Keynes was just a sleazy propagandist who told the politicians exactly what they wanted here. He provided them a pseudo-scientific justification for all the antisocial policies they had always wanted to try. Every theory Keynes postulated turned out to be false. Not only that, but none of his theories were even original. Various frauds and con-artists had been promoting that shit for decades, if not centuries.

Note that you didn't even attempt to contradict what I posted.

Sorry wing nutter, the US was FOUNDED on a SOCIETY, as Ben said, don't like it, go live among the savages!

With turds like you the term "society" is indistinguishable from the word "government." So your claim is that the US government was founded on a government. It's nonsensical. Of course, most of the crap you post is nonsensical.



Quote one thing I have posted that isn't a fact. You're the one posting the appeals to authority and analogies that are clearly inappropriate.



ROFL! Ludwig von Mises was the only economist in the world to predict the financial panic that led to the Great Depression. What policies endorsed by the Austrian school have ever caused a recession, not printing phony money like there's no tomorrow? If Keynes' theories were correct this economy in the last decade should have seen the largest boom ever recorded. Keynes policies fail every time they are tried.

"Keynesian economics is the view that in the short run, especially during recessions, economic output is strongly influenced by aggregate demand (total spending in the economy). In the Keynesian view, aggregate demand does not necessarily equal the productive capacity of the economy; instead, it is influenced by a host of factors and sometimes behaves erratically, affecting production, employment, and inflation

Ludwig von Mises pointed out in the 1920s that government inflation of the currency or the credit supply is what causes financial panics. He was right and all the sleazy con artists that you endorse have been dead wrong.

New neoclassical synthesis or new synthesis is the fusion of the major, modern macroeconomic schools of thought, new classical and new Keynesian, into a consensus on the best way to explain short-run fluctuations in the economy. This new synthesis is analogous to the neoclassical synthesis that combined neoclassical economics with Keynesian macroeconomics.The new synthesis provides the theoretical foundation for much of contemporary mainstream economics. It is an important part of the theoretical foundation for the work done by the Federal Reserve and many other central banks."

If neoclassical economics is wrong, then why would anyone want to "synthesize" it with the Keynesian mumbo-jumbo?

Yes, we see how the 'hands off' private sector will price in the risk happened in 1920's, and the Banksters world wide credit crisis, lol

Regulators and policymakers enabled this process at virtually every turn. Part of the reason they failed to understand the housing bubble was willful ignorance: they bought into the argument that the market would equilibrate itself. In particular, financial actors and regulatory officials both believed that secondary and tertiary markets could effectively control risk through pricing.

Most of the elements of Austrianism are so directly contradicted by data that the belief system practically screens itself for people who are out of touch with reality.
—Noah Smith


Austrian economics (or the Austrian school of economics) is a school of economic thought that eschews mathematical modeling and empirical testing in favor of a narrative approach termed "praxeology."

lol

Austrian arguments as to why statistical methods cannot adequately describe human behavior can seem intuitively compelling, but they fail to provide the mathematical proof demonstrating why normally unbiased estimates suddenly become biased simply because they are dealing with people who make decisions. Perhaps one reason they are so uncomfortable with empiricism is that Austrian economists are more interested in defending the political ideology of libertarianism than they are in advancing economic understanding

"Starving the beast" is a political strategy employed by American conservatives in order to limit government spending by cutting taxes in order to deprive the government of revenue in a deliberate effort to force the federal government to reduce spending.

Before his election as President, then-candidate Ronald Reagan foreshadowed the strategy during the 1980 US Presidential debates, saying "John Anderson tells us that first we've got to reduce spending before we can reduce taxes. Well, if you've got a kid that's extravagant, you can lecture him all you want to about his extravagance. Or you can cut his allowance and achieve the same end much quicker."

Starve the beast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We already know what economic policies work best for our country. Clinton knew that we had to cut spending and increase revenues. We had revenues of 20.6% of GDP and a surplus in 2000. Then something terrible happened, the Republicans gained complete control in 2001 and instead of sticking with what was working they decided that their ideology was more important. The debt has gone up $12 trillion since then.

one state or nation to ever run successfully with your wing nutter libertarian fantasy

that still isn't a response to what i posted. However, the bottom line is that the closer a society gets to laizzes faire, the better it does.

Somalia....

ROFL! How beautifully liberal.

You actually believe they observe laizzes faire and limited government in Somalia?

