tomtom Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 As I recall, economics is a social science; a discipline with testable theories and mathematical models the predictability of which is limited by the vagaries of human behavior and natural events. Â That definition is vague enough to slap on just about anything. Political science, anyone? Â But hey, I guess meteorology isn't a science, right? Â If you say so. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Â In case you haven't noticed neo-liberalism was applied almost everywhere, which explains why so many economies have tanked. Â like this economy is doing soooo great! open your eyes duchebag. Quote
Hendershot Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Last time I checked, it was the Neo-conservative's policies of deregulation that allowed these bad loans to go unchecked. What ever happened to "let the market take care of itself"? Quote
olyclimber Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 Think of your senator and your representative's votes as mere tools of the free market. Â THE MARKET HAS SPOKEN! Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 i did not sign up for this looks like the final fuck you america from a washed up duchebag. fucksticks are running this country like a personal piggy bank. if this is not a good time for pointing fingers, i don't know when would be better. and the vote of likes of FW, KK and other neo-con clownpunchers is costing you and i roughly $2300. I hope they live long, while they suck shit through a tube. Quote
TREETOAD Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 That is about the amount you got a couple of months ago to bolster the economy is'nt it? Quote

And not just at the Federal level but we're seeing it already at the local level with decline of property values (and thus property taxes)along with losses of sales tax revenue.

glassgowkiss Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 That is about the amount you got a couple of months ago to bolster the economy is'nt it? i think 600 bucs is quite different from 2300, isn't it? Quote
TREETOAD Posted October 5, 2008 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) I think 600 bucks is worth about the same as 2300 was a couple of weeks ago Edited October 5, 2008 by TREETOAD Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 how about this? real world is catching up with bullshit. Quote
AlpineK Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 The US ain't alone in having some fucked up economic shit going down. Quote
prole Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 The "fucked up economic shit" in question has been America's greatest export over the last 25 years. Quote

tvashtarkatena Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Obama's poll numbers took a jump this weekend. October surprise, I guess. Â Palin's 'hard hitting' attacks apparently aren't quite hitting home. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 yeah, stupid rhetoric is hardly a tool when you watch your checking account going down like crazy. Dow 7000 by march- i would not be surprised a bit. median price of home 113k? i think early 90's are back. Quote
glassgowkiss Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 btw. i am surprised Obama is not exploiting the economic principles quote more. That one phrase should cost mcsame the elections. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Obama should continue doing what works: remaining the cool cat, continue talking about fixing our problems and let McCain fall on his own attack campaign strategy. Â It's incredible that, given all the crisis today, the McCain campaign thinks that sending Palin out to dredge up the Ayers connection is a path to victory. Â Oh well, there's that judgement thing again. Quote
G-spotter Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 In the environment, pretty much everything goes through cycles of boom and bust. Chaotic fluctuations are characteristic of population biology, for instance. Â Why do people get surprised and cast blame when the same thing happens in the economy? Quote
j_b Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Â In case you haven't noticed neo-liberalism was applied almost everywhere, which explains why so many economies have tanked.
