MSNBC's Contessa Brewer, you may remember just yesterday said the attack on Rupert Murdoch at a hearing encapsulated what the British were feeling.

Today, Contessa "educated" a conservative Representative that without the bailout, the country would be in "a depression." Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) said he disagreed which prompted the MSNBC host to ask him if he had a degree in economics.

"Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors," Rep. Brooks responded.

According to his Congressional page: "Mo graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School."

Actually Mo Brooks does not have a “degree in economics.” What he has is a BA from Duke. He may have majored in economics, which means he took a few undergraduate courses or maybe even a few graduate courses in economics, but that is not the same thing as getting an MA or a PhD in the topic. It certainly doesn’t make him an economist. The loony ideas he was expressing today would suggest otherwise

They blindly LOVE Big Brother. They believe competition, pride & profiting from ones labor, are evil things to be banished.

Stephen King once observed, "The beauty of religion mania is that it has the power to explain everything... [and] …logic can be happily tossed out the window.

This describes socialists. They will ignore logic and "common sense." They will ignore REALITY.

Regardless, if you have an B.S. and majored in economics, it is considered an economics degree. Here how you would write it on your resume: B.S. Economics. I have a B.S. in Computer Science. Here's how it looks on my resume: B.S. Computer Science.

A Bachelor of Science degree in Economics program focuses careers in business management, the public sector, academics, and the professions. A B.S. degree majoring in economics is especially appropriate for students intending to pursue advanced degrees in the social sciences and in professional schools of management, law, and public administration, thusly, a B.S. in economics is a glorified "store manager' diploma. It is not an economics degree and does not make you an "economist".

Law and Other Professions

The economics major is one of many common paths to law school. The Law School Admission Council provides the official guide to law schools for the American Bar Association. The Guide emphasizes extensive reading and library research, skill in synthesizing large amounts of information, and logical thinking. In addition to general skills, the Guide points to breadth of knowledge of history, politics, finance, human behavior, and diverse cultures.

A couple of points here for Godwinson and lucysmom and any other Democrat 'progressives'.

First, the congress critter didn't say he was an economist. He said he had a degree which has been established he can say without contradiction except by people like you who give us living breathing Democrats a very bad reputation for being insulting, condescending, arrogant, self- appointed 'experts'.

Second, I have several 'degrees' not one of which actually describes my 'occupation'...and in spite of having attended the LSE as is common for those of us fortunate enough to have served our country abroad, I know I know less about economics than the congressman displayed in his dialogue with Ms. Brewster.

Third, you two have an awful reputation for failing to respond to legitimate inquiries when your statements are clearly out of line and once again bring my side of the left/right divide into disrepute.

Fourth, it is too hot and uncomfortable to spend too much time beating down a dead ringer for an insipid twit, so go off somewhere to sulk and remove the temptation.

P.S. Direct me to Mz. Brewster's cv if you will.

Yes he did imply that. I am glad you admit he is not an economist and knows jack about the subject.

Yes he did imply that. No, he did not. I am glad you admit he is not an economist I didn't and knows jack about the subject. And of course for the normal reader I implied quite the opposite.

And, once again, you have proved your irrelevance in any conversation in provideing anything but BS as in BullShit as opposed to BSc (the more acceptable form).

Make up your mind. And the congressman did imply he was an "economist" and that he knew what he was talking about when it came to a potential default on our debt. He is not an economist. He has the same degree that I do - and it is not an economic's degree but a business management degree. He has a Bachelor's of Science degree majoring in economics. THAT IS NOT AN ECONOMIC'S DEGREE.

The congressman is not a an economist the way Joe the plumber is not a licensed plumber.

Rep. Mo Brooks never said the he is an economist. He was never asked if he were an economist. He was asked a direct question by Contessa Brewer … he respond with a direct answer!

Contessa Brewer asked Rep. Mo Brooks: “If he had a degree in economics?”
Rep. Mo Brooks replied: "Yes ma'am, I do. Highest honors."

Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher was never asked: Are you a licensed plumber.

The success with analogies comes from the skill of identifying the necessary, logical relationship between the given words. the relationship must be logical. In other words, it must make sense. You wouldn’t have a pair of words like “economist” and “plumber” together.

