jjd Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Jason Furman and Austan Goolsbee are not Chicago-Schoolers. Structuring an argument for government intervention in markets and life using the tools of economics doesn't make you a "Chicago-Schooler." it makes you a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akhalteke Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 more of the same: They purposely infected African American men with syphilis. That is actually with out a doubt quite true. African American males were purposefully infected with syphilis to study the disease. We studied that case in microbiology in college. But not to eradicate the race as was implied.

Greta Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Back to your original question... "Please, I want to understand how you deal with this seemingly obvious problem? How can you run a country that you don't care about and one that your wife only just started to be proud of when her husband was running for office?" I have asked myself the same almost every day for the past 7+ years. Open your fucking face, dickeyes! Hey cuntress. Did I say I was happy with our current predicament? If you read a couple of posts ago, you might be informed. I did read your previous posts, and I am informed, if you can call it that. I am, however, having a difficult time making heads or tails of your senseless drivel. Question: why the posting rampage? You just lost your job, didnt you?

jjd Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Naomi Klein is not the best person to quote when trying to identify a "Chicag-Schooler." "If you look at his platform, at his advisers, at his temperament, the guy's got a healthy respect for markets," he told Chicago magazine. "It's in the ethos of the [university of Chicago], which is something different from saying he is laissez-faire." If you are at all familiar with the philospohy of Milton Friedman, you would know that "laissez-faire" is a terrific description of him. "Furman claims he will be drawing on the expertise of two Keynesian economists: Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute and James Galbraith, son of Friedman's nemesis John Kenneth Galbraith." That says a lot. Plus, if you look at Obama's website and the plans he has: expanded government-funded FMLA, government-sponsored "Universak Voluntary Public Service," an even-more "progressive" tax system, public funding for "emergency foreclosure prvention," "living wage," and program after program all suggest that he far more of a socialist than a "Chicago-Schooler."

canyondweller Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 He's a socialist More info on that. Let's see, praising WalMart as a "progressive" success story, saying Friedman's policies created imbalance (probably Mr. Free Market, next to Hayak), not to mention his penchant for wanting to redistribute wealth...yep, he's a socialist.
