because this is the notion of keynsian economics that leftists have adopted, if they raise the minimum wage to 20/hour, and the effect is negative, they will say we should have spent more, they honestly believe that they can find the magic number, and it'll be magical, lol.



Keynesian economics is the standard economic theory at all leading universities because it's been empirically proven valid.

And you just made up another straw man argument about what Keynesians believe.  WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP THE STRAW MAN ARGUMENTS?  Stop telling us what you like to pretend we believe.  You're about 0 for 105 on your fantasy beliefs of what the other side thinks.

No, they won't ALWAYS say that.  :facepalm3:

CAN YOU PLEASE STOP MAKING UP STRAW MAN ARGUMENTS?!?!?

Krugman, who won a Nobel prize in economics, very clearly explains why it wasn't enough.  If you want to debate the specifics of his article, feel free to do so.

I can't believe how deep in fantasy land you are.  :tongue:

And Obama won a Nobel peace prize... Your point that krugman won a popularity contest among a bunch of socialists really doesn't affirm his positions, except if you're a crazy liberal:crazy2:

I'll agree the Nobel Peace Prize is meaningless.  But you have to be pretty damn smart to win it in Economics, and pretty damn stupid to believe that one is meaningless.

Depends on how the money is spent, again why doesn't Greece, India, Africa, and every other struggling economy just spend their way into economic prosperity? It's not that simple.

Haha, I kick your ass in debate over and over. I'm MUCH smarter than you are. I notice MUCH more than you do about this forum, and about the world in general.

You're really bad at critical thinking and thinking for yourself, as you've shown.

Could have something to do with your genetics though.

I've brought this point up many times to him, he doesn't care, or is so willfully ignorant, he refused to see the facts for what they are, everyone with a 3rd grade education knows that throwing money at problems doesn't fix them, hell, just look at the welfare state, 20 TRILLION dollars later, the poor are just as poor, good job war on poverty!

Because they can't take on all that debt.  Once a recovery is done, the debt is supposed to be paid down.

We didn't spend $20 trillion to fix poverty.  :facepalm3:

If we did, poverty would be a thing of the past.  We spent the money on foreign wars and corporate welfare.

No, we don’t spend $1 trillion on welfare each year

That comes from a conservative source, which you should know by now usually means deception.  Your second graph is far more accurate.  Where's that $1 trillion in your second graph?!?  Hey look, it's not there!  :smirk:

In fact, it would only cost $175 billion to eliminate poverty in the US.

Uhh the two graphs just allocate the "welfare" spending in different categories. Take a look again, ad-hominem boy.

You're having a really hard time comprehending this stuff, maybe it's because you're a liberal but maybe it's because of your genetics.

if that were indeed true, wouldn't that prove that the democrats really have no interest in eliminating poverty? they could have done it years ago and haven't, why not? could it be because democrats rely on poverty to secure their power?
