@omgwtflawyeah god damn FDR for japan bombing pearl harbor while we were conducting peace talks with them.I bet he planned it just to get us in that war. japan was in an alliance with Germany, attacking one meant attacking both. we didn't attack germany and then attack japan, we got germany first, because france was destroyed and britain was under siege, had we waited germany would have fully taken britain and we would have lost an ally. not to mention that our Atlantic fleet hadn't just been pulverized.any economist knows that the only way to fight a recession is through spending or tax cuts. most presidents usual do things more along the tax cut method, anyone remember the checks we got from bush?(probably not actually) obama believes that spending has a bigger effect on the economy than cutting taxes. and he's correct(in some ways), but it's slower since it takes much longer for them to approve the spending and then for the work to start. I disagree with obama on some things actually and many critics think his budget has not enough stimulus now and too much stimulus latter on, leading to inflation. The one thing i do know is that america could use some infrastructure improvements and we have to pay for those some how.YOU MEAN THE 1921 RECESSION?!?! that's all i'm gonna say for that one, if you don't know the difference, well no need for me to argue in any case.
Corporations are also planned economies. They plan out just far enough for the next quarterly report. Hell of a way to run a railroad.Do you have a problem with those?
The best bit of the cartoon is the script in the bottom left, "blame the capitalist". Exactly what is happening now! The mixed-economy fails and everyone blames it on Capitalism. We don't have any capitalism! Regulation fails, so they blame freedom. It's like the rapist blaming the victim for the assult.
Okay, so an increasing population causes a decreasing intelligence level per person? Do you have any evidence for this claim? I can see potential scenarios where a correlation may occur (such as influx of immigrants without any education), but this conflates education with intelligence. So could you specify what you mean by intelligence and why an increased number of people in a geographical area causes diminished intelligence? Thanks.And no, this does not justify a government. If people are less intelligent, so will the government (they are people). You can't apply one characteristic to everyone aside from the government.If people prefer to live in liberty, peace, and growth, they will ensure that they live in liberty, peace, and growth.Really, if you left an internally consistent, logical philosophy for some sort of appeal to authority bulls**t because of these reasons, I am awed.
It's not proven false, it has been proven true. You just don't realize it because wealth has been robbed through the invisible non-representative tax of inflation.Since the Federal Reserve banks took over America's money supply, the value of our money has been destroyed by over 95%. That's the only fact you need to know, in order to realize you have been massively deceived.If you believe the comic is not accurate to what happened, then your perception is distorted as a result of being unaware of what has really happened.
hey eXcommunicate, you might want to check your dates. The month FDR took office, the recession ended that was started in 1929. The Great Depression started after FDR's implemented strategies and continued through 1942 when we then invaded France. Check the timeline here to verify your ignorance. <a class="user" href="http://www.amatecon.com/gd/gdtimeline.html">http://www.amatecon.com/gd/gdtimeline.html</a>What will it take take to get us out the next GD? Stope drinking the Kool Aid and wise up.

GovermmentsGun, it is a pretty well recognized economic theory. Market systems go through cycles including the occasional boom and bust. <a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cycle">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_cycle</a>RonPauls, please don't be so naïve. The market will fluctuate regardless. Think about how a shortage in a commodity such as oil affects completely unrelated industries.
