Economics 101

[Dragonlady]

According to Forbes Magazine, the US is No. 20, and sliding down the list.

Every one of the countries in the Top 10 is a left wing social democracy. Countries with single payer health care, good education systems and a strong social safety net.

No snowflake...they aren’t. All of them outrank the U.S. in the economic freedom index thanks to Barack Insane Obama and the Dumbocrats.

Economic freedom always ends in prosperity, while failed left-wing socialism always ends in poverty...

Economies rated “free” or “mostly free” in the 2018 index enjoy incomes that are more than twice the average levels in all other countries, and more than five times higher than the incomes of “repressed” economies.

Imagine the permanent prosperity we could enjoy if not for the greedy and lazy left.

Check out Europe and England. Horror story has nothing on how those socialist cesspools progress economically.

The Heritage Foundation. A joke.

Then it should be easy for you to disprove the information about which you are whining.

Best Countries for Business

Easy to do when your population is, like, 10, and you have everybody else paying for your defense budget, so you don't have to worry about spending on infrastructure. Not being several thousand miles wide is also a great money saver and logistical bennie. Apples and oranges. Their parasite population is just now catching up to U.S. levels as well; not bordering nasty atavistic narcos states that use your country as a dumping ground for its poor is another big bonus and geographical advantage.

Picaro is mixing apples and oranges again. The US can do the same thing by trimming 10% of the DOD and still protect the free world. He is nativistic, uber nationalistic, anti democracy, pro white ethno state, and so forth: the antithesis of a true American.

 

[P@triot]

This is obvious to anyone who understands basic economics.

As a small business owner, I know firsthand that when lawmakers create legislation that forces employers to increase employees' hourly pay via mandate, it ultimately leads to reduced hours, business closures, and job losses.

Unfortunately - that one requirement immediately disqualifies progressives. This “Fight for $15” stupidity is the same type of stupidity that collapsed Venezuela and sent the entire nation spiraling into extreme poverty.

Jake hates geography, and can't find anything about a 'pro white ethno state' in any of my posts, so we know he's just trying to parrot rubbish the Hive thinks is a real response. Jake wouldn't be caught dead hangin with anybody in Da Hood, he pees himself if he finds himself alone in a room with anybody who doesn't look like Heidi Klum, so he overcompensated for his knee jerk racism by babbling inane crap on the innernetz, like the other Burb Brats constantly do.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Picaro can deny his racialistic tendencies all he wants, and who cares? The ad homs by him simply witness I have nailed to the wall.

Government - Interest Expense on the Debt Outstanding

 

[P@triot]

The US can do the same thing by trimming 10% of the DOD and still protect the free world.

We can’t even properly protect the free world now because of the damage the Dumbocrats have done to our nation. We need at least a 10% increase to our defense budget.

However, what we can do, is cut 100% of the unconstitutional “welfare” bullshit. That would save us over $1 trillion per year. We could fund everything and still pay off the national debt in less than 25 years.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nonsense, brother P@triot. We can easily defend the free world with 75% of the current DOD budget. But if we throw away the safety net then we are the immoral nation of the world.

Ah, the Republicans love to talk about paying off the national debt, and yet, they never have. At present Republicans have all three branches of government, and they still blame the only party that has paid off the debt, for their failure.

More ignorant attacks based on your lack of brain activity, and nothing else. Just your opinion, and you know how much I value your opinion. Dipshit.

I agree 100% with that. The Republican Party has completely failed the American people when it comes to a fiscally conservative budget.

But there is one thing I will say in their defense. It is the idiot Dumbocrats who bury the Republicans (and this nation) with the unconstitutional programs (welfare, Social Security, Medicaid, Obamacare) that have fiscally devasted this nation and sent us off of the cliff.

OMG...you actually replied to a post properly! Hallelujah!

That is a significant step for the dumbest poster on USMB!

The minimum wage has been raised many time, me boy. And EVERY SINGLE TIME, cons like yourself has told of impending danger. But, EVERY SINGLE TIME, employment has improved over a pretty short time. So, the stupidity is yours. Trying to relate raising the minimum wage to the issues in Venezuela is, on the other hand, a con talking point. Really, you may want to try impartial sources.

Your link is more proof of who you are, me boy. The Daily Signal is a right wing nut case source used by con trolls, but unimportant to those who prefer a little truth.

No they didn’t. Republicans under George W. Bush sent the US economy off the cliff. Obama saved not just the USA but the world economy as well.

The social programs you decry - welfare, food stamps and unemployment benefits, are what kept your economy afloat and prevented the Great Recession from turning into another Great Depression. That’s why it’s referred to as a “social safety net”, and it worked.

Got proof, me boy? Your right wing rantings are just boring.
