Governments create money all the time. The notion that it's finite is silly.

The limit is inflation.

This is a stupid right wing notion that actually plays directly into the hands of the rich.

inflation can be checked by low wages and an ignorant populous.

the limit might then be hyperinflation.

Obviously, you comment in ignorance. The po po as you say worked with the event organizers to define a plan that would keep the nazis separate from the general public. They would still be able to make all their noise and visual regalia like the Nazi flags and KKK shit but the police could keep the two groups separate. The chief of Charleston police said that the organizers changed plans without notifying police and defeated their attempts to keep the peace.

So, no. It's the fault of the Nazis. They came to Charlottesville to bust heads and masturbate with each other later.

Video of chiefs comments saying exactly what I described is in the link below.

And so, you jump to the wrong conclusion yet again. As I said it's not in your DNA to be a thoughtful person one can talk to.

It was very clear to me that the White supremacists came with the express intent to start a riot.

Who gets prosecuted for this?

You used to be a rational person. Now you're following the debating style of a radical who's getting increasingly desperate. It's really kinda sad, and beneath you.

Economics has a lot to do with what's going wrong with our country.

Go scream about Nazis somewhere else.

So how about calling yourself other than a liberal. You have:
  • just sided with a homophobe who spent a lot of time insulting a member of this board with his homophobic rants. I gave you a chance to show us who you really are.
  • sided with Trump on calling Antifa equally responsible for the violence and even counseling that THEY watch themselves, not the violent murderous bigots who brought the fight to Charlotsville
  • said the Flynn firing and Russia investigaion is a "distraction" from doing the peoples business.
Clearly a cafeteria liberal if there ever was one. I think moderate conservative is a better description of Sandernistas such as you.

The investigations are under way. Certainly the murderer will be prosecuted. The FBI is investigating the events in Charlottesville for civil rights crimes. The KKK has a lot of experience and connections. Maybe the only one charged will be the murderer. Does it matter? Mr right winger?

Your logic is ridded with errors. Agreeing with someone's point is different than agreeing with everything they ever said. That's just pathetic.

Antifa isn't doing themselves any favors by being baited into violence with white supremacists. That's a different point than saying they started it. Of course those who started it should absolutely be held accountable.

Flynn and Russia isn't even being discussed, 'squirrel!' distraction. Again, pathetic, nevermind out of context; my point then was that concentrating on the scandal was not moving the people's business forward. It is now clear that's not going to be on the agenda no matter what until and unless the Chump is ousted.

Anything else?

Your sorry attempts to smear me rather than engage with me in honest debate have me in agreement with Pada about you; you are no longer worth discussing things with, because you can't debate honestly.

I'm only as right wing as you are. But keep up the smear campaign; your ineptitude is amusing.

Let's hope everyone who's guilty is prosecuted.

I'm interested in Justice.

since you literally said the white trash was "lawfully" there then you are holding them to a higher standard than the general public.....a label that I assume you are attempting to levy on all the counter demonstrators who were organized as well.

by your logic if the white trash had no permit they would have required no plan and thus had no safety burden as they would have just been the "general public".

so which way is it doggy? equal rights or hold literal white supremacists to a higher standard as you seem to have done here?

equal rights seems easier but you do you.

first off I never said currency should be finite, just inelastic.

if that's what you assumed then you need to at least read the the fed act.

corps throwing big money at government is a problem, I agree but i think its naive to think gov doesn't throw big money at corps for favors as well......haliburton comes to mind.

we can pick this back up after it cools down in here.

Halliburton got no bid contracts from the Feds because of lobbying, campaign donations and the revolving door between government and big business- in this case, one of those doors led directly to the vice Presidency.

Economics is about cause and effect. It is fundamental to understanding how things work. I'm unsure you have a solid grasp on the mechanics.
