sucks to be coulter making millions while you call her stupid. better yet sucks to be palin,mayor governor and making 30 mil a year while you sit at your computer ike a lump and complain.people on the internet myself included should realise opinions only count if you in fact count in the world...go coulter go pain.
I find it so hilarious when people complain about money wasted on the Iraq War. If you cannot accept that it protects us, why is it suddenly an issue to have pointless jobs? I mean, isn't that the whole point of propping up failing industries, to make work. Isn't that why all History students must accept FDR's New Deal ended the Depression, or become Revisionists? Why is it suddenly an issue to the left that Republicans have a make work project, which they believe to actually be useful?
"their voices are not going to be heard anyway". that is priceless!! I agree the wringer dems went through in last nov elections definitely prove conservative voices "are not going to be heard anyway".
Stick to your guns lady and go down with the ship!
Stupid conservatives have forgotten that the stimulus package was a republican idea, Sarah Palin promoted it hard in 08. Don't get me wrong the stimulus package was a bad idea but it was a bad republican idea
@Toroa28 Stupid Democrats have forgotten that Joe Biden wrote the patriot act they hate so much. They also forget that the stimulus package that Bush signed in was to help solve the problem the Left, more specifically Barney Frank, created in the housing market. You are right though all of the stimulus packages were bad ideas. But wrong about it being a republican idea.
@joshw9444 Very original.. did you come up with that yourself? Oh wait, liberals don't think for themselves.... And you can't spell. Just throwin' that out there.
Whats wrong with that woman in the black?! DONT ENCOURAGE ANNE COULTER TO RUN FOR OFFICE! The President didnt attack rush limbour. Defending yourself from blatant, spiteful insults without responding in kind is not attacking. And everything Rush and Anne have said here disorts logic . Its was 8 years of republican rule that led to this economic crisis Rush is whining about. And theres nothing 'principled' about bailing out companies to make dividends and invading countries for oil
@1982mockingbird1982 " Its was 8 years of republican rule that led to this economic crisis Rush is whining about." That is factually wrong. I agree with the insanity of baling out companies. Now that we have seen Obama poor the cash on them do you still agree?
@1982mockingbird1982 "Its was 8 years of republican rule that led to this economic crisis" That's just factually wrong. I agree with you about the bailouts but now that we've seen Obama poor the cash on them are you still of the same opinion?
@equsnarnd But I dont feel it was just the bailouts. I feel they didnt regulate the banks and other big businesses strenously enough so they were free to give loans to anyone and exploit them with high interest rates, executives and directors could take unreasonably high renumeration etc. I feel they did what was in the best interests of the executives and investors who vote for them at the expense of the middle class. I could be wrong tho and Obama hasnt gone in a radiccaly opposite direction
@1982mockingbird1982 It's not so much that you're wrong as there is a lot more to the picture in the form of gov't malfeasance. Going back to the Clinton admin the gov't started to put pressure on lending inst to give loans to people who did not qualify. This involved Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, some of the folks who are Obama's advisors, the Federal Reserve all threatening businesses to make these loans. Once the gov't creates a moral hazard all bets are off. Too little room to tell it all.
@equsnarnd Well thanx for enlightening me on that, this is stuff I did not no. Personally I dont mind the excessive lending so much bcoz that could have been intended to help needy ppl, but i agree that democrats have made poor fiscal decisions. But its mainly allowing banks to increase interest rates, and allowing executives to recieve high remunerations that I feel was unnessary and was an example of risking the countries future just to increase dividends and remuneration 4 the already rich

