House set to pass new "hate crime."

First of all, we did not spend our way out of the depression. WWII ended the depression. Not deficit spending. Nor did deficit spending work in the 60s. And our spending had nothing to do with the fall of the Soviet Unioin. It did itself in.

Republicans are for a free market economy - not a demand economy. Trade wars are lose-lose propositions. Yes, the free trade agreements have resulted in some companies going overseas. But it has also allowed foreign companies to build in the United States. So you are only looking at one side of the equation.

Reagonomics is simple supply-side economics. It was runaway congressional spending that caused the deficit during Reagan's term; not his economics.

 

red doesnt determine what market price is. the market price is what somebody is wiling to do the work for nd somebody is willing to pay. if you are nationalist or racist or whatever and unwilling to employ people because they are mexican, then you are paying above market price.

 

Which is easier if the govt isn't taking its share.

 

It wasn't government spending. The country was not producing much in the way of consumer products. The national economy was geared toward producing war materials. What WWII did was end unemployment. It is not government spending that drives the economy; it is consumer spending.

Eisenhower was president during most of the 50's. Last I heard he was a Republican.

The "Star Wars" program never got off the ground. But I agree it did make the Soviet Union realize they could not catch up with us technilogically. The Soviet Union was a command economy focused on government spending instead of consumer spending. That is one reason why it failed - not the only reason, but one.

Supply and demand economics always works. Clinton, as I recall, did not have a huge spending program. To his credit, he was able to balance the budget. No deficit spending.

 

i am speaking about more than just the mexican illegal. i mean him, and i mean the chinese factory worker, the indian call center, any worker who will do a task for less than an american. this started when you mentioned how big businesses screw up america with outsourcing. my point is that paying market prices is not a bad thing, even if that means paying someone who isnt american.

the mexican in our example would work for less even if taxes are paid, that is beside the point. another issue. of course i oppose paying illegals who are not paying taxes. but i also favor free imigration and outsourcing as much as possible. it is a waste of money to pay americans more than something is worrth. a corporation that outsources in not hurting america, they are helping it, and the world.

blimey, i'm not daft, thats rubbish.

maybe if thesemexicans work hard enough, they wil have mortgages and car notes. i wish them the best. and i know they are literally criminals in the sense that they are illegal, but that is a bit of an unfair way to portray them. they just want to work, i respect them. it sucks for them they were born in a ****ty place. i would do the same thin they are doing.

is that supposed to be a negative? you are saving money by having these people work where you shop. plus, you get to broaden your horizons and practice your spanish. nothing pleases me more than dealing with a person who only speaks spanish. gives me a chance to work on pronunciation.
