That's novel.
It's amusing that you dismiss out of hand the tremendous successes of American technology companies while you are typing on a machine whose intellectual content was developed almost entirely by American ingenuity. I'm sure the irony is lost on you.
about as irrelevant as a friggin BLOG?
American manufacturing output doesn't equate American manufacturing JOBS. You try and pull fast ones on the nomenclature much like those who reporr unemployment rates are only using data from unemployment claims rather than reflecting on a total percentage for unemployed Americans.
But hey.. who needs reality when you've got some stats and a shiny, glossy line graph?
I enjoy the descriptive range of vocab entrenched in profanity. so fucking sue me.
And, a TINY percentage of success stories don't convey the whole picture of our economy. Hell, SOMEONE was making a profit during the Great Depression. Again, WHOOP T FUCKING DO.
American ingenuity my ass. Again, SHOW ME A SINGLE microprocessor factory in the US.
YOu may have a hard on for a fractional percentage at the top of the class heirarchy getting their profit on but it's not at all impressive to the rest of us who gets to starve at the whim of bastard capitalists. ASSEMBLED IN AMERICA really isn't the same as MADE IN AMERICA, dude.
I get the impression you'd be all for child labor if you thought it would provide the slightest investment increase for your portfolio. But, thats pretty typical, isn't it.
SCIENCE? you call hiding behind erroneous stats SCIENCE? sucker, please.
Again, "production" doesn't speak on EMPLOYMENT. Finding a cheaper way to cut jobs doesn't increase the social value of production. If 1 out of 100 people provides food there is still no value unless those other 99 can afford the price of the product. by marginalizing those 99 with bullshit globalist free trade capitalist theories you do nothing but shoot yourself in the foot wondering why no one can buy the shit being produced.. Take a gander at the housing market in this brittle economy and put your devious statistics back in the shit bin where you found them.
Indeed, it's people like you that CAUSED people like Marx.
