Hence the degradation of quality... Well i hope the efficient society should sort out any imbalances like the efficient market sorts out the extreme imbalances like Climaxes, etc...
All the US politicians have stopped talking about paying bills in the last decade. There is never discussion of what something costs and how we need to pay for it. It's turned into this one way street of ever more promises of easier and easier lives for no effort, all while finding your appropriate "victim status" to print on your cardboard sign. You could be female or a minority and be a victim there, but these days just making less money makes you a victim of income inequality. I guess that's the politician's plan. Create exponentially more "victims" then convince them that they are the only one to help them. In the 90's I knew high level politicians that admitted to me privately that the US gov't very often put out contracts that it knew would fail, but the payments to the vendors and employees were aiding the economy. The Sanders-like behavior today makes that kind of activity look almost altruistic and benign.
Up until 2008, I never really took much interest in politics. Now, Im a hard right winger thanks to Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid- The Liberal Gestapo.
yes fully agree. And it all becomes very odd in that the Nobel is awarded in Sweden and Norway with some committees and offices in Finland and that these countries may have gotten some degree of added social democracy into capitalism correct, yet they award Nobel Prizes in Economics to mostly US hardcore socialists whom have no influence at all on Scandinavian models. One has to really wonder who funds/manages/runs the Nobel foundations and award mechanisms and why it still exists in its present form (surprised it hasn't been moved to NY long ago)??? It is not only meaningless but quite propagandist.
Sanders is a moron that can't do math. People that can do math don't believe in socialism unless they are willfully ignorant or maybe hard line envirocommies...
I might have entertained the Democrats viewpoint but one day I saw their spokeshole Carville in action... it revealed so much about the character of a party that would talk like that, argue on that moronic level, that I decided that no way could I vote for that trash... I haven't found any reason to vote for them ever since
That's a good point, I didn't know about this data, but we're talking about the U.S. in this particular case, so I still think that Bernie's ideas make some sense.
