Shocking number of young Americans say other countries are better

[okfine]

You can't get a grasp on other places until you spend quite a bit of time there. Where ever that is. You also see from the outside in.

What is "a grasp on other places"? I have traveled probably more extensively than anyone else reading this. I have this "grasp" you speak of and I can assure everyone that you can learn more from reading books, papers, history and newspapers than you can from taking tours and eating in foreign restaurants. Yes you meet people who speak strange languages. You can do that in any city in the United States and save lots of money. The divergence of opinion overseas is almost as great as it is here, but the Democrat Party is working very hard to make these the most DISUNITED States ever in history. It's really despicable and cowardly of them.

Ranting, Rioting, Spewing Bile, Physically Attacking - What's New?

Whatever, dude. Not a stop here and there. Traveling is nothing like living there, where ever.

America is the best country in the history of mankind

The findings showed that within the age group of 19-29, 47 percent of adult Democrat and Democrat-leaning individuals believe that there are other countries better than the United States, while within the same age group, 19 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning individuals agree. That leaves only 53 percent of young Democrats who prefer the United States to any other country, while 81 percent of young Republicans favor America.

Shocking number of young Americans say other countries are better

Why are taxpayers still subsidising these progressive bastions of America hate? This is what you're sending your kids off to come back as?

Hmm, but none leave. Wonder why?

 

[cnm]

Oh, so you're saying that you were offended that I said progressives were hateful toward Conservatives? Tough shit, they are.

Firstly, I'm not offended I'm amused at your disenginuity. Secondly, you didn't say that. Thirdly, you can't even put your own quote in context.

Because they are the same pampered, snot dripping, malcontents that live off of mommy and daddy and have NO understanding of really how things work in the real world..They simply parrot what their marxist prof's say without thought....And they're just vile little pukes too boot.

Many prefer to Make America Great Again.

No they don't. They are manipulative, deceptive, dishonest, and their policies are self destructive. They want socialism and free things. I would feel very good if they left this country and mooched off someone else.

Trump didn't give farmers free things? Who earned the billions the Fed is pumping? Are you working OT for that money?

Well, unlike Obama's "new normal" things are going very well for almost everyone. Farmers grow FOOD, and those are subsidies, kind of like Obama with trying to give subsidies to upstart things that are too expensive for most Americans to afford, like solar power!

Those farmers are corporations making a massive profit. There is no reason to give a for profit enterprise a free handout

Okay, then let Trump reverse all of the ones the Obama admin was giving too! Right? I mean if a basic necessity like food is not worth a subsidy, then neither is solar power.

It would be fine with me if our gov did not give out "stimulants" to certain sectors. Let's let the free market work it out.

The fear mongering is that unless we give farmers money, we will all starve

Fact is, farming has turned corporate and makes a good profit. Your typical farmer is worth millions

I'm basing that on what he has been doing and the great economy. Also, we are not currently involved in any new wars. It seems that Iran (or at least the people of Iran) coming to it's senses and perhaps wanting to be a part of the rest of the world. Good things are happening. You can continue on being negative and miserable. That's something you and your family have to live with, not me. *shrugs*

The economy is running off the very same thing it was running on under Obama. Remove the billions the Fed is pumping and we are in a recession. That is not something to brag about.

Remove the billions the Fed is pumping and we are in a recession.

Why do you feel that?

Because it's true. They have been pumping for a decade. What happens if all of that was removed tomorrow?

They have been pumping for a decade. What happens if all of that was removed tomorrow?

Nothing. Monetary policy works on a lag. And pushing on a string......doesn't have a huge GDP impact.

Of course it does. Quit counting it into GDP and see what happens.

What is the GDP formula?
There are two primary methods or formulas by which GDP can be determined:



#1 Expenditure Approach
The most commonly used GDP formula, which is based on the money spent by various groups that participate in the economy.

GDP = C + G + I + NX

C = consumption or all private consumer spending within a country’s economy, including, durable goods (items with a lifespan greater than three years), non-durable goods (food & clothing), and services.

G = total government expenditures, including salaries of government employees, road construction/repair, public schools, and military expenditure.

I = sum of a country’s investments spent on capital equipment, inventories, and housing.

NX = net exports or a country’s total exports less total imports.



#2 Income Approach
This GDP formula takes the total income generated by the goods and services produced.

GDP = Total National Income + Sales Taxes + Depreciation + Net Foreign Factor Income

Total National Income – the sum of all wages, rent, interest, and profits.

Sales Taxes – consumer taxes imposed by the government on the sales of goods and services.

Depreciation – cost allocated to a tangible asset over its useful life.

Net Foreign Factor Income – the difference between the total income that a country’s citizens and companies generate in foreign countries, versus the total income foreign citizens and companies generate in that country.

No mention of QE to be found in any calculation.

What does QE do? It allows more and more and more debt. Everyone is in debt now. The country is 23 trillion in debt.

The percentage of debt to GDP went from 39% in 2008 to 76% in 2017.

What does QE do?

It exchanges central bank reserves for assets.
In the US, the Fed buys Treasury debt and insured MBS.

Other central banks (like Japan) may buy stock indexes or other assets.

It allows more and more and more debt. Everyone is in debt now.

Did the Fed purchase of a 10 year Treasury add to your debt level? How?
Did it add to the debt level of the Federal government? How?

The country is 23 trillion in debt.

Which is unrelated to QE and unrelated to your incorrect claim about GDP.
