Six studies that show that everything the GOP believe are wrong...

[itfitzme]

Here is the first study.

Minimum Wage Effects Across State Borders: Estimates Using Contiguous Counties

http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers/157-07.pdf

The authors are

Arindrajit Dube, T. William Lester, and Michael Reich


There short creds are

Dube: Department of Economics, University of Massachusetts Amherst;

Lester: Department of City and Regional Planning of UNC Chapel Hill;

Reich epartment of Economics and IRLE, University of California, Berkeley.

Anything less than reading and studying the paper is meaningless.

Gee, Berkeley professors supporting the min wage. Who would have guessed?
All those studies rely on survivor bias. Go look it up.

Again, you've said nothing except to again voice your delusion.

 

[francoHFW]

It actually ALWAYS works. Not sure what bullshit you've been reading. Or more likely hearing on Rachel Maddow.

You're quite mad The only thing that worked for W was a corrupt real estate bubble. Worked great....It certainly doesn't work when the rich are bloated and there's no demand from the non rich...like now.

That corrupt real estate bubble was created by carter, clinton, fanny mae and freddy mac. Dimwit caused.

BS- Funny how nothing happened till W put in crony regulators to rate junk as A+, and F+F's share of the market went for 75% TO 25 IN 2003. YOU'RE A BRAINWASHED FUNCTIONAL MORON, HATER DUPE...

Easier to dismiss my point than engage it. Got it.
S0n, you dont have the chops to debate me. Get over it.

1) Bush was president in 2003 so crony regulators bad but 25% in 2003 good??? NIce contradiction

2)Fan Fed was mostly responsible for crisis. They took best mortgages and so made others accept lower standards to stay in business. Read "Reckless Endangerousment" for 400 page breakdown

3) Fed at heart was responsible of course since they printed money 100% necessary to buy and bid up prices on housing. Liberals lack IQ to understand monetary policy so I know that one was way over your head-right?

Rolling Stone? Yes, a music magazine is the perfect source for political and economic analysis.

Might wanna look up "confirmation bias".

What you do is read it and see if the facts are presented and are true. Unlike the pure propaganda and bs RW hater dupes call news...

No, you operate solely from emotion. If it FEELS true, it IS true.

That sums up progressives' "thought" process.

Oh, you mean like using a meaningless attribute, like the news agency that printed the article, as rationalization for an unfounded opinion? You mean like that kind of confirmation bias?

You even use the term "confirmation bias" as anjustification for confirmation bias. Fucking incredible.

So you don't know how this works. OP is supposed to present an idea and defend it. It's up to OP to prove the claims are true. Pointing to the warm fuzzy emotions he gets when he reads it is not proof.

Six Studies That Show Everything Republicans Say About the Economy is Wrong | Politics News | Rolling Stone

Now show the study that shows how republican voters don't even care if they are wrong. One issue wedge voters. Example, anti abortion people. They don't care about taxes, war, pollution, nuthin. All they care about is abortion. Gun owners? All they care about. They vote against themselves financially because of social wedge issues that don't even really matter.

Do I care if a gay marries or a woman gets an abortion? Absolutely not. Why are we even talking about it? Because they are issues the rich use to divide the dumb middle class.

D'jever notice that people who can't think for themselves believe they can decide what's in other's best interests?

 

[daveman]

Yes, and the facts and details are that the Left has been wrong about virtually everything for the last 40+ years. And never apologized for a single thing.
Just for instance, the Left consistently supported:
Stalin
Mao
Castro
Ho
The Sandinistas
Che
Chavez

Every one an opportunistic murdering dictator but successful in duping the Left.

Not ALL of the left.

Some of them are quite aware of the reality of the murderous dictators they support. That's what they like about them.

 

[daveman]

There you go, creating an over generalized , paranoid delusional fantacy with no bearing on reality.

You're really going to maintain that the Left did not favor and idolize all those assholes? Let's see you do it. I double dare you.

No,p/ It should be perfectly clear what I am telling you. You have created a fantacy that you call "the left".

You can deny the sun comes up in the east...but your denials do not alter reality in any way.

conservative Martin Feldstein has acknowledged that investment is driven by demand, not supply; if there are viable investments to be made, they will be made regardless of tax rates, and if there are no investments to be made, cutting taxes is merely pushing on a string.
..

of course that's a huge huge lie from an typical illiterate liberal. Gates Jobs Bezos begged for venture capital precisely because there was no demand just the prayer that there would be demand once they supplied their goods and services. If you had taxed those rich who supplied the venture capital there would have been no Jobs Gates or Bezos!

Always remember, we got from the stone age to here because people supplied things to make it possible. People demanded jet planes for a million years, but they didn't appear until someone supplied them.

"Increased government spending can provide a temporary stimulus to demand and output but in the longer run higher levels of government spending crowd out private investment or require higher taxes that weaken growth by reducing incentives to save, invest, innovate, and work."

Martin Feldstein

[EdwardBaiamonte]

Republicans believe that the wealthy are the vehicles of economic growth. ...

well lets take Jobs Bezos and Gates and 3 guys off a ghetto street in Detroit. Which group is most likely to create economic growth?

See why we must be positive a liberal will be slow?

Do you know what the problem is with taking a partisan approach to economics? You're forced to ignore any and all independent economic analyses that doesn't conform to your preconceived political views. That means you're doomed to make bad decisions like believing that cutting tax rates always result in an increase of revenues which ends up blowing up the deficit which is exactly what you said would not happen.

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

there's no demand from the non rich...like now.

how can they have the money to demand or buy stuff when the liberals attacked and destroyed the American family and the American schools? You need a good family and good education don't you to get a good job.

Add to that liberal unions and liberal taxes which drove 40 million jobs off shore and add to that the liberal invited in 20 million illegals to take what jobs were left and drive down wages for all!

I won't hold my breath waiting for illiterate liberals to attempt a response.

RW voters know they're wrong. They know they're being fed crap and they know the R party is bad for them and bad for their country.

Dismissed.

Exactly why the Rs get away with lying to low info RWs.

This particular fool says the same thing about everything he doesn't want to know about. Here's another example -

If they stick their fingers in they're ears, they can keep pretending they know wtf they're yammering about.

RW voters know they're wrong. They know they're being fed crap and they know the R party is bad for them and bad for their country.

dear, the RW interest in freedom from big liberal govt came from our Founders, and Aristotle before that. Can you put into words what you have against freedom or are you a simple violent bigot who just feels superior for no reason?

Only a backwards fool believes in tea party economics. Yeah, let's cut our

Straight to shit. Lets become more like Africa or Mexico!

A lot of what the tea party believes is wrong. Not all but a lot!