 

[ScienceRocks]

Our federal government has a constitutional mandate to maintain and advance this country. You people really need to learn more about the contitution.

-We need roads
-We need science institutions
-We need education for all. We're better off for it.
-We need to invest in science and tech

I am all for a strong and free private sector, but this country doesn't rotate around it. You people are dead wrong about stealing.

Yep, we tried it during the industrial revolution. Most of society was treated like dog shit.

Yeah, millions of people left the farm to work in the factories because life on the farm was so much better than life in the city . . . . . no, wait.

Horseshit. The Constitution says no such thing.

Without the private sector, there would be nothing in this country. It would be one big shithole like the former Soviet Union.

 

[OnePercenter]

man up and answer the question:

how are taxes levied by a duly elected representative government the same as theft?

Taking money or property from someone without his consent is how the word "theft" is defined.

Well then, silly ass, go to a country that has no taxes. We really don't like freeloaders like you here. Every time you take a drink of water or ride on public streets, you are using the tax money of taxpayers.

His Libertarianism has made him stupid.

This idiot has no idea about how bad life was during the 18th century. We couldn't put the cat back into the bag without losertrian ideas of I hate goverment and corporations working over time. Personally, I wouldn't want to.

People like you need to understand a limited Government does not mean No Government.

Now back to science, education, and blah blah blah.

 

[Synthaholic]

You like driving down a paved road?
You like being warned about that hurricane or tornadoe
You like seeing your country being the best in science?
You like investment into the best tech?
You like all our children being educated. Sure, it needs reform but I surely do.


Well, I'll pay the goddamn taxes. Now, I believe Obama sucks as a President and has miss managed them as he's giving disablity and welfare out like candy. But don't blame the above for our mess.

Where do you come up with this crap?

Federal Tax Revenues Set Record Through May; Feds Still Running $436B Deficit

Federal tax revenues continue to run at a record pace (in inflation-adjusted dollars) in fiscal 2014, as the federal government’s total receipts for the fiscal year closed May at an unprecedented $1,934,919,000,000, according to the Monthly Treasury Statement.

Despite record revenue, the federal government still ran a deficit of $436.382 billion in the first eight months of the fiscal year, which began on Oct. 1, 2013 and will end on Sept. 30, 2014.

In the month of May alone, the federal government ran a deficit of $129.971 billion--bringing in $199.889 billion in revenue while spending $329.860 billion.

The White House Office of Management and Budget has estimated that in the full fiscal 2014, the federal government will collect $3.001721 trillion in taxes, spend $3.650526 trillion, running a deficit of $648.805 billion.

The OMB has also estimated that, while running that deficit, the federal government will collect a record amount in inflation-adjusted tax revenues.

When adjusted for inflation (to constant 2014 dollars), the second-greatest federal tax haul through May was in fiscal 2007. By the end of May that year, the federal government took in approximately 1.908 trillion in total receipts in constant 2014 dollars...

You dead heads screaming about taxes are a hoot! Let me point out a few things to you.
If you want a strong army you have to pay for it.
If you want a strong Navy you have to pay for it.
If you want a strong Air Force you have to pay for it.
If you want a freeway system you have to pay for it.
If you want your food inspected so it is safe you have to pay for it.
If you want a national park system you have to pay for it.
If you want to send and receive mail you have to pay for it.
If you want safe air travel you have to pay for it.
If you want safe and effective medicine you have to pay for it.
If you want to honor your promise to veterens you have to pay for it.
If you want clean air and water you have to pay for it.
If you want a national court system you have to pay for it.
If you want an FBI you have to pay for it.
Our government makes our lives safer and better each day and you do not give it a thought. You think it should be free. Life does not work that way. If you want a country where you don't have to pay for the services it provides, go to Somolia, the Sudan, or the Congo. Good bye and good riddance.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr said it best: "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society." The fact you do not want to pay those taxes and be a free loader says exactly what type of world you want. But then again, you are a republican which pretty much says what a low life you are.

18.1% of the GDP in Federal Revenue since WWII irregardless of tax rates..................

Spending at 24% plus of GDP.........Interest on the debt at 358 Billion so far this year......................

Got MATH..........................

Record profits, yet still not enough.

Revenues aren't 'profits'. Anyone with an even passing understanding of business or the terminology are aware of this. And taxes aren't theft.

It seems that the meaning of words have very little to do with your claims.