Sorry, but your analogy was not logical, it did not make sense. Maybe you should have tried this one:

Rep. Mo Brooks is not an economist the way Barack Obama is the President of the USA.

I just had to go back and look the “Great Gotcha” that the Rep. Mo Brooks (a Tea Party Freshman) respectfully respond with to Contessa Brewer. It made it easy to confirm for me why MSNBC has such low ratings.

Brewer showed total disregard or either never learned the age old adage for cross examination … that is you don’t ask a question that you don’t already have a good idea as to what the answer is going to be. Also have a response prepared for any answer.

Considering everything, there was no surprise to me in the video, for liberal reporters seem to think they know everything … and that Tea Partiers, and Republicans in general, are really dumb.

Capitalist Eric: I have a Bachelors Science degree in Managerial Economics from UC Davis.

gobsheit: Managerial Economics - LOL I guess the world needs shoe store managers, too.

Wow, nothing like letting your ignorance show...

It's essentially a "super finance" degree- all the foo-foo classes tossed out. Two years of econometrics. Two years of statistics. One semester of portfolio management (applied risk-management principles). A year of applied economics- where 90% of the time, the answer involves the sentence "take the derivative of"... [That's calculus for you artsy-fartsy degree-holders- I got my B.Sci. in one of the few areas of life where calc is actually used on a regular basis.)

I have three other degrees, and I'm half-way through my doctorate.

How does your G.E.D. compare?

You're a fucking moron, gobsheit. You demonstrate that daily.

gobsheit: I can imagine you kooks Googling the terms trying to find something ...

Look HERE.

The managerial economics major at UC Davis goes beyond the limits of traditional economics and business majors, blending a thorough grounding in economic theory with business knowledge and applications. You will specialize in at least one of three options: managerial economics, which focuses on evaluating, financing and managing business activities; environmental and resource economics, which focuses on issues related to use of resources and environmental quality; or agricultural economics, which focuses on the business aspects of producing and marketing foods and fibers. The real- world focus of this major provides ideal preparation for transition into the business world or to postgraduate business administration programs.

Real World Managerial economics majors from UC Davis have entered careers in every area of business and industry, including marketing, analysis, consulting and financial service. They work with organizations such as Apple Computer, Deloitte & Touche, Mervyn's, Bogle Vineyards and Pacific Bell. Many have also become entrepreneurs, launching businesses in areas as diverse as real estate and magazine publishing. Others have entered advanced degree programs in business management, resource planning and law.

Major Requirements You will begin your study with a series of core courses in management, economics, calculus and statistics, and either social, natural or agricultural sciences. You will then focus your studies on your specific area of interest, selecting courses in topics such as marketing, taxation, international commodity and resource markets, the role of government in business regulation, real estate and other investments. Many students choose to challenge themselves by enrolling in an honors senior seminar, where they develop projects on areas of personal interest (recent topics have included "The Effects of Tobacco PAC Contributions on Tobacco Legislation" and "What Drives Internet Sales?").

Very seriously, the guy misinterprets everything because he doesn't have any substantial experience in life. I've never met anyone besides goob who dosen't have any substantial experience in life. So, dealing with him is both frustrating and hilarious.

So you've switched back to the "Ming" screen-name, eh, loony-mom?

You're not one to discuss approaches, and who is (or is not) to be pitied.

But since you've gone this path, a small corretion needs made: You state my "approach" is "definitely lacking." Were that true, little bucky wouldn't be whining about me. On the contrary, my approach has proven quite effective, in smoking out the socialist traitors on this forum.

Oh, don't worry Ming/Loony-Mom, we already know you're a parasite, a socialist, and generally rather dull upstairs... So your continued attempts to have a "conversation" with yourself, or make hypocritical comments, are de rigueur.

But having bucky come out so forcefully, stating that he is offended by my connection of liberals and socialists to 1984, was quite enjoyable.

My sides are splitting, can't you stop your lies for even one second?

