I was open minded, in the sense that I had no strong opinion either way, from the time I graduated to this most recent recession. The data is clear, this one is a demand side shock, it's not structural, it's not supply.Quote from Tsing Tao:
Your smarmy response was so predictable. Tell me this. Was there ever a time when you thought spending, debt and the Keynesian philosophy was dead wrong, and then - upon learning more, converted to a full blown Krugman-ite?
Because the opposite is true for me. I was open minded enough to see the other side and it converted me. What about you?

problem is even if I quit I still end up paying for the parasites anyway. IRA is taxable income when I take it out. big brother won't let you go GALTQuote from Scataphagos:
We know why people voted for Odumbo... because they are ignorant, greedy parasites... couched in whatever words they choose.
America is now permanently divided between (a) greedy parasites who want some/all of what others have but are unwilling to work for success, and (b) "parasite hosts/victims" who are expected to provide the juice for what the parasites demand.
Personally, I hope all of the rich and accomplished Americans either STOP DOING BUSINESS ALTOGETHER WHILE LAYING OFF ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES... OR PACK UP AND LEAVE AMERICA... leaving the parasites with "no blood to suck". (The way things stand now, we'll end up there regardless. I'd just rather it happen quickly, in dramatic fashion.. so that the Leftists finally wake up to what they have done and supported.)

The real issue here is that you're just as cocksure about your opinions as I am of mine, and you're just as energetically motivated to demonstrate to me that you're actually correct, just as I am to demonstrate that to you.Quote from Tsing Tao:
What data? Insofar as I am aware, every discussion I've ever had on your data you have either stopped responding to or have dodged. Every single one. Did I miss a particularly salient point you made on spending somewhere?
