Your post indicates that you believe in big govt. intervention and tax ‘n spend leftist policies.
Arguing free markets and trade with a big govt. socialist may not be worth the effort :)
I guess you are one of those who thinks that Obama’s spending is too little!!
“But what was the war but one huge spending spree and governmental jobs program?”
This is the fallacy that FDR big govt fans use as their favorite talking point. Read Thomas Woods’ article from earlier today.
My post indicates nothing of the sort...it’s not ideological in nature but factual. Spending did get us out of the first depression, but we are in a worse situation now as our manufacturing base has been decimated...also there is no free market...it’s rigged for the employment sector...(import cheap labor) and the financial geniuses have invented fake insurance (CDS) to eliminate risk...this is not free market. You know why the bond holders won’t come to the table in the GM situation? They have credit default swaps for the failure of GM and will be paid 100% on the dollar if GM fails by AIG...using taxpayer money of course...nothing free market about this mess. You just don’t get it...the free market if it was practiced as intended would be a good thing...what we have here is an attempt by the financials to rig the free market for financial gain...not capitalism at all.