I know, someone as... "challenged" as yourself, finds such a concept as being invited to attend a Doctoral program so out of the range of experience, as to be an alien concept... [Then again, I doubt you've any experience with anything I've mentioned, so your laughter is based on ignorance.]

The facts are as I have presented them.

Were I so inclined, I could easily prove them to you- same as the proof I presented for my Bach.Sci. degree, HERE, and proving gobsheit to be a lying sack of sh!t. Easy-peasy...

But let's be realistic; you're just another bimbo on a forum. I'll not sacrifice my privacy for you.

It used to be the leftists that had bumper-stickers that said things like "Question Authority.' Today they follow Orwells' mottos:

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

They blindly LOVE Big Brother. They believe competition, pride & profiting from ones labor, are evil things to be banished.

Stephen King once observed, "The beauty of religion mania is that it has the power to explain everything... [and] …logic can be happily tossed out the window.

This describes socialists. They will ignore logic and "common sense." They will ignore REALITY.

Because THEY are religious zealots...

You are either a GODDAMNED LIAR or (as I said earlier) you paid a dime to candy college.

False logic; another reason why nobody will be calling you.

As to being a "GODDAMNED LIAR," well... a lot of dullards think that. You're in good company.

Here's a riddle for you, bucky...

Question: What would be the POINT of lying?
Answer: There IS no reason to lie...

So you think whatever you want to think... and don't let reality EVER get in the way of your preconceived opinions, ok? 'Cause, if you did, then you'd have to face the fact that... you're an idiot.

"Winning!"

LOL.

I suppose that sort of selective filtering saves me from reading various poster's on these chit-chat channels when I am not logged-in. Can you tell me where I can find that selective filter when not logged in and wanting to read some some MORE serious posters discussions within my webbrowser or shall I have to write an add-on for firefox for free?

I pick on Eric because he is full of hot-aire and he clutters up the thread with his personal banner which displays in ASCII. In fact, often his banner overwhelms the very ideas he is attempting to convey. Eric has no decency, no concept of serious communications or even debate. He pushes an agenda with is contrary to entire goal of these webboards; he is nasty troll similar to "yukon" in other words.

Incorrect. As I said, my program is quite small. It's the only one of its kind in the world. Oh, and for the record, it's a "brick-and-mortar" school, not an internet-based program...

I sense an awful "lot" of abstentions/lack of participation for someone that really has no ranking or capability to profess his own academic credentials.

Yet, you were eager to thwart Godwinson's ideas. You made your own academic credentials a necessary part of the discussion as though you had SOME GODDAMNED RIGHT to throw you various academic degrees around because you are an authority.

OK, you can't discuss the participation of your current academic goals any more because it is some sort of "secret."

Perhaps, you can fill us in on the THREE baccalaureate programs you claim to have completed? What schools did you receive your degrees from? What were the major fields of study?

Thanks again, in advance.

It must involve mainly work experience, such as seeing high many times he can post large font sizes, in lieu of actual instruction. While attending all those important 'meetings' while at work.

Most anyone involved with a chit-chat channel does not involve or relate their professional qualifications as a method to subdue or sabotage a discussion. It is unnecessary as there is no paid-for service and that sort of stuff really doesn't provide a significant advantage towards the ideas mentioned; in fact, the contrary occurs because the exposure of credentials causes issues of another nature that is a derivative of the entire discussion to begin with.

There are a lot of people in America that profess they have a degree which may qualify them for certain jobs because of a learned skill set. But many managers are wary of these same charlatans. Within today's economic environment, we need actual accomplishments to complete the idea of capability and capacity of an individual to be a well-rounded member of any organizational structure; as a re-build of American industrial might is on on-going. This means that communication capabilities are a fundamental requirement whether the new team member is the CEO or the floor sweep. America is struggling to re-organize its own worker fabric and the choices for candidacy for a position are AWESOME to fathom.

Let me point out an example: I placed a job offering on two different professional websites, IEEE & ASQ, for an engineer. The response was so inundating that I had to shut the ads off after a week as I had received some two thousand resumes to review.

This is a fierce and competitive job market as America has yet to overcome some of the characteristics that drove the markets down to begin with. But, it doesn't mean a collegiate "degree" can set the stage or difference for positions; in fact, an academic degree establishes an advantage over other candidates depending on the field of study.

