I've noted that debt-fuelled binges in recent economic experience have not helped but made things worse. Why would the 70s or the 90s be less relevant than the 30s? I've argued that the core problem is a lack of income, not a lack of consumption, so helping consumption is not likely to help. I've said where that income can come from (wage increases and tax increases).
I have provided arguments, proposals and have reacted to your arguments, but if you refuse to acknowledge this, I fail to see the point of continuing this conversation. I have called you an "objecitve ally" of people you don't like in response to you doing the same, to point out how stupid these arguments are.
And "class" arguments coming from you are laughable, and I think we should avoid the issue altogether, because it's plainly ridiculous.
As to my preferences, well I would certainly benefit from more bailouts of the financial sector, I would certainly benefit from lower taxes, I would certainly deal with inflation a lot easier than people with no ability to negotiate their wages or invest money in inflation-protected assets, I would certainly benefit from lower gas taxes, etc... Your claims of personal interest there are laughable. In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
That if there are no tax increases, you will do nothing.
Is this an accurate synopsis of your policy preferences? Because, over the past month or so, that's been the general theme. Nil aon leigheas ar an ngra ach posadh