Haha look who's right.. The stimulus failed and everything else Obama has forced down our throats have failed. Start taking note liberals, you guys fail.
Is this woman a comic or a commentator or a satirist? I mean, she cannot seriously mean that "liberals" and "liberalism" is the cause of everything that is wrong with the USA. Am I missing something here?
@PissedFechtmeister : Keynesian economic principles are what FDR and Marriner Eccles based their so-called "new deal" which brought an end to the worst economic depression ever and it is no accident that the problems that bedevil America today coincide ever so neatly with the dismantling of those laws, one by one. Don't take my word for it. Look at "the federal companies holding Act", now defunct.The scale of the banking meltdown simply wouldn't have happened if it were still on the books
@reshie1000 FDR's policies prolonged and deepened the GD. The current crisis could not have happened without the FED and government creating the moral hazard.
I like Ann, but she is not an economist! About the stimulus five minute in she says, "There's no way it can work." It's hilarious. Almost spit my food out. The other week I saw her giving military advice!! She must be amazed that nobody is able to stop her.
Ann Coulter is right. The Republicans cannot go any further to the left or else they might as well just join the other party at this point. That's why you are seeing a strong push to the right in the Republican Party.
Look this would all be redundant if the government cut spending, ease the tax burden, allow us to increase industries that are languishing under big government and unions. Let private sector make money so we can pay out our debts to China and Japan. It's the only way out. War won't work (who would ally with us against China?) Diplomacy won't work (they don't care about our feelings.) We need to grow our economy so they cant possibly touch us. They are laughing at us right now.
Anthony (Ann) Coulter is a horrible looking woman. When the sex change surgery was done the doctors should have done something about his large ears and Adams apple. He tries to be feminine by constantly flipping his bleached hair but that does not cover the pretentious drag queen within. He is too emaciated and boney to do those glamour poses he tries. He is laughable.

