"It's not our problem. We kept the pound"

Elegant, as always...

@RedTory59 He wasn't elected to merely smile and sing them praises.

What's more funny is all the american right wingers who love Daniel Hannan failing to ignore his solution of QE for the periphery.

Ron Paul supporters, I'm sure will still love him :)

Southern States are effectively subsidised by more productive states in US. Texas is probably the only productive state in old south ( Virginia and NC I considered more in line with new southern mentality of technology, science).

Mississipi, South Carolina, Arkansas are effectively like the PIIGS nation, while California is Germany - heavily indebted but a well functioning, entrepeneurial economy.

@EconomicLiteracyNow Thanks for the info. (subbed you).

@ritchloui

You are misinformed about US economic trends. The southern states and Rocky Mountain states have had the most growth due to business and growth friendly policies. The former industrial stronghold in the midwest and northeast is now called the Rust Belt. California, Illinois, New York and several other states are virtually bankrupt from their bloated public unions. Most of the northern and coastal union states have forced-union laws. Less than 10% of US workers are in unions.

I notice at times, some left wing thugs on the this DH website/channel. As usual, they post derogatory comments towards Mr. Hannan and sometimes they approach with two faced, sort of backhanded comments towards Mr. Hannon or towards conservatism. Please remember, leftwings are thugs, like to intimidate, like to control. They like to pollute any thing that is conservative becuase they like to intrude in the few places left that are not dominated by their garbage and manipulation tacticts.

@postmasterw00t I think we, in the West, have been under a rather unhealthy illusion that our systems of representation and governance are very robust. They are not and can easily be subverted. The British system took 1,000 years of struggle and bloodshed as it muddled its way along. I think the US has yet to really deal with its southern states. My understanding is that they have deteriorated into a prison based as opposed to slave based economy. Is that unfair?

@ritchloui

I meant left wing in terms of liberalisation, egalitarianism, freedom of expression and anarchy quite frankly. Not the warped and corrupted ideals we have seen in the past in the USSR. Unfornately for the common people you are spot on in your analysis of current affairs and we will likely never see an uncorrupted and true form of left wing politics in action because of the greed of man and the current disparities that already exist.

[ritchloui]

@postmasterw00t Hahaha. It sounds like you have no idea what the 'far left' means; it means centralised and large government. The far right and the far left are ideologically very similar; they are dogmatic idealists who have only ever been able to create dystopias whilst insisting that extermination is not their fault and they must have more power to continue with their experiment at governance.

[postmasterw00t]

@ritchloui Facist? i would place myself very far on the left actually, not quite as far as communism though. I dont believe we should even have a government. Do you even know what facism is? You talk some right bullshit

[ritchloui]

@postmasterw00t Ah, I smell the ugly odour of a fascist. Let's not mention Hitler's Jihad (which he explained in his infamous book My Struggle). Let's not mention the Ottoman Empire that contributed absolutely NOTHING to the modern world. Let's not mention the supremacist superstition that has crippled the entire ME and North Africa for 1,000 years. Europe exterminated 6 million Jews and replaced them with 20 million fanatical Muslims who openly despise their host countries.
