Fundamental Transformation of America and Hope-and-Change
You stupid people who voted in this Communist president into the White House get what you deserve. Unfortunately, the rest of us are along for the ride.
O-B-A-M-A
Not according to some Freepers who says its because those on unemployment are simply lazy...
--- Winkopedia article on "Causes of the Great Depression"
The collapse of the banking system led to great mistrust in same by the people, and played a part in the great shrinkage in the velocity of money, despite government stimulus, and the great contraction.
In a complex system, small fluctuations can result in large changes, as any math major can attest. This "economist" Ian Fletcher, seems to think not, his compelling argument... NOT SO MUCH!
Poppycock!
Wikipedia is now a source?
Weak.
So long as we have epa, nlrb, eeoc, et al, nothing ewill improve.
Wikipedia is generously footnoted in many articles. It is one of a number of sources that provides similar information. If you think different, then you are very narrow in your reading.
There’s always “factcheck”.
Maybe they’ve got something you could use as resource, as well. :)
Address this issue, please. Tariffs will not encourage US manufacture until this enormous stumbling block is removed.
Yes but the average libtard has been so deluded into thinking the EPA has fixed the problem instead of just driving the problem off-shore that only a nasty wake up call about the true cost of their policy will bring enough people back into reality to change the situation.
It's already starting with gasoline prices. But that only affects the "rich" people living in the suburbs. I've had to down size from my pick up to a compact car and it's now starting to cost me 50 bucks again to fill up my tank. But hurting me is preaching to the choir. The EPA needs to be gutted along with the rest of the bloated federal government.
Until we get through to the 40% block of voters that continually vote Democrat or we split this country in two. I don't see any choice but to go through a world of hurt.
Fact Check doesn’t seem to have anything to say about Smoot-Hawley.
Now you're talking my language.
(I was kidding)
Factcheck is the leftist group which “verified” Obama’s COLB proved he was born in Hawaii.
The question must be rhetorical because the answer is near self-evident: we have an Idiot in the White House who is surrounded by a crapload of corrupt and academic idiots with virtually no business experience, etc. :duh: =.=
Thanks.

I guess were are OK unless we need to make a bunch of airplanes, ships and tanks in a real war..../sarc
If we slap a 100% import tariff on everything we import, what will other countries do with the products we export to them? Sounds like a good way to get into a full-fledged global trade war to me.
I like the idea of going the other way...creating a pro-growth, business-friendly environment by significantly reducing the cost of doing business, which would involve massive regulatory reform and eliminating all capital gains taxes on businesses and corporations (as part of a total overhaul/reform of our tax system) for starters.
This would encourage business startups, expansion, higher paying jobs, etc. This strategy would also entail being able to tap into markets outside this country for a portion of businesses’ customer base-which would be almost impossible if we were to slap a 100% tariff on all our imports.
B.O.H.I.C.A.
What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.The first stage being "demoralization"....---KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov---Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)
We are already in a global trade war.
Against America.
