    We Have a Spending Problem

    Austerity doesn't work. Have we not learned a thing from Europe? We don't spend enough as it is because our citizens don't have much savings. There is no government debt/deficit as everyone has their treasuries which are a form of money. Bill Hicks knew this 25 years ago.

    If obese kids can't play basketball or be a cheerleader how are they going to lose the weight you want them to lose?

    Is it Fair Play to Hold the Debt Ceiling Hostage?

    Yeah that is pretty much what is happening. Hard to believe more are not upset with this. If they get their way this time you can bet they will try it again. The Tea Party is the American Taliban.

    One man's ObamaCare nightmare[W:51]

    Chickens lay eggs. Bunnies hide eggs. Are bunnies stealing eggs from chickens and hiding them? Are chickens aware of this? Who's defending the rights of the chickens?!

    Hey keep your fancy facts to yourself, we would sooner drag each other down with our crab mentality!

    Creating money: Explain this to me like I'm 5 years old.

    Here is how Rodger Mitchell explains it. He created his own offshoot of MMT which he calls Monetary Sovereignty but his views on QE echo those of MMT. –How the Fed’s “Quantitative Easing” was designed to trick you into demanding your own economic suicide «#Monetary Sovereignty - Mitchell...

    Why all the focus on a Federal debt?

    What I find odd is that no one ever questions how we are able to do this year after year after year after..... We run deficits 90-95% of years and sometimes like during WW2 we actually spent 3x revenues. And the few times we do balance our budget it is always followed by a recession or...

    This is why we need to raise taxes, there is simply nothing we can cut.

    Greece is a currency user not a currency issuer like the US, Japan, and GB. This is why rates on Greece government bonds are high while rates on the currency issuer governments are near record lows. The video I linked to explained this, perhaps you should watch it?

    This is why we need to raise taxes, there is simply nothing we can cut.

    Well I blame the Tea Party for setting us on this "we are broke and must lower the deficit NOW, NOW, NOW!" path. It's impossible for a currency issuer like the US to go broke. You are just led into believing this so that your social benefits can be cut and you won’t say anything, or your taxes...

    Can America Ever Pay off The National Debt?

    People should love the debt, it is money in your pocket. If you support decreasing the debt it is money out of your pocket.

    The false meme that deficit spending prolonged the Great Depression

    Bush may have very well had his own stimulus, we will never know. The stimulus was indeed crony capitalism but I believe it kept us from Great Depression 2.0. Instead of the stimulus I would have preferred sending out a credit card to everyone on their birthdays loaded with $10,000 and did...

    The false meme that deficit spending prolonged the Great Depression

    It was by all accounts and purposes FDR's budget in 1933-34. Do you guys on the right also blame Bush for Obama's stimulus package spending in 2009?

    The false meme that deficit spending prolonged the Great Depression

    Looking at the data I really can't see how anyone can honestly say the New Deal made the Great Depression worse. What really scares me is I'm afraid we have learned nothing and may repeat the mistake of 1937. Save us from the Herbert Hoovers and the balanced budgets nonsense once and for all...