OBAMA HAD A GOOD REASON FOR THE STIMULUS PACKAGE!!!!!!
bush never invested our tax dollars in anything... thats why obama is keeping the tax cut but spending the trillion dollars saved up... also bush invested NOTHING into science... FUCKING CONSERVATIVES... nasa hasent got any better since the 1960's!!!!!! when will we land on mars you jesus loving/human hateing fucks?
@wildboy789789 So let me get this correct...Obama is keeping the tax cut but spending $ 1 trillion we SAVED UP. ARE YOU SMOKING CRACK? Trillion dollars were borrowed from china, and we haven't had saved money since 1837 when President Andrew Jackson left office and the country debt free. Obama is not spending saved money...he's spending more that the tax revenue is bringing in....thats called deficit spending.
if america is in debt... and the african congo is debt free... then why do we drive cars? eat good food? go to good schools? have an all around better life?
why... ill tell you why... because debt = illusion... if you give me a car and education and food, then ill gladly give my self the title of "debt ridden"... but you basically just made me richer than you... i owe you, but own more of your stuff
its a trick... but considering the average person cant to algebra im not suprised
@wildboy789789 LOL! Well since you don't think we're in debt, Please tell President Obama too stop begging CHINA to buy our Bonds and debt. "If America is in debt" hilarious
@wildboy789789 Debt isn't an illusion or trick, it's very real. Eventually there becomes a point when China will own enough debt to make the United States do whatever they want. Max out your credit card bill and don't pay it back and then tell me how long it takes the bank to take everything back and let you keep your debt ridden title.
if you dont pay your debt then the government forces you to pay it back... but who forces the usa to pay china?
chinas only option to get its money back is war or to keep tradeing... and if there is a war and we win then there is no debt to pay back so thats what we are hopeing for
@wildboy789789 Who said it has to be a military action to get the money back? China could very easily block trade to the United States and we'd be the ones suffering, especially since they are the ones who have the money.
Also, the United States probably wouldn't beat China in a war. They have more resources, produce a vast majority of the goods that we use in this country, and have higher IQs than us. You don't want to be in a war against them.
I hope you know that that "paper money" you are giving them is a commodity that equals a fraction of our monetary standard (i.e., gold). Secondly, you can't use the IQ rate of females because in the world, females usually have less rights to education. Also, China manufacturers more than the US so check your facts.
You really need to take a basic economics class. Money isn't just paper. The only reason we have paper is because its easier/faster to divide up and count.
If the U.S. defaults on its debts, its credit suffers. Too much damage to its credit, and It can't borrow money anymore - banks wont lend to countries that don't pay back their debts. The entire economy rests on the country's ability to borrow money. If it can't borrow money, it will whither up and die.
dont you think banks would have stopped loaning us money around 100,000,000,000$?
we are the fucking usa... we arnt going anywhere fast... the world would be plungged into instant war without the threat of the usa, europe alliance to stop dictators... not to mention italy would be fascist within the year with bersculoni running the show
the usa is rich and in debt... which is much better than being payed off and poor
No, the U.S.A. makes its interest payments. That's all that matters. The debt is allowed to increase by lending banks, because the interest will also increase. The lenders aren't interested in having the principle paid back. Debt is servitude - if you're in someone's debt, you're in their servitude. Wouldn't you like to have a nation as powerful as the U.S. in your servitude? And, as long as there's interest owed on that debt, there's also a steady stream of incoming cash.
Well, in some ways, yes. But in more important ways, no. The greater the debt, the greater the reduction in true sovereignty of a nation. No nation that is beholden to an outside power is truly sovereign, obviously. Plus, it's somewhat of a balancing act. Incur too much debt and the whole thing collapses. But, in the eyes of world economic powers, yes - a "healthy" amount of debt makes a country more valuable than a completely debt-free nation - at least, it makes the country more of an asset.
The thing to remember is, it's all just a game - it really is. And, like any game, it only works as long as everybody agrees to play along with the established rules. If someone stops playing the game by the rules, the game will likely stop. Except, with this game, if it stops like that, the world is plunged into turmoil and many, many people will die - and nobody wants that.
@BloatedSensations The US won't default on its debts because it can always just print up more money. The leads to a devaluation of the dollar, but the banks don't mind because they get the lion's share of the new money. So while the common man is most hurt by inflation, the bankers are relatively better off.
@PissedFechtmeister The US doesn't print its own money. It purchases it from a private institution - the Federal Reserve. The Fed is governed by representatives of private member banks who have an interest in not allowing runaway inflation. So, it's not really as easy as just up and printing more money - unless the banking industry happens to think that's a good idea, of course.
@BloatedSensations The FED is only semi-private. The US government is responsible for choosing the chairman of the FED. So all it needs to do is choose someone willing to print up money whenever it wants. Someone like Bernanke will do just fine. And why wouldn't the FED want to print up money. The inflation benefits them.
@PissedFechtmeister Inflation does not benefit the FED. That's one of the main reasons it was created - to remove from government the ability to print money whenever the need arises. The more money the government prints, the more inflation rises. The higher inflation gets, the less people borrow and the less debt is created. Without a steady creation of new and ever increasing debt, the economy collapses. We operate on a fiat money system - our entire economy is backed by debt.
@BloatedSensations The FED stimulates loans by lowering interest rates. The US dollar is worth about 4 cents compared to its value in 1913. If the FED hates inflation then it has a funny way of showing it. By inflating the money supply and giving the bulk of the new money to banks the banks are enriched relative to the rest of us.
@PissedFechtmeister The job of the FED is to make sure that the national debt-load continues to steadily increase. Of course, they must ensure that it doesn't increase so quickly that people become spooked, stop borrowing and thus ceasing to incur more debt. But, at their core, their main job is to make sure that the amount of debt in the country continues to climb at a steady pace. They can't achieve that if they allow the printing of money at will.
"Debt isn't an illusion or trick, it's very real."
Oh really? Go get me a couple of handfuls of debt, then. What natural potency does debt have? Can it displace water? Does it have a gravitational attraction? Can it occupy space?
Debt isn't "real" It's an entirely fictitious human construct. You *think* it's real, because that's what you've been taught to believe.
@BloatedSensations Well in that case, oh grand vizir, credit isn't real, nor justice, nor truth, nor honesty, nor intelligence, nor.... I think you are very confused.
@equsnarnd Well, credit isn't "real" in the sense I was talking about. Everything else you mention, however, exists independent of humans. Sure, they are conceptual in nature, but they are not human constructs - they are universal constants. If you can't tell the difference, then it doesn't seem that I'm the one that's "very confused".
@BloatedSensations Ok, I'll bite. Tell me how justice and honesty exist independently of humans. Explain your metaphysics where justice and honesty are universal constants. BTW, if you say '...isn't "real" in the sense I was talking about."' it implies there is a sense in which it is real. Could you tell me the difference?
@equsnarnd Justice is the state of equitableness. Honesty is the state of thruthfullnes. Neither state requires a human awareness of its existence. If we had never discovered either concept, unjust acts would still be unjust. Dishonest acts would still be dishonest - whether we understood them as such or not. If we had never developed the economic system, however, it would be entirely non-existent in any capacity. It is, in its entirety, a human construct. It does not exist independent of us.
