Went there, didn’t see it. Did he explain why he was using stats when there are other ways of discrediting socialist Bernie?

In my profession, many clients of mine are homeowners and “professional, working poor,” unable to afford a small increase in expenses.

My insight is real. Your sarcasm, not so much.

I’m not familiar with Milton Friedman’s spoon story.

************************

“Oh, I thought you were trying to build a canal. If it's jobs you want, then you should give these workers spoons, not shovels. [Reply to the government bureaucrat of one Asian country who told him that, reason why there were workers with shovels instead of modern tractors and earth movers at a worksite of a new canal, was that: "You don't understand. This is a jobs program."]”

I was taught in College that 4% is “Full Employment”.

I must be older, as I was taught 3%.

With the legalization of marijuana, a new percentage is needed—perhaps 6% or (in increments) to 10%.

Screaming hysteric bile at people when they point out the errors in your argument is a Liberal thing. Using facts to refute errors is a Conservative thing. You seem to be on the wrong side.You clearnly a Lefty pretending to be a Conservative.

Your debate tactics here are right out of the Liberal playbook.

No your "insight" is a common logical fallacy.

You are assuming what you see in your life applies to the whole economy. It doesn't.

Fallacy of composition

The fallacy of composition arises when one infers that something is true of the whole from the fact that it is true of some part of the whole (or even of every proper part). For example: "This wheel is made of rubber, therefore the vehicle to which it is a part is also made of rubber." This is clearly fallacious, because vehicles are often made with a variety of parts, many of which may not be made of rubber.

Dude: I went to Wikipedia to look up hypocrisy AND THERE YOU WERE!!!!!!!

ROFLMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMAO ROFLMAO

BTW, you forgot your reference citation for your copy/paste in your other comment, which is clearly best-defined as confirmation bias, but we’re not having a conversation; clearly you’re the one having a conniption fit, ironically acting quite liberal.

When you figure out why you’re being hypocritical - for all here to see, of course - and your nads drop, come look me up again. Til then, buzz off Mr. Wiki.

If you are a Conservative start acting like one. Leave the emotional posturing for the Leftist and stick to logic and reason.

What’s the matter? couldn’t find anything to copy on Wiki?
