The Democrats are not trying to inflate prices. They are trying to reduce inflation. Inflation is an international problem.I do agree that the wage discrepancy at the very, very top is too extreme. I worked at the senior manager/director level for a Fortune 100, and the CEO got close to $30 million per year once you factor in the stock options.
I also care about the working class and middle class, but how we view supporting them is different. I think what the Dems are doing now is making life very, very hard for the backbone of America by inflating prices and making things harder for the businesses (which ends up hurting employees and investors alike).
That’s the Dem talking point. Biden’s continuing big spending bills put more money into the economy, and this cause inflation - essentially fighting the Fed’s attempt to reduce inflation by tightening the money supply. Econ 101.The Democrats are not trying to inflate prices. They are trying to reduce inflation. Inflation is an international problem.
Republican tax cuts for the rich have the same effect by pumping money into the economy without taking it out in taxes. Reagan was saved from the inflation that would have resulted from his deficit spending by the decline in the world price of petroleum.That’s the Dem talking point.

You cannot spend your way out of inflation.
You ignored what I said and went straight toward defending Democrats.Republican tax cuts for the rich have the same effect by pumping money into the economy without taking it out in taxes. Reagan was saved from the inflation that would have resulted from his deficit spending by the decline in the world price of petroleum.
Crude Oil Prices Adjusted for Inflation
The rise in the price of petroleum under Carter, and its decline under Reagan happened because of fluctuations over which neither president had much control over.
Because they have been race pimped by right wing loudmouths.It isn’t about any race seeking preferential treatment but the rights of universities to crate a diverse campus and determine what factors they want to consider in admissions. The courts have previously upheld that it can use race as one of multiple factors in making admissions decisions.
Why do people focus entirely on that one aspect and ignore the fact that legacy admits and athletes each take up more slots than Blacks? Why do they not complain about such factors as being first generation, indiginous or female?
I agree with the GOP on immigration, but it is not something I feel strongly about. I enjoy dining at a Mexican near to where I live. I suspect that most of the people who work there and dine there are illegal immigrants. They like me. I like them. Some of them practice their English with me and buy me drinks.Example: why now is the Biden regime making it as inviting as possible for illegals to come into this country? The majority have no skills or education, and will just take up needed resources as the Recession takes hold.
It is because we have gone to school and worked with affirmative action beneficiaries. We saw how inadequate they were.Because they have been race pimped by right wing loudmouths.
Race is the reason whites have everything they do. So damage caused 247 years of race based policies favoring whites will not be fixed by not considering race.IMHO, race should not be a factor at all. When a black student is admitted over a more qualified student of another color then how can anyone say that race was not the driving factor? And that a more qualified student that wasn't admitted may be a minority student of another race. What I hear is that Asian kids are the ones taking it in the shorts. That just ain't right. It flies in the face of equality of opportunity and is an affirmation of discrimination for some people and against others and I cannot support that.
I do not see any 'pro' for equality of outcome, that is (sorry) crap. Some people outperform others and should receive more compensation for that, while others underperform and should receive less, and the reasons why either case occurs is irrelevant. The gov't should never be allowed to pick winners and losers, that is the antithesis of equal justice for all. If a private university or company wants to promote some form of affirmative action, so be it but the gov't should not be sudsidizing such programs IMHO.
You don't have to be admitted to Harvard to achieve economic success and upward mobility, because it's not the school that goes out into the world to earn a living, it's the individual. You are promoting a sense of entitlement based on race where you are telling black people that you are not smart enough or good enough to make it on your own merits so we'll cheat somebody else. We'll lower the bar just for you; why? Pity? Guilt? Whose fault is it when a black kid doesn't clear the same bar that someone else did, and now that person gets screwed. I think people of any race or creed can become successful and give back to their communities without discrimination for or against anybody. IOW, the answer is not to lower the bar for some, it's to address the reasons why black kids are not achieving the same academic results that others are.
IQ power is the reason we whites have everything we do. East Asians are catching up on us and will surpass us. Blacks never will. East Asians are suing Harvard to eliminate affirmative action in university admissions.Race is the reason whites have everything they do. So damage caused 247 years of race based policies favoring whites will not be fixed by not considering race.
Asians are not taking anything in the shorts. Asians are being used by white racists to end AA.
Give us a break. Whites have everything they do because they have built the most productive society in the history of mankind.Race is the reason whites have everything they do. So damage caused 247 years of race based policies favoring whites will not be fixed by not considering race.