@BloatedSensations If you believe that I have bridge I'd like to sell you. Justice and Honesty are human constructs. Where would I look for Justice and Honesty on the Moon or in Alpha Centauri? These are conceptual constructs brought about by our relations with one another. Ever heard of Reification of the Concept?
@equsnarnd "Justice and Honesty are human constructs" - So, you're saying that if humans had never developed the concept of honesty, it would be an impossibility for me to knowingly relate incorrect information to you? If humans had never developed either concept, would unjust acts still be possible? Would dishonest acts still be possible? If you answer yes, then you must agree that such concepts exist independent of humans. If you answer no, then I'd like you to explain why.
@equsnarnd "Where would I look for Justice and Honesty on the Moon or in Alpha Centauri" -- I've never been to Alpha Centauri. It might be teeming with justice and honesty. Do you know that it isn't?
@BloatedSensations Another concept for you to consider is what might be termed 'emergent' qualities. That is, they are qualities that emerge from something else. They don't exist in and of themselves, only as a part of another (as in defining characteristic) thing. This would be the state of justice and honesty. They are qualities tied to the characteristics of being humans (possibly animals as well) and don't exist without them. If humans disappear so do these qualities.
@equsnarnd Bull. Justice and honesty are universal phenomena existing independent of humans. Only our particular understanding of the concepts are dependent on us. Look - if you say I owe you money, then one of two states must be true in order my indebtedness to you to be true. (1) We both must agree that I owe you money, or (2) you must have some means of imposing your belief that I owe you money upon me. If neither of those two things true, then I don't owe you any money.
@BloatedSensations That wasn't the question. It was whether or not these things existed as universal constants quiet apart from being humans ( or sentient creatures) . They emerge as part of what characterizes humans. No humans no,,,
Why? Because monetary debt is an entirely fabricated concept that only gains any potency whatsoever when humans agree that it has potency. A concept like honesty is completely and fundamentally different. If you lie to me, then you've engaged in dishonesty. Whether or not you or I understand that you have lied, doesn't matter one iota. You've been dishonest in an entirely objective sense. Humans didn't fabricate the concept of honesty - it's a universal quality that we discovered.
@equsnarnd Other animals also have justice and honesty. Social animals thrive because each member of society contributes to the well being of society (through hunting together, grooming each other, etc.). Animals that try to game the system by taking but not contributing are shunned, assaulted, or killed by the rest of society. Liberals are the only animals that think that it's a-okay for certain members of society to take but not contribute. Liberals think they should be financially rewarded.
@equsnarnd "if you say '...isn't "real" in the sense I was talking about."' it implies there is a sense in which it is real. Could you tell me the difference?" -- You seem here to want to devolve the argument into semantics. Anything can be said to be "real" given a broad enough interpretation of the word. It should have been obvious that I was using the term "real" to refer to phenomena that is naturally occurring free from human design. i.e. - non-invented.
also... if your neighbor doesnt pay you what your owed then the police make him... who is gonna "make" america pay off its debt? NO ONE... we are the world police... so we are basically stealing without causeing a war (till china gets mad) then we kill off china/debt and tell the whole world that china attacked us
@wildboy789789 I don't see 6 questions. But I do think outside the box, but I do look at reality. When the current budget say we're $12 trillion in the hold. China holds our debt, but killing off china is a fantasy of yours, thats what you mean about thinking out the box? Police can't make no one pay if they don't have the money they owe you....another LIE.
@wildboy789789 American people can hold our elected officials accountable by voting them out if they continue to spend without having a plan to implement a balance budget.
WELL THEN WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE RUNNING!!!! IS EVERYONE NUTS!?!?!?!
im moving to paraguay to start my own militia with 300$... then ill become friends with china and let all their spies into my country in return for protection while i create my perfect society by setting up a real democratic socialist state then retireing (letting votes rule) and enjoying my life
dont critisize me on that... americas founders were a militia too (today called terrorists)
Exactly what is a 'legal' war?!?! Give me an example of a legal war. Hussein was not complying with the United Nations that you liberals like to think is so effective. HE was breaking a 'law,' not Bush...Let's face facts, Obama is a worse President than Bush, so far at least.
Bank of America is the worst most corrupt bank in the world. Bank of America harassed me, ruined my credit, charged me over $800 in fees over a 10 day period, tried to humiliate me, and never stopped calling my house- all because of $50 overdraft!!
In one day I was charged over $250 in overdraft fees because of a company that took advantage of my bank account- BofA charges more fees than any bank in the World!
Pause it at 1:05....That fucking dumbass smile just pisses me off. Kinda like that scene in "Planes,Traines and Automobiles"..."You can start by wiping that fucking dumbass smile off your rosy fucking cheeks"....God i hate this racist,hate spewing, lying bitch. I just wanna unload 2months worth of load right to her fuckin forehead!!
Thanks dookie....it took me a while to write that poetry and all i get is a thumbs down by some dumbshit....Seriously though, how evil and hateful is this woman? She should not have a public voice! Its embrassing to say your from the same country as this thing
Right, because in your simple and minuscule brain capacity, "racist, hate spewing, lying bitch" is not hate spewing or lying (Ann is racist, how?), but it's poetry (it's cheap). Bravo dummy.
so how are we as americans gonna get rid of this debt if we can't even understand it in terms of a basic credit card with a bank. The federal reserve is just a bank afterall.
I wasn't saying that Obama's plan was good I was just stating the obvious. A depression came.
Yosoydame Micro-economic problems,such as your example of the credit card aren't representative of our Macro-economic problem. There are way more things to consider when you look at a large economy and when done correctly spending can get you out of a recession or a depression. Case-in-point: The Great Depression.
Sir, you must be trolling me. I never said Macro or micro economics would save anything. They can't. They're basically just labels for the different economic models.
And on Hamilton, he actually was one of the main influences on the American School of economics that believes in investing in infrastructure or government spending for internal improvements. That was actually part of the restoration of America's economy during the great depression.
Obama Invested in GM, an American car company. And, despite the criticism, saved about 244,500 American jobs.
While it may seem I'm an advocate of gov't spending I'm not, necessarily. I'm just presenting the facts.
I don't know what plan of action is the best for America as I am not an economist, but spending and not spending money have, historically, both worked. However, the current situation is so convoluted that you could be gambling when choosing either.
Well this is great. We saved teaching jobs! Who pays taxes to support these teaching jobs? Think maybe we could stimulate them as well? This is like getting a loan to pay your mortgage. Fucking frauds.
A stimulus plan will extend the recession into 2012 while doing nothing will end the recession quicker.
Proof: 1921 there was a massive recession and the government did nothing and it ended quickly, that is why it isn't mentioned like the great depression.
My oh my u are slanted. You fail to mention that her argument included the phrase, "it hasnt worked anywhere else." Her argument is sound, You conveniently left out that key sentence.
Hasn't worked anywhere else? You mean Keynesian economic policy? oh yea, you're right... thats never worked in America or anywhere else before... Thank God for Hoover or we may never have gotten out of that depression!
Dipshit. We have the strongest economy with one of the smaller governments. #2 Are you trying to fucking say Roosevelt got us out of the depression? Or was it he sacrificed 2500 men at pearl harbor to justify getting us in, AND THATS HOW WE GOT OUT OF THYE DEPRESSION!!

