"extremely educated".....uh huh.

I know more than you, buttecea....but that isn't saying much because that bar is so low that one could trip over it.

Yup, and inflation started in 1914. IT's A CONSPIRACEE!!!!

Hey, you are the idiot that trusts the foreign owned parasitic entity that is the Federal Reserve....(snicker)


You are unbelievably stupid and naive.......

IT's a CONSPIRACEEE!!!!! Actually, it's very good at stopping the economic roller coaster ride we were in before. Except when the bought off greedy idiot megarich gets the madness going again. 1929, 1989, 2008...

Total bullshit. The Fed created the very crisis that it was allegedly there to prevent. You don't know diddly squat and it shows.

How? Link?

Since when does Julius Caesar wear a navy suit with a red tie and go by the name of "Donald"? You're an idiot. This was nothing more than the left wanting to depict Donald Trump getting stabbed.

First of all, the beauty of Shakespeare is that his stories are universal and don't have to be set in Elizabethan England (or ancient Rome, in this specific case). Also, Shakespeare-in-the-Park didn't change the dialogue from Caesar to Trump (While re-imagining Shakespeare is common, re-writing it is a big no-no). For one, "Caesar" keeps the iambic pentameter whereas replacing it with "Trump" does not.

That's a good point. It's so universal - remember when they were stabbing the shit out of the black Julius Caesar during that play while Barack Obama was president?

 

[francoHFW]

Guno, I am extremely educated and I support Trump until he gives me a reason to not support him. So, let's have a debate or discussion about the current state of affairs. You are good with insults but what do you have in the way of meaningful debate?

No, in 2008, dumbass. THAT GOP scam. In 1929, it was hugely overvalued stock market because of of selling on margin- THAT GOP scam. In 1989, it was the GOP S+L scam crisis- None of which had anything to do with the Fed.

So you dupes are saying it's better to have this gd mess of panics and runs? I don't think so...

Even your own chart shows less natural business cycles and more inflation after the imposition of the FED and the elimination of gold and silver. You are indeed hopeless.

You are probably clueless as to the real reason how the top .01% are able to concentrate their wealth so effectively.

[Timmy]

Can I get an example of right wing tolerance? Just one will do.

What's your point ? Other than the 2nd, the GOP wipes their ass with the bill o rights .

You're having the same problem that Franco is having. I'm not going to argue with you there, not much.

You are confusing globalists and statists of US inc. with sovereign citizens of these united states that understand the intent of the framers. I would say that folks in the DNC are just as guilty if not more guilty of the same thing. I remember once seeing a press conference with a California Senator, I think it was Boxer, who said we should limit the freedom of the press to "licensed" journalists. WTF?

They ALL voted to reauthorize the NDAA and the Patriot Act. None of them are, as a group, guiltless in my view. They are all tyrannical establishment pieces of shit, beholden to the Council of 300.

Liar ! You need to look at the vote count . While some Dems voted for it the majority was all GOP . The nays were almost all Dems.

Either way, the richest now get almost all the new wealth...because they don't PAY ENOUGH. (Most GOP dupes think 47% don't pay any taxes)- then the country and the middle class fall apart...

The Demise of the American Middle Class In Numbers.

Over the past 35 years the American dream has gradually disappeared. The process was slow, so most people didn’t notice. They just worked a few more hours, borrowed a little more and cut back on non-essentials. But looking at the numbers and comparing them over long time periods, it is obvious that things have changed drastically. Here are the details:

1. WORKERS PRODUCE MORE BUT THE GAINS GO TO BUSINESS.

Over the past 63 years worker productivity has grown by 2.0% per year.

But after 1980, workers received a smaller share every year. Labor’s share of income (1992 = 100%):

1950 = 101%
1960 = 105%
1970 = 105%
1980 = 105% – Reagan
1990 = 100%
2000 = 96%
2007 = 92%

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

[MisterBeale]

By the way . Still don't have an example
Of righty tolerance.

The entire Bill of Rights was written by elites who believed in natural law. We are now burdened by elites who believe that the state should impose man's law over sovereign free people. This nation was founded by people who rejected the notion of "divine right."

For the "right," tolerance means accepting people of different life styles, different faiths, etc., letting them have the freedom to do what ever they wish, say what ever they wish, practice their beliefs in any manner they wish, so long as it does not harm the community at large. That was the intent behind the Bill of Rights.


As far as the Patriot Act goes? On the re-authorization of it, I counted 54 Republicans, and 35 Democrats, I'd say that is pretty bi-partisan.

Nice post.

And the CFR media has done an excellent job distracting you from the real problem. I won't deny any of this is true, but it is really quite inconsequential for the poor and middle class, this is genius for the elites that control the way you think, isn't it?

Did you know that at the turn of the 20th century, an ounce of gold was about $20? That is roughly how much it cost for a custom tailored suit.

Today, an ounce of gold goes for about $1200. That is the same price of a decent custom tailored suit.

Tell me what that means for the food and energy you consume?

You can sit here and quote for me articles from sources run by elite CFR media, who are in turn run by the same elite 1% that you are railing against, but if you don't see the flaw in your argumentation, and don't understand that you are getting your ideas from the very folks that you seem to be railing against, then you are just too obtuse to continue this conversation.