Under SAT-Only Admissions, Asian American Applicants to Selective Colleges Would Gain Fewer than 3,000 Seats Out of 120,000, Georgetown University Report Find
21% of Asian American students at the most selective colleges would not have been admitted
under a test-only admissions policy
Critics of affirmative action point to the stable enrollment share of Asian American students at the most selective colleges for the past two decades as evidence that these institutions maintain a predetermined racial balance of students. However, CEW researchers found that the enrollment share of Asian American and Pacific Islander students at Harvard and at the 90 other most selective colleges in the US has kept pace with their growing share of the four-year college-going population. In fact, the Asian American and Pacific Islander share of enrollments at the most selective colleges grew by 4 percentage points even while their enrollment share at all four-year colleges grew by just 2 percentage points between 1999 and 2018.
Imagine what the United States would be like with virtually no Negroes. The crime rate would be much lower. The cost of our welfare systems and criminal justice systems would be much lower. Affirmative action would not elevate blacks to positions they lack the intelligence to perform well.Give us a break. Whites have everything they do because they have built the most productive society in the history of mankind.

Well…in most of these arguments, it is about elite private institutions. IMO, for state universities, one of the best is Texas University which automatically admits the top 10% of every Texas Highschool. That means those in economicaly. areas as well as the more priveledged and insures a diverse student body. I can get behind that.I do not see any 'pro' for equality of outcome, that is (sorry) crap.

An area where I disagree with white nationalists (although I am a white Gentile) is that they want white Gentiles to be discriminated in favor of in university admissions and I do not. That disagreement has gotten me banned from white nationalist websites. I am opposed to affirmative action policies for any demographic.We are obviously not going to agree on this…but the issue with Asian kids in Harvard is interesting, and it isn’t an issue of “unqualified blacks” but rather less qualified white students.
The Uncomfortable Truth About Affirmative Action and Asian-Americans
Since the nineties, the share of Asians in Harvard’s freshman class has remained stable, while the percentage of Asians in the U.S. population has more than doubled.www.newyorker.com
What? Who wants white “gentiles” to be discriminated against when whites with lower academic qualifications are getting admitted over better qualified Asians?An area where I disagree with white nationalists (although I am a white Gentile) is that they want white Gentiles to be discriminated in favor of in university admissions and I do not. That disagreement has gotten me banned from white nationalist websites. I am opposed to affirmative action policies for any demographic.
I admire Jews and East Asians for the same reasons white nationalists resent them; they tend to be intelligent, successful, and prosperous.
Read my post again. I do not want white Gentiles to be discriminated in favor of. White nationalists do.What? Who wants white “gentiles” to be discriminated against when whites with lower academic qualifications are getting admitted over better qualified Asians?
The purpose of going to college should be to learn a profession, but only if one has the native intelligence to learn the profession. Most people lack this and should not be in college.Let me ask this: what is the purpose of going to college and getting a college education?
Texas University is practicing affirmative action by the back door. The top ten percent in affluent areas is going to be more intelligent on the average than the top ten percent in poor areas. IQ is what matters.Well…in most of these arguments, it is about elite private institutions.

The problem is that leftists see college as the means to bring about equity - not prepare for a profession. And to do so, they have to lower the bar for less qualified students, and thus water down the value of a college degree.The purpose of going to college should be to learn a profession, but only if one has the native intelligence to learn the profession. Most people lack this and should not be in college.