I agree the Republicans are the party of NO. Kind of like the evil, right-wing founding fathers who based the entire bill of rights on the word NO. It is time to realize that what we need is a bigger and more instrusive government that says "YES." That will tell us what to do and make decisions for us. Thank God the Democrats control things.
I am glad the republicans have the intelligence to say NO to Obama's lunacy. Obama is promoting a dangerous, evil agenda that will only destroy America. Obama has not one positive idea. Everything Obama believes, supports, and proposes is wrong. So blocking Obama's damage to America is the highest form of public service. Praise God the republicans are protecting America when the democrats won't.
Rosie was right. we need a real independent investigation into 911. Many witnesses reported explosions inside the buildings. 19 Muslims with boxcutters? Oh please give me a break. Also You Tube WTC 7 Collapse and it looks like a controlled demolition. You Tube WTC 7 Collapse now and judge for yourself.
i wish i rememberd what i wrote. but one side can never because we'll either be pussy or assholes. but why does our economy tank when republicans are in office.
Democrats plans do not take immediate effect. Its a perfect way to set the competition up for failure by sticking your foot out before they line up to the political table.
Liberalism and government is the problem. Case in point: Our housing crisis can be traced back to FNMA, a government sponsored loan agency. Controlled by a few; Franklin James, Gorelick and Johnson, all that power and money was too much to resist. All made millions in bonuses at the expense of the economy. Of course NBC won't connect the dots, They wouldn't dare.
liberals fail big time... it's almost laughable how they fail

