Trump Imitates Chinese Communist Party

The purpose of the government isn't to make the economy work perfectly. You're thinking of marxism. In a free society, how well the economy works is up to "we the people", not the government.

Again you can't give another system that would work.

I realize it's super hard for statists to understand this, but we don't need a government "system" to solve our problems. Government is there to protect our rights, not to tell us how to live. Or trade, or work, or eat or do healthcare or whatever it is you want to control next.

Again not answering the question of if you get rid of a standardized currency for a given country, what replaces it.

I don't need to answer it. And neither does the government. You seem to missing the point. Or rather, widely steering around it.

Dude, that ain't nothing. Taking over DC. Threatening to "nationalize" Harvard's patents. Removing books from the Naval Academies library.

Another liberal who doesn't realize those books deserved to be banned.

Both are abuses of government power.

Pleasant Peasant

But the Dead Right has nothing against abuses of plutocratic power, which is mostly from unearned inheritance that stifles the opportunities of the other birth-classes. They create the thorn-filled ladder for class-climbing, too.

So there would have been no economic collapse from the sudden loss of a few trillion dollars of equity and the corresponding impacts on the credit market?

Finding the Pirates' Sunken Treasure

Confiscating the entire wealth of the irresponsible executives would have gained enough money to get the economy moving again. Without losing all they stole, their ilk will wash, rinse, and repeat.

What's the replacement in your mind for the fed?

Just saying "get rid of it" without a viable alternative isn't doing much.

In College, the Student Lives Like a Child. So He Graduates with the Attitude of a Child.

Get rid of the academically brain-damaged economists running it. They flit between smug and ignorant optimism and gloom-and-doom pessimism. No rational realism from all our FedHeads.

You're describing NPR/PBS, in newspaper form.

I could only hope. Award winning journalism. Respected worldwide. You bet.

And then every time a reporter says something the current administration doesn't want to hear, or won't say something the current administration demands that they say, they're subject to being fired, de-funded or worse. You know, like we're seeing now.

Only by petulant orange blobs who get elected.

No thanks. Socialism isn't compatible with free society.

Thanks for your opinion

But they do get elected, don't they?

Thanks for your opinion

You're welcome.

Well, our record isn't good as of late.

This what I just don't get about those of you who want to socialize everything under the sun. You're basically putting yourself at the mercy of the next asshat who gets elected. Why do you want that???

We’re at a low point in American history.

You tossing around that term is a sign of just how far we’ve regressed.

What "term" am I tossing around? "asshat"?
