That is not what I said but I wouldn't expect accuracy or honesty from you. When someone who actually knows something about Economics tries to argue with someone who doesn't that is the kind of nonsense one must expect.
Such comments are the reason your side doesn't convince anyone who has actually studied these issues and cannot be convinced by mere rhetorical rodomontades. It takes honest and careful analysis something your friends are singularly incapable of doing.
Alright then oh learned oracle of economics please explain just how are the great unwashed supposed to interpret the following statement from you in post # 662?:
If we exported much more the inflation rate would soon bring us back to the stagflation of the 70s.Oh and did you miss my question in post #647 to whit:
How may companies do you know of which have remained in business by NOT making any profits?
LOL! Anyone interested can go here and read (requires acrobat reader) an open letter to the President, the Congress, and the American people signed by 75 economists from across this land, whom "my side" has convinced, endorsing the Fairtax.
Of course I FULLY expect you to say that THESE folks don't known what they are talking about either!