I find it so hilarious when people complain about money wasted on the Iraq War. If you cannot accept that it protects us, why is it suddenly an issue to have pointless jobs? I mean, isn't that the whole point of propping up failing industries, to make work. Isn't that why all History students must accept FDR's New Deal ended the Depression, or become Revisionists? Why is it suddenly an issue to the left that Republicans have a make work project, which they believe to actually be useful?

@equsnarnd But I dont feel it was just the bailouts. I feel they didnt regulate the banks and other big businesses strenously enough so they were free to give loans to anyone and exploit them with high interest rates, executives and directors could take unreasonably high renumeration etc. I feel they did what was in the best interests of the executives and investors who vote for them at the expense of the middle class.

I hope you know that that "paper money" you are giving them is a commodity that equals a fraction of our monetary standard (i.e., gold).

If the U.S. defaults on its debts, its credit suffers. Too much damage to its credit, and It can't borrow money anymore - banks wont lend to countries that don't pay back their debts.

No, the U.S.A. makes its interest payments. That's all that matters. The debt is allowed to increase by lending banks, because the interest will also increase. The lenders aren't interested in having the principle paid back. Debt is servitude - if you're in someone's debt, you're in their servitude. Wouldn't you like to have a nation as powerful as the U.S. in your servitude? And, as long as there's interest owed on that debt, there's also a steady stream of incoming cash.

wildboy789789 2 years ago
Well, in some ways, yes. But in more important ways, no. The greater the debt, the greater the reduction in true sovereignty of a nation. No nation that is beholden to an outside power is truly sovereign, obviously. Plus, it's somewhat of a balancing act. Incur too much debt and the whole thing collapses. But, in the eyes of world economic powers, yes - a "healthy" amount of debt makes a country more valuable than a completely debt-free nation - at least, it makes the country more of an asset.

