Economics

I am not an economist. If I were I would be in one camp or another. A Keynesian or anti Keynesian. Believing FDR solved the depression or didn't. Believing tax and spend is or isn't tax and invest. Questioning trickle down or believing in it. Believing Reagan did a better job with his recession than we did, or that Obama's recession was incomparably worse. Here's what this is all about.  I am not an economist so I don't claim a position. That may sound like some kind of cop out, and it is, but it is a truthful one. I really cannot vouch for Robert reich or Paul Krugman. Or Paul Ryan or Ayn Rand, or Bill Clinton or FDR or Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher or Chris Christie or Carl Rove. I couldn't argue with any of these people, or my fucking Aunt Tillie for that matter, or my brilliant lying bullying step son Josef for that matter. I couldn't argue arithmetic with that motherfucking bastard.  So I vote union and tax the rich, (they won't feel it). I vote against the party that opposed civil rights, Medicare, national health care and social security. Against the party that opposed stem cell research. And I vote agains the party of our sick South. Drunk Rick Perry, stupid Herman Caine who said, and believes "if you aren't rich or employed its your fault". Chris Christie. And weirdos like Dennis Prager who believes if you're poor its largely because of your values. A patently ignorant absurdity. Who believes that liberals and secularists have no valid ideas. None. What a crock of shit. How could he say such a thing. Or this. : "No one has the self esteem of a liberal. No one". See, that's just fucking NUTS.  The party that spawned a man who could say that half the nation are moochers that he couldn't "convince to take responsibility for themselves". "To CARE for themselves." He said that and he meant it. It is ignorant and hateful.  That's a sick mother fucking plutocrat hater of the common man. That was not a gaffe. It is how he thinks about us. It was completely in context.  And again, I wouldn't bother to risk my self confidence by entering into a "discussion" with any of the geniuses above. On ether side.  At the usual risk of repeating myself, which ought to be an acronym, I cannot vote the only issue, economic philosophy. I cannot take a position, and apparently, neither can anyone. Nobel Prize winners in economics disagree with astonishing clarity. In other words, THEY DON'T KNOW. NOBODY KNOWS!  So I'll vote republican for abortion restraint, and religious freedom. Or democratic, because every time I hear Michael Medved say "democrat party" I cringe. and because we don't have a Rush Limbaugh in our stable. What a terrible and frightening man.
