To students of economics : You read all this historical verbiage above and yet none of these people can grasp the simplicity of the idea that to give a mortgage to a person with no job of down payment is a bogus economic idea that is bound to fail. This fact should come as great encouragement to stu...

Less socializing of debt? That is less government. As for the laissez-faire, only a blind,deaf and dumb man, locked in a wo...

London is burning thanks to Washington. What is the difference between Wall Street looting the tax payer and a man looting a department store? In terms of morality it amounts to the same thing . The fall out from the sub prime fiasco was a tidal wave of financial destruction across the world. Over t...

What we have here is a guy who does not even understand the verbiage he is writing . He does not understand his own contradictions. He fails to appreciate what happened and why it happened . He incessently talks of CRA CRA CRA as if the CRA is in anyway the subject of my debate. What we have here is...

(quote not shown) What do you mean if I am concerned about the sub prime crisis. Have you not noticed that the entire world is concerned not just myself ! (quote not shown) Why are you constantly banging on about the CRA ? Who is talking about the CRA.? No one is even mentioning the CRA except you. ...

The greatest delusion is to live by the idea that happiness is an entitlement. Moreover that happiness is the status quo; that happiness is naturally occurring. To spend a life seeking happiness is to be always seeking. In such a life the present is provisional and in such a life, life itself, is in...

Given the USA surplus the gold standard would mean that A...
