Those are some good accomplishments, but to go from "I've held x amount of jobs" to "I know how economics works" isn't any better than saying that causes you to know chemistry. Economics follows a set of laws that work. For example, just because you own 3 businesses does not mean that consumers are NOT going to buy less when prices rise.
No, it doesn't.
But I know what works, what made money and what sunk me.
Brilliant men have made a hash of more than
one economy around the world.
Keynes was a lettered economist, considered a genius.
Is he right?
I've argued this subject with you too many times in the past AF, so all I can say is I've taken classes and have done research on the issue, and almost all economists agree, and you once told me you didn't believe in these micro-economic principles because "all the teachers are keynesians" when keynesianism has nothing to do with micro-economics, it has to do with macro-economics.
I'm not
quite sure that was me.
I'm not going to deny it outright, but it doesn't sound like something I'd say.
And yes, we've gone around and around, as have others.
I still maintain, that, based on what is going on now, "free trade" as defined and practiced right now, is, in it's part, destroying the economy.
You have a Ronald Reagan quote in your sig line.
Ronald Reagan slapped tariffs on all sorts of goods, some with positive results, like Harley Davidson that was able to get some breathing room and avoid bankruptcy in 1983. Or Toyota and Honda plants in
this country, making the best selling cars in the country.
But yet you quote him.
Sometimes people just look at things differently, for whatever reason. Doesn't make them assholes or wrong about everything else.
I wish I could respond in greater detail, just this is killing me since I banged up my left hand pretty bad the other day.
