No, you didn't prove that wrong. That's a very simple and basic mathematical truth. What you showed is that Obama didn't lower the deficit, which is because he used stimulus (deficit) spending to help get us out of the Great Recession.

He just made up his mind that he was going to "debunk" me and then proceeded to lie his ass off and then claim victory.
When I hit him back with the indisputable truth, he took 1 quasi-weak claim out of the 2 dozen or so solid claims I had made and then just focused on that instead, as if my entire argument revolved around that 1 thing.
Total intellectual dishonesty.

It was a Hillary health thread. I brought up Hillary's personalized handicap van as proof that Hillary has physical health issues. And then I followed up by saying she has the van + an ambulance in her motorcade.
Falcon then said it's completely normal for these types of motorcades to have an ambulance and that therefore I had not provided any proof that Hillary has health issues, completely ignoring the part about the van.
And then a couple days later Hillary crumpled and collapsed and had to be hoisted into the van by her arm pits. Which as we know, was captured on cellphone video by a bystander.
You've got to be a colossal idiot and/or a shill to not be able to concede by now that Hillary has serious health issues.

That was a nice post on the last page and I agree with a lot of it. However, my response to some of the points is simply "co-relation does not imply causation."
Quote:
My point is that before we had big government we had economic prosperity. People who say, ‘oh it was only good for the elite! It was so terrible for everyone else!’ should note that the population grew in North America by over 600% in the 1800’s(3). The U.S. on its own saw a far more drastic explosion of population(4). According to the science of economics, the population grows along with the demand for labor in advanced economies with the division of labor. Immigrants were coming in, but the main contributor was an increase in birth rates(4). When people can afford it, they have children; when they can’t, they don’t. Before the institution of the welfare state, poor people raised less children, because they were incapable of financially supporting them. Children were a burden and made the lives of the poor unduly hard. The population grew in relation to production and shared economic prosperity. Child mortality rates were very high among the poor so the population explosion shows economic prosperity on all levels.
Africa has a pretty fast population growth rate, they must be real rich, right? Before the "welfare state" family sizes in the United States were much larger than today. Average # of children in 1800 was 7.0, in 1900: 3.5, [1] in 2000: 0.9 [2]. Children weren't financial burdens in 1800 but necessary sources of labor.
My real bone is with Quote:
My point is that before we had big government we had economic prosperity.
Our highest point of prosperity is undoubtedly somewhere in the 20th century, under or just following the rule of our large and near Fascist wartime gov't.
Pick a year "before big government, where we had economic prosperity" and I can name a list of other factors that are co-related to the prosperity and also may have a stronger case for causation.

medical wheelchair access van ≠ ambulance Once again, you prove how distorted your counterarguments are.
And Hillary had Pneumonia like Bill Clinton had a dry dick after that one time with Monica Lewinsky.
It's incredible that you actually still believe these liars and take their word at face value after all these years. Pneumonia may very well be one of the illnesses that Hillary has, just as it is with a lot of senior citizens who are rapidly approaching death's door.

+ 5 for you crumist. That's how you argue! Take note Falcon.
Quote:
Crumist said: That was a nice post on the last page and I agree with a lot of it. However, my response to some of the points is simply "co-relation does not imply causation."
It is very true that there are multiple factors in the treatment of every microeconomic aspect. They don't have to be mutually exclusive. For example, before the advent of modern medicine and the concomitant lowering of infant mortality, the co-relation of population growth to the growth in the demand for labor was much stronger. Adam Smith published "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" in 1776. In it he states that among the poor the infant mortality rates were incredibly high. 1 in 20 survived to reach adulthood. Infant mortality amongst the wealthy was much lower, because they were much more adept at taking care of their children.
Quote:
Quote:
My point is that before we had big government we had economic prosperity. People who say, ‘oh it was only good for the elite! It was so terrible for everyone else!’ should note that the population grew in North America by over 600% in the 1800’s(3). The U.S. on its own saw a far more drastic explosion of population(4).

Average # of children in 1800 was 7.0, in 1900: 3.5, [1] in 2000: 0.9 [2]. Children weren't financial burdens in 1800 but necessary sources of labor.
I think you made my point for me here when you said children weren't burdens in 1800, but sources of labor. If such was the case than clearly times were economically prosperous if each additional set of hands created ADDITIONAL wealth. That was my argument. The total purchasing power and demand of an economy doesn’t increase by simply pumping additional children into it, the fact that they were able to find work and create wealth for themselves show that the economic landscape was growing and favorable to the working class. The purchasing power was there and it wasn’t because of big gov’t redistributing the wealth.
And I was completely unaware that the population growth in the U.S. is so low currently. That really substantiates my point about the horrible economic conditions. It’s also to note that poor people in the U.S. are much more likely to have children(1), which is contradictory to economic theory, but consistent with the ‘welfare state’ population theory I’ve advanced. In fact a family making under $10,000/year is nearly twice as likely to have a child during any given year, as a family making over $75,000. If you don’t think welfare and subsidized housing have contributed to this economic anomaly than you are certainly free to do so. People are having children, and they can’t afford them, if it weren’t for the welfare state, they’d die or beg.

Certainly just because you can argue, and perhaps prove, causation other than limited government for things like the industrial revolution, doesn’t mean that limited gov’t didn’t give rise to those causations. The profit incentive is what drives ingenuity and innovation. If there is no reward on the other end, no one will accept the risks. If we aren’t allowing the market to tell us what is in demand, we end up producing what is not in demand.
