    I have pointed it out repeatedly ad nauseam to you and others under both of my two previous user names. Both of them. Over a period of years. So you'll understand why I'm disinclined to do so yet again. If you actually studied economics, rather than just sat in class, then you would not even need to ask me what you had gotten wrong in your posts. But then, you would likely not have even written them...

    As for the religion part, I absolutely love the irony. Because historical fact does not support any Right Wing version of economics, which is less of a theory than it is a wish list. Faith-based. Like much of what the GOP subscribes to, so I suppose there is something to be said for consistency.

    Actually you have never explained any area where i have been wrong about keynesian economics. Feel free to find a single post of yours where you do. You just do the same thing every time, where you write some shitty 1 liner, and tell me i dont know what im talking about when it comes to keynesian economics.

    I dont blame you for not being able to defend it though, as it really is a completely indefensible position, and anyone with eyes can see what a train wreck keynesian economics has been, and where we are today as a result of it.

    So it was not enough for you that I had responded to you and others in some detail in the past (rather than only with one-liners, which are a separate matter), but you want me to also find these posts for you? Sorry, Max, no free rides for you. And I won't be your fool to ask how high when you say jump. It's all there. Do some homework for a change. You are in a mindless ideological rut and you don't know it.

    As for your second paragraph, I'm not convinced you did well in that area of your studies. It's not even worthy of a high schooler. Seriously. Outside of your Right Wing bubble there is a whole world of knowledge and recorded history for you to tap into. It's all right there if you open your eyes and step out of your denial.

    In other words your full of shit and you know it....

    Speaking of which, if you want to educate yourself on Keynes, 0you should pick up the book "paper money collapse" by detlev Schlecter.... Its a very simple fact based economic book, that even big government liberals who worship at the altar of keynes might be able to understand.

    And here is a real video on economics, by detlev schlicter, though i doubt any of the liberals will watch it since it doesnt contain any cartoons, and it doesnt support any of their failed big government ideas.

    you seem to believe in a vast white conspiracy of hate.
    you realize the majority of the country is white and the large majority of republicans and conservatives are white. And you think we secretly harbor undue prejudice. What you do not realize is that by the time we start making 6 figures, raising kids and working within organizations.... we like everyone who is not trying to tax the shit out of us.

    you do not live in upscale white neighborhoods from Greenwich to Rancho Sante Fe.

    Just about every executive at a tech company or in a financial company who does not participate in the purchase of congress.... is conservative and none of them are anti gay woman minority.

    No thanks. And here's why. As someone smarter than I put it: "Austrianism has a methodological disrespect of data. It is structured as a medieval philosophy based on authority, rather than systematic adherence to real-world data."

    http://critiquesoflibertarianism.blogspot.com/2009/05/parable-of-ship-why-austrian-economics.html

    And inasmuch as economics is nowhere near a science, to disregard measurement as a matter of principle makes it a non-starter for me. "Austrianism is staunchly against measurement: indeed, it is innumerate because it does not use measurement. Rothbard, Mises, and Hayek railed about how measurements were philosophically invalid."

    As a trader, I would have thought you'd be partial to measurement. However, if you favor a faith-based approach, then by all means have at it.

    As an aside, here's a note from a convert:

    LOL, and here you have it, straight from the horses <s>mouth</s> ass Keynes himself, celebrating the end of the gold standard,

    "now a great weight has been lifted from us, great tension relieved there is no danger of the exchange falling to far, there is no danger of a serious rise in the cost of living, the worst i suspect will be a return to the prices from 2 years ago"

    Boy did he fuck that one up.... :D

    this line alone should be more than enough to make anyone who worships keynes rethink their faailed economic beliefs.
