  1. The Federal Reserve monetizes the debt anytime it buys U.S. Treasuries. Do you know which debt? Do you know WHAT a U.S. Treasury is? The Fed is by far the biggest buyer of U.S. Treasuries and is expected to buy up to 90% in 2013. $85 BILLION a month. That aside, taxes ARE going to go up. But not on the rich, it'll go up on the middle class and the poor. The 1% made ALL of the gains in GDP in 2009,10 and 11. You're either blind, in the 1% or extremely dense. O-bot is playing you for a fool.

  2. (1)Peer-reviewed historical record is NOT following the Scientific Method. Which *gasp* involves being able to reproduce an "Experiment" (2)Appealing to History IS a synthetic logical fallacy. This is a simple fact Example: The world has always had Slavery (Historical fact). Therefor this must remain the case. Yes, there has NEVER been a Free-Market. You are wrong in thinking therefor this MUST remain the case. What you don't get is you are the problem. Specifically: Your way of thinking.

  3. Just watch.

  4. 1) You obviously have no idea what the Scientific Method is. Mathematical equations are peer-reviewed and published all the time. They certainly do not have to involve the Scientific Method... even a fuck-wit like you can understand that much. 2) Feudal Japan didn't practice Slavery. 3) Thank the Great Progressive BIll Clinton, he repealed Glass-Steagel. Oh, and we have NEVER had a Free-Market. We've always had a Regulated Market. Always. So, don't blame the Free Market, it never existed.

  5. (1) I'm not a Republican. (2) I voted for Obama in 2004. (3) It's evident you really to 'Believe' in the Right/Left paradigm. (4) You have no idea what money actually is. So, keep voting Democrat, see what your life is like after another 4 years of a Democrate Senate and POTUS and maybe even the House. You will be paying more taxes, job opportunities will be less, your standard of living will be reduced. The Government OTOH grow just like any other a cancer. As I said: Just watch.

  6. If you're not running an experiment and gathering data (a repeatable experiment ANYONE can repeat and gather their own data) then you are NOT following the scientific methodology. It's really that simple. The repeal of Glass-Steagel is an example of why a free market can't exist where there is also a State interfering with the market. We live in a state of Fascism. This will become more evident to you as the years of economic slump turn into decades.

  7. "But this isn't the Democrats doing" LOL

  8. I agree, we do NOT live in a modern Free-Market (nor has one existed). However, your appeal (like Thom) to History is a fallacy. You're no different than a 1700s Slave Master saying there's no such thing as a free negro in Georgia. Which would have true. Sadly, from this truth you incorrectly (synthetic fallacy) conclude therefor there never will be. You'd be wrong. You are wrong. You don't know it, and probably never will, but YOU and people like you are (and always will be) the problem

  9. She was referring to MIDDLE CLASS America Thom. You remember that, right? Do the Stats add up for your average Middle Class American? We're not talking about inner city Black Americans. Their environment is so totally destroyed by Public Housing, Public Schooling, Public Police, basically they're dying in a toxin of Government Services". She was referring to Middle Class America.

  10. If the problem is MONEY then the problem is GOVERNMENT. It's the government that controls the fundamental definition of what is money. In a true free-market competing currencies would replace the USD. It should be noted inner city blacks do fine when able to compete (such as selling drugs). It's just they're not allowed to by law. Remove the drug prohibition and watch as the inner city drugs and gangs vanish just as happened when alcohol prohibition ended. Again, a problem OF GOVERNMENT.

  11. You're still appealing to History and like it or not, that IS a logical fallacy. Also, you're using the word evidence incorrectly. When Scientists refer to empirical evidence they're referring to a process called the Scientific Method. Unlike appealing to History, appealing to Statistically probability fairs a bit better in predicting reality. Lastly, your ad hominem is likewise a synthetic logical fallacy. I personally base my arguments on Ethics - generally, but not limited to, Emmanuel Kant

  12. A mathematical proof is an example of analytical logic, not an example of running an experiment. I don't need to key words into Google, I AM a Scientist, I publish Science, I train Scientists in the methodology. You really have to hand it to Government Schools, creating one moronic worker cog at a time - too bad there's no factors to plug you into. Oh well, keep watching Thom, see how far that takes you in life.

  13. Hey, guess what, in wonderful Socialist Australia the Government pays for mothers to put there children into daycare (which acts as a preschool as the child remains until entering Government School) at 6 WEEKS OLD .... you know, but the mother needs to get back to work and pay her income tax! I know a mother who gave birth a month early and put her child into daycare at 6 weeks or TWO WEEKS post her planned birth. Government School is horrible. Pre-School is horrible.

  14. Money is Money? Petitio Principii Good to see you've given it a lot of thought. Just keep voting for the Democrats. Hell, I hope they get control over the Senate AND the House and the POTUS. It'd be wonderful to watch them finally sink this ship. Of course, they themselves don't want that to happen. They need it to appear there's two different parties to keep people like you voting and paying your taxes and most of all ignorant. Money is Money, just keep saying that to yourself.

  15. See, this is the nice thing about the times we're living in. OK, you THINK printing money isn't a problem (even though you don't really know what money IS), well, we'll see won't we. The top 1% made ALL the gains in 2009,10 and 11. The Banks made the second largest profit EVER in 2011. You just keep voting Democrats. You'll see soon enough.
