Thomas Sowell quotes. Let's watch how this drives the racists on the left crazy.

Trump trade policy is the exact opposite.... Trump has been the king of giant bailouts....

Sounds awful! I guess you won't be voting for him.

So you don't believe in the policy of the Chicago School of Economics then? You seem really confused....

I'm not confused at all.

Will you be voting for Trump, because giant bailouts are cool?

Ok well you are clearly a trumper and he clearly doesn't follow the policy of the Chicago School of Economics. So you can't have both. Your responses are very dodgy....

Your responses are very dodgy....

Brain whined.....as he runs away.

So you won't actually answer a question. You want to pretend you can be for trump while defending the Chicago School of Economics? That is funny stuff. Your dodge is noted.

Where did I ever say Trump followed the Chicago School? Link?

That wasn't the question. I asked if you follow. You dodged. You seemed to be defending earlier. We know you follow trump. What about the Chicago School of Economics? I await your next dodge.

No fair, only Brain gets to dodge!!!

It was an easy question. Clearly dodging is all you got. Shocking.

I like the Chicago School and I'm voting for Trump.

And you?

I like the Chicago School and for that reason could not vote Trump. It makes no sense that you are both....

Your like for the Chicago School is leading you to vote for...........?

The right moves to the left and the left moves farther to the left. I will vote for Biden. Trump is clearly a disaster. Maybe if trump loses by a lot the right will stop being socialists.

You make sure in every post you state you are an Independent. You follow with a Leftist rant foaming as hard as the rest. Independent won't vote for Biden and no American will vote for him either. Due to his brain malfunction the Socialist peons will be making all the decision for him. He has already committed to $2 trillion for climate change and making AOC his green czar. He has that bullet magnet Beto 0'Crap his gun czar. Joe said he would back pay WHO. If Joe through some fraud won we would have to finish the civil war these tyrants started 4 years ago trying to un-seat a setting president with paid for lies, false evidence, and criminal acts. If you think Joe for president after watching these crimes for four years. Don't call your self an Independent. I'm an Independent and an Independent would never vote for any democrat. Your a Socialist (a necessary step to Communism) You might fool those democrats but you don't fool me or anyone else. Except those democRats

People will vote biden because trump is a failure. Huge deficits, huge bailouts, recession, riots, closings....

I will vote for Biden.

Is he closer to the Chicago School? Not that he remembers what that means at this point.

Yes he might be. Trump tariffs and bailouts are as far from the school as possible. So was his support for the huge corporate welfare Foxconn. Increasing deficits during a strong economy is also against the school. More importantly if we are to ever move back closer to the Chicago School we will need a Republican to do that. Trump moving farther and farther away is against that cause.

Chicago school? Not cutting taxes and not increasing deficits after a record period of growth is tax policy 101. His tax cut was bad policy in any school.

I always liked Sowell's columns but for political satire nobody could beat Al Capp. Pity most liberals looking at his work took it at face value and chuckled. One can but wonder what he could do with today's situation. On "the virus" he likely would have trotted out the Shmoos:

 

[RandomPoster]

My favorite article of Thomas Sowell's is titled "The Survival of the Left". Here is the text.

"BIOLOGISTS EXPLAIN how organisms adapt to their physical environment, but ideologues also adapt to their social environment. The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.

The academic world is the natural habitat of half-baked ideas, except for those fields in which there are decisive tests, such as science, mathematics, engineering, medicine; and athletics. In all these fields, in their differing ways, there comes a time when you must either put up or shut up. It should not be surprising that all of these fields are notable exceptions to the complete domination by the left on campuses across the country.

In the humanities, for example, the test of deconstructionism is not whether it can produce any tangible results but whether it remains in vogue. So long as it does, professors skilled in its verbal sleight-of-hand can expect to continue to receive six-figure salaries.

You might think that the collapse of communism throughout Eastern Europe would be considered a decisive failure for Marxism, but academic Marxists in America are utterly undaunted. Their paychecks and their tenure are unaffected. Their theories continue to flourish in the classrooms and their journals continue to litter the library shelves."

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it. Even countries that were once more prosperous than their neighbors have found themselves much poorer than their neighbors after just one generation of socialistic policies. Whether these neighboring countries were Ghana and the Ivory Coast or Burma and Thailand, it has been the same story around the world.

Discredited elsewhere, the nostrums of the left live on in public television. Nor is economic failure the worst of it. The millions slaughtered by Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot for political reasons are an even grimmer reality.

People who live and work in a world where there is a business bottom line, an athletic scoreboard, a military battlefield or life-and-death surgery may find it hard to fully appreciate the difference between that kind of world and one in which the only decisive test is whether your colleagues like what you are saying.

Academia is only one of the places where wholly subjective criteria rule; and where leftists predominate. Endowed institutions such as foundations and museums likewise often face no test other than what like-minded people find "exciting" and what enables those who run these institutions to get the heady feeling that they are "making a difference." The same is true of cultural institutions supported involuntarily by the taxpayers, such as the Smithsonian or the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities.

Taxpayer-supported "public" radio and television are similarly insulated from reality and similarly dominated by the left, not only in the United States but in other countries as well. All the nostrums of the left that have brought hunger to millions in countries which used to have surplus food to export, all the pretty words and ugly realities that have caused millions more to flee the lands of their birth, these nostrums live on in public television; much like old classic movies with familiar lines that the audience of aficionados can recite along with the characters on the screen.

These endowed and insulated institutions, often full of contempt for the values of American society and Western civilization, are not the only bastions of the left counter-culture. So are Hollywood and Broadway. Although show biz faces the financial need to get an audience, the truth of what they portray is hardly crucial. If they can make it punchy and sexy, then those who complain about historical inaccuracies and ideological bias can be dismissed as irrelevant pedants. Why are leftists able to crowd out other kinds of people from these places? Because those who are willing to subject themselves to the test of reality, whether as a businessman in the marketplace or as a surgeon in an operating room, have many other places in which to work and live. They do not need special sheltered niches in which to hide and to cherish their precious notions.

Darwinian adaptation to environment applies not only to nature but also to society. Just as you don't find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you don't find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.

Deficits were smaller under Obama/Biden when they handed the country over. Deficits have increased rapidly under trump.

Biden has a record, that's better than words. Trump said he'd eliminate the debt, he added to it drastically. Words mean little.

So no words where he says he'd spend less than Trump?

Biden saying he wants smaller deficits

"But even before the coronavirus crisis effectively froze the U.S. economy and sent unemployment skyrocketing, Trump's "irresponsible sugar-high tax cuts had already pushed us into a trillion-dollar deficit," Biden said. “I’m going to get rid of the bulk of Trump’s $2 trillion tax cut,” Biden continued, “and a lot of you may not like that but I’m going to close loopholes like capital gains and stepped-up basis.” - CNBC

Biden saying he would spend less

Ah, trying to rig the game before it starts. there are two sides to the books. Nice try.

He'd raise taxes but not spending? Link?