@BloatedSensations The US won't default on its debts because it can always just print up more money. The leads to a devaluation of the dollar, but the banks don't mind because they get the lion's share of the new money. So while the common man is most hurt by inflation, the bankers are relatively better off.
PissedFechtmeister 1 year ago
@PissedFechtmeister The US doesn't print its own money. It purchases it from a private institution - the Federal Reserve. The Fed is governed by representatives of private member banks who have an interest in not allowing runaway inflation. So, it's not really as easy as just up and printing more money - unless the banking industry happens to think that's a good idea, of course.
BloatedSensations 1 year ago
@BloatedSensations The FED is only semi-private. The US government is responsible for choosing the chairman of the FED. So all it needs to do is choose someone willing to print up money whenever it wants. Someone like Bernanke will do just fine. And why wouldn't the FED want to print up money. The inflation benefits them.
PissedFechtmeister 1 year ago
@PissedFechtmeister Inflation does not benefit the FED. That's one of the main reasons it was created - to remove from government the ability to print money whenever the need arises. The more money the government prints, the more inflation rises. The higher inflation gets, the less people borrow and the less debt is created. Without a steady creation of new and ever increasing debt, the economy collapses. We operate on a fiat money system - our entire economy is backed by debt.
BloatedSensations 1 year ago
@BloatedSensations The FED stimulates loans by lowering interest rates. The US dollar is worth about 4 cents compared to its value in 1913. If the FED hates inflation then it has a funny way of showing it. By inflating the money supply and giving the bulk of the new money to banks the banks are enriched relative to the rest of us.
PissedFechtmeister 1 year ago
@PissedFechtmeister The job of the FED is to make sure that the national debt-load continues to steadily increase. Of course, they must ensure that it doesn't increase so quickly that people become spooked, stop borrowing and thus ceasing to incur more debt. But, at their core, their main job is to make sure that the amount of debt in the country continues to climb at a steady pace. They can't achieve that if they allow the printing of money at will.

@equsnarnd Justice is the state of equitableness. Honesty is the state of thruthfullnes. Neither state requires a human awareness of its existence. If we had never discovered either concept, unjust acts would still be unjust. Dishonest acts would still be dishonest - whether we understood them as such or not. If we had never developed the economic system, however, it would be entirely non-existent in any capacity. It is, in its entirety, a human construct. It does not exist independent of us.

@BloatedSensations Another concept for you to consider is what might be termed 'emergent' qualities. That is, they are qualities that emerge from something else. They don't exist in and of themselves, only as a part of another (as in defining characteristic) thing. This would be the state of justice and honesty. They are qualities tied to the characteristics of being humans (possibly animals as well) and don't exist without them. If humans disappear so do these qualities.

@equsnarnd Bull. Justice and honesty are universal phenomena existing independent of humans. Only our particular understanding of the concepts are dependent on us. Look - if you say I owe you money, then one of two states must be true in order my indebtedness to you to be true. (1) We both must agree that I owe you money, or (2) you must have some means of imposing your belief that I owe you money upon me. If neither of those two things true, then I don't owe you any money.

@BloatedSensations That wasn't the question. It was whether or not these things existed as universal constants quiet apart from being humans ( or sentient creatures) . They emerge as part of what characterizes humans. No humans no,,,

Why? Because monetary debt is an entirely fabricated concept that only gains any potency whatsoever when humans agree that it has potency. A concept like honesty is completely and fundamentally different. If you lie to me, then you've engaged in dishonesty. Whether or not you or I understand that you have lied, doesn't matter one iota. You've been dishonest in an entirely objective sense. Humans didn't fabricate the concept of honesty - it's a universal quality that we discovered.

@equsnarnd Other animals also have justice and honesty. Social animals thrive because each member of society contributes to the well being of society (through hunting together, grooming each other, etc.). Animals that try to game the system by taking but not contributing are shunned, assaulted, or killed by the rest of society. Liberals are the only animals that think that it's a-okay for certain members of society to take but not contribute. Liberals think they should be financially rewarded.

@equsnarnd "if you say '...isn't "real" in the sense I was talking about."' it implies there is a sense in which it is real. Could you tell me the difference?" -- You seem here to want to devolve the argument into semantics. Anything can be said to be "real" given a broad enough interpretation of the word. It should have been obvious that I was using the term "real" to refer to phenomena that is naturally occurring free from human design. i.e. - non-invented.

also... if your neighbor doesnt pay you what your owed then the police make him... who is gonna "make" america pay off its debt? NO ONE... we are the world police... so we are basically stealing without causeing a war (till china gets mad) then we kill off china/debt and tell the whole world that china attacked us
you dont think outside the box too much do you?

