thank you Governor for at least starting a common sense approach? to the drug war. you had all those Dems sitting around you nodding their heads and probably thinking how they never thought they’d vote for a republican governor.
I left this post some time ago on Hoover did the great bail outs, which really turned the 1929 recession into the depression: tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=2132454&cid=36053400?
I am in Germany right now, just passing by again. It’s socialist but it’s far less socialist today than it was 3 years ago, and it shows. And when I asked people 3 years ago when are they going to get out of Euro, they were laughing. Today half of them cannot wait to get out.
Germany opened up borders to cheap labour from Eastern Europe and Turkey to keep manufacturing at home,? and Germans DO NOT LIVE ON CREDIT.
Germans only buy stuff WITH CASH.
Bernanke is a moron, they released the Fed’s minutes from 2007 to now, he? couldn’t see the incoming housing collapse even at the time when every Austrian already set his bets against the banking system and F&F.
Germany’s reparations and embargoes had to do with restarting the World War again, but it was UK’s debt that was monetised by the US Fed that lead to the currency wars and the agriculture stock bubble of 1929.
FDR took US of ‘gold standard’ to allow printing even more money to bail out all sorts of agriculture stock, but? that’s an after-effect of run away gov’t. The gov’t ran away when it figured out a way to create the Fed and allowed Treasury to monetise debt with the Fed’s ‘printing press’. It’s not about ‘gold standard’, it’s about actual gold.
War is never a stimulus. The END of WWII was stimulus – budget cut by 60%, taxes by 30%
– By the way, the German government is far more “socialist” than the American, and they have a much higher standard of living, are the second leading exporter in the world (after China), have a balanced budget and hardly any debt to speak of, an efficient, nationalized health care system, lower divorce and? crime rates (i.e. “family values”), etc. I’d rather live there than 19th century America.
… was that the? Depression was caused by a problem with the balance of payments between nations, particularly Germany, which was burdened with billions in reparations after the Treaty of Versaille–payments which were explicitly designated to be in the form of gold bullion. It must be nice having a conspiracy-fantasy “Austrian economics” alternative history, but in fact the past isn’t so remote that it can just be invented at will.
– Whoa. Dude. FDR cut off us the gold standard. The depression started under Hoover, his predecessor. With the stimulus of WWII, the country was able to get out of the depression. The only time the depression threatened to come back was in 1937, when FDR experimented with austerity. (In the 19th century, by the way, depressions would go on for decades because governments had no tools to combat them.) I’m no Great Depression scholar (though Ben? Bernanke is), but my understanding…
Your problem is that you are wrong on everything. USA found prosperity? while it was on GOLD, not just on a ‘standard’. Fed created the Great Depression by printing currency because the gov’t broke away from gold, and so all that counterfeiting caused the depression of 1921, which ended by 1923 due to Warren Harding cutting US federal spending by about 70%.
1929 was caused by Fed printing from 1925 to buy bad UK debt. Learn something before saying anything else.
– Ron Paul isn’t the answer. He’s excellent on civil liberties and on not fighting? never ending expensive foreign wars (that right there disqualifies him from the Republican nomination.)
The problem is that his economic theories are wack-job 19th century concepts; no country has found prosperity through the model of the gold standard (which, until FDR got us away from, was prolonging the Great Depression) and an unfettered Gilded Age laissez-faire survival-of-the-fittest economy.
watch?v=Xaka4fsECgs – stop drug war and use presidential pardon to release all non-violent drug related prisoners.
Ron Paul 2012.?
Probably? the sanest thing a Republican has uttered in decades; unfortunately, I notice he says nothing about reducing the rate of incarceration for nonviolent crime.
How about that….a Republican? that make sense…thats a change
Fuck you,? Chris Christie. He’s corporate America’s pet pig.
its also fiscally responsible to avoid housing inmates when treatment is an alternative. all motives are mixed, and thankfully this issue? is only going to help addicts in need
Chris, you da? Man!
