But i'm still trying to understand what is the connection between the true conservatives of yesterday, i.e., the classical liberals, and today's Republicans who are what Chomsky calls radical stateists. It appears to me that today's Republican party is as far removed from classical liberalism...

I still don't think I gave you an answer nearly as good as your question in post #20 above. I'll keep working on it. I want to call your attention to another post regarding MMT and government debt that I hope you'll find interesting food for thought. It is post #10 in the Politics Forum...

The thinking of many economists begs to be updated to a post 1971 reality. There is theory behind Krugman's remarks, its called Modern Money Theory (MMT) and it is very well developed by now. Krugman himself has been a critic of MMT in the past; yet he seems to have come to many of the same...

If you like where you're at, chances are good you will like where you are going, and vice versa..

Yes, that that is my understanding too. I suppose it boils down to advertising jargon, i.e., just how direct is "direct".

The post Civil War decision of the Court in the ex parte case of Garland in 1865, as viewed in hindsight, seems today a largely correct decision. But had the 1865 court been able to anticipate a Nixon, or especially a Trump, they might have modified their ruling, without injustice to Garland...

It is my understanding that there is no longer any such thing as direct to exchange if a third party is involved. The SEC requires that all orders be screened on the way to the exchange. Am I wrong?

Trump can sue Mueller from prison. He can borrow the law books he'll need from the local library.:D

All the amazing similarities between Trump's Demagoguery and Hitler's, their lying, manipulation of the media and white supremacy bullshit, is about to get even more amazing: Hitler served time in prison and Trump is on his way.

I wouldn't be concerned for Robert Mueller. This isn't his first Rodeo, On the other hand, Trump is probably peeing in his pants wondering what the next shoe to drop will be. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/heres-comey-mueller-christopher-steele-connected-fifa-world-cup-russia/...

This is not a new right. Why is it even a question? The existence of new technology that presents new opportunities to invade your privacy is no reason you should lose an existing right.

Oh. there is the difference. The point where you go horribly wrong in your thinking. I have no time to go into it now . but I will return to this. I'll just tantalize by saying that you've only got half of science when you write, "I consider science the observation of persistent phenomena."...

You may force me no to conclude that I was wrong. Both halves of you are insane.

Over the course of time , down through the few hundred thousands of years hominids have walked the face of the Earth, many explanations, metaphysical and physical, must have been set forth, the vast majority having been lost to time because they were demonstrably wrong. A few were so...

They have good reason to be concerned. Trump is a con artist. He has a serious mental issue. He has had to pay hush money to several women, and one of his ex wives accused him of rape. He had to pay 25 million in compensation for defrauding those who enrolled in Trump University. He's a...

I agree, and although the "Trump Wall" will have, as you say, little impact on the problem of refugees coming across our border, it could have a negative impact in terms of our relations with our neighbors that could be quite costly in the end. There are far better long range solutions to the...

These folks must be stopped as they have been under both the Obama administration and the Trump administration. Little difference there. A huge difference , however, between how they were processed and how expeditiously they were returned to their countries of origin and what is happening now...

Yes. And it is willful on your part. Meanwhile I, and others like me, will continue to read your posts -- or at least many of them. We will not be ignorant of your point of view. And I suppose therein lies a chief difference between you, and those of like mind to your own, and myself and...

I can answer your question now. Previous administrations did follow my advice, and by doing so greatly reduce the number of refugees coming across the border. I just heard Jeh Johnson speak on this, and he also said precisely what I said, almost using the exact same words. Sometimes the...

I think you are an economist, and you must be a good one, because I have trouble understanding what you write. Barro must be an extremely good economist, because I can understand nary a word of what he writes.