@wildboy789789 I don't see 6 questions. But I do think outside the box, but I do look at reality. When the current budget say we're $12 trillion in the hold. China holds our debt, but killing off china is a fantasy of yours, thats what you mean about thinking out the box? Police can't make no one pay if they don't have the money they owe you....another LIE.

Bank of America is the worst most corrupt bank in the world. Bank of America harassed me, ruined my credit, charged me over $800 in fees over a 10 day period, tried to humiliate me, and never stopped calling my house- all because of $50 overdraft!!
In one day I was charged over $250 in overdraft fees because of a company that took advantage of my bank account- BofA charges more fees than any bank in the World!

sigh, here's a question.
I give you a credit card, and you spend 1$.
how are you gonna decrease that debt?
Obama solution: SPEND MORE!!!
now your debt is 10 trillion... what to do hmm...
Bush Solution: SPEND MORE!!!
so how are we as americans gonna get rid of this debt if we can't even understand it in terms of a basic credit card with a bank. The federal reserve is just a bank afterall.
yosoydame 2 years ago
I wasn't saying that Obama's plan was good I was just stating the obvious. A depression came.
Yosoydame Micro-economic problems,such as your example of the credit card aren't representative of our Macro-economic problem. There are way more things to consider when you look at a large economy and when done correctly spending can get you out of a recession or a depression. Case-in-point: The Great Depression.
sillytechno 2 years ago
whats not to understand about spending less?
Macro economics and micro economics both won't save you if you're government is constantly spending money it doesn't have.
Example? Jefferson time, when we were in debt after one of them early revolutionary wars.
letsee what happened hmm... some guy named Alexander Hamilton knew that debt would be a problem. So he got a 10-15 year plan to solve it.

Is Obama investing in anything?
Bush's investments:
War, green stuff, nice suits for himself [XD]
Obama's investments:
war, Green "jobs" that cost 2 jobs for every job it creates, a doggy... and 57 states to show for it.
yosoydame 2 years ago
Sir, you must be trolling me. I never said Macro or micro economics would save anything. They can't. They're basically just labels for the different economic models.
And on Hamilton, he actually was one of the main influences on the American School of economics that believes in investing in infrastructure or government spending for internal improvements. That was actually part of the restoration of America's economy during the great depression.

Obama Invested in GM, an American car company. And, despite the criticism, saved about 244,500 American jobs.
While it may seem I'm an advocate of gov't spending I'm not, necessarily. I'm just presenting the facts.
I don't know what plan of action is the best for America as I am not an economist, but spending and not spending money have, historically, both worked. However, the current situation is so convoluted that you could be gambling when choosing either.

Ann has one good point.
A stimulus plan will extend the recession into 2012 while doing nothing will end the recession quicker.
Proof: 1921 there was a massive recession and the government did nothing and it ended quickly, that is why it isn't mentioned like the great depression.

I agree the Republicans are the party of NO. Kind of like the evil, right-wing founding fathers who based the entire bill of rights on the word NO. It is time to realize that what we need is a bigger and more instrusive government that says "YES." That will tell us what to do and make decisions for us. Thank God the Democrats control things.

I am glad the republicans have the intelligence to say NO to Obama's lunacy. Obama is promoting a dangerous, evil agenda that will only destroy America. Obama has not one positive idea. Everything Obama believes, supports, and proposes is wrong. So blocking Obama's damage to America is the highest form of public service. Praise God the republicans are protecting America when the democrats won't.

Liberalism and government is the problem. Case in point: Our housing crisis can be traced back to FNMA, a government sponsored loan agency. Controlled by a few; Franklin James, Gorelick and Johnson, all that power and money was too much to resist. All made millions in bonuses at the expense of the economy. Of course NBC won't connect the dots, They wouldn't dare.
