"Yes the source is pushing a survivalist agenda, and feeding whatever story they can coerce into that agenda. Yet the article directly linked the [federal reserve report](http://www.federalreserve.gov/econresdata/2013-report-economic-well-being-us-households-201407.pdf) the numbers came from at the start of the second paragraph. Something news articles rarely do, whether it be economics, legal judgements, or whatever. Hence the ""bullshit underneath"" is itself bullshit. I just wish all such articles from all sources would do the same."
"&gt;&gt; Boy, you are so disappointed that Trump cut the debt more than any other president in this short time... because ""it not enough""?  &gt; What are you talking about? Did you read what I said at all or are you just projecting your insecurity?  Yes I read what you wrote, including the example with the cookies.  But the correct example here and what's happening with Trump, is that he DID enact fiscal changes, he DOES fight corruption and waste, he does invest, and you can ALREADY see the results."
&gt;When you debate someone, in a forum or somewhere other than your armchair, I suggest you forget about trying to demand a opposite answer from someone as an answer to a question. Its not only childish, its really quite silly  When you post a statement as fact, you might want a single example to back it up, or at least admit you have none. *You* claimed that no empire purchased its own debt. Please back it up or admit you are wrong.  You said, and I quote: &gt;Show me some other great empire in history that managed to purchase its own debt.  You still have not listed an empire that did not purchase it's own debt.
&gt;“Draw one line on a graph charting the decline in union membership, then superimpose a second line charting the decline in middle-class income share,” writes Noah, “and you will find that the two lines are nearly identical.” Richard Freeman, a Harvard economist,  Thus demonstrating that Harvard economists apparently fail to comprehend the very simple point that *CORRELATION does* **NOT** *equal CAUSATION.*  At best, it indicates the *possibility* of a link, but is proof of nothing. (And anyone who cites a mere correlation as if it was irrefutable proof, as is implied here... is either an idiot, or they are being extremely intellectually dishonest.)
Regarding your second bullet I would highly suggest reading Michael Lewis' book *Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World*. I just finished it myself and it provided some great insight not only into the Greek / Sovereign debt crisis.
"&gt; If I come to your house with a gun and hand cuffs and say, ""you made this much money this year, therefore you owe me this much because I need healthcare/food/ect."" Okay, so your argument is that taxes are illegitimate because they pay for services for others. Obviously I disagree, because in your example your money is *only* paying for services for other people. However, the reality is that we the minute we are born we benefit from living in a civilized society with services and infrastructure that was created by those who have paid taxes in the past. Your example is faulty because it assumes you receive no benefit from the taxes that the government demands of you. &gt; Yes, government made it happen, that doesn't mean that it would have never happened with out it. Possible, but we will never know. I think we agree that GPS does provide a valuable service, and it was created by government. This being one of thousands of examples of government innovation that has improved everyones lives, and provided the foundation for more innovation on the commercial market. It is possible that it would come to be in some form without government investment through taxes, but we know it *did* become reality through government through taxes. &gt; I would say that the US military has gone way overboard with the amount of technological spend. I would agree, to an extent. I would like to see investment in other areas, but that is what our elected leaders currently find of value. &gt; From what I've seen, the 2017 request is $12.5 billion for total tech spend for the military. I am not sure where that number is coming from. I know at one point JEIDDO by itself spent over $1T in R&amp;D on the IED problem. I know that DTRA funds a couple billion dollars worth of R&amp;D by itself too. Then you have groups like DOE, which do a lot of R&amp;D on defense projects as well. I think that number might be off. Drone technology was another example that you used. How much do you think the Amazon delivery drone service was influenced by DOD R&amp;D into drones?
"ok dude.  reality check.  the koch brothers pay more in taxes in a day than you will in a lifetime.    but if you can back up your statements my mind is open.    but what it sounds like is you have ""reddit front page sub bias disorder""."
&gt; Economics is not hard science.   Thousands of researches and books written on the topic, and you summed it all in one sentence. Brilliant...you are unbelievable, the depth of your ignorance knows no bounds. This country is being ruined by people like you.
You raised the issue, war is undertaken with gov't spending. What am I supposed to do, not give the correct answer?  Edit: I agree that it's a nihilistic view, and I do dislike nihilism, but as my dick of a dad used to say, even a broken clock is right twice a day

