To: A K A Stone (#0) (Edited) Tell us how it specifically would effect you or if you think it wouldn't directly effect you. As the dollar tanks, and the value of precious metals go up, I'll be sitting better than ever! Since I'm not "on the dole" as most of your socialist posters appear to be, it'll affect me not at all... But thanks for asking! It used to be the leftists that had bumper-stickers that said things like "Question Authority.' Today they follow slogans from 1984: 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 observed, "The beauty of religion mania is that it has the power to explain everything... [so] 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... THEIR God... is the STATE.

We don't do any business directly with the federal government, but the impact of stopping about 8-9% of GDP in a couple of days will cause massive slowdown/halt to business and consumer spending. Pew estimates about 700k people will be out of work this year alone, and the economy will fall back into a recession.

I mean what specifically makes you think you are going to have to lay off these people? What is going to make demand for your product or service fall? For every two dollars of spending they cut they should should cut one dollar of taxes on the middle class. That would put that money back into the pocked ofthe people who earned. Thus stimulating the economy with productive work instead of money shifts. A K A Stone  posted on  2011-07-28   21:16:08 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #4.

Thus stimulating the economy with productive work instead of money shifts. Cutting spending doesn't help grow an economy - have a look at the UK. And note that we cut the payroll tax back in December, with little to no economic impact.

Remember when the Yen was worth pennies? We wondered why a nation's currency was a 1/3 of a penny? More Hilarity! Now, it takes 77 cents to make a yen...;} mcgowanjm  posted on  2011-07-29   8:37:26 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest
