Cut your cutting

Laguna, I'd love to transfer your views to my bloggy.

As long as you don't make them part of a huge *CONSPIRACY!!!!11!1!!*, sure. lol

Games that have an economy should hire finance professionals as advisors to the programmers. That way maybe the programmers would learn how to create a realistic economy. This one isn't working.


Anyway, economics is not a science because it lacks a controlled environment.

In particular, Keynesianism is a lot of left-wing opinions based on flimsy data.

I just found this... I have to leave for work... you KNOW I'll be back for this one

Oh... and I love you Wendy

If you are going to drag your name through the mud like Vicious, you are better off not doing so.

Solomon. Whazzup! Great to have you back. At least we can have some good old fashioned forum discussions now

We luuv you too Solomon.

The federal government does NOT build bridges. State governments do<!-/Quote-!>

Actually the bridges here in Michigan on the FEDERAL ROADS were built and are currently being replaced with FEDERAL money. There are many.

The state roads are a scam... This brings me to my first point. I have never seen any economic model include the one thing that is probably the most destructive... corruption.

This is how it works in Michigan. First we have pretty tough winters which means that the ground feezes up to 42 inches deep(more than a meter). They refuse to build the foundation of any of the roads below the frost line which would cure the problem of the roads heaving every year destroying them. This is by design. If there is always money being allocated for the roads and it goes through my greedy paws I don't want it to stop. Actually I'll spend some to lobby to make sure it doesn't. That's what the construction companies do.

See? there's that corruption thing they never account for. How many connected greedy paws does that money really go through? (and yes men conspire all the time).

Now for the good stuff.

America and her economy... Hmm It is important to realize that the game has changed since 9/11. Americans have and are waking up.

1. Rinse your brain of the soap suds that are telling you that America is a democracy. That's what they've been preaching for a very long time now because a democracy is easy to manipulate, control and CHANGE. America is a REPUBLIC which means, unlike a democracy where 51% of the people can deny the other 49% their rights, 99% of the people are not allowed to deny even 1% of the people their rights. THAT'S America.

2. The things being done in this country. These are not things nations do to themselves. Think about it... Jack the corp taxes so high that the corps bankrupt or leave the country? That brings me a reply about bailing out failing companies, why do you think they are failing?!

What else DON'T nations do to themselves? Oh yeah, destroy their own currency.

I'm just going to end this post here, we are so unbelievably f***ed it's... stellar. Even if we knocked the evil Brittish off of us we're still screwed, (oh and yes it's the Brittish again, always the evil Britts... Think not?) ask your self why the FEDERAL reserve (bank) is not an institution of the American government! NO, no, no, it's a PRIVATE banking consortium. A parasite destroying it's host actually. Only named that way to masqurade as a department of the American government. Then ask your self why the Bank of England is a major player in it. Oh! and here's the icing on the cake! Even if we kicked the Federal Reserve out, and dump the dollar and reestablished a new currency (which is what needs to be done to fix this) WE CAN'T! Why? Know the gold we would use to back a new currency? The stuff that is SUPOSE TO BE in Ft. Knox Kentucky? GONE!! Yup, moved offshore and is now collateral on the national debt.

...and how about 1812? how did WE win? Here's what happened... England kicks France's ass and Napoleon looses @ Waterloo, England is now unchallenged in Europe. What happens next? USA gets invaded... we lost Detroit, DC... Wait WE won? really? When did we take Detroit back? Oh that's right those fine folks thought we should have the wealth, that's right and we're friends.

It's simply a lie. They won and they wrote the history.

I know this pisses off the English folks but so be it. (...think we aren't pissed?!)

Truth being told it's ALL a sham. Republicans and Democrats aren't really opposed to each other. They are New World Order global eugenic fascists like their owners (the britts lol). The globalists are crashing the currencies on purpose, a crisis so that the NWO can swoop in and save your day. The wars we are involved in now and soon to start are to force all remaining non NWO countries into the order. USA is the Queen's powerslave and assets are being traded to get big players like China on board.

