If giving money to people who will spend it is good economic policy, how is everyone not in economic nirvana right now. Spending money is the easiest thing in the world, here give me some I'll show you.
Truth is that money spending and money giving don't produce anything. Hard work does.
Who's paying the air I breathe?
Dear lord. We're all paying for that one...
Yes, when over 50% of your labor force works for the government (ie. doesn't produce anything, but consumes what they borrow and take by force) and you ask them to stop that and go do something that's actually productive, you're going to have to cut a few bench warmers.
FYI this is the same reason they ran up their debt in the first place.
Taking the credit crunch alone, why do you think all those risky loans were made? Because the government forced banks to lend below their standards and also got in the lending game to the tune of what, 80% of all the housing loans in the US are owned by fanny and freddy.
Please.
No No, they have said where the money will come from, don't strawman them.
They're going to force europe to lend it to them and they'll pay it back "when their economy grows". haha.
You make a great point. The risk is huge, for the large number of workers and families invested in their business.
Maybe that's why you want to make sure you get the best person for the job and to do this, you have to pay what the person's talents are worth. What that might be? Well if you think you can dictate that figure you're smoking some whacky toebacky.
You sir are correct.
Non-free market systems can't even answer simple questions like "where should this factory be located" and "how much should I price this" or "how many of these widgets should I make." or "how well did I do last year?".
It wasn't wealthy greeks who spent the money that put greece in debt. It was the government.
If by benefiting them you mean would support policies where the government forcibly takes resources from other people and gives them to the poor... I don't think this has a track record of 'digging people out of poverty'. Quite the opposite.
And it's morally abhorrent.
HMMM Go on....
How many failed capitalist experiments are we going to be subjected to before corporations are no longer people
What do corporations have to do with capitalism? They are a creation of the state.
Who should dictate how much a CEO can make? You?
The game of life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy.
