Supply Side: The Theft That Keeps on Taking?

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Well, how do you know they didn't pay back ? Some defaulted, not everyone.

dear, liberal govt wastes trillions each year on entitlement bailouts where they don't even ask to be paid back. Still over your head?

purchases back ( and forth) its own shares in the stock,.

dear, if a company buys its own share it does so for a managerial reason such as paying stock options to its employees who then have more money to spend in their community when they exercise the options.

Stick to you ABC's please.

Assuming the employees have stock options, which is not allways the case. (Wallmart?), more likely it will be the CEO and board of directors.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

they could borrow to a foreign company .

yes dear and a foreign bank could loan to an American company!!! So incredibly slow!!

Yes of course, but you miss my point : we are talking about the deposits of rich americans and the fact that by being on the bank it doesn't necesarily translate into an increase in capital investment or wealth creation.

too stupid of course. the wealthy deposit it for the highest possible interest rate so the bank has to invest it in sustainable economic growth while the govt wastes on bailouts

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Assuming the employees have stock options,.

dear there is no assumption of anything except that they do it for legitimate managerial purposes which means to help the business grow and improve our standard of living

Trickle-down economics is not supply-side economics.

Trickle-down economics is Keynesian economics marketed at Republicans.

goof liberal has no idea what she's talking about. Republicans(supply siders) are generally 100% opposed to Keynes( demand sider) tax and spend. If you disagree please say why or admit with your silence that as a liberal you have no idea on earth what you are talking about.

The government may redistribute (tax and spend) wealth--top-down--directly to stimulate demand, or they may do so indirectly through subsidies, special tax relief, and/or other bailouts.

Do Republicans support agriculture industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support petroleum industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support pharmaceutical industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support logging industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support mining industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support investment and banking industry subsidies? YES. Do Republicans support automobile industry subsidies? YES.

Does your Republican hugging myopia prevent you from perceiving the top-down Keynesian principle being applied? OF COURSE IT DOES.

stupid liberal from the jump!! Taxing inhibits demand, spending stimulates it so no net increase in demand is possible.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Do Republicans support agriculture industry subsidies? YES.

some do for political reasons but generally Republicans are far more conservative than Democrats and so don't support them. But don't forget political reasons matter since elections are decided by the flip floping independents.

A child would know this yet it has to be explained to you. What does that tell you?

And then it is up to the bank .

yes and a bank is a competitive business that lives and dies based on how well it invests for economic growth and higher standards of living while govt is a soviet monopoly that builds bridges to nowhere, bails out failed human beings who don't pay back a penny, and thereby produces a soviet standard of living.

Are you a soviet fool without the IQ to know it?

While it is true that banks compete against one another for customers it's far more important to understand that the entire banking sector is a government run cartel. Banks, up until recently, were the primary source of inflation by expanding deposits by a multiple, up to 1000% in some cases. It's called fractional reserve banking for a reason. Banks only have a fraction of the money that is deposited in accounts, making the entire system, for all intents and purposes, bankrupt. If we all go to the bank tomorrow to withdraw our money, the jig is up.

The entire system is rotten to the core and it's no accident that we are all bank slaves. Very few people can buy a house, car, or other high priced item without relying on a bank.

dear, The Federal Reserve exists to prevent the banks from expanding deposits or money supply too much . Thats why inflation is very very insignificant at less than 2%.

Do you understand your ABC's now??

ear, The Federal Reserve exists to prevent the banks from expanding deposits or money supply too much . Thats why inflation is very very insignificant at less than 2%.

How has the purchasing power of the dollar changed since 1913? Specifically, if a purchase cost twenty dollars 102 years ago, why would the same item require $472.14 today?

No, the Federal Reserve does no such thing. If you think insults will win a debate you're sadly mistaken. Do you even know how the CPI is calculated? Or GDP? Inflation is not at 2%. Speaking of inflation, do you know what inflation is? The Federal Reserve has 3 basic functions. Buying, or selling assets. Setting the price of liquidity, and raising or lowering reserve requirements. If the Federal Reserve exists to prevent banks from expanding deposits "too much" as you say, how did the massive credit expansion that went bust in 2008 occur? PFM? (pure fucking magic)