If you still haven't figured out what I am talking about, then you will never get it.

 

[MisterBeale]

I know more than you, buttecea....but that isn't saying much because that bar is so low that one could trip over it.

Actually, I have no problem with his graph, he just doesn't understand what it is saying, it is INFLATION.

This means, the amount of blue we see on the chart, is the total amount of time that the dollar is inflating. If it spikes and comes back down quickly, that is a normal business cycle. If it goes slowly up, the dollar is abnormally losing value. If we see, in any period of one hundred years, a lot of blue, as opposed to sharp peaks or dips, than the currency will lose value.

If it rises quickly but quickly returns, than the currency retains it's value.

As it is, we see from history, the currency has lost more value over the last twenty years than all previous history combined. There has been no deflationary pressure whatsoever.

 

[MisterBeale]

If the currency deflates, those who are in charge will lose their seats at the table, and they damn well know it.

A 13% drop since 1980

2. THE TOP 10% GET A LARGER SHARE.

Share of National Income going to Top 10%:

1950 = 35%
1960 = 34%
1970 = 34%
1980 = 34% – Reagan
1990 = 40%
2000 = 47%
2007 = 50%

An increase of 16% since Reagan.

3. WORKERS COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS OF INCOME BY SPENDING THEIR SAVINGS.

The savings Rose up to Reagan and fell during and after.

1950 = 6.0%
1960 = 7.0%
1970 = 8.5%
1980 = 10.0% – Reagan
1982 = 11.2% – Peak
1990 = 7.0%
2000 = 2.0%
2006 = -1.1% (Negative = withdrawing from savings)

A 12.3% drop after Reagan.

4. WORKERS ALSO BORROWED TO MAKE UP FOR THE LOSS.

Household Debt as percentage of GDP:

1965 = 46%
1970 = 45%
1980 = 50% – Reagan
1990 = 61%
2000 = 69%
2007 = 95%

A 45% increase after 1980.

5. SO THE GAP BETWEEN THE RICHEST AND THE POOREST HAS GROWN.

Gap Between the Share of Capital Income earned by the top 1%
and the bottom 80%:

1980 = 10%
2003 = 56%

A 5.6 times increase.

6. AND THE AMERICAN DREAM IS GONE.

The Probably of Moving Up from the Bottom 40% to the Top 40%:

1945 = 12%
1958 = 6%
1990 = 3%
2000 = 2%

A 10% Decrease.

Nice post.

And the CFR media has done an excellent job distracting you from the real problem. I won't deny any of this is true, but it is really quite inconsequential for the poor and middle class, this is genius for the elites that control the way you think, isn't it?

Did you know that at the turn of the 20th century, an ounce of gold was about $20? That is roughly how much it cost for a custom tailored suit.

Today, an ounce of gold goes for about $1200. That is the same price of a decent custom tailored suit.

Tell me what that means for the food and energy you consume?

You can sit here and quote for me articles from sources run by elite CFR media, who are in turn run by the same elite 1% that you are railing against, but if you don't see the flaw in your argumentation, and don't understand that you are getting your ideas from the very folks that you seem to be railing against, then you are just too obtuse to continue this conversation.

If you still haven't figured out what I am talking about, then you will never get it.

All I know is, the GOP is killing the country every time they get in, and over the last 35 years, and their propaganda machine is FOS, as are the dupes with all their conspiracy theories and bs character assassination and intolerance..

 

[francoHFW]

Yup, and inflation started in 1914. IT's A CONSPIRACEE!!!!

No. . . . actually, it's a FACT.

We are casting pearls before swine, Mr Beale....Franco isn't capable of learning.

Total bullshit. The Fed created the very crisis that it was allegedly there to prevent. You don't know diddly squat and it shows.

They were selling bogus "GOPer oversight" real estate toxic assets, dupe? Absolutely nuts^^

In 1929, dumb ass????? Are you mentally challenged???

No, in 2008, dumbass. THAT GOP scam. In 1929, it was hugely overvalued stock market because of of selling on margin- THAT GOP scam. In 1989, it was the GOP S+L scam crisis- None of which had anything to do with the Fed.

So you dupes are saying it's better to have this gd mess of panics and runs? I don't think so...

Source: The Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual Consumer Price Index (CPI), established in 1913. Inflation data from 1665 to 1912 is sourced from a historical study conducted by political science professor Robert Sahr at Oregon State University.

Sorry, turd, but not every one of those peaks or troughs represent a "panic." And note, the historical data was constructed by a political science professor - a Marxist, in other words. Your graph is propaganda.

Actually, I have no problem with his graph, he just doesn't understand what it is saying, it is INFLATION.

This means, the amount of blue we see on the chart, is the total amount of time that the dollar is inflating. If it spikes and comes back down quickly, that is a normal business cycle. If it goes slowly up, the dollar is abnormally losing value. If we see, in any period of one hundred years, a lot of blue, as opposed to sharp peaks or dips, than the currency will lose value.

If it rises quickly but quickly returns, than the currency retains it's value.

As it is, we see from history, the currency has lost more value over the last twenty years than all previous history combined. There has been no deflationary pressure whatsoever.

Why was a steak dinner 10 cents in 1900? I don't get your graph...And 1970 was 47 years ago. Why does inflation take off in 1970 if it's about the fed?
