If it is a choice between different economic philosophies, I choose the Uni of Chicago over any Keynesian version.

Read "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism", by Naomi Klein.

You are exactly wrong on that issue.

You take her seriously!!???

Here, here.

Thanks for the well informed reply. You are sad, allergic to the facts, and an unwitting supporter of evil as a result. Read the book before replying to this, is my request.

If Phokus trolls in the woods, and noone is around to hear it....


Does it make a sound?

I already have two histories on WW II on my desk to read by Max Hastings. I won't waste my time on tripe. I don't read someone's conspiracy fantasies - didn't with JFK, didn't with the 911 truthers. If I want to read a good economics book, I might read Paul Krugman's The Return of Depression Economics and the Crises of 2008.

Someone has to cancel out Winnar11

Winnar11 was recently banned because proof was discovered that he was a returning permabanned member under a new name that lived to troll. His goal was to throw gas onto fires, since this forum is mostly liberal, it is of little surprise that he chose to masquerade as an ultra conservative to rattle the most cages.
Meanwhile...Phokus continues to post his incendiary, bigoted garbage...there is no justice.

Oh get over it ya Drama Queen. What Phokus posts doesn't bother you, in fact I bet you like it when he posts that nonsense so you and the other twisted sisters can try to use it to marginalize all Liberals.
Actually, regardless of what you say or imagine, I find most of his posts to be offensive in one way or another. This guy is a trolling bigot and your tolerance for it speaks volumes. Your statement that "Phokus posts doesn't bother you" is a damn lie...Red Dawn Lie #1.

I've NEVER used anything Phokus has said "to marginalize all Liberals"...Red Dawn Lie #2.

But hey, thanks for sharing your keen insight.
LOL:laugh:

Then I'm not too interested in talking with you, at least on this, and probably anything else if this is any indication.

You are far more ignorant than you realize, which is clear for example by your equating this book with JFK conspiracy theories and 9/11 truthers.

The fact your plan b is Krugman shows you have some reasonableness, but only some. Frankly, you could not tell me why putting in more time isn't a waste of it, I suspect.

I am happy to put the time in to weed through a lot of crap to point you to the good stuff, but have less and less patience for you with the information allergy.

But hey, good luck with all that WWII research that'll be so much more helpful while you follow the Chicago boys. Be sure to put a spoiler warning on who wins if you post about it.

I'm not planning to ask you pertinent questions such as whether you are not aware or just don't care why the Chicago policies are always having to be implemented at gunpoint.

Ehh, this is good and bad. The good is that hopefully the GOP will be reformed as something that it was during Ike's days.

You know, the *SMART* people who were for common sense and did things like warn us about the military industrial complex, built things for the people like THE INTERSTATE ROAD SYSTEM, etc. I want those people in charge of the republican party. Where are they!?!? Some common sense ones that can step forward and be like yes, some socialist things like education and health care make sense and then on the other hand actually do something like cut a lot of the stuff we don't need instead of just throwing government at the problem like both parties have done recently. Logically government can help with some things, it can't with others,

This coming from somebody who suggests purging GOP members from the gene pool? Clearly another parody thread from Phokus.

:laugh:

Ironic, huh??

Yeah, it's not like i post tongue in cheek comments or anything

Put all republicans in a meat grinder and feed their remains to the poor

Nothing tongue in cheek about you being a closet bigot masking himself in the robes of liberalism.

Lynched any darkies lately?

If it served his purpose/agenda I have no doubt that he'd lynch anyone who got in his way.

Huh? He isn't a libertarian or republican, those are traditionally the parties of lynching.

Are you trying to prove you're as stupid as Phokus? Well done, you've succeeded.
