Woot

Post by Barotix »

Bailout proposal failed in "phase one." Everyone (even if you're below voting age) call your senators and convince them to vote against the bailout. The Senate votes on Wednesday. If you're incapable of arguing against the bailout here are some basic arguments you can raise. For those of you unfamiliar with Austrian economics, or if you favor Keynes' flawed theory you can educate yourself here. If you don't know your senator's contact information it can be found here. Our voice stopped it from being passed in the House; let's make sure the senate doesn't screw the American people over.

Liberty&Justice for all.

I thought one of the fundamental concepts of economics is that it will regulate and repair itself over time; interference with the economy only leads to artificial and short-run effects?

it will of course autorepair itself, but it's a matter of when? 30 years of depression and then World War III to bring us out of a depression. besides the United States has unlimited money :love: if they run out they can always tax and borrow more from China. the us gov can never be bankrupt

The plan is farfetched anyway:

Money doesn't appear oout of thin air and regardless of wether it is accepted or not, there will be a recession.

By accepting that, they will only delay a turn of the economic situation and recieve an even bigger payload on the mountain of debts.

This picture was adequate in many ways

Apparently you have down syndrome. Like Pan Raider said, the plan involves adding an extra domino to the line, delaying the business cycle. The problem I have with this, is that this one domino is costing 700,000,000,000 dollars.

that is one school of thought but the invisible hand isn't enough sometimes. This however is not one of those times. Im starting to think this whole thing was a conspiracy by the big 3 banks to get rid of the competition and reorganize consuming as much money as possible....its not that far-fetch when you think about it!

:? Keynesian is just one school of many. With the way you were blabbering on about needing regulations and having unlimited cash you made yourself out to be a follower of Keynes. So I asked you which school of economics are you following.

... talking about ignorant, you are arrogant.


And i am american/german, yeah,
but i definitely wouldn't vote a person like bush, i am liberal.
come and talk about politics.. yeah right

I might be young, but there damn sure are some people who understand simple things without adding a huge equation as a tag:

NOTHING COMES FOR FREE, the US government might be up to something, but NOTHING COMES FOR free.
You just go and borrow some chinese money like you said and ask if its for free.. -_-

dynamics means many single processes feul one large one: the business situation, and the economy is always growing, but it doesn't grow the same speed the whole time,

you can influence it by subventions, goervernment paychecks or new production branches(innovations)

But influencing it doesn't stop the endless period of a cycle:

Expansion, Booooom, Recession, Depression

All these parts form the curve in the economy line, which is constantly rising.

If there is a depression (like 1929) it recedes and if there is a new innvation, it expands(90's the PC'sstarted).










There is loads more to it, I know
but simply stamping the "ignorant sign on our heads won't bring anyone further...

exactly, saying let fix itself is a rather ignorant comment when the truth of the matter is that it should all be regulated til some extent so that stupid people dont do stupid stuff


oh and the US can go bankrupt ...........they just have to screw up big time, which is possible thanks to our highly qualified pack but i would like to think the less retarded people will take over by that point
