the dot com bust didnt do damage because credit expansion continued due to the housing boom. There was never actually a drop in credit expansion growth.

You can't argue with this. Because you can't. It's an anecdote from 40 years ago. Impossible to refute whether it's true or not. I doubt tax evasion went down or went up significantly over the years. I see alot of tax evasion currently too.

1980-2012 is a debt ponzi. 1896-1932 is also a debt ponzi. If what you're syaing is true , Republicans create debt ponzis. But I think your trolling, you conveniently pick dates right before depressions, as if to say republicans cause depressions. 1940-1980 is the normal status quo = low credit...

this guy and many others for or against completely miss the obvious problem. It's right there it's just out of most peoples reach.

Taxing the rich is a great idea. The only problem is ALL the members of the congress are part of the 1%.

Why do we have levels anyway because it's "simpler". we have like, computers? Input your salary and out comes the taxes. we can have a perfect progressive system where earning 1% more does not make your taxes jump 10%.

Seems some people don't understand the free market. if student loans can be discharged, lenders will lend less, thus there will be less students, forcing the universities to lower tuition costs, when costs are lower, people can work during study instead of choosing to be a debt slave...

Loans are not the problem. The problem is the loans don't discharge in bankruptcy. Which means the loans are guaranteed yield by the government. Remember that from 2008? Guaranteed bailouts from the government, it's the same deal with student loans. If you sell a loan with 5% its basically risk...

I have the same thing. A system which profits 50% less on the dow compared to the es. very weird. on the other hands, every index is profitable.

You guys know nothing. There is absolutely no depression going on in the USA. If you think so you are stupid. In the Netherlands there is only 5% unemployment. Where's the depression? Also, do you guys even know the formal definition of a Depression? It needs a shrinkage of GDP by 10%. We...

Funny the group who invented class warfare rhetoric is not democrat. "They" also conveniently forget only "they" are successful in their class warfare. The ones who are losing to class warfare get blamed for class warfare, like the jews getting blamed for being nazi's. You can't make this...

This is why taxes on the rich have to be higher. I mean, If chinese millionaires want to go to USA, the USA is heaven for millionaires and taxation is probably not bad for the amount of freedom and protection millionaires get. So why not use the millionaires to bring in more taxes?