"Something getting at the idea that higher wages boost aggregate demand and GDP. That would be the basic Keynesian argument... Something like ""Workers are consumers""?  On a more controversial note, the classic line from Marx might be pertinent: ""What the Bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave diggers""."
"Thank goodness you replied again before i did i completely forgot to respond and that notification was a good reminder. Im genuinely enjoying the conversation and sorry about the name calling most of my political and economic debates happen with family where name calling is not only accepted but expected lol. &gt; Too many people walk into the emergency room uninsured, or under-insured. They get emergent care that they are not covered for, and the hospitals jack up the prices greatly in the hopes of getting a larger portion reimbursed by Medicare [this link] (https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/who-bears-the-cost-of-the-uninsured-nonprofit-hospitals) seems to contradict that statment. i dont know enough about the system to say youre wrong but it doesnt sound very real to me. &gt;Again, Switzerland has lower tax rates than the US, but they don't even crack the top 20 when it comes to countries with low taxes. Youre obviously not wrong but there are many places on that list id love to retire in. Amongst the developed world from what im seeing [here] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_tax_rates) has the 27th lowest individual income tax rate when it applies to there highest bracket. now i use the term ""developed"" very loosely here as there are countries ahead of them on that list that clearly arent part of the developed world but its not up to me to decide what the swiss rank is. &gt;So you work in construction, an industry in which commercial is notorious for underbidding a contract (whether to government or to private), and then running into unexpected overages that cause the job to go over schedule, over budget. This is dangerously false. The industry isnt known for underbidding and going over budget. Only really really really bad contractors do that.
How am I changing the subject, I clearly stated it was hard to police and it is, again, Paris has 55,000 listings, it's also illegal there... Please show even a shred of evidence that cities code, laws, etc have stopped people from doing it.
&gt;Your line of reasoning is why you should have a timeline on a prediction. It's been, what, 12 years now of near constant assertions that huge inflation is just right around the corner. How long should we wait for it?  It's like you rose to counter-attack and simply completely side-stepped and ignored his actual point.

A few questions:  1) Are there any 'low emission' fuels or technologies that are even remotely viable for long-haul air travel, within the next decade or two? Asking people to travel less is silly, and punishing companies for CO2 emissions when there is no alternative is also silly, so I hope these regulations are trying to encourage some sort of 'positive' behaviour?   2) Is there any evidence that CO2 credits or offsets are actually helpful? Is there any proof that it's not just a money laundering scam?
You make some very valid points.  However, does the state spend the money because they are incompetent; or, because that is how the state is structured to be?  If the latter; then, by whom?    Why do you think we start wars that a five year old could even understand is a sham?  Why do we have overcrowded prisons?    Follow the money.... Remember, the rich stay rich not because of their morals, ethics, or good behavior.
Then why didn't you counter that?  RP's budget is contingent upon gutting cabinet level departments and defunding a laundry list of government agencies, including some very effective ones.  Criticizing my tone is just a shoddy dodge that's *every bit as arrogant* as what you read as my condescension.   So:  1) Which 20% of diseases should the CDC stop researching?   2) How, exactly, are we going to keep planes in the sky, certify and inspect aircraft, manage routes and air traffic control, without the FAA?  Even if we pretend that the FAA doesn't address a clear market failure, how will the problem be solved privately without passing undue expense onto consumers?    3)  Without the FCC, what's to prevent me from building and dialing up a transmitter to bubble out any station I don't like?  What's to stop anyone from just jamming anyone else?  Do you think the police are suddenly going to take on the burden of enforcement?    Please, take a good look at RP's budget.  Again, while I agree with many of RP's criticisms of many policies, I don't agree with his solutions.  There's too many unanswered questions, and the many things he's pushing to be eliminated are either impractical, or politically/economically untenable.
"I'll repeat, do you have an actual argument to contribute or just going to keep derailing?

&gt; The state is heavily involved in American health care, an enormous component of why it is so expensive and inaccessible.  No - the reason is it so expensive and inaccessible is because it's not fully nationalised.  In the UK we pay **less** for NHS than you do for your medicare, per capita.  The US has the worst of all systems.  &gt; The latter quoted accusation does not make sense, and that was exactly Bastiat’s point.  It makes no sense as an analogy either.
What is the rational argument to defend the position that American GDP growth is slower than historical yearly gains and this was a fault of Obama.

Oh really?  Did you have proof that those were their goals, or are you just overlaying the party line on the decisions, because that’s what others told you?

Either you use absolute standards to calculate poverty or you use relative standards. If you want to use relative standards it's an obscene argument, there will always be poverty. If you use absolute standards you cannot arbitrarily exclude the rest of the world. It's about purchasing power, not nominal incomes. You are discussing nominal incomes and using a relative standard of poverty. You mine as well just say 'I enjoy being unhappy about the world and have set forth to define the world in terms which make it impossible for me to be happy about it. Not trying to start an argument, that's simply economics. Not even saying you don't have serious and relevant gripes. But this article is not going to help present those issues in a way that they can be taken seriously. I would recommend reading some material on developmental economics.

See, they got it backwards, you spend the money and THEN you raise taxes to cover it.  It's the spending that stimulates the economy, not the increased tax base.   (ps, yes I know Japan has a national debt and has therefore already spent the money ;)
Well, this covers about 6 trillion.  Monetary base wasn't defined in the table and I was too lazy to drill down.  I'm guessing it is M2.

Marion is definitely in a terrible position, but I have feeling she could use some personal finance advice on money because she has serious leaks in her budget that aren't account for. Also, I think, with two kids, she fits the description of people who are recipients of large IRS tax refund.