(OH! The Royals are just a figure heads! We have parliment, StUpId!) Really? Really? I guess nobody's going to want to hold them responsable then... damn what a plan! Can't say they aren't 'brilliant'. That's English for smart.

It's not just Germany and friends this time folks... this time it's global and my country was consumed by it long ago.

Some shocking ignorance in that post...it's always easy to tell when someone is spewing BS when they point to corporate tax rates as an actual issue. Corporations don't pay the actual corporate tax rates, it's pretty clear if you ever bother to look at a financial statement. As far as corporations going bankrupt or leaving the country, first, we have an economy and political system under almost complete corporate control...and the corporations that know how to use this are doing quite well. Second, corporations leave the U.S. not because of tax rates but because of labor costs...taxes are easy to avoid through accounting tricks and money/profit transfers...labor, not so much.

As if that's not by the same design? Wage inflation is a tool. Who claimed they were using only one tool?

Insults... shows you're weak in your position and you know it... just FYI

here try this out:

This game's been going a long time

...and I take more issue with that, what business especially small business do you know of that doesn't file quarterly? Please don't say 'church' lol

Company I work for gets raked over the coals

Uncle bought locksmith business 10 years ago gets raked over the coals, still.

Yes the little one is quite hostile, quick to point a finger and throw insults but hasn't stopped for two seconds to make sure his head isn't still securely up he's own arse!

Solomon, I think you know all this is one big

CONSPIRACY!!!!

I like the part of the speech where Robert Welch says:


"Ask yourselves in all honesty, what on Earth is wrong with the United States simply minding it's own business or with having it's foreign police function primarily for the safty and benefit of the American people? Which is exactly what we had done for the first 140 years of our existance as a nation to the incredible advantage of ourselves and everybody else. Everybody that is except a numerically small clique of power lusting conspirators who have somehow inflicted themselves on a gullable world."

Did any of you know that government officials can use money we voters "approved" for roads for other more "important" things like politician wages? I remember voting yes on measure O which was the pot hole tax...ie to fix potholes and improve our roads and the last time I checked the money it has raised has gone to the "much needed" local politician salaries.........from now on I'm just voting no on any increased taxes.

"Foreign Police"... lol aint that the truth Froydian slip! *Policy

Like the lottery money supporting schools?

Instead of hijacking my thread, you could have started your own... but whatever.

LG I think with the Republicans taking over our government there will be no cutting of our cutting. The end of stimulus and the dumbing down of America is upon us!

Wasting hundreds of billions of dollars is harmful to a nation's economy, no matter under what banner it is perpetrated. Keynes didn't advocate pisspoor allocation of resources, did he?

I like almonds. They are particularly tasty.

I don't think there is much more to say about the general ignorance of people who believe that "Spending money is the key to becoming Debt Free."

When I get broke, I stop buying things I don't need, try to find areas in my bank statement that can be reduced. Things get must get paid, get paid. The rest gets put off.

The same should be true for a government who was created to exist for few, very limited purposes (protect American's rights, deliver our mail).

Instead, we pay for hundreds of military bases in hundreds of countries, pay for millions of lazy folk in the hood who don't work because they can just get a "check." Instead we pay millions and bazillions on government bureaucracy programs which are failing (Dept of Education, social security) etc etc..

Not much in the mood to get into numbers tonight, but they are irrelevant anyways. The point is, Republicans and Democrats alike have succeeded in brainwashing the country and some of the world that IT (the strong central government) is doing its job right, one way or another...While failing at everything else.

While everyone else is trying to buy things with money they don't have when they hit a bind, I'm going to keep doing things the way I have, since it actually works...

BTW being broke is something I am seeing less and less of, even in a struggling economy. Imagine that...

You must live in a nice upper middle class neighborhood.

I'm sorry about that Laguna. Sometimes I get carried away. :/
