Your mistake above is that you are applying logic and facts to the matter. The stagflation in the 1970s and 1980s was due to high energy prices, too. This fact didn't save reality-based political economics from conversion to fantasy-based political economics, i.e., the libertarian economics that...

Of course, the reality-based economics explanation of why they were replaced by the fantasy-based political economics of the never before seen free-market economy has nothing to do with stagflation and everything to do with conservatives being co-opted by the American oligarchy to convert wages...

... we ditched reality-based economics in the 1980s in favor of libertarian, fantasy-based free market economics because reality-based economics couldn't handle stagflation. Now that fantasy-based, supply-side economics has caused the current stagflation what do we do? Go back to the...

Face met palm.

Your asserting race into the discussion risks another derailing and another split. (sarcasm emogee) Does anyone know why the like, quote, and reply targets don't appear when I am on my tablet, a Surface Pro 8? I am having to move to the tablet to use eye-tracking to input words into the...

And yet when we have had a relatively higher minimum wage and a much more unionized economy none of what you said happened. Wages were higher and profits were lower. This is what happens in the real economy where profits are what is left after the bills are paid, wages are what you negotiate and...

The biggest problem with Biden's action is that OPEC can wipe out its impact by announcing a million barrels reduction of their own production. They probably don't even have to reduce their production, just the announcement would keep the price of oil up.

So you believe that Biden is responsible for the worldwide rise in the price of oil even in countries that have energy policies that are more amicable to energy production than the US? This must require more mental gymnastics than I possess. Please elaborate.

I owned an oil well until October of last year. Wells can't pump all of the time. They are assigned an allocation of how much they can pump in the year. Yes, you can. You can raise the wages of the poor by raising the minimum wage, aggressively promoting unionization instead of aggressively...

Why do you think that the Federal government forgiving the loans would be a huge expense? Like all loans that banks make the money that is loaned out was money that the Federal Reserve Bank creates for the exact purpose of loaning out. All the Federal government has to do is to relieve the...

Republicans sold the 2017 legislation as tax cuts while raising income taxes on people paying higher property and state income taxes. I am sure that you missed this example of hypocrisy which mitigates the calls of hypocrisy in the SALT provisions of BBB. The truth is that any tax increases...

The irony of your mini~rant and the hypertensively of the pseudo-libertarian horde's fear of the federal government intrusion in their personal rights is that the main threat to their rights is from their main sponsors, the private corporations, worming their way into our private lives to...

Too many words and too much nuance for Jason and the conservatives who commented on the thread. Short and sweet and hit them hard when dealing with these people.

<<snip>> CRT is nothing more than the same conservative media tried to do with "woke" and "politically correct," to misrepresent the terms to avoid having to address their meaning. In the simplest terms, CRT is saying that our education system intentionally underplays the role of race and...

You are asserting that the very very presence of the Democrats in the demonstration is proof that they planned the entire event, not the Lincoln project, which has publicly said that they planned it. Your assertion is wildly improbable. If it turns out that two of the participants in the 1/6...

Presumably, the "sex" of a passport holder is in the passport to aid in the identification of the holder and is not meant as a biological imperative. The customs agent is not going to test the DNA of all of the persons entering the country nor are they going to check the genitals of everyone...

What a surprise, conservatives were disorganized. Four years of the Trump administration told us that.

Do you really think that anti-vaccers have the capacities needed to contribute to the economy in any meaningful way? Their single descriptive characteristic, that they consider vaccines to be ineffective or dangerous after being given to hundreds of millions of people say that they don't.

In a normal functioning economy, long-term growth is the population increase. A population increase of young adults out of school, starting to work, getting married and setting up households, buying cars, buying homes, etc. We have seen this many times in the US economy in the past; the post...

Pretty much.
