1)Geez don't you know nuttin, that's what the chinese are for. 2) Yes but clearly Bastiat was not around to understand the genius and nuance of keynes like our politicians do. We can have vast armies of hole diggers and fillers no to mention red tape paper pushers to create full employment and wealth of gdp beyond measure.
Oh yes, the better days were when the white man was killing the native Americans... ...the better days were when women knew their place and had no right to vote. ...the better days were when the south had plantations with slave labor. ...the better days were when Americans were burning and hanging witches. ...the better days were when child labor was legal. ...the better days were during the great depression. ...the better days were when the Dow Jones fell 22.61% in a day. ...the better days were on days like September 11, 2001. ...the better days were so great for all Americans, weren't they? ...the better days were when life expectancy in America was less than 60 years of age. Yes, oh how I am sure you miss the good old days of America...
I don't know what index piker said about Obama before, but... "Niggardly" is a real word, completely unrelated to anything in to do with America's . It means "stingy". Look it up in the dictionary. "Nigger" is what slovenly, backwards white trash called black people mostly because they were too stupid to understand that they were mispronouncing "Negro". Yet, hilariously thought themselves to be superior as they screwed their sisters and shit their pants on a regular basis. The identity politics in this country is getting really boring.
Yeah. THAT'S what he was talking about. Not the days when your IRS records were private and you controlled your own level of medical consumption and taxes were low and you were not a Serf to your political masters. He was talking about slavery. Oh, but, haven't you heard? We're all slaves now. The irony that it's the first black president who jammed that through. So, if you don't like those things about the old days in America, you're shit out of luck. Because in addition to all the shit you just mentioned, you'll also get a steadily falling standard of living.