Godwinson argues for a candidate's worthy credentials on this thread; he further discusses ANY credential is not important to the merits of the job. He describes doing so can limit the capacity and capability of a publick official about his own area of expertise. And the area of economics is not something anyone should profess a skillset in these days in America: it is all BS.

And, I find agreement in his opinion. I express myself differently, is all.

This reminds me of a joke I heard years ago.

A young college graduate is hired by the local Louisville Brown & Forman tobacco factory.

On his first day he reports to his foreman and asks him what to do. The foreman tells him to sweep the large floor.

The young man says, "But I have a college degree!"

The foreman replies, "Well, I'll show you how then."

Gobsheit's ideas? He LIED. I was only one of several posters, who exposed his lie. You think a lie is equal to an idea?

Oh, and I DO have the right to state that I have "various academic degrees," because I worked my ASS off to get them.

Get real, you putz.

Perhaps, you can fill us in on the THREE baccalaureate programs you claim to have completed?

AGAIN, you make ASSumptions. Typical. If you ever spent any time at an institution beyond high-school (though it's questionable whether you have a high-school diploma), you'd know that you have possess a Masters' Degree in a relevant field, to be accepted to a Doctoral Program...

In my case, it's an MBA, specializing in IT Project Management.

ME: I have three other degrees, and I'm half-way through my doctorate.
Little Bucky: Where? What field? Show us your credentials!

You already have the one that is germane to this particular thread; a B.Sci. in Managerial Economics, and the entire curriculum can be viewed from the link I already provided.

I even gave you a bonus by mentioning I already have my MBA.

But really, I could scan and post all my diplomas, certificates, even my DD- 214, and you'd still bitch and whine, and try to find some way to dismiss it. After all, when you've nothing comparable, it's easy to attack others... And it's a typical (though quite transparent) tactic that losers use, to try and drag down those that are better-educated, more intelligent, and smarter.

Your rants, your demands for "qualifications," your challenges... they all ring very hollow, bucky...

You're angry, because you don't like being bested by someone like me... Someone you think is full of "hot aire." [sic] You're one of those kids, who believe we're all equal, and nobody is better than anyone else... It annoys you to no end, that so many posters- on this forum, and others- ARE, better than you, in every way that matters.

Here's a little hint for you, bucky: your inferiority complex isn't just a complex. You really ARE inferior.

to discuss any and all national and international current events.... our rights under the constitution and rights endowed to us from our creator. [t]he new world order, Bush's wars, government corruption and the coming cashless society ... Foreign invasions threatening our nation and its culture.... Guns, primitive weapons and outdoor survival ... business and education. ... 9/11 related news and articles.... any news that one feels needs to be discussed .... This site was built upon the idea of free speech so everyone is welcome to come and discuss and debate the issues on hand.

This, after you DEMAND I prove something...? You're quite the hypocrite.

Only an idiot, such as yourself, would confuse professional credentials with opinion.

Professional credentials give one the ability to have an informed opinion- that is, one based from knowledge. Having the ability to pull up information, perform studies and statistical analyses, also comes with professional credentials.

You clearly have NONE, so as usual, your view is typical of the uninformed (aka "ignorant").

So let's be serious. Your opinions aren't worth a squirt of warm piss. And since they're largely the same as gobsheit's, neither are his. It's why you two see eye-to-eye... You're both mental midgets.

Your informed opinion is far from worthy of making a single penny. Better yet, stand out on the street corner and beg for all the money you can since you are so good at economics.

The professional economists, certainly in the USA, have doomed America. They aren't worth a dime in my opinion, having added no significant value towards ensuring America's future. "Economics" on all scales, whether micro or macro are voo-doo black box conjuring methods for some pimple faced loser to get a job lecturing to students about nothing.

Let's see now: in the field of pure science and applied technology we see tremendous improvements in mankind's ability to survive through a higher quality of lifestyle and medical science.

In the world of economics, we have Karl Marx and Maynard Keynes and then Dr. Laffer. Oh well....... nothing to see here.
