yes, as i said, if you close your mind to the person you will not see the similarities. you call me unkind when i use your own question on you, does that not tell you something? actually i know it does, because you chose to completely alter your reply, didn't you?IP: Logged |

I didn't alter my reply. I hit the wrong button. I have one reply. You try to cause arguments and/or annoy imho. I don't respond to either of those. If you TRULY want to learn about Israel, the Bible, or other areas which are some of my specialties, you will have to find someone else to ask. Was there anything unclear about that? ------------------

Reagan's deficit was created by spending. The problem isn't that taxes are too low now, it's that expenditures are too high. Government spending has to decrease. A tax hike would further cripple the economy. Obama is clueless. BTW, Reagan's spending was justified. He outspent the Soviet Union and contributed to their downfall. Yay capitalism!------------------

The problem is less tax revenue as well, Randall. It's not just that spending is too high. Spending less, like taxing more, would take money out of the economy, and therefore we can only say at this point that reduced spending would help with the debt. It might overwise affect the economy adversely.IP: Logged |

I see where you're coming from, and I agree with you, but not on the big picture. It definitely may affect the economy (depending upon where the cuts are made), but if something doesn't happen soon, we might see inflation increase. Some inflation is a sign of a good economy, but only to a point. We don't want Carter-era inflation. Of course, it would bring home values back up. With 20 percent inflation, all you would have to do is buy a million dollars of real estate (borrowed money or just have it deeded to you by people who want out), and in five years, you are worth a million. But so many other areas would suffer. IP: Logged |

I was reading today about how some people are investing in nickels. Why? Because if inflation happens the value of metals will increase making nickels worth more than 5 cents for their metal content (slated to change in 2014 according to the article), and conversely if deflation happens the dollar will gain strength, so a nickel will go farther. Win win.The economy is in a sticky spot. I don't know that there is an easy way out, and most political proposals are pretty simplistic. IP: Logged |
