US credit rating slashed....again.

[PoS]

Keynesianism at work. As long as gubmint continues to try to manipulate the economy you will continue to see slow growth and double digit unemployment and another bubble soon. Welcome to America.

[The Comrade]

because unfettered capitalism doesn't create bubbles.


cue your tired response about railroads or whatever canned argument you have every time this criticism is brought up.

[PoS]

(almost) Unfettered capitalism created the largest growth period in American history.

[The Comrade]

we've been over that one too snookums. going to have to come up with something new.

[PoS]

Well its true. Until you and all the other socialists, commies and Keynesians can refute that then I will keep at it.

[The Comrade]

it's been refuted quite a few times. i'm not going to rehash the argument every time you bring up this wrong point.

[PoS]

No it hasnt.

[The Comrade]

yes, yes it has.

"hurrrrrrr great wealth!" - in the hands of a few

"hurrrrr capitalism" - was actually very regulated in areas

"hurrrrrr gubmint makes bubbles" - bubbles existed prior to and without government involvement

"hurrrrr it's called the gilded age for a reason" - gilded being a term used to mock it


i just saved everyone the pain of reading three pages of you arguing this nonsense.
