Like I said, you're not much of a Georgian.

No, I'm not. I'm a New Yorker who happens to live in Georgia right now.

[ninenot]

Yeah; GU. Remember, you were the star pupil in the Econ undergrad courses--or was it MS or PhD?

[Lazamataz]

That could also be a chinaman. I just can't quite tell.

[Texas_Dawg]

Nice picture. That's me!

[Texas_Dawg]

No, I'm not. I'm a New Yorker who happens to live in Georgia right now.

No kidding.

I am surprised they even carried college football games in Bejing. Did you have a satellite dish or something?

[ninenot]

Well--the fellow who sold the Company in question is a Well-Connected Washington DC type. Help any?

[AdamSelene235]

Though the word "economy" is not in the Constitution, the public expects the president to be "manager of the economy."

No, only fascists like FDR find this desirable. The government should stay as far away from the economy as possible. Of course, you can't there from here.

[Lazamataz]

I ask again, what you do for living? Where in management chain you live?

Zdrastvuitchya, druug! Vui zdyes. Harasho!

[hedgetrimmer]

Actually since the loss of jobs in the USA is directly attributable to the implementation of the Uruguay Round tariff principles which are an openly admitted transfer of wealth program from teh Rich nation(s) to the poorer nations and since the USA s "the richest" under this scheme it is working as designed.

Thanks for stating this. People need to know where the ideology of "free trade" is coming from. The "free traders" who post to this forum like to call everyone else socialists, but the system they defend so vociferously is Socialism with a big S.

[ninenot]

Well, from only 30 years ago, I still remember both the "vui" and the "harasho" (ain't that like khorosho?)

[Lazamataz]

"No, I'm not. I'm a New Yorker who happens to live in Georgia right now."

No kidding.

Gosh, the other day all you had were disparaging terms about JoeJahns. "Cletus", "KKK ralliests"... heck, one of your comments even needed to be cleansed by the Admin Moderator.

Make up your uneducated mind.

[Lazamataz]

I said "Hello, pal! You're here! Great!"

A college can fire a professor for CAUSE. Tenure means the right to hire a lawyer to fight a dismissal.

[dogbyte12]

Tis true. Dawg waas calling everybody a redneck, KKK, type. A true son of the south knows things in the south are more complicated than simple stereotypes. For all I know, he is actually busy answering calls at a center in Bangalore, and he Freeps to keep himself awake.

Isn't it ironic that people are so polarized by ideology they fail to see the direct results of actions?

These threads are always interesting because you get two polarized camps; one camp of "Free Trade at all costs" (who hasn't ever taken a finance/econ class to know what 'balance of payments' is) -- and the other camp who is seeing reality staring them in the face and looking down the road at the repurcussions.

The ideologues seem to take lessons from the DNC playbook and scream insults whereas the reality camp starts out trying to have a meaningful debate, then ends up debased into returning fire.

Weird.

The horse is out of the barn!
Pat was right years ago. I worked for him in 1992. Back then he could see it's suicidal to deport American jobs and import masses of uneducated illegal alien 3rd worlders. To run up huge trade deficits. Did uou see that copy and paste post with Walter Williams "explaining" how trade deficits really don't matter? How can anyone with an ounce of common sense fall for such shuck and jive? And from a well known, big mouth university professor no less. HALLELUJA!!!

[harpseal]

Clearly it is Socialism and those of us who believe in the principles ennuciated by Adam Smith and David Riccardo hagve a real problem with the current trade envirornment.
