That's something we can agree on.

The fact is our economy is not healthy or improved when we are this far behind on debt.

For the third time--I'm concerned about the debt. I just have no illusions about monetary policy and its efficacy to improve the economy. You can't pay down the debt in a dead economy.

The only stupidity is your own if you think this is an improvement. http://www.usdebtclock.org/ You lack any sort of sense.

Come on, Cam. I don't need to explain the difference between monetary and fiscal policy again, do I?

That's not even Econ 101, I'm pretty sure most people are born with an innate understanding of the distinction. I've already told you before how I'm concerned about the debt.

The debt has only begun a continuous increase since 2000, by the way. Or, if you really don't want to count Clinton, 1980.

Your graph is irrelevant and solidifies your lack of understanding here.

How is nominal income not relevant to the economy? It's essentially a measure of aggregate demand.

The thing is, they should have known what they were getting in.

^this

It's the same with Charlie Hebdo. They should've expected to be brutally murdered for printing cartoons.

The evidence is on my side, as the debt increased exponentially during that time and prices of goods and services skyrocketed.

No. . . No they didn't. The size of the debt fluctuated and inflation averaged around 2pc for the entire period, and nominal income was pretty much exactly on trend. Monetary policy during the 23-year Moderation was as close to perfect as you're likely to get.

Among many reasons, such as completely incompetent policies and criminal wars.

That has nothing to do with monetary tightening.

The fact the size changed so dramatically proves there was a problem.

Except the administration averaged something like a stead 3.5-4pc annual growth rate. . . That's not dramatic.

The fact that there had to be "easing" proves the system wasn't reliable.

No, it proves there was a prior tightening which necessitates the easing. It has nothing to do with any sort of inherent unreliability of fiat currency which--as I've demonstrated in the OP--is more reliable than a gold standard anyway.

The "solution" you propose doesn't work

Well it does, because it worked during the Clinton administration, it worked throughout the entirety of the Great Moderation and it has been working--although in a stunted manner--in response to the current Recession.

We're just delaying the inevitable.

Again, more fearmongering. We've talking before about how Clinton managed to control the size of the debt relative to the economy.

Sorry, but I have common sense on my side.

Unfortunately for you, however, you don't have the economics on your side.

And the economics, funnily enough, strikes me as more authoritative than your conception of common sense.

At least when I call you naive I'm being honest and not lying like you.

( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°).

Innovation is irrelevant to the economy.

There's no way you're that ignorant. This is where the conversation ends.

The only obsession is your own. Calling someone delusional and naive are both insulting. I'm merely pointing out how horrid the site is in rule enforcement. Kinder had one of his posts edited in serious after a monitor told me it wasn't against the rules to insult others, Icy claimed this as well.

"Naive" and "delusional" are qualitatively different to "piss-poor mad asshat".

Meta wasn't banned after insulting me after being warned just yesterday.

Oh my God, talk about obsession.

This must be the fifth time I've explained I didn't even insult you. If calling you fucking delusional is an insult, then so is you calling me naive. . .

when Meta insults me after already being warned, nothing.

I didn't insult you. I called you delusional because you cling to beliefs in the face of insurmountable evidence. If that's an insult, then you calling me naive and 'squirt' all the time also crosses the threshold. You can't have it both ways.

American Sniper was a great movie and Mr. Kyle was an outstanding American. God bless his soul for his heroic service to protecting American ideals and saving countless soldiers from insurgents.

:^)

Somebody sounds upset. Keep shitting on people who actually have a pair of balls while you hide behind a computer screen

Ted Bundy had balls.

All of those brushfire wars in irrelevant shitholes on the other side of the world? They exist so the ruling class can either profit from the use of very expensive consumable objects or use that war as a means of justifying their position as protectors that need to be there for your own good.

HA.

Yeah, because the government liked the idea of running around Tora Bora looking for bin Laden. Give the military some moral credence; they removed two fundamentalist Islamic governments in two keystone states.

I think getting rid of it and adopting the Federal Reserve was the single biggest mistake in America. But this is just one man's humble opinion.

I wonder how autistic you would look when a mod shows that isn't my account. Stay a piss-poor mad asshat

It's like you want to be banned again.
