You think jews are disappointed in how Obama has handled Israel? Wait till they learn about Ron Paul's isolationist foreign policy and letting them figure it out on their own.

People still throw around isolationist? I thought this was explained over and over already.

We should have given them a nation right smack in the middle of the USA as opposed to surrounded by enemies, they would have nothing to fear from Kansas, I can't say the same for Iran though.

... I thought they asked to be there. You know, the Holy Land and everything.


No, I know quite a bit more about Paul than you do, in fact. And fact is that you are making my point entirely when you unwittingly concede that Paul would allow for states to go years, decades or even never, if they so choose, provide medical care and retirement plans to their seniors. Except this was already tried for 160 years, and it failed. Since SS and Medicare, senior homelessness and health have vastly improved. These are statistically verifiable facts. Deal with it, Paul believes in ideas that have failed or are unproven.


Just wondering, which states do you think will not provide these for seniors?

51-49? Hmmm. And Cain won the straw poll in Florida and that lady with the perplexing Mona Lisa glare-stare won the straw poll in Iowa. Yep, it all makes sense to me now. lol

What's even weirder about your economic tangent momeNt, is that Keynesian and monetarist have proven themselves the best predictor of market recessions and booms for nearly 80 years, so to claim they don't work anymore is interesting given that the alternative theories you posit are...what again? Austrian? lol, how are their models working out exactly again?

They are the best predictors because they themselves provide the framework for 'market recessions and booms'. What are those things called again.. Bubbles?

And as for how Australia is doing, last time I checked they were #2 on 2010 HDI (USA is 4th). I'd say they are doing just fine.

self deluded lie #7 "market bubbles are an inside job"

Fun fact: there were market bubbles that were much more detrimental before the Federal Reserve.

and, just so you know, the AUSTRIAN economic perspective (of which the neo-monetarist perspective is a sub-set) is neither how Austria nor how AUSTRALIA is run?!

Good God that was funny.
