Oh boy... First, the internet was mostly developed and paid for outside government as the original wasn't useful for the larger role. Second, the original internet was not an economic investment, it was a scientific-military one. Third, it took 30 years to come to fruition. Fourth, WPA didn't...

There will always be abuse and fraud in ANY society as long as human DNA stays like it is. The question is, what type of economics has the most prosperity for the most people with the workload distributed in a moral fashion.

Is WPA still around? I didn't know that was a long term success story. Why do you think gov't is so smart right after we got Solyndra'd? Here is the type of waste you are advocating <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/b8opYArPtPI" frameborder="0"...

Story rewind: Conservative versus liberal. We see the liberal side, give the money to the least productive citizen, Kofi. Others like Robert and Sylvie supposedly do all the work hoping for Kofi's gov't money while Kofi gets to sit around doing nothing. Robert still has no harvest money and...

Robert can simply fire his employes when times go bad, the problem for Robert is that he has money tied into rapidly depreciating assets. Doctor's offices don't, nor does someone who owns a massage therapy business with employees.

but I said that Kofi would harvest for a cut of the carrots, in keeping with the analogy.

I just counter your original rudeness with rudeness, however the difference is that I make actual arguments here and there. If you don't like insult then don't give it.

I have worked on a farm, and if it comes down to losing the crop or at least getting it harvested for the chance you can dump it for some small price, one will always take the latter. You didn't answer the problem that if you give Kofi money then Robert still has no income to pay for...

you picked another perishable item in your typical dishonest way. Medical care is not perishable and doesn't fit the simple model, neither does financial services, or coding... the economics is different. A massage therapist can simply do something else until demand comes back for that...

Are you kidding me? you actually think that the economics of a perishable item is the same as the economics of information and services? You have have absolutely no business talking about economics, go back to your favorite topic- bashing christians

I just said, it will cost him nothing to have Kofi harvest and take a few to eat before they rot. It's simple and free risk reduction in case customers suddenly get money. In which event Robert would STILL not have harvest cash as he would ALSO still have no income according to your story. You...

To say there is a right side and a wrong side of history is really kind of stupid, there is only history. let's see in the last 100 years conservatives have changed the course on the following with generally agreed on good results... 1. 70's Inflation 2. Vietnam 3. The Soviet Union...

They don't last in the ground forever, geez how hard is that to understand?

bad story considering that most of the american economy is services and information. the problem isn't that there are crops in the ground, the problem is that there are structural changes in the economy itself Obama is trying to create artificial demand again in housing by pressuring banks...

If Kofi got hungry enough, he'd offer to pick carrots in exchange to eat a few. Hand him gov't money, he still is a bum.

and we are told all cultures are equal according to the Diversity gospel. Even some blacks think black culture sucks, Bill Cosby used to tell auditoriums full of black people that they were bad parents. Hillary and Michelle say we need to spend more on these hopeless folks or we are mean. New...

disagree. for one thing the status quo right now is terrible, secondly all kinds of new market based experiments are due to conservatives such as school vouchers which are liked by inner city people

You make the failed assumption that government actually knows what to spend on and isn't doing it. If economic were as simple as you make it to be then all the past failed attempts would never have been The end of the liberal rainbow, government can make it all work, just a little more money.....

You do know 'progessive' lincoln wanted to deport freed slaves, right? the minimum wage is a feel good sham, if it really worked then we would simply raise it to $50/hour contextual changes and revisionism are rampant, I could make a liberal list but why bother following a cut and paste

How come nobody thinks that black runners being faster is racist? To be consistent you must think that, or are you in hiding? Black smarts, genetic or environmental? I think some of both, several studies show black kids raised in white households lag as well. After we wasted 40 years and...
