    @howdydoodie1111 jobs where? when? whereas the particular type of charity in question, if tied to infrastructure projects, might be a good SOP imo because by all? accounts the Us of A really needs it, and they potentially take the donor out of the picture and reduce effort/risk/ethics disincentive

    @howdydoodie1111 Also,? just a short while back, what loans? As opposed to mortgages I mean.

    No, actually, leaving? a shit load of money in the bank DOES create jobs in that it is capital for the banks that they can loan against. This is a major reason why China is taking off. Because so many of them are savers, hence banks make more loans. Not living on credit.

    @justcallmeassinine i grew up in germany. i feel very lucky for having that privilege. i guess existential fear in my situation is very different from the? fear for your life in developing countrys. im also very lucky to have a literate mother, who taught me, what really makes you rich as a person. later on that changed. we never had money, but our perception of wealth changed, when we did not have enough to buy provide for basic things, like clothing or vitamins.

    Every person who thinks Cenk doesn’t have money is a fucking? fool.

    Hehe? warm nuts :D

    That shirt she is wearing is? the best one she has by far. Her tits are on point.

    @Bob1Mack You’re childish or stupid. Money on account “works”. Banks lends that money to people creating jobs/enterprises. Of course central bank-based system makes? these connections a bit harder to notice but they’re still there and they’re very important if you don’t want your country to go Zimbabwe or Venezuela way.

  12. Bob1Mack says:

    @mootant I guess the phrase “marginal propensity to spend”? is just random words to you, isn’t it?

    @ihaterobbie123 how did you jump? to that conclusion from my post? My point was that majority of americans make far, far less than that, just replying to “bgrim2008″ Yes, it is preferable to live in a society with less income inequality, than with more. this has nothing to do with theft.

  14. ihaterobbie123 says:

    @nnossov See? I knew you would say that. The only reason why anyone would take heed to research which found that 75k is the magic happy number is? so that they could then impliment it as a guide to tax reform. There’s no other explaination.
    Saying innocently “Oh, I’m simply pointing it out” won’t work, I wasn’t born yesterday.

    Fuck the warm nuts……plenty sitting in coach? to keep you company on the same shitty flight.

  16. mootant says:

    @Bob1Mack that’s a Keynesian term and you haven’t? falsified what I said. Saving money DELAYS “consumption” to achieve higher consumption in the future. Let’s oversimplify this situation: are you saying that 600M spent on factory is worse than 600M spent on wages and 600M spent on university?

    @ihaterobbie123 You are grasping for straws? here,

  19. ihaterobbie123 says:

    @nnossov “HAY GUIZE, I SED HE WAS RONG!”
    Sorry, but I demonstrated my argument had substance. You can’t dismiss that with “NO”.?

  20. nnossov says:

    @ihaterobbie123 nope, unfortunately you did not demonstrate substantial argument. All you did was to reply to my post, but? unfortunately completely missed the point i was making. When replied to, saying that your reply was misplaced, you went off on a tangent. So no, you did not make a point of substance, and yes, you did grasp for straws.

  21. ihaterobbie123 says:

    @nnossov Your first reply, any this one, is just an elaborate “no”.
    You’re saying things which are consistent with what I said, and then denying their implications so as to avoid scrutiny.
    Putting your fingers in your ears and denying everything isn’t going to work. The fact is that? you regard the content of this video with more esteem than simple acknowledgement.

  22. nnossov says:

    @ihaterobbie123 All I said that majority of Americans would be happy to make 75k, and would solve majority of their problems. How do you extrapolate theft out of that with your post? Your reply was irrelevant to my post, that is why? you are not being debated.

    The #1 proof of Cenk’s stupidity in economics:
    1:23 “if you just put it in your bank account and collect interest on it, it doesn’t? help? anyone create jobs”
