This is not a forum to discuss other members. If you would like to do that, I would suggest the Pub or OTD.
I'm sure they'd still listen to you there, right?

First of all, every one is equal. In the U.S.A. we have laws that will support that claim! In the U.S. our elected officials work for us, therefore are answerable to us. Only elitists think politicians are our superiors, as long as they are Democrats.

a large part of Clintons work was in deregulation, banking, mortgages, investments, insurance, etc... as I stated, it was clinton and clinton's policies

This is like trying to argue with Mussolini during his control of Italy, or the current Italian PM for that matter. Hard to argue with someone who can control and manipulate the flow of debate and propaganda with no checks or balances to stop abuse of those powers.

I don't recall making that claim. Could you point it out to me? The term was used correctly in this thread.

I was reminding you that the economy is not operating free of government and central bank shenanigans.
You were blaming a non-existent free market.
Don't worry. That is what some of the news muppets like to blame. It's just an example of sociological conditioning. Is a little bit of brain-washing kind of like monetizing a little bit of federal debt ?!? Don't be concerned until they bust out the iron and start working on the wrinkles...
If China (along with Russia and other nations) wasn't attempting to cobble together a new world reserve (fiat?) I would agree with you that it is not in China's best interest to dump T-bills...
(Sigh) Think in systems man.
When nations begin screwing around with tariffs and trade protectionism it is obvious that they have completely lost their minds and economic troubles are brewing. The Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act is a choice example of legislative insanity that precedes a global economic meltdown. Maybe if we study history we can stop the madness of repeating the same mistakes and expecting great results?
What is your definition of insanity?
Again, look at the lifespan of fiat. Fiat doesn't survive long even when (or is it perhaps because ) government has established a monopoly on legal tender!
Compare that to free market money, the value of which is going through the roof,in spite of the fact that courts won't enforce contracts with it!
I get that you aren't for "continuous deficit spending". What you don't "get" is that increased government spending DOES NOT CREATE REAL (MEANING LASTING) PROSPERITY!
Make an attempt, at least, to form a cogent argument that supports increased government spending during economic downturn.
You said you studied Austrian Business Cycle.... How can you not see that increased government spending will only create more inefficiency, economic distortion, and personal/corporate/union welfare?
Economics is about creating efficiency. Government is a "perfect" example of inefficiency. How does increased government spending create real prosperity?
Remember that it is the central bank and keynesian central economic planners that planned, pushed, and executed the bailouts.
You didn't hear the free market camp calling for bailouts dude.
You're pissed about this because you know you don't have a metaphorical leg to stand on.

If you want to know the real motivation behind my use of the word "niggardly" look at the rating the guy left me. I had used the term "coon ass" in reference to New Orleans Saints football fans, GTFO in particular whose real name is Emile, a rather Cajun name. Could be wrong but irrelevant. He used that to try to impute some racist motivation to myself. The term "coon ass" has nothing to do with Negroes. It is a sometime pejorative to refer to Cajuns. I say "sometime" because many Cajuns embrace the term. I didn't use it for racial effect. I used it for idiot effect. And got what I wanted, i.e. he exposed himself YET AGAIN. Priceless. If you don't like it, tough shit.

Maybe people who see racists everywhere do a lot of projection. They see racism because they are obsessed with race.
All this does not change that fact that you are a government cheerleader.

You complain about government taxing the shit out of you but don't have a problem with inflation?
Can you think of any good reason why government should have a monopoly on legal tender?

The alternative is a horror show and there is ZERO reason to believe that it will do anything to curtail inflation unless government borrowing and spending is curtailed.
Go ahead. Start printing your own scrip. Back it up with your own personal testicles. See if anybody will buy it. I, for one, wouldn't touch it.

You don't get it.
I am talking about getting rid of legal tender laws so people can write contracts and pay with whatever medium of exchange they want to use.
I am referring to P.M.s and anything else the market comes up with.
We all know that monopolies are bad for the economy. End the monopoly money scheme and we will see major economic corrections.
I don't advocate using paper money because it is far to easy to counterfeit (legally or not).
Monopolies of the money supply go back to the days of kings and emperors. It has historically caused economic disasters. When you look at the history of money you might begin to understand that monopoly money is an economically archaic idea that just needs to die.

Again, you are failing to understand that I don't support paper money because it is easy to counterfeit.
If people "lose faith" in government paper money they will look for alternatives.

your sardonic comments are quite obviously a result of an inability to counter any of his points.
why does the world continue attempts at fiat monetary systems when thousands of years of history show how the process ALWAYS ends. man's desire for power and control has lead him to take control over monetary systems for millenia, and it always ends in the death of the currency, and usually the spirit of the society/civilization as well.

Huh?!?
http://bullion.nwtmint.com/platinum_mapleleaf.php

Our Sell Price* Each 5 or more $1,437.50 *Price at which we sell to you. The minimum order is 5.
You really need to consider laying off the crack pipe dude.
If it was easy to counterfeit these coins, they would not be selling for 1437.50 U.S.D. each.
I guess 14 hundred dollars for an oz. of platinum isn't worth enough to you....
