odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | I can't tell you how totally DEAD the idea is with economists, generally, that greed has much to do with inflation. It DIED with the Whip Inflation Now, "WIN", [they made buttons to wear] campaign in the late 70s ... and the idea was to get people to quit demanding higher wages. It's now accepted that instead an overlarge money supply has to be eliminated... and to expect people to not want their wages to keep up with inflation is just, well, being an asshole. How about 'you go first', politicians? So how does this thread get into DT? Somebody found it in the Democrat Playbook under the chapter "make sure Biden doesn't get blamed" I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

Moi? J'accuse? Read carefully.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18764 | I didn't dismiss Biden completely. In case you don't get it. Tanko blaming unnecessary spending is just an opinion. Unnecessay to who didn't want him elected. Trump elected to build wall. To me unnecessary spending. "Other actions also he did unnecessary." -Yoda. Doesn't mean he didn't make mistakes either, but every President does. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5112 | of course it's realized now the juicy target is 'corporate greed' ... puts me in the position of defending big corporations, which I don't much care to do . A lot not to like with them, of course, but to blame them for inflation is totally misplaced. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

It's very odd to me, that you dismiss it. Just as premise, let's say "corporations exist primarily to benefit the economy at large." That's not their primary purpose. You know what it is. I know what it is. Corporations know what it is. And the above ain't it. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
