Who the gently caress asks the creator of the Laffer Curve about anything to do with economics?

 I suspect it's not unique to America, but I've always found it offputting how many older Americans would rather smirk about young people not knowing a skill required for "manliness" as opposed to feeling guilty about their failure to teach it to the youth.

Any decent economist on a conservative show is just going to go off about nearly anything they talk about because conservative economics is based on nothing.

I'm not sure if it came up in this thread or another, but the mathematics/economic theory behind the Laffer curve is solid. The abuse of it by conservative politicians lies in where they place the inflection point where marginal gains from tax increases become negative. The true inflection point is nowhere near where a lot conservative economists claim., but the underlying idea (that increasing tax rates do not linearly increase tax revenue, and that at some point tax increases may actually result in negative marginal returns above a certain point) is well-founded. It's just another example of conservatives abusing statistics/economic theory for self-serving gain, especially when they conflate decreasing marginal returns with decreasing returns in an absolute sense.

Nah, it's fundamentally garbage at a deeper level because it relies on the "Homo economicus" model of the rational actor, and assumes that the only reason anybody does anything is for financial gain and personal profit. Of course that's a problem with classical economics as a whole, but that's a much larger conversation.

No. The start and end of the curve (0 and 100%) are maybe correct an everything else is garbage and Laffer exists to provide a fig leaf for reducing taxes on the rich. This is also probably not the thread to talk about it. Feel free to come post in US News or whatever because we haven't had a good econ discussion in a bit

Everybody probably knows about the whole Death in the Family/Jason Todd hotline deal, where the fate of the post Dick Grayson Robin was left in the hands of you, the readers!, and they voted to let Joker beat him to death with a crowbar. It's one of the most famous weird comics facts and tons of people who have never read a comic irl still know about it. What people don't know is that this "very serious" four issue arc in 1989, that is always on any "most important comics events" clickbait lists, occurs in the mideast, as Batman is in pursuit of Joker who was "near the border of Israel" to   Sell missiles to Hezbollah! A few issues later, Joker is accosted by Iranian intelligence agents in Ethiopia, who take him for a secret audience with   Ayatollah Khomeni! And what job would befit a man of the Joker's talents?  He ends up trying to gas the General Assembly so Batman can arrest him. Oh well. Thanks for the embarassing geopolitical intrigue, DC Comics. It's even more ridiculous in context, where you have these pages of melodramatic Batman just excoriating himself over letting Jason die and struggling with if he can maintain his code and dedication to justice and the next page, well here's the Joker in a pink keffiyeh

Jaxyon posted:No we're not seriously debating that. Not sure if this is me or not, but I was not trying to imply that the news segment was correct. I specified twice that conservative economists and their supporters often deceptively use the economics concept of the Laffer curve to disingenuously argue for tax cuts, but that did not necessarily make the general concept of the curve invalid. However, seeing as it is almost exclusively used in this context (to argue for regressive tax cuts) in popular economics discourse (as opposed to in academia), it's probably wise to dismiss cable news segments using it.
